Just beat this for the first time. I know I'm a slowpoke but this is one of the best games I've played recently.

I really loved the throwback to the first game before you fight Shodan

I don't get the ultra hype over this game: the combat is terrible, the weapons awful, the enemies uninspired, and the level design average...

It's alright. I prefer the first one, but appreciated the throwback as well

System Shock 2 was alright imo, but SS1? Uninspiring repetitive music, ugly sprites/bad animations, bad controls, ugly level design (red, green, blue colours)

Take that back, 1 is better than 2 in almost every way, better gunplay, better music, better level design, no boring RPG elements, diagetic character progression, player augments similar to Deus Ex, the best UI ever made.

SS1 is nothing more than heavily simplified Ultima Underworld... in space

Yeah, excising the RPG elements made the game better.

Enhanced Edition nigger, quit zooming.

Yes because the way SS2 badly re-implemented them was better.

SS1fags are so easy to trigger.

2 is better but 1 still rules.
The controls are the best thing about it (vanilla controls, none of that enhanced shit).
You're right about SOME of the music though.
