Ahaha, you described my strongest lasting memory of System Shock 2 perfectly... huddled in a corner stressing out after having just encountered a psychic monkey and still able to hear another one nearby. That moment is still vivid in my mind two decades later.

Interesting retrospective, I've often heard this game referenced in passing as being the one that started survival horror space station type games, but I haven't until now seen it shown/described in detail. Very interesting how many trends this game set, and how a lot of them were just the developer trying to get away from traditional RPG mechanics. Great video Razor.

I always loved panting and sweating as I ran through Shodan's corridors. Those are some tight corridors too. Deus Ex perfected the formula created by the first System Shock, but System Shock 2 came pretty close. I'm suspicious of System Shock 3, Warren Spector has become extremely jaded in his old age, which doesn't bode well for the game.

The soundtrack has plenty of great and memorable creepy dirges in its soundtrack to overcome any issues one may have with the techno stuff for those that find it a bother. Though me personally I think even those tracks are great, on their own and how they're used in-game. You start off with no music, then encounter your first parasitized cybernetic zombie space crew and the beat is pumping. Shit's hit the fan and now it's time to wrench some motherfuckers in the face. Then as your quest prolongs and more and more nasty things are discovered and plot twists unfold the music gradually takes on a more sinister tone as you progress further and further into the bowels of the ship. So yeah I'm a fan alright

@@Sad_Elf The only issue I think was that the med-sci area at the start had that fantastic, but badly chosen track kick in with really hyper enthusiasm. Literally, first mutant... suddenly you're tripping balls. But I think when viewed as a whole, the soundtrack really works out. At the start, it's much more hyperactive. Then you get deeper into the game, into more dangerous places, and you hear this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hofRgaygrdCsg7c And you don't know if you're about to be attacked by a cyborg ninja or an 80s slasher villain.

System Shock 2 is my favorite of the two, but I also love the original System Shock and have completed both games multiple times. The original is in a weird place, being part FPS, part-point-and-click Adventure, part Survival-Horror, part RPG, part-Metroidvania Action-Adventure, and having far more mechanics and features than its immediate contemporary Doom, which was firmly entrenched in the arcade-esque maze shooter (itself a sadly missed genre of first-person game in the modern era). The latter game is interesting, as it has actual stat building, which very few other games even of the modern FPS-RPG have. But it likewise is a strange amalgamation of the Survival-Horror, FPS, point-and-click Adventure, RPG, and Metroidvania Action-Adventure. It's sad to see that even 20 years later, the Dark Engine that powers System Shock 2 provides better-realized simulation of sound propagation than most modern FPS games. I'm waiting with baited breath for NightDive's remake of the first game, and for Otherside Entertainment and Warren Specter to start work on System Shock 3.

Back when System Shock came I was a mere peasant child who spend every minute of my free time playing my SNES. Final Fantasy 3 (U.S.) blew my mind, most especially the mid-game twist where an apocalyptic event changes the entire world map. Since internet wasn't around you were able to enjoy these kind of epic twists without having the spoiled, and that was one of the greatest in a game full of incredible moments. Back then I read a lot of gaming magazines, and I remember going over the PC section in awe of the graphical detail in those games. System Shock would have blown my mind beyond what I could have imagined and probably scared the shit right outta me and directly into my pants. Those excellent PC graphics are what actually help ignite my love for a game called Flashback, a game that I felt looked very much like a lot of those PC games I had seen pictures of! It had legit cutscenes! People had a realistic look and the sci-fi setting and story all made me feel like I was playing a cutting edge game that could have been from the future! It worked out well because my impatient young self wouldn't likely had understood and appreciated System Shock. I would have given it an IGN review-style score of 3/10: IDGAF about space lul.

Prey (2017) is a fantastic System Shock spiritual successor. Absolutely nothing comes close to SS2 like Prey does. There's nothing wrong with it, it's great. Obviously, not God tier level like SS2, but definitely fantastic. Absolutely must play for any System Shock fan. Including the great DLC which really brings a new life to the game! Prey (2006) is a fun romp, a linear shooter in the wake of the mid 2000s, and not a bad game, but nothing really superb. I'd suggest it to those who liked Doom 3 and Quake 4 that came around that time before Prey to get that specific mid 2000s dark horror-ish SF FPS. All three share a similar visual and gameplay style thanks to the id tech 4. All three require similar (and easy) editing of config files to run them on modern widescreen resolutions. I'm actually playing all three now, and it's a fun throwback. Immersive sims however, they're not. Doom 3 comes closest thanks to the PDAs and a bit more exploration, but it's still pretty linear. Out of those 3, Doom 3 is my favorite.

I learned that I can dip down, lean around corners, and use cover like I can in real life. Also having it so the protagonist is just learning to use his new modded out body while I am trying to figure out the controls is good for the story, ha. I never actually played System Shock 2.

If it wasn't for the System Stock series, I would have never been into the Bioshock and Dead Space series. Even though I never played System Stock 1 and 2 because I'm console gamer and not a PC gamer. Still at the end of the day, I tip my hat, bow down and thank the System Stock for everything that they have done in regards of the Bioshock and Dead Space series. BTW, I respect your opinions on the Bioshock series either way. Love the video! Keep up the great work, dude!

System shock 2 was one of my favourite games, very immersive and creepy atmosphere. Remember bidding for an original boxed copy with manual on eBay! Shodan revelation was terrifying. Never played SS1 as it was a dos install, but it's been released on steam ... Bioshock was pretty ok but went all assassins creed afterwards.

So, would games like the STALKER series fall into the same play-style as the original System Shock? It has similar elements of not-game-like, in that you don't have an XP bar, but you do improve your character over time with equipment improvements and stuffing anomalous artifacts up your Rad-hole.

I don't know what my favorite game of all time is, but the first System Shock is very frequently one of my top answers when asked. It's definitely my favorite RPG at any rate. The game was so goddamn ahead of its time modern games are still being praised for features it pioneered 25 years ago and it did it without a bunch of time wasting skill point/stat point bullshit. And for the record I didn't play the game until 2009 and even 15 years old that game hooked me the moment I got over the initial control hump no questions asked. It's a masterpiece plain and simple.

I bought system shock 2 in a bargain bin box years ago. I didn't even own a computer back then. I bought it because i liked the art on the box and it looked like a cool game. I didn't know it would be such an amazing game to play when i bought it. I still have the box and everything that was inside intact and play the game through regularly. Same with most looking glass games really.
