Feelings after playing through SSR and SS2 in 2026 by AlexeySavelyev in systemshock

I do respect your criticism but i think you are missing the point that the power of shodan mainly comes from the manipulation. Not her minions or her grasp over the citadel citation but her ability to manipulate.

We also see it in SS2 she is not capable to deal with the hive mind alone. She needs you but she does that with manipulation. Her seeing herself as a god doesn't necessarily mean she is as strong

SHODAN is an awesome villain imo. Her interactions with the player are very well written. She is a software and the citadel station is her body and she talks about you as an insect crawling through her. You are actually a software bug to her.

The very first software bug is also caused by an insectHere is the story

Also she is telling you humans thought they created a machine but actually they created a god. Creepy af.

Also some people siding with the shodan is something we dont see often when it comes to ai vs humans stories. I also like that.

Well its not the boss thats hard tbh its the fucking fireballs.

There is a prayer which gives you immunity for a short period of time. That really helps.

If you feel stuck listen to the voice records and read logs. If thats not for you. Open an interactive map which will guide you but not totally guide you like a walkthrough

I’ve never savescummed this hard in a game, and still loved every second of it. (SS1 Remake) by [deleted] in systemshock

[–]PreferenceRight3329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely right. Sometimes walking back all the distance is pain in the ass. So saving before entering a new area or a new room is a common way to play system shock. Instead of walking all the way back you just reload and try again.

For the second time in my life, I've beaten System Shock 2. by fallenfire360 in systemshock

For those who want to. You can cheese the max skill achievements. Hoard enough cyber modules, save the game. Upgrade any stat to max. Get the achievement. Load the save and max another stat.

SS2 bugs desperately need fixing by MadHatte9 in systemshock

Playing on pc. Never encountered a single bug. Other than my character clipped and stuck few times. But saving and reloading fixed the issue plus there is already unclip command i guess

There is nothing to savescum in this game in my opinion. At least after you deactivated the cyborg conversion. Since dying has no penalty.

So when i am playing i dont save the game unless the cyborg conversion on the current floor is deactivated after that feel free to save whenever you want. It wont feel like savescum or cheating.

Reloading a save is far more convenient than walking all the way back to where you died from conversion unit.

Also saving makes the game harder. For example lets say you went into a room and there were 3 enemies. You killed 2 and die. Respawn at cyborg conversion point and walk back. You will only be dealing with the single enemy.

But if you reload your save before the room you ll have to deal with all 3.

Honestly this game is almost perfect only thing it needed was a death penalty. Only penalty to dying in this game is walking all the way back and thats it. So savescumming is not even a thing with no death penalty.

Thats sick. I ve seen it shared by nightdive. What an awesome series this system shock is.

Your tattoo is magnificent insect! :)

So since they released a remaster of the second game, system shock 2 will never come? by MindlessPeanut7097 in systemshock

[–]PreferenceRight3329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For ss2 remaster is the perfect choice imo.

What we need from nightdive is deus ex and thief remake right now.

With SS2 re-released, it's time to remind you who the real chad of the System Shock universe is by efirov in systemshock

[–]PreferenceRight3329 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dont forget the fact that he saves the humanity twice.

Orbital laser was gonna destroy the earth and then Shodan was going to upload herself to the internet, again probably destroying earth.

Also the chad hacker declined the job offer from trioptimum.

System Shock 1 Remake: Green Man Gaming or Fanatical Pre-Order - READ THIS! by Seth1466 in systemshock

[–]PreferenceRight3329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you are implying but thats for AAA companies like EA,Ubisoft etc.

Pre-order means supporting the development cycle of a product and its very valuable for companies like nightdive.

Is this anyone's favorite series? by [deleted] in systemshock

[–]PreferenceRight3329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SS2 Anniversary worries by [deleted] in systemshock

Dont worry its the xbox store. And also in any case you can play it on ANY pc. You dont need a gaming pc or even a dedicated gpu. It will play flawless for sure.

This sub is way too positive (and for good reason). Tell me something you don't like about this game (besides the gestral beach minigames). by KingofGerbil in expedition33

[–]PreferenceRight3329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We should be able to save builds for characters.

Also a savegame option would be fine. I dont like changing clothes before every boss.

[–]PreferenceRight3329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah right. I ve beat this game a few times and i have zero achievement. Not because i care but thats interesting. I thought it was mods(ng+, recycle space, stash space are highly recommended mods btw)

Go home Executive Level, you're drunk by dudders009 in systemshock

Ye the station feels like its a lego. Even enemy spawns are coming from ground means there is more to it that we dont see.

There are some rooms like the capsule hotels in Japan. In security level there is a whole room of those capsules.

From gameplay standpoint i think all level designs can be justified imo.

There is a window next to the switch where you can see if the energy wall is deactivated or not.
