I recently torrented System Shock 2. It's a hybrid rpg fps of the same mold of Bioshock, it was made in the late 90's so system requirments shouldn't be a problem.
the graphics suck ass but what do you expect and the game is so good you'll forget about them.
but the real thing I wanted ot talk about was how hard it is. like yahtzee says in alot of his reviews shooters have gotten TOO FUCKING EASY. Bioshock was a fucking breeze, you just respawned with the game still running and you just hacked away until a tough enemy was dead.
Since it's a fps/rpg hybrid it has an inventory screen, but unlike oblivion and fallout 3 when you bring up the inventory the game doesn't freeze. so when you want to repair, use an item etcetc you have to be quick about it or you will get your ass kicked by an enemy. you can respawn but firts you have to activated a chamber (spawn point) in thatr area and then it costs nanites (currency) if you're out of nanites you have to reload.
also when you want to repair an item or hack a camera or turret it costs nanites too
so yeah, the game is hard. but once you get good at it you actually get a sense of accomplishment as you can go from the inventory screen or hack a turret with snake like reflexes.
Ammo is scarce as well and you have to level up in order to use deadlier weapons.
what I'm saying is, is that why can't they make games liek this anymore? why does every current shooter have a fucking get to cover and you'll wounds will macigally heal making saving your game almost unesacary.
Killzone 2 and call of duty 4 are good games. only int he multiplayer though. the single player is just too fucking easy and wears thin fast.
and on the RPG front. Oblivion and Fallout 3 are also great games. but sometimes they got way too easy.
Are videogame companies dumbing down games to appeal to a wider audience? you're fucking right they are. I think the era of games that aren't just point click PWNED! is over. at least with shooters.
at least the multiplayer aspects are still good.
sorry if this sounds like a disjointed and much less eloquent yahtzee rant. I just needed ot get this off my chest.
