weird ui

horrible, HORRIBLE controls/ui
I haven't tried it but the nightdive remake looks very good. probably better to start with that unless you're especially interested in outdated and archaic fps

Even with the Enhanced Edition, they're still terrible.

game controls fine
you press a button to move shit in your menu and then go back

If you're playing the EE, a pretty good time if you don't mind an 'old' looking game and weird, occasionally discordant music. Stock OG version will probably be too funky to play for you. Remake a shit, SHIT.

>>10358003
People will complain about teh controls but if you read the manual and the tutorial you can play it pretty much with just the mouse for the most part and the game designed around it; it's not too bad but the mouse look mod exists for a good reason.

A game that would be forgotten, if not for "hidden gem" people on reddit. It's a bad boomer game that just aged badly.

Nah, it's an excellent game, but not for everyone.

the remake isn't bad but it's basically a different game

just started this as i realized it was in my Gog library (classic edition)
and what the actual fuck is that music.

Why even go back to the original unless you get off to primitive jank?

[Anonymous No.10358779]

Anon, you're asking people why they should go back to a retro game on a retro game board.

[Anonymous No.10358835]

>>10358761
Go into the settings and turn down the sound effect, there might even be a setting speficially for ambient sound effects. The actual music is fine there's just god awful sfx being played at all times in some places. Turning it down makes them barely audible but normal sounds are louder than they are so it feels normal.

But yeah without doing that you're exposing yourself to ear rape.

[Anonymous No.10358842]

>>10358761
The soundfont in the GOG version's a bit messed up. It's really not supposed to sound like that

[Anonymous No.10358850]

>>10358761
You need to get an SC-55 soundfont set up for it to sound halfway decent.

The release of the remake was funny. Since it was fresh and plenty of people were trying it out, you can see how retarded the average gamer is today.

Not to say you're smart if you get System Shock, you're just a retard if you think it's difficult.
>But the clunky controls, anon!
Not even that (you're still a retard for this btw)
But Shock 1 has pretty forgiven layouts compared to dungeon crawlers of its time, and it was funny seeing people getting lost so early in.

I’ve been gaming pc fpss since wolfenstein on dos. Even when it came out it got a ton of flak for the cumbersome controls.
It’s a shame too because the soundtrack is killer and it’s one of the first times I came across atmospheric storytelling. Probably the most immersive game I had ever played up to that point

One of those cases where both the complaints and praises are pretty much true. The only way to find out on which side you will stand is to actually play it.

[Anonymous No.10361085]

thats in the enhanced edition retard theres no button for mouselook in the classic.

[Anonymous No.10361089]

>>10361085
there has been mouselook mod available for the original game for ages

ah,so you didnt beat the game the way the developers intended.

Watching people struggle and shit their pants while trying to figure out how to beat it was cringy as fuck.
I started playing it for the first time and instantly realized that being a metroid lover would carry me through the game, and it did.
All i did was explore the FUCK out of that space station for 20 hours, and i loved every second of it

That's all of them, from what I remember. Tons of hoppers in Reactor, and tons of invisible mutants in Maintenance.

[Anonymous No.10363350]

>>10362543
Every floor has respawning enemies. Once the population reaches a certain threshold, enemies respawn. Not all, only a few and it's based on the floor.
It's very noticeable in Maintenance due to how small the floor is

The problem with Deck 3 is that the enemies respawn almost in front of you.

Actual retards, if you have an iq over 60 they are not bad, in most cases I would even praise the controls because unlike most game it actually feels like you have full control over the character you are playing as. The inventory system is also extremely easy to use and works great, also if you play portable or EE you have absolutely nothing to bitch about since you can make it play like doom 99% of the game.

[Anonymous No.10364180]

>>10358003
pretty cool game, controls a lot like daggerfall with the enhanced edition. has great atmosphere and music. enemies are easy to cheese, but you need to cheese because they are otherwise difficult to deal with. in that way i feel it accomplishes survival horror pretty well, you are really trying to get an edge over enemies. the movement is great, you can bing bing wahhoo jump high by stringing jumps, theres strafe running, and a little into the game you get a skate upgrade that lets you press w like it isn't usually a horrible idea. secrets are decent but usually aren't more than wallhugging. ultimately i think it satisfies the hoarder interest that make these type of games feel special.

the remake is good. its not 1:1 though, movement took a huge hit, and some smaller details id expect to be patched in soon were missed. that said it has its own added secrets, but
>my save got deleted with an update
and i dont feel like playing another 10 hours when i expect it to happen again

[Anonymous No.10364724]

Recently played it. There's a steam guide on how to map the controls so they're not ass backwards on the enhanced edition.

If you want some unsolicited advice:

>Change the UI to the full screen view ASAP
>Don't bother picking up the stun gun
>Don't stress over dying or conserving med packs if you activated the resurrection chamber in each floor.
>Enemies respawn in almost every floor.
>Get good at aiming your crosshair around corners to shoot/swing your melee weapons at the very edge of the enemy's hurtbox. You can mow most of them down fast enough that hey can't shoot/melee you back.

Maze-like corridors but probably a good game hidden somewhere inside them (at least that what people say, I can never get far enough to find out before I drop the game)
