I didn't like anything about it really. It's one of those games that really aged badly. It's very old and very bad, believe me

No!
This game has aged phenomenally, once you wrap you head around the control scheme it works about as well as any modern FPS does.

You have bad opinions and should reconsider them.

>> No.6023794

>no shotgun
I guess it wouldn't really have a place in the arsenal, though. The magnum, assault rifle, and energy weapons already have good single-shot burst damage and the laser rapier obliterates everything it can reach.

Flechette is technically an auto-shotty, there is also the useless slug thrower.
Remake will be adding more traditional shotgun.

90% of the controls are exactly the same as a modern fps with the enhanced edition though.....

I played this thing for the first time a couple years ago. Missed out getting it at the store as a kid cause I was a retard.

I also played the first half of the game very conservatively cause I thought it would be more survival based like the second one is, and then suddenly I had tons of med packs and ammo and decided to go ape.

Fun game. Don't think I'd say best FPS ever, but its pretty good.

Then you will never experience the game, because the remake by definition will not be the same.

It's a dumbed down dungeon crawler. Only 3 character stats and half of them are useless. Necessary consumption mechanics to satisfy the bane of zoomer survival games, aka a hunger meter. There are also consumable torches. This is annoyingly constrictive in the beginning and by the time you begin to sort it out the game just hands you methods of infinite replenishment rendering the entire mechanic meaningless. You'll have also likely amassed quite collection of hoarded loot which there is no storage options for so you'll probably find a corner of the floor to drop things at. Which will also fuck you in the ass later on when you realize this game has a stack overflow bug that results in the deletion of important quest items and keys. NPC interaction is empty. You'll only need a few spells out of a list of many useless ones. The silver sapling system is needlessly unintuitive and is another mechanic rendered meaningless by the game's own rules by just saving and reloading.

Ok let’s. 2fort is the most fun vanilla map for dicking around. That rats map where you ran around in a giant house like you were shrunk was the most fun.

It was the first true 3D dungeon crawler, with a larger emphasis on actual combat, exploration and physical interaction with the game world instead of numbers and statistics. Don't listen to @6025301, he's just hungry for (You)s.

The actual ur-immersive-sim and one of the primary inspirations for System Shock is the physics-based puzzle platformer called Exile.
