@badp It's a reward for doing the last tutorial of playing actual games against people with the easier heroes which was given to all previous guys too so all the super good people would stop playing the easy games and smashing everyone for the rifle.

Oh I was going in a different direction with that

I remember experiencing it for the first time as a teenager at like 2 in the morning in a darkened room and screaming.

FEichinger

Heheh.

LessPop_MoreFizz

1:19 AM

@badp yeah, and the extreme scarcity of ammo makes every moment in the game feel incredibly desperate.

badp

so you're always on the tiptoes from making an encounter you're poorly equipped to deal with a threat you can't locate because it's not where you think you're hearing it

LessPop_MoreFizz

(Well, at least until it breaks down hardcore on the Rickenbacher once you have the assault rifle and more ammo than you know what to do with.)

@badp YES. This is the beauty of SS2.

just, working your way down a hallway and all of a sudden MONKEY

badp

also there are so many choices you can make in your character build that it's easy to blame yourself for having a bad time

"I knew I should've taken that mission for repairing instead of guns"

the sound engine is broken but consistently and fairly so

in short it's a product of its time and no such game could make it out of qa today

FEichinger

SS2 does a great job at conveying the exact atmosphere that was intended, regardless of the "quality".

badp

All the things that make it SS2 would be stomped upon as bugs/awful mechanics/breaks immersion

@fei I really don't know how much is hardware limitation of the times and how much is deliberate

Game's old

LessPop_MoreFizz

1:24 AM

The reason the audio in SS2 holds up though is because it's so well planned and designed; the use of sound is just top notch.

user15026

IT IS SCARY AS ALL FUCK

user15026

WHY WOULD YOU EVEN

FEichinger

@badp The atmosphere was intended. The execution may well be incidental.

@AshleyNunn Because it's beautiful for what it is.

user15026

NO IT IS NOT

badp

@fei execution matters, why do you think no one game in the last few years got even close to SS2?

@badp WAS IT FROM FEAR

FEichinger

That said, two HUD-enabled DRM launchers at once is kinda overkill. But uPlay is nowhere near as bloated as GFWL, or as ridiculously backwards as Origin. It's pointless but not terrible.

@LessPop_MoreFizz @WorldEngineer I can't quite put my finger on why, but I really don't trust this women that I only hear over an intercom. She's hasn't really done anything to make me not trust her but... I don't know. Just something about her makes me suspicious.

@Wipqozn Politi is the only friend you have.

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz Them I guess I'm just a huge jerk.

user15026

@badp ....I interpreted this all wrong

badp

@AshleyNunn the game has some kind of tutorial where you're just born without screaming and must "fight" to become to life or something

user15026

@badp okay, that is much better than where my brain was tottering off to

badp

2:11 AM

"Press [IMAGE OF GREEN BUTTON BECAUSE WE ARE TOO LAZY TO MAKE THE PICTURE OF A LEFT MOUSE BUTTON] to move your legs"

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn Oh wait, you could be talking about Delacroix too.

badp

"Press [IMAGE OF GREEN BUTTON BECAUSE WE ARE TOO LAZY TO MAKE THE PICTURE OF A LEFT MOUSE BUTTON] to move your legs"

etc.

so it's either the game reacting to the crack, or the game failing to an exceedingly slow game

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz The women who wakes you up

LessPop_MoreFizz

Delacroix can't be trusted. She'll tell you to meet her in a cargo bay, but she is not in any of the cargo bays that you are exploring when she tells you to do so and it is a huge annoying thing that drives everyone who plays the game insane the first time.

badp

either way, the game's running really slowly at the lowest settings so my interest is depleted

LessPop_MoreFizz

2:12 AM

Do not worry about trying to find Delacroix in the cargo bays. You will find her much, much, much, much later in a different cargo bay.

@Wipqozn Yeah, that's Polito.

Polito is your only friend in the world.

She's the one giving you Cyber Modules to level up after all.

Why wouldn't you trust her?

Brant

That's because she's actually talking about some different cargo bays on another deck and the level designers kinda forgot that there are other cargo bays in the game

badp

Why are we spoiling SS2 to @AshleyNunn?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Brant Yeah, it is a pretty awful error.

@badp Because she will never play it anyway, so we might as well terrify her via out of context snippets and quotations.

Brant

@LessPop_MoreFizz it's probably cheaper to buy the cards directly

Oh, steam sales.

badp

the cards aren't particularly cheap, but it's still going to be cheaper than $5

@LessPop_MoreFizz steamcommunity.com/market/search?q=system+shock+2+trading+cards

$2 or so and you're done

@LessPop_MoreFizz they're rare so you have little chances of crafting them yourself

LessPop_MoreFizz

:SHODAN: foil card is going for 5 bux too.

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz it's always cheaper to go after what you want than hope you're going to get it randomly

let me tell you from somebody who's seen this work out on TF2 far too many times

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz It is working.

badp

the expected price of an unusual e.g. (about $377) is almost always higher than the value of any one unusual itself

$2.49 / 0.66% = $377

sure, there's the rare unusual that's worth $5,000 - but that's that: really damn rare
