what is this game?

An example of Bethesda ruining a potentially good game by forcing them to use an old licence name and speed up development.

GOTY

System Shock 3 at least until the actual remake comes out.

underrated gem

I really admire how open the station is. After the intro, you can explore and unlock anywhere without the plot locking it up till the right time. Even the areas locked out due to hull breach are accessible from the outside.

Just a shame they cut out the printing license management and fucked up the ending. The 'it was all a sim' was awful but the worst part is them forcing the player to return to the bridge for an A or B decision.

This game is everything I love on paper, so why did I get bored?

Bioshock in space

The closest thing we'll ever get to a new System Shock. Anyone who calls it BioShock in space should be shot.

>BioShock in space
I really hope I never hear anyone say that in person.

some compromises for mouth breathing console retards but still good
the way the levels are built organically and lets you go anywhere as long as you have the card/code or skills is something you just don't see anymore and is very much like the original system shock
they just drop you in a space station and say, go.
bioshock has a more gated progression and levels are played out in a linear way even if each level does kind of have it's own hub-ish thing going on.
nothing about raptures feels very interconnected

It is literally Bioshock in space but somehow more boring.

Plus I remember powers/skills in bioshock being changeable at any station. In System Shock and Prey, they're permanent decision.

That said, Prey lets you upgrade everything if you grind long enough.

well system shock didn't have any powers/skills it was more like metroid where you just collect items and gadgets to progress
One thing I would have liked was the menus not pausing the game something system shock's always got right the game never stops for you

actually disregard that, arx and dark messiah had that too
Arkane probably dropped it for consoles

I liked the menu pause, for me it was coherent with the fact it's a decision game and not an action game.

Guess I got mixed up with System Shock 2. On that you really did have to decide on what your character was good at and commit to it.

Arkane devs posting on Sup Forums, desperately trying to turn in into a "cult hit" like VTMB or New Vegas. I guess they were really proud of this mediocre game.

Bethesda really are scum.

Still a great game, though.

How do I got gud at combat in this game?
I try to use the environment and the glue gun but everything bigger than a mimic royally fucks me up on normal difficulty

you playing on console?

You stick your shotgun up their assholes and you press the trigger twice, works with any phantom, for stuff bigger than phantoms you just press the trigger a few more times, easy.

Psychoshock + Wrench

Yeah, PS4.
Would like to play FPS games on PC but can't upgrade because the of the GPU-Bitcoin stuff going on.

>using alien abilities
Kill yourself

>not using your natural abilities

>PS4
hahaha
