Can You Beat System Shock 2 With Only the Wrench?

[@milczyciel]

You know, I hope that just for the sake of madlads like you, Nightdive will add an alternative ending cutscene to their upcoming enhanced edition

[@ChrisTries]

Ahaha oh dude that would be awesome but I’m fairly certain they don’t know I exist 🤣

[@MICKEYrenraw]

"Naaah" *Smashes wrench on Shodans screen*

[@ai3467BlackIce]

Man I will miss Mittensquad, keep up the good work and his name will be remembered by those who knew him.

[@ChrisTries]

Same. I was really broken up when I learned of his passing. Watching his vids helped me get through some really bad times, was hoping he’d do a convention or something, woulda travelled across the pond to meet him.

[@comradeproxytheuseless7458]

Nice video, it did not feel like 32 minutes, in a good way. You have all the marks of a channel that'll blow up when the algorithm decides to push your channel.

[@ChrisTries]

Thank you, I really appreciate that! And thanks for taking the time to watch as well - means a lot, truly!

[@DeepInsideZettaiRyouiki]

To everyone loving Mommy Shodan ...watch (OLD OVA variant) Anime "Macross Plus" and meet another AI heroine - Sharon.

[@GeZz.]

you sound like a mix between Seth and Max0r , dunny why, but i feel it that way... anyway.. your vid was awesome to watch, i can't still play Sytem Shock two im a smooth brain LOL. Hope you get more subs, you deserve it

[@ChrisTries]

Why thank you! SS2 really isn’t hard so I bet you’d be fine if you got into it. Thanks so much for watching!

[@thomasquwack9503]

I subbed within four seconds. I was gonna anyway bc wrench only ss2/melee only is fun as hell (I hope you used the speed booster trick in the body of the many) but Paul… we all miss him. Anyway, you need the psi sword or energy weapon or at least AP to hurt SHODAN, I believe she’s the only actual theoretical obstacle for wrench only. That’s why I pack laser rapier, and just go melee only

[@ChrisTries]

Well I may or may not have found a work around for that… (spoilers)

[@ChrisTries]

And thanks for subbing and watching too 😁

[@adrianalexanderveidt344]

You missed the perfect opportunity to play System of a Downs Toxicity 5 seconds after this moment 13:11 Seriously though, great editing. People tend to take good editing for granted. I think you deserve some extra appreciation for the comical clips and music references.

[@ChrisTries]

@@adrianalexanderveidt344 oh so many times after the video is published I have ideas that would’ve worked so much better! Such is life though. Thanks again - I really appreciate anyone taking the time to listen to my voice for as long as these videos are and still wanting to engage afterwards 😅.

[@tomwatkins8598]

Red Dwarf theme at the end. Appropriate.

[@ChrisTries]

@@tomwatkins8598 Yes! Finally someone noticed 🤣. Thanks for watching.

[@tomwatkins8598]

Of course! Have you tried out SS2 iInfinite mod? The voice actors are terrible, but they put a multi-branching story path and cyberspace in. It's amibitious.

[@purple781]

system shock 2 if the tf2 engineer was invited to the von brawn instead

[@ChrisTries]

“Take it like a man, shorty!”

[@jjurun1500]

I remember when I first watched his fallout legendary weapons only video, one of my favorites, please keep up the good work, thank you

[@ChrisTries]

Still hard to imagine he’s gone. One of the greats, truly. Such a large part of what I do was inspired by Paul, as I’m sure is the case for many others.

[@RF-INF]

This was a joy to watch, thank you! You do more quality content than people with hundreds of thousands subscribers

[@ChrisTries]

@@RF-INF and thank YOU for watching! Not many people can stand to listen to me drone on for 35 minutes 😂.

[@ikarus_horizon]

Came here because of your post i saw while scrolling through the subreddit. Great work, i subbed and hope your channel gets the attention it deserves soon! :)

[@ChrisTries]

Thanks so much for watching and for the comment!

[@ismailergul9009]

Randomly found this video just wanted to say it was very enjoyable to watch.30 minutes felt like 2.

[@ChrisTries]

Thank you! Some of my favourite KZbinrs were found by accident. Thanks for watching.

[@Alianger]

31:00 Only a true imsim has a systemic element to the final boss as well hehe

[@ChrisTries]

Definitely! Shame that systemic element wasn’t being vulnerable to a certain tool…

[@designator7402]

RIP, Paul, you are and will be dearly missed.

[@ChrisTries]

Honestly devastating news.

[@designator7402]

@@ChrisTriesIt was heartbreaking when I learned it. He really got dealt a bad hand in life.

