System Shock 2 came out years before dynamic lighting was a thing. A lot of your complaints in the lighting department simply were not possible at that time. Doom 3 introduced dynamic shadows 5 years later and required a monster of a PC to actually run.

[@CreepsMcPasta]

Time to grab my popcorn

[@biblio_nosleep]

what a trip to see you here! at least I know I’m in the right place!

[@leinadreign3510]

Played it in german. Damn, it is sooo creepy. And they went for the extra mile and translated everything in the game. Even textures like signs on the wall. Amazing!

[@pyrov1431]

sorry wife i can’t eat at the dinner table ramsker uploaded

[@nooneinparticular5256]

"Honey, dinner's ready! Come on down to the table!" "Nah."

[@rixxamazing3922]

Oh shit I almost forgot you existed. Didn’t see anything from this channel in a while, good to see it alive.

[@mikehawk8984]

16:26 I legitimately shot my coffee out of my nose all over my phone. I was *NOT* fucking prepared for that jump cut 😅😂

[@swiftie762]

Thanks for scratching that game analysis, comedic, "Pyrocynical" itch 🤗

[@filipraukar8451]

Still the most underrated KZbinr

[@gace4453]

I can't believe you're back.

[@erc0re526]

To find such a video at such length, on that game, is priceless and you'll forever be thanked for it! Love your humour

[@madcat789]

The Crowbar in Half-Life also make a bit of story telling. t strikes so quickly, so haphazardly, because Gordon is probably freaking out having to defend himself with a Crowbar.

[@Killysunt]

God damn, you held me onto a KZbin video for almost 2 hours. Great job!

[@terrabytesized]

This deserves so many more views, man. Video's beautiful and you obviously have put a ton of time and effort into it.

[@derzw3rg]

I am a simple man. I see System shock 2 - I click.

[@officedullard8722]

That video of the buff guy dancing around SystemShock2 was absolutely delightful for some reason.

[@aaron_0083]

The Death Grips reference took me off guard lmao

[@middleclassbear]

finally, ramsker upload

[@RealMailou]

What an amazing video. Criminally under known, you deserve 100x thede views.

[@zion6680]

Munch's Oddysee music. Man I thought it was Exoddus for sure, but my mind got it mixed up... Fuzzle Testing goes well with System Shock talk :D

[@xproflipscarab]

Can't focus too busy jamming to Munch's Oddysee: Munch 4 - Pattern #6 😎😎

[@Rishaan]

holy shit this video is so well made and you already know it will age like fine wine

[@Tom_Videogre]

A fantastic and well rounded take on the game and the world around it.

[@viiuan]

been sitting on watching this video since i really treasure everything that covers these games in detail! your editing and humour were great throughout and i love your analysis of it all :] did not expect the actual pyrocynical jumpscare re: co-op (also. what music did you use at 20:44?)

[@mouse6770]

She's not ominous - she's Mommy Dom🥵.

[@analogGigabyte]

I played SS2 in 1999 and it was a shock. Scary af. Deep, engaging, profound. Bioshock games are watered down compared to the original series. I got bored with Bioshocks pretty quick. Meantime, in SS2, I was shitting my pants every few minutes, also pondering how I could handle a different path on future runs.

[@fanrosefabrose9457]

Great scripting and pacing of the jokes. I loved your deep dive into the nurse's backstory

[@malloid]

I was the first person in the world to review System Shock 2, for PC Zone magazine. As it was the cover game, the editor asked me for a line of text describing it. I thought for about ten seconds and gave him: "A masterpiece unveiled." It was a masterpiece. It wasn't perfect, but it was great in all the right ways. In particular the atmosphere, and the feeling that you were rarely - if ever - safe. One thing that always bothered me, though - and I don't remember if I brought it up in my review or not - is that the psionic monkeys had ape sound effects (they sound like slightly sped-up chimps, but look like monkeys), and apes and monkeys are different (and that matters). I can't remember, but do the monkeys in System Shock 2 have tails? If they do, then they're monkeys. If they don't, then they're apes. But the ape sound effects I found to be highly unnerving. You could hear one of these deadly simians well before you saw them, and that was scary. PS. Deus Ex is pronounced "Day-uSS Ecks", not "deuce ex".

[@thomasramsay8212]

I keep rewatching this, and everytime I check back the views are still in the thousands? This should very much be in the millions.

[@ethancrowe280]

My guy is back

[@aiodensghost8645]

Yo, yo ,yo... PLEASE tell me you plan to play System Shock remake? If you don't, I understand

[@basicallyjovani6462]

Half way through the video. I'm glad I clicked, it's awesome

[@bgth3cks232]

Damn dude this video is fucking goated, great job!

[@nope5994]

Thank you for the upload pyro

[@ants3991]

Holy crap i just realized this video only has around 200 views, this is a crime. The amount of editing and comedy in this is awesome you deserve way more my man.

[@CelAbration]

The algorithm summoned this after my rabbit hole of G-man lore (childhood games am i right) ps: wtf youtube, you should've been in my feed ages ago. Great stuff!😂

[@ZylonBane]

This man is what happens when you build your vocabulary around guessing what words mean.

[@Freckles.]

new ramsker i watch

[@lukekowansky]

yooooooooo when ramsker has a better upload schedule than pyro

[@scootyman3800]

Damn pyro needs to pay this guy more

[@Miggggy]

Unironically your last video was among us unbelievable

[@jeremyabbott4537]

is it weird I could see the Cyborg Midwife and Revenant from Doom being a power couple?

