I just wanna say I love you System Shock bros for how chill you guys are. No infighting, no attacking other fanbase, no autistic screeching of any kind, you guys are one of the extremely rare video game fandoms that aren't seven flavors of cancer. You should be proud of yourselves, and I hope to join your ranks now that I've bought the games from GOG.

What are you talking about? People argue about the controls all the time (original is intuitive and better, mouselook is cheating). Also that shitty high-res remake is gonna come out soon, so there's that to shit on. Then there's the nerds who insist 2 is better than 1 (it's not).

It looks like shit and doesn't serve a good purpose, it's being made to bilk you consumer whores out of money, to profit on something which already exists and was made by somebody else. It's money for almost nothing. The original game is great, runs fine on modern systems, but you consumpsionist sluts need muh widescreen grafiks because you're true retro enthusiasts, right?

Iwonder just where Gamma Grove went off to after it was jettisoned from the Citadel Station. I certainly know that all human inhabitants and any remaining mutants inevitably got killed off shortly after all life support was shut down thanks to SHODAN's doing. But what after that? Did it crash into Saturn, one of its moons, crashed into one of neighboring Jupiter's moons, or is it aimlessly floating in the Kuiper belt by the time Citadel station exploded? I'm sure SHODAN was also directly present in that Grove like she was in Beta Grove.

i wonder what was the main reason why System Shock 1 Enhanced Edition at most has only a few traces of the source code with much of the rest being fan patches. I can understand that it got misplaced and/or forgotten somehow. Well, if they can find System Shock 2's source code and put it on Steam as well as GOG.com, then why not System Shock 1's source code?

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 25 19:39:03 2017 No.4146475 >>4145909 I use that soundfont for DOOM because someone said the same thing about that game and it sounds great. I will trust you on this.

Just started playing System Shock Enhanced Edition.Would accept some starter advice.

Is difficulty reducing some plot details? If i set plot difficulty to lowest, is that means that I wont see actual story? What is overall difficulty recommendations? I want to skip all puzzles and pass card search so will set to 0, also lower combat to 1, keep plot at 2. what about cyberspace?

>>4147664
SS1 is in my top 3 games of all time, and I would recommend setting Cyberspace to lowest. Cyberspace isn't really a hard part of the game, but its easily the worst part of the game. If you're lowering combat, you may as well set Cyberspace down.

>>4147875
Thanks. Now about puzzles. Decided setting this to 0 because i cant leave healing suite - door requires code and i dont have it despite searched all in the data logs and environment around. So cant progress further without solution and i think that stupid reading through whole game with gamefaqs walkthrough would pretty much ruin experience for me.
