question about ss2

**LiquidCrash** · 07-01-2007, 07:29 PM

Never played it before, but I thoroughly enjoyed Deus Ex. Are there any mods I should download before I start the game?

**Kamakazie** · 07-01-2007, 09:25 PM

No. On your first playthrough don't install any mods. Be sure to install the official patch though!

also, the forums at www.ttlg.com will help you get the game running if you encounter any problems.

Thanks.

Just finished it. Great game, but I still think Deus Ex beats it (of course, I played Deus Ex when it first came out, so I guess I'm somewhat biased..). The enviroments and sound effects are fricking awesome though. Even thought it's 8 years old it's still very much believable.

Deus Ex is fantastic, but I prefer SS2. The horror theme and complete isolation just clicks more in my mind, and I just prefer the story and characters. Glad you finished it though and glad you liked it

What class did you pick?

**LiquidCrash** · 07-05-2007, 03:00 AM

Navy. I've never been TOO big on games that take place in space... Which I guess is the reason it took me so long to play it, and why I like Deus Ex better. Deus Ex also felt a lot more open ended... Everytime I play Deus Ex I find something new. I don't think it'll be the case with this game... but we will see the next time I get the urge to replay it.

**Kamakazie** · 07-05-2007, 03:17 AM

I prefer the whole being in space, alone, being hunted by everything. And I really love the way the storyline is presented in SS2. You're right about Deus Ex being more open, though you can definitely play through SS2 a few times and have a new experience each time, its still not as major as Deus Ex' offerings... and there's only one ending in SS2. imo the three majorly different things you can do with SS2 is be a hacker, be an all-out weapons person, or learn psi powers and don't use any weapons at all.

Warren Specter is awesome, he needs to hurry up and make his new game.

I've played System Shock 2 through a few times and, ignoring trying out new abilities, I have found things I missed the first time around, like new log entries or hidden stashes.

**GetCarter** · 07-05-2007, 09:33 PM

I always get too freaked out to continue. The first time, I couldn't get past some automated turrets in some hangar, and when I went back some monkeys started shooting beams at me from their exposed brains and hitting me with a pipe. Then, the second time around, I got freaked out trying to destroy all these alien eggs on the hydroponics level. Stupid horror games.

Probaly the freakiest area for me was the recreational floor. It was put together well... I almost pooped in my pants when I walked into the garden area... something about it just made me scared. Another thing I liked about that floor was going into all the rooms, this one room had a guy who hung himself... looked really cool. Also, the ghost that shot himself in the head.. really really nice there... It wasn't that scary, just cool how they did it...

**Kamakazie** · 07-06-2007, 12:31 AM

The atmosphere is freaky as hell... just hearing the cyborg midwives used to give me chills.

Was this the game where you walk past some humans who are inside alienized cocoons, and when you walk past them they say "Kill me," really eery-like? I had to go through so many boxers while playing this game.

I think that was Duke Nukem 3d... you never have direct contact with any human in SS2.

**LiquidCrash** · 07-06-2007, 05:09 AM

Yeah, the hybrids do say "kill me", and something else that I forget... But none of them are in cacoons.
