I'm on a similar uphill battle with Baldur's Gate and funnily Diablo 2 - I enjoy them both a lot but it's been so long I don't feel like rushing or committing to them lol
@@flaminx0r BG I and II are my white whale. Right now I've been staring down the barrel of Thief II for almost 25 years. I may have put 10 hours into each of those over the last two decades. Planescape and Icewind Dale I crushed. Thief Gold, System Shock 2..,. no problem. I don't know what it is with me.
Played this game back in Jan of 1995, paid $50 for it at a CompUSA, and still consider it 28 years later one of the best games ever made. If you're on the fence, wait for a sale for the remake, but definitely put it on your wishlist and give it a try.
Happy birthday, Mort! Your channel has really reignited my love for gaming and got me out of a really dark place I was in about 8 months ago. So happy that your channel is blowing up and I hope you continue to thrive! May you wander in wisdom 🤝
I put my money down for this yesterday after seeing the ACG & Gman reviews, I want that Sys Shock 2 enhanced edition down the line. I was very skeptical of this due to the development hell it seems to have been through, but it seems to have made it through unscarred somehow, thankfully. Also Happy Birthday dude :)
Happy Birthday! This is one of those games that I wasn't able to play at the time due to hardware and my young age, but now I'm excited to finally see what this is about.
Happy Birthday! Great video as always! I just picked up System Shock 2 after watching this and ACG’s video. Never got to play the original game so I’m pretty excited after both of you said it was worth checking out. Now I need to let my funds replenish a little to also pick up Miasma Chronicles too lol.
Happy birthday, review man! I like how much the game looks like Prey, it's all coming full circle, huh? I haven't played the original, and aren't generally that interested in this genre but I might give it a go.
If I wasn't All In on Diablo 4, and needing to save up for Armored Core VI, AND Starfield: I'd be picking this up today for SURE. (also; Happy BIRFFDAY!)
Happy Birthday Mortim ! Glad you could play System Shock. As a backer, I already played it and finished it... Some areas are pretty different from the old game, I do not recommend the 5 hours playthrough, even for veteran, the first time you launch the game especially since some codes are placed in different sections of some levels. Fighting is also harder than in the original and the game doesn't hold your hand (for better or for worse) It's a game where you will need to go back and forth between areas you previously visited and if you've never played SS before, it can be pretty confusing. I did not really enjoy the new hacking phase, they're much longer and harder than originally, they can also be pretty confusing and a bit too psychedelic. The good ending is also pretty different and bit messy to my taste. Overall, it's still System Shock, many improved systems are pretty great and enjoyable, the new graphics are really pleasing but some elements could have been further improved. (a good tip: level 4 is called storage and you will probably cross it a few times, use it as such when your inventory is full and don't need some of those really powerful weapons with rare ammo, there is also a small elevator you can use to carry items between levels, use it mainly for ammo, money and mission items) An advice: Turn puzzle difficulty to max ! They're still pretty simple and it makes them more interesting, setting it at the lowest level is just boring !
Happy happy. tbh, I've never played the og of this game. After listening to all the accolades I'm a little embarrased but I will look forward to trying it out when it arrives on console. Good vid
Happy birthday, Mort! Your videos are a treat and I love your approach to gaming (not talking about the 100% reviews)! May you wonder in Wisdom on this beautiful day!
Happy birthday mort. I played the demo for this some time back and from the opening moments I know this game was for me. I cant wait to play it later on today
It is wild that we are living in a timeline where the Dead Space, Resident Evil 4 and System Shock remakes were launched in the same year and THEY ARE GREAT!
This looks pretty good. I love the second system shock years ago but could never get into the first one, as the graphics etc were quite dated by the time I got it in my hands. Thanks for the video.
Just checked the date I backed the project : 12/2017. 6 years later it's Christmas at last ^^ I've played SS2 multiples times, never done the 1st one, it's gonna be a treat.
I played this game to completion when it came out and it was a BITCH to complete. I was hoping this remake wasnt going to be all Fallout4 style with super good gfx and am pleased to see it still looks a little clunky, think I will wander over to Steam and buy it (oh - Happy Birthday dood)
Happy birthday Mort! Been looking forward to this game ever since I saw the trailer.
It took me about 20 years to finally beat this game.
I'm on a similar uphill battle with Baldur's Gate and funnily Diablo 2 - I enjoy them both a lot but it's been so long I don't feel like rushing or committing to them lol
lmao i bet Mort here could 100% the OG in less than a day. with Advil.

@@flaminx0r do you count beating d2 on normal as beating it. Doesnt take all that long.
@@simondaniel4028 I usually get really into it, then stop playing for a while, long enough that when I come back I might aswell start again :)
