You're on a goddamn spaceship that had a limited population of crew and bots. You do still get respawns when you load into a previously cleared area, but it's not quite as ridiculous as it is by default and it doesn't ruin the immersion. The game is definitely better IMO if you disable infinite respawns with the no_respawn user.cfg line and increase the difficulty to maintain the challenge instead. The only way to play the game if you don't speedrun the game through to the end of hydroponics is as a melee-focused build, otherwise you're simply going to run out of ammo, maintenance tools, or psi hypos. Playing it with infinite respawns penalises non-melee builds because your weapons require TWO resources (maintenance tools and ammo) that are scarce by design, and for the first 30% of the game neither ammo nor maintenance tools drop from those infinite respawns. Sigh.IMO it's the infinite respawns that hurt the OG game. That nostalgia means that it will not work for new gamers.and old gamers misremember the difficulty. I.hope that Nightdive walks the line here, but I feel this game is just too much of an experimental mess to be great without nostalgia goggles. That's going to make for a better game.but not a faithful port into the modern age. System Shock II doesn't need a remake, it needs someone to fix it with enough chutzpah to burn the nostalgia out. It also needs to be someone other than Nightdive.because I love them for remaking old games. I want to see an update to this game.but it needs a lot of the removed. None of the modern convenience mods, none of the rose tinted glasses.because Bioshock was out. LilhasselhofferSo.I remember playing this on a windows xp 圆4 system. Wrench or crystal.and nothing in-between to support builds. Most of all, I remember that when I finally got to the end there were infinitely spawning monsters in the places you wanted to backtrack to.and literally everything that could deal with them was finite unless you saved a ton of points for the highest tier melee weapon.which didn't have any progress to get it. Random deaths and game overs because even paying attention you were both rewarded and penalized with little heads-up. A cargo hold map with no distinctive features, and infinitely spawning enemies that would not drop ammo for weapons. Most builds being possible.until you hit one of various walls that made builds entirely non-viable because of poor design. Access to an inventory system that was absolutely bonkers. Access to a wrench.that seemed to do nothing until it killed a thing. What I remember the most is a clunky set of mechanics that weren't well explained. So.I remember playing this on a windows xp 圆4 system.