[@MittensOnly]

I literally just started a melee only run on hard This video ought to help iron out kinks before I find them

[@ChrisTries]

Have fun my friend - I certainly did!

[@ChrisTries]

Apart from the kamikaze robots, that is.

[@ChrisTries]

OH GOD AND THE SPIDERS

[@Cherrrryboy]

A very well edited video. You need more subscribers! Do you know what mod you used to get the audio log portraits on the screen as you receive the logs?

[@ChrisTries]

Many thanks for the comment! As it was quite a while ago I cannot recall precisely, and annoyingly the website (it looked more like a forum tbh) has now vanished! Sorry that’s no help at all 🤣. But seriously thanks for watching!

[@Alejmun]

30 min of some random guy trying to complete a stupid idea he came up with on the throne.....perfect i need to have a really long argument with the guy who thought making respawn enemies and drop nothing was a good idea

[@ChrisTries]

Hey thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more stupid ideas turned into videos 🤣

[@AeternumInferis]

you should do a challenge video on thief

[@ChrisTries]

@@AeternumInferis well I did recently buy all the Thief games, so I suppose it’s only a matter of time!

[@echernaut]

Awesome video! I just subscribed

[@ChrisTries]

Thank you! Glad you liked the video 😁😁

[@darkocelot7342]

Enjoy some engagement via my comment- the wrench tightening the bolts of the algorithm. Or something. Nice video.

[@ChrisTries]

Thank you and thanks for watching 😁

[@chillnagasden6190]

Channel name should be "Chries tries way too hard".

[@ChrisTries]

Ahahaha. Or, as I’m currently at a 3 - 0 ratio of successes with the challenge stuff, it should be… “Chris Does” 🤣???

[@pnastysavage5510]

Really wanna see how you get past the final room in the body of the many, I remember ranged weapons were required for this section.

[@ChrisTries]

@@pnastysavage5510 were they ;)?

[@pnastysavage5510]

@@ChrisTries Just seen it, you did it with out even trying 🤣🤣🤣

[@Unwinter]

Great video! Keep it up!

[@ChrisTries]

Thanks for watching! Have many more in the works 😉

[@RedtailArt]

Do you think you're going to do this run with the System Shock 1 remake? I mean, it'd be more challenging since you have to go out of your way decently far into the first floor just to get the wrench, but I imagine it's theoretically possible (and if it's not then you can still just do it with the pipe)

[@ChrisTries]

Hey, thanks for the sub and comment! I certainly think that can be a video I attempt, if it’s feasible. Did think about pipe only, but if there’s a WRENCH…

[@RedtailArt]

@@ChrisTries no problem man, your content is dope. I didn't know about it either until I actually played the game for myself, but yeah, you can find a wrench hidden on the medical floor as a reference to System Shock 2. I think it's a little faster than the pipe but it has less range

[@ChrisTries]

Well my friend, should that ever become an episode I shall dedicate it to you and your comment 😎!

[@RedtailArt]

@@ChrisTries I'd be truly honored

[@lolzinator44]

being allowed to use psi abilities makes this honestly not even a challenge. Adrenaline + Easy mode is too powerful for this to be an actual challenge run.

[@ChrisTries]

Totally agree. I decided after this video that all future CYB’s are going to be on high difficulty. Call it a learning curve for me. Still died a lot though.

[@Calypso694]

yes, yes you can lol. Nightdive Studios stream host Miss_Slaughter basically beat the entire game with Wrench only. Frustrating and hilarious to watch.

[@ChrisTries]

Ooh I’ll have to find that myself, see if I made any stupid errors that made my life harder.

[@Calypso694]

@@ChrisTries i think the VOD might still be on the nightdive twitch? or a clip of it perhaps? really hope SS2EE fixes or even removes the frustrating parts.

[@DietmarEugen]

There's a full wrench-only playthrough on YT by JJMerrill - 45 episodes!

[@SteinerArts]

So you beat SHODAN by simply jumping up and down in the same spot! 😂🤩

[@ChrisTries]

@@SteinerArts in a word… yes.

[@dragroch5536]

Okay but enough with the desperate humour attempts already.

[@ChrisTries]

@@dragroch5536 oh man… don’t watch my newer stuff then 🤣

[@MICKEYrenraw]

You can't kill Shodan with a Wrench?! does that apply to the Crystal Shard? i could have sworn i've killed her with the Crystal Shard :S

[@ChrisTries]

I honestly don’t know! Maybe, as it’s a more specialised melee weapon, but the wrench is a no-no.

[@lormaeris]

I'd try the laser rapier, let's keep it in reserve for my next run of SS2

[@ibrooks767]

*Promo SM* 😈

[@ChrisTries]

Uh… sure!
