EA holds the license, so current odds at SS3 ever seeing the light of day are an unprecedented 0:1000.
A bet of zero dollars pays out $1000 if SS3 gets made.
Still, very few takers.
Well, maybe the fan community will pick up the slack. They're pretty diligent with all the updated texture mods so who knows? Maybe they'll finish the story up for good. Hey look! An erotic System Shock fanfiction.
"I see you, HacKER. Your pathetic-kk meat has f-f-failed to satisfy meeeeeeee."
You are a terrible, terrible person. Nothing I have ever experienced on the internet has wounded my soul the way the phrase "An erotic System Shock fanfiction." has. Damn you.
My intent was to crush your soul, not wound it.

Great set Helloween. Best of luck with those frostbitten English nights.
You went from sounding so gleeful that the protocol droid was about to die an explosive death without even knowing you were there to sounding so aggrieved that your laser pistol was out of charge. Definitely the highlight of the set for me. Although I will say that the two assassin droids followed directly by the protocol droid was sadistically humourous as well.
Most enjoyable. I shall await the next set with anticipation... and the hope that you'll forget those spiders are down there waiting for you.

This was indeed fantastic.
And I'm surprised I'm not seeing more people seething with fury that Hello allegedly guessed the code first go.
He didn't guess it - he paused the video and looked up the solution on a FAQ. That's my guess, anyways.

Oh man I was wondering if you were going to survive the spider closet. You did not disappoint, although I could have gone with more squealing like a little girl.
Also remember when I was arguing that hacking turrets isn't really useful? Yeah. I'll be surprised if you end up killing pretty much anything with one. Although it's good to be able to disable one without using ammo.

I'm not discounting the possibility, but I don't see why Hello wouldn't just admit that. It's not like his LP style is "I'm so badass at this game, watch me do a speedrun with 1 health, wrench only"

I think that's likely what he'll wind up doing.
Not intentionally, of course. And it won't be a speedrun, per se. There will be running involved, however.
Hello, on this deck you need to hunt down three thingies in particular before you can deal with the sim units. Check your audio logs for this deck, Malick has one explaining more or less what you need to find; it'll be somewhat obvious once you see one on the move. And great set, by the way, the two assassins followed by the protocol droid was just classic
Also, you can safely ignore the fusion cannon. It's powerful, and you basically trip over ammo for it later on, but it requires a pretty big cyber module investment and the grenade launcher gets the job done just as well. That said, bumping up heavy weapons does make the grenade launcher even mightier, so if you wind up maxing that out anyway it's worth picking up just to screw around with it. The 'death' mode is aptly named, albeit slow.

Helloween, using the nav markers to mark where you've already been was a huge, huge help to me. I didn't even know you could add text to them, but even just sticking them in a visible spot to mark a dead-end spot saves a bunch of time. Mostly, I'd stick them on doors to rooms I just cleared out so I don't run around in circles. Big, big time saver.
Also, you're skipping tons of stuff that can go in the recycler. Cigarettes, plants, things you don't drink, unused ammo types, unused hypos, and so on and so forth. They don't give much individually, but at the very least it'll help make up for all the nanites spent on hacking.
Alright I finally caught up. Knowing nothing about SS2 before this, I can see how this game was pretty amazing 10 years ago, but I can't imagine playing it now. The gameplay looks very sluggish. I'm also pretty convinced I'd be fed up with it as soon as I discovered my weapons break with every shot. Why did anyone think that was a good idea for a gameplay mechanic? I guess it can promote more strategic thinking when using your weapons, but for me it would be more frustrating than fun. I guess it seems to be less of an issue later in the game, so that's good.

I stand with Hello.
Exactly. To be honest guys, if I looked it up I would have said. There is no reason I would lie about it. It's not like I'm doing a perfect no death awesomeo run now is it.

I played my game using nothing but psychic powers and exotic weapons. I finally got the worm launcher near the end of the game - powerful stuff, sure - but it seriously does break apart after six shots. I didn't put any points into repair or modify; only a lvl 2 psi power kept my worms in one piece.

I dunno man, those spiders killed you pretty perfectly!
I just used the machine and ran away like a little girl. Screw fighting those things, get me to a ladder.
Regarding the baddies on this floor...
Also, hands down the creepiest part of this level was the first time I ever played SS2. I was wandering around, turned a corner, and there was just a red ninja standing in the hallway. Not moving, not attacking, not doing anything. I walked up to it, tried to interact with it, but nothing. I never even thought of trying to smack it with a wrench. So I continue a little farther and find the recording saying that the info is hidden in the red ninjas on the floor. I immediately wheel around and turn the corner to find... nothing. The ninja was just gone. I spent the rest of the level on edge until I got them all.
I laughed at Rumbler monsters because I used tier 5 psychic powers that shielded me from all damage. They only were able to knock off two or three hit points with each attack. The biggest baddest monsters in the game couldn't touch me provided I didn't run out of psychic juice.

I'll never been able to see a rumbler again without thinking "giant rice crispy."

Spiders can't climb up walls?!
That'd be funny as hell if they could in this game.
Nah, if you book it back to the ladder they just mill about at the bottom waiting for death. Granted, they're quick bastards, so if you don't know it's coming - as our British friend aptly demonstrated - it's kind of a moot point. Even if you do, you still gotta run like crazy.
Of course, once you're there, they're nice enough to cluster around the ladder where one well-placed incendiary grenade can smooth over any misunderstandings.
Why aren't there more first person RPGs? System Shock, Deus Ex, and Bloodlines are the only ones I can think of that have compelling dialog, an inventory, and shootin'.

I've seen pictures of Shodan incarnate with midwives (who were a bit less mangled than usual).
Not great. I don't like Shodan's 80s-hair.
With all her insults, Shodan would make an ideal dominatrix.

I knew you were going to step in one pile, either coming or going. Everybody steps in the worms even if they know they're there.

SS2 was perhaps one of the greatest FPS/RPG games at that time (I'd even rate it above Deus Ex at the time I got it).
Such great memories of this game.

Oh no! Shodan's found me...

Please! No! Don't make me install the game!
I already played it too many times! Must... resist... Shodan's... will!
