Hmmm it's just a bit less scary. There's an overall sense of dread and paranoia whenever you enter a new area. And the monsters are pretty fucking creepy. I found an area that was totally dark except for my flashlight and I had to leave because I was so on edge.

This is System Shock 3.
This is amazing,
Incredible.
I love everything about this game.

Yeah sounds like a glitch. I first let the mimic in the load chamber and then I had a change of heart.
Not really scary inherently, there is a creepy feeling but that's about it. However, the game has a TON of jump scares which is accompanied by loud "scary" music.
I want to make a declaration like this, but it's too early. Few more hours should convince me.
If it's like how it was in the demo then it's definitely not blown out of proportions. Playing something like Destiny and then playing this immediately or vice versa will make you realise just how severe the input lag is in this game (again if it is similar to the demo, as that's my only experience).
Infact playing on PS4 and then playing the same on Xbox will make you notice the same.
Yes, it is. I'm in disbelief how well they nailed it.

Recycler and Fabricator guide:

I've talked to a few people who've had some trouble (it can be overwhelming with everything else going on!) so I thew together a guide to help. Let me know if you like, duders.
ok HD is up it appears!
Need to clear your inventory in a hurry? Dump your bags of junk on the floor and drop a Recycler Change on the floor like a animal you piece of shit
Different encounter, later from that.
Hmm...demo unsold me entirely. But now I'm intrigued again. Keep talking....

Yes! I started playing this when I woke up this morning, and 6.5 hours later I can safely say this game is everything I wanted for a new System Shock game.

He's mind controlled by the Telepath.
So it's a good idea to stay away or knock out any humans mind controlled by the Telepath

So I had my first introduction with
Nightmare on the Bridge. Managed to elude him, thankfully. Interested to see how it will go the next few times I encounter him.

Dunno if this has been pointed out, but Yu shakes their foot to the beat of the intro song in the helicopter. Nice little detail.
Anyone know where the Life Support Security keycard is, I can't find it, finished everything else in the area.
I saw
for a second and when I came back to the lobby
I saw
it in the arboretum
it was freaking standing in front of the lift with it's back turned. I killed it with combat focus and q beam

So there was no day 1 patch? Any word from devs on fixing or even acknowledging it?

I played the demo and the input lag turned me off, after an hour I put down the controller. But damn, after watching this on Twitch for like 6 hours made me realize how good this is, stopped watching because I don't want to get spoiled. If the story delivers I can see it being an instant classic. Please Arkane, fix the input lag on PS4.
Pc it is.

Curious, if you drop items anywhere, will those items always be there later? As in they never despawn?
All the mess I've made is permanent.

It's fixed
I keep seeing people having issue with the computer screens, where you want to press z to zoom in and then use the mouse as a cursor.. Even knowing about this I would often forget for a second and up shooting the screen lol...
I strongly suggest you go to the options and under gameplay there is a subcategory for interactive screens..
it lets you set it to autozoom for various screens, auto-examine keypads is on by default, while everything else is turned off.. I added workstations and security stations, since those are the ones where I feel zoom is most effective (as in there are multiple things to select, etc.) The way it works is when you walk up to one and press f, it will automatically zoom in and you can use the mouse right away without having to worry about pressing an additional button..
it's pretty helpful

The graphics remind me of the 360/PS3 gen for some reason. Granted I'm not bashing on it, the
. I like the style, but I got stuck.
so far it's good, but a little rough at times
I got stuck in an awful loop and nothing made sense. I wonder if QA ever got perma stuck somewhere?
Edit: ok, I got unstuck. This isn't so bad. I just wish they'd gone into more detail on that chopper. No reflection at all.
helicopter in the glass looks like it has last gen graphics
i fell down to the helipad and had no idea how to get back upstairs.

I think this game has my favorite crafting in any game since The Last of Us. Needing to manually interact with the in-game machines and how you just can recycle junk with ease turns boring crafting into something that feels logical and tangible here
Are audio levels weird for others (PS4 Pro)? Like effects and music are so loud, but voices are so damn quiet, even with music and effects turned way down. Anytime (not really a spoiler)
talks to me, I can barely hear it. I had to turn captions on. I have a 5.1 surround system and it's really annoying.

That's basically the whole point of it, to shoot screens and override buttons.

I thought the
helicopter ride sequence at the beginning, looking out of window, the city reminded me of a last gen game.

Not to mention it's I Can''t Believe It's Not System Shock 3™.
15 or so hours in now and I've just been exploring, found some crazy encounters.
Hard mode is no joke but I still find myself doing okay because of super tight inventory and resource management. I've also fallen in love with crafting in this game, it's tangible and serves a purpose, they don't gimp it either since you can basically get enough material to spam build neuromods, ammo, etc but the game keeps you on your toes, resources are limited but you can always recycle junk into something more useful and to get past hurdles.
Also inventory management is an important thing here for maximizing recyclables, ammo, health packs, suit condition, etc.

Yep, have the same issue. It's a bit of a bummer.
Yeah, it has that kind of Source Engine look like Dishonored did, but the colors are a little more saturated and cartoon-y. The real meat comes in the interactivity and how many simultaneous effects can occur on screen at once.