[@juanignaciocorreabraun6425]

Wake up babe, new ramsker finally dropped :)

[@qee4617]

The wrench is just a reskin from Thief's Blackjack

[@shroomsel8803]

Isn't it the sword?

[@AurraKo]

[@mouse6770]

I played it at a kids...I was born in 97- it this the day I realize...I'm old??

[@CHRONUSGD]

HOLY FUCK, RAMSKER UPLOAD.

[@OfficialDTHQDTC]

access granted.

[@TheTruePlague]

1:05:18 i think you overestimate how strong the recoil is in a launcher

[@rowanmilestaco4797]

10 minute Pyrocynical video: I sleep 2 Hour Ramsker video: REAL SHIT!?

[@Arexion5293]

I'm meanwhile the weird type that was introduced to System Shock 2 through a Screwattack top 10 video and a Let's Play. I've never played Bioshock even to this day. My video game habits are strange.

[@quirinprediger3278]

Damn I wasn’t aware of a German version of shodan its scary af

[@MICKEYrenraw]

System shock 2 enemy design, i feel is still unmatched to this day, of all the games that have come since, featuring the "once human corrupted crew" they all feel bland and samey by comparison, i'm looking at you Dead Space and Prey, great games, but boring (visual) enemy design also SS2 coop, i played a few times with a friend, he'd frequently be turned into a crate during level transition, i crate i could loot :D also also the lack of SS3 is truly a crying shame, tho after the state of the pseudo ultima sequel, maybe it's for the best

[@SoilentGr33n]

1:54:26 that's a cool riff.

[@Huemnn]

Funny alien story

[@shodan2002]

Never played ? I played it it was amazing finished ss1 and 2 multiple times

[@ghostmoths_]

oh banger

[@HighFlyingOwlOfMinerva]

Unrelated but who made your profile pic? Genuinely one of the coolest designs I've ever seen.

[@dusanvukovic9950]

Im fucking done i came back a day later how does this video have only 1 k viwers? Big love from Serbia keep it up youll make it big someday.

[@arkgaharandan5881]

cyber modules are not money neither are nanites, its like star trek, there is no inflation better replication technology is used in med sci for experiments, cheaper in engineering and in recreations people keep making expensive stuff so the cost is higher especially since they were frozen for a long time to ravel far away in space, its not like they can order more resources from amazon. Then you got the hacked reality theme that shodan is doing so there is that. Cyber module price to upgrade has to go up since each one is more complex wiring in your cybernetics.

[@aliify]

good video m9

[@rehfeuge]

Subscribed because sam n max

[@DubiousFIN]

451 is peak code

[@fuzzy9649]

YEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@Chambooey]

Ramsker

[@SamLabbato]

yeah, when me and my friends played system shock 2, we had to download logmein hamachi and host a server. that works pretty well for anyone wanting to play multiplayer. the tabbing out is still an issue though LUL

[@Ramsker]

When the remaster is out hopefully it'll be all refined

[@indybingyi]

Man that thumbnail is fucking cursed

[@Mirinovic]

I think that reviving nanit coast is in higer diffculty right?

[@arkgaharandan5881]

bioshock infinite combat sucks because its a numbers game, early enemies die with 2-3 hits and in the later areas you headshot them 10 times and numbers pop out of their heads, system shock 2 weapon animations might be extremely primitive but that was never the focus of the game, they werent trying to make a shooter...oh and of course enemies are not giant bulletsponges and if they get to that point, you can always use the right ammo, meanwhile in infinite, bulletsponge galore.

[@WMan37]

bro dogged on the graphics of a game that looks absolutely incredible for something that came out a year before the Playstation 2 did 💀 But I instantly put aside how I felt about this because 3:27 absolutely sent me

[@gilliusthunderhead2185]

These diamonds they shining. All this ice got me changing my climate.

[@GeekMan237]

Whats the song that starts here? 53:50?

[@GeekMan237]

Never-mind I found it, Scarlet forest from the deltarune soundtrack great video btw!

[@qee4617]

9:50 Try changing the renderer

[@DRGNLRD]

I really like what you do, but to be honest, I’d be surprised if you make another vid after this.

[@alt0248]

Imma say it, Bioshock's combat is pretty good. That's it though.

[@P2Weenie]

Im here only because petscop 2 is still in development

[@CeschiArt]

Everyone knows SS2 stole from "the sopranos" PS2 game the AI going rouge in space mechanic

[@arkgaharandan5881]

also play system shock infinite mod its great.

[@ratmations8306]

ok

[@grawlixmclaren6427]

Fort night

[@lolipopstix9763]

why do I feel like ramskers videos are more better than pyrocynicals. they both good but damn......I feel more with ramskers video essays.

[@DarthKain0]

"Nah. :)"

[@Tommymoises10]

Pyrocynical but good

[@LtLeisureforce]

[@BrainInACat]

[@samusaran3468]

[@pblreza]

But I did play this masterpiece

[@arkgaharandan5881]

speaking of 451, yeah guardians of the galaxy the game has it in the beginning. Because at least one of these people might have worked on a deus ex...game sucks though.

[@joshybunny893]

Imagine selling to bloody tencent... Of all people. System shock 3 is dead.

[@Miggggy]

make discord >:(

[@maximus4765]

Liking infinite is a symptom of critical bad taste, unless you pretend it's a different game entirely and play on normal so you don't have to get those stupid upgrades by scrounging every single container in existence and never taking enough damage or missed attacks to need to purchase even a single round of ammunition or health.

[@VValkyr]

Sweet jesus christ, is that why you vanished for like 15 years?

[@el-massy]

First

[@yaogwai]

Sorry but new games will always be better than old games objectively

[@erdnussbier4260]

lmao
