Compare this to Resident Evil, where the monsters were switched up and put in different situations to scare you. He notes that the game *is* scary, it just wasn't fluid enough to keep it going. I can't be the only one who didn't have enough nanites to buy the harmonic resonance thingamabob, and needed to spend half an hour mugging poor old Hybrids on MedSci to collect the necessary change. kinda funny.Oh yeah, and the spawning (which you certainly CAN catch in progress at times) is a bit distasteful, but it ends up being necessary. System Shock 2 goes out of its way to indicate that you've had 3 years of practical training after various courses of theoretical training.So not being able to fire a pistol is. In most RPGs you begin as a bone-headed nitwit, and even in games like Deus Ex where you're a professional operative they make a point of emphasizing your inexperience. The point about not being able to use a pistol despite being a marine is pretty valid, I think. Well, if this isn't to your taste, don't ever read any of "The Filthy Critic"'s movie reviews.I quite enjoyed the game AND the review. Quote:Originally posted by Laner:Ah yes, another internet "writer" who has confused sarcasm with humor.Hmm. I just got a copy a little while ago, and haven't beat it yet. Quote: It's not like anyone bought that game back in 1999 you know. ![]() View image here: -Come on now, 'Essays from faggots" ?These guys are trying way too hard. When one can't tell if the writer is trying to be humorous or is seriously laying the smack down on a game, the sarcasm has been abused.After reading the review, I thought that maybe the site was for 'joke reviews.' After looking around, I found that the reviews DO depend on how the reviewers are feeling.That guy must have been feeling pretty crappy. While I won't deny that sarcasm is a form of humor, it CAN be overdone. Again, thanks to zathras2 for pointing this out. quote: Any of these is a lot better (not to mention scarier) than playing a tiring FPS/RPG that doesn't let you pick your nose without the proper upgrades. ARE WE SHITTING OUR PANTS IN TERROR YET?!!! quote: You've probably heard from every other review out there that this is the scariest game ever made and will figure that I'm wrong since my opinion is outnumbered by about 5,000 to 1. When are people going to learn that hand-to-hand combat has never worked and will never work in a FPS? quote:the monsters are cheating whores that constantly respawn all around you quote: In the world of System Shock 2, the plumber is king.they seriously should have included a psychotic plumber class all you do is go around fixing stuff and beating things with a wrench.these guys carrying pipes aren't monsters, they're rival plumbers trying to move in on my lucrative ship-fixing business.quote: That's 5 hours spent fixing an elevator to move up two floors. quote: Since you never find a wrench-launching bazooka in the game, you're limited to swinging it hand-to-hand at enemies. ![]() Should I be scared or doubled over with laughter? quote: So because of all this the weapon you'll be using for most of the game is a wrench. quote: My Jedi Knight duels with monkeys. If your character is supposed to be a futuristic, state of the art military cyborg, I'd hate to see what army regulars look like. I guess he needs all those advanced upgrade modules to figure out how to take the safety off. quote: Your character has been in the military for three YEARS at this point, when were they going to get around to teaching him how to use an icky gun? Could it be he doesn't know how to load it? Nope, it lets me load clips into guns I can't use. First of all, I can't imagine anyone wanting to suffer through this thing THREE goddamn times. If only'¦ quote: A lot of people claim that this class idea is great, that you can play through the game three times and have it be different with each class. ![]() In fact if SS2 had you play Steven Hawking upgrading the systems and weapons of your cyborg wheelchair then it would have been the best thing ever. Wait no, that would actually be pretty cool. The 'final audio log' is good for a laugh.Some quotes for those with little time (the high points of the review):quote: a FPS with the slow paced, stat based tinkering of an RPG is like teaming up Arnold Schwarzenegger and Steven Hawking for an action movie. Here it is!Now, this guy is obviously a 'hater,' beaten as a child and raised by mountain goats, but he sure does have some funny comments.Don't forget, there are two pages, and it gets funnier at the end. Ask anyone in the multiple SS2 love forums. Nobody seemed to read it, though, or else they wouldn't stop making fun of it.If you haven't played this game, keep in mind that this guy is a crazy drunk, and SS2 rocks the house AND the party. Before we start, let me say it was zathras2 who linked me to this, in one of the many SS2 threads.
