System Shock® 2 (1999)

This was the final strike that made me GoG user. Best PC game ever made. GoG version is MUCH easier to install than original (which I have as well). Just remember to get SS2Tools v 5.0, shtup beta 6 and rebirth v2. These really make a difference in game graphics. Also, this game is one of the best Co-op games as well (but play it once through alone first).

I don't understand people's hang up on graphics. It's tragic that people's ability to enjoy a game is dictated by the visual stimulation offered. This game has a fantastic soundtrack, great voice acting, a great storyline, and the overall mood of the game is exactly what it should be. If you're a younger gamer who grew up in a world of better graphics, don't let the aged look of the game deter you from experiencing one of the very greatest examples of art in the video game world.

System Shock 2 is 14 years old, yet it's still scary, especially on impossible difficulty that on I just finished the game, the difficulty where even the tiniest breeze was able to render my NAVY character to KIA. But this game is the prime example that if the storytelling and the voice over are great, it's really matter what graphics the game has, regardless I used the System Shock 2 Rebirth mods to make the graphics better. A horror is not horror because of the violence, the gore and endless brutality as many zombie lover believe these days, but the unexpected events and twists in the storyline, the noises and the atmospheric dark presentation is the key to scare someone to hell. System Shock 2 was one of the very-very few games, if not the only one that was capable to really scare me, and after 14 years, it is still capable to do that. This game is like a fine wine; it gets better with the ages. This is the reason why System Shock 2 is the best sci-fi horror game of all time.

I loved the game while I was playing it - it's probably what one could call a hardcore version of Bioshock. Great setting and atmosphere, great story, with all of the RPG left in it. I however called it quits when the spiders came out. NOPE. It's a creepy game and I hope to finish it this time.

Works great on my Windows 8 machine. I kicked the resolution up to the game to the 2560*1600 of my desktop and it runs great and looks good considering its age. The games graphics, while definitely a product of its day, are certainly good enough. This game is more about the story, gameplay and environment, which is amazing. Within the first 10 minutes, you will forget that the graphics are from 1999. I've encountered no real graphical or gameplay issues, definitely worth 10 bucks over and over again.
