    Thank you for your review. If feels like everyone else was praising the game without sharing any of the drawbacks. Given what you shared, I don't feel like this is for me.

    Is there a way to NOT trade shots SOME of the time, using ‘leaning out of cover’? Does leaning out of cover actually reduce incoming damage or does it contribute to stealth (get the 1st shot at the enemy/get the jump on them)?

    Absolutely will be picking it up. As a gamer who fondly remembers the early pioneering games of the genre like System Shock, Syndicate/Syndicate Wars, Deus Ex etc I had to grab this. Scores seem to average in the mid seventies for PC/PS consoles and mid eighties for the Xbox machines (hmmmm, it screams ‘buy me buy me’ doesn’t it 🙄🫣) anyway, I pre-ordered even though I suspect it;ll be in the cheap bucket soon enough as I salute Night Dive for making this game.

    System Shock is amazing. Get it on PC because it is better to play this particular game with keyboard and mouse due to inventory. Not surprised that the reviewer didn’t care for it on console.

      Hover over the item, press triangle to open the menu, then scroll down to the ‘drop’ option and press X. This menu is also how you vaporise junk items. Each floor also has a sort of dumb waiter type storage box that can move between the floors, but it doesn’t have much space

    Just because something inspired what came after it, doesn't mean it's better or even of the same quality. Those later titles had their chance to improve on the flaws of the inspiration........... outdated flaws that like to be covered up by nostalgia.

    I'm fortunate enough to own both PS5 and XSX and I'm not at home and didn't realise this had released. So I use my apps - PS app says "PS5 version announced" but isn't available, Xbox app says "X|S version downloading now"
    Do you think the PS app is wrong because the most flashy versions of System Shock are really X1X and PS4 Pro? And the PS app is missing this and being dimwitted about its presentation of the game?

    It’s not true that it is a perfect frame rate, there are minor fluctuations on both PS5 and Series. X but holds to 60 mostly on both. It does help to be totally honest as it is not a flawless frame-rate like you are making out.
    Digital foundry has already proved this too.
    It is such a shame about the brain dead AI in enemy encounters though as this is something that really should have been improved upon over the original.
    Hopefully they take criticism on board for System Shock 2.
    I am still glad this was remade in a mostly good way for console and you can use keyboard and mouse on Series X as well. Not sure about PS5?.
    When I look at value for money between this and Hellblade 2 for those not on Xbox Gamepass though this is an easy victory offering around 20 hrs plus it is actually a real game and not a tech demo/ walking sim.

    Proposal:
    “immersive sim” is a meaningless genre descriptor. it means nothing. it means ‘a game that has systems in its world but is in almost every case a mediocre first person shooter.’ most of them simply aren’t well-designed games, although they’re all full of flavor text and voice recordings, if that’s what does it for you.

    • @IlNamelessKinglI
      @IlNamelessKinglI 2 месяца назад +1

      I agree. I loved all the Bioshocks, Prey 2017, the Dishonored series and I will buy this remake, but its undeniable the shooting part of all these games is luckluster. Imo the only one doing the combat well is the original Bioshock and Bioshock 2. I play from consoles and the controls are good, no input lag, the plasmids-weapons combo are fun to use, the guns are fun to use and sound good and there are many, many ways to kill your enemies, you can go the very optimal way of dealing with splicer which is usually boring or you can be very creative about it and the game wont punish you for it either. Only the pistol and a couple of Plasmids in Bioshock1 sucked imo, everything else was viable and fun to use. In lets say Prey2017, the only good gun was the shotgun, every other gun wasnt as good or as fun to use, if you used somenthing else other than the shotgun, it was out of necessity to save ammo for it. Like, using it on a mimic was a waste so you wrenched them to death or shot them with the shitty pistol. The other best weapon was the stun gun used to deal with humans for a no kills run and enemies weak to electricity. Bioshock also felt way less clunky and more polished. In prey you will literally die to furniture, and no, im not talking about the mimics, you literally jump on a shelf and randomly die cuz you get squashed by them somehow, or you get sent out of bounds 😂
      AI in these games also usually doesnt have any intresting quirks, in Bioshock they go after healing stations if they are about to die, they fake being dead to ambush you, they go in the water if they catched fire, they kamikaze with grenades...Enemies in the games I mentioned just stand there in the open or rush you...

    • @YoRHaE8
      @YoRHaE8 Месяц назад

      Idk, I don't think Dishonored can be called a shooter in the first place, so it's not meant to be the best part of the game anyway. Well, idk about 1, I've only played Dishonored 2 and loved it.

    • @bizmonkey007
      @bizmonkey007 Месяц назад

      The point, and fun, of an immersive sim isn’t really about the shooting but the strategizing, exploring, and survival aspects. These are often hard games that demand you to think if you want to succeed and survive. It would be cool to have an immersive sim with top-tier shooting mechanics but it isn’t what these games are designed with in mind.

      And that’s actually a good thing. In my experience people who praise games in their reviews leave out important information that can make or break a game for you. That’s why it’s better to have a reviewer like this who gives you the positives but gives you down to earth reasons as to why they were turned off from the game. I’m tired of wasting my money because RUclipsrs wanna kiss the ass of certain franchises or games.

    I can't defend this. This looks like Doom 3 if they turned the lights up. OMG what a travesty and insult to the art of game design being more than putting the game into a relatively modern 3D engine. There is no artistic direction in this visual cluster of ducks I'm seeing. Nightdive need to offer everyone a refund for this and start again with the original director of the game in charge and if he was, he should be ashamed!
