Oxhorn Plays System Shock - Scotch & Smoke Rings Episode 738

[@Mr2110Sandman]

You can easily tell that games like the Dead Space trilogy and The Callisto Protocol were immensely inspired by the original System Shock .These games took so many ideas from System Shock and I am sure the developers played it too . System Shock truly was a pioneer for sci-fi horror games of this kind .

That shodan has such a trusting and honest voice. ....I am sure nothing bad could happen

[@PCGamingGoodies]

This game is fairly old-school. There are no quest logs and no quest markers, so you have to remember all the tasks yourself. There is no stash box, and the only way to "stash" something is to drop it on the floor. Some guns are huge and you can't possibly carry all of them around. To keep them all, you need to leave them on the floor somewhere (preferably near an elevator) and mark the location on your map so you don't forget. The cargo lift is useless because it's only 3-by-3, and some guns and items are 4 to 5 wide. The most old-school mechanic is that you have to manually unload a gun to get the ammo inside, if you already have that gun and just want to loot the ammo. And lastly, the pixelated textures are a homage to the original game.

They really should have cleaned up some of the old school mechanics, I get it's authenticity but some of it is just monotonous bad game design

Oxhorn is actually so badass playing video games while smoking a cigar like, crazy

[@Duderonamus]

The frame rate seemed to be dipping whenever Ox moved quickly... I assume that was only due to the snow/internet and not the Ultra graphics settings...

[@WhateverMan35]

From what I've read on the Steam forums, shadow quality is the main culprit here.

[@non-binary-fox]

Nah he's moving too fast that the camera can't comprehend his movements 😂

[@Pauzix]

Don't give up on your training Ox, I believe in you!

[@mattcorby]

Its not as atmospheric as the old one. I remember the first time I played it back in the day, those monkeys (which don't seem to be in this one) were the first monster you meet, the flickering lights, practically pitch black.. Scary stuff, trust me. Edit: I might be remembering System Shock 2 though

[@PCGamingGoodies]

Monkeys are indeed from System Shock 2. By the way, ""System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition" is also in the works. Those who preordered the SS1 remake will get it free.

[@tetchedink7980]

​@@PCGamingGoodies I thought system shock 2 remake was cancelled?

[@PCGamingGoodies]

@@tetchedink7980 It's in development. You can see its trailer from 7 months ago at Nightdive's KZbin channel.

[@XSilver_WaterX]

I wonder if Ox uses Steam's notepad in the overlay, Shift + Tab? Because this will massively help Oxhorn with games he forgotten the mechanics about or tricks and unique's he's looking for.

[@harrymu148]

ooo that's an interesting feature! I learned something today

[@Opus_Fluke]

Hey, Ox, thinking about looking into Fallout London? It's practically a whole game and it's *dripping* in lore about the Resource Wars. Mind The Gap...

[@wm1pyro]

The smoke alarm chirp is incredible annoying

[@Timberjackk]

For real. I kept thinking it was mine

[@Natters01]

I didn’t think you actually smoked, I always thought that was part of your character on your pfp.

[@madmaryjo]

Please play more of this game Please Please please please please please 😢😢

[@mathiasvofrey9240]

guilty of needing arrest

[@lutherburgsvik6849]

?

[@matninja123]

For someone who plays fallout, he sure is blind lol.

[@harrymu148]

he is in a hurry sometimes. To be honest though fallout doesn't really put things around bodies so it seems his habit of looting bodies and then leaving right after works in fallout but not here.

[@harrymu148]

recycle your scrapppppppp aaaaaaaaaaaa
