[Komedy]

Bought Just Cause.


I'm on the fence on Age of Empires 2 HD. Not sure I should be supporting mere 50% sales. Hm...

I bought the Legacy Pack II and III bundled for £10

F5ing all day long.

Besides the obvious genre trappings (Bioshock's atmosphere, DS's horror, RPG elements), what exactly makes SS2 a classic worth playing today?

It's hard to put into words, really. It's a magic combination that hasn't really been equaled.

 

[Mugatu]

Gunpoint
Monaco
Kentucky Route Zero
Take On Helicopters
Song-Froid
Alien vs. Predator (ACM made me nostalgic for that game)
Prison Architect

 

[NinjaCatfish]

do you know if this has been optimized at all for nvidia cards yet?

I am just about done playing through the game on a 660Ti. I can play with it on, but it hits frame rate pretty bad. Everything on Ultra except TressFX, 50-60FPS. Turn on TressFX, 30-40fps.

If I could lock the game to 30fps, I might consider it, but the frame rate going up and down all the time just made me turn it off in the end.

 

[def sim]

so what are we hoping for in a little over 30 mins

New Vegas Ult. Edition, VtM:B, FFVII, and Deus Ex GOTY.

Adding cards would be nice.

 

[Edgeward]

Good thing I woke up just in time to snag SS2. And all without getting out of bed. Thank you, based ios app.

[Toki767]

I hope Dust gets a better sale. Doubt it will though.

 

[Fireblend]

By the way, Cogs is still available from my giveaway yesterday. Can't believe there's not one single user without it here.

 

[jim2point0]

It's hard to put into words, really. It's a magic combination that hasn't really been equaled.

How painful is it to play this day in age though? I find it's often hard to go back and play older games just because of how poorly they've aged.

 

[Zombie James]

No, it isn't, the GoG version only has the extras.

Hm, so do I pick up the Steam version now or wait for the GOG version to go on sale... decisions.

 

[Copons]

What is this Rogue Legacy everybody is talking about since forever in Sale threads?

I doubt everyone has it, just most aren't interested.

You should just repost the Cogs giveaway.

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Oh wow... The steam community never disappoints.

 

[SteveWinwood]

I don't like giving whiny children money.

[fantomena]

The Steam voters are horseshit. We need dicatorship!

 

[Digoman]

How long is SS2? Is it linear or is it Metroid-esque, where you explore and unlock new areas? Is it actually still scary/tense?

A good site for having an idea how long a game is is this one: http://www.howlongtobeat.com/

It says System Shock 2 is around 13-18hs, which is the same people replied and what I remember about it.

It has been some years since I last replayed SS2... I don't think it was ever that "scary" aside from a few moments (I'm trying to avoid spoilers). But it can get pretty tense if you getting into the game.

A personally find it a fantastic game, but it is a lot less forgiving then other shooters, even at the time and things like a wrong build can bite you later.

Besides the obvious genre trappings (Bioshock's atmosphere, DS's horror, RPG elements), what exactly makes SS2 a classic worth playing today?

Well, that's really it. It has a great atmosphere, good RPG elements (compared to the simplified ones in Bioshock) and so on. It's one of the games where I really felt "immersed" in the world.

Whatever you would like or not depends if you can tolerate the dated graphics and quirks of the time. It is personally one of my favorite games ever, but as a newcomer to PC gaming you also have other great games to get

27 minutes to decide!
