Max Payne was a great game, but I never would have accepted it as a sequel to Duke Nukem. In 1994, these sloped surfaces BLEW MY MIND.Īnd no, I don’t really see BioShock as System Shock 3. But judging by comments people leave here (and the fact that Thief and Deus Ex live on) I’d guess that this relationship is inverted for most people. Thief and Deus Ex are worthy titles, but they pale in comparison to System Shock 2.
My entire perception of the System Shock series is pretty warped, and I get the impression it didn’t resonate with other people the way it did for me. Other people might include Hitman or Max Payne in that category, but this is my list and these games have a sort of kinship with one another. All three were designed or produced in some way by Warren Spector. Two of those came from Looking Glass Studios. In my mind there are three games that encompass the great “thinking person’s shooters”: System Shock, Deus Ex, and Thief. I’m looking at the settings and I can’t find the option to enable trifiltering bump maps. It will give you a 25% damage bonus against all Hybrids, not just those wielding pipes.In my earlier post on art games, Juni asked, “Shamus… you don't have System Shock on your list?” If you have Research skill, be sure to investigate the first Hybrid Organ you find. With enough agility, you'll be able to deal damage to them safely using melee weapons while stepping backwards. Alternatively, you can backtrack while they charge. Your best bet is to circle-strafe around them and attack using your Wrench or another melee weapon chances are you'll take little to no damage in the process. Although their lack of a ranged attack might suggest that taking them out from a distance is preferable, their low attack speed makes them easy to kill even in close combat. Hybrids are generally slow-moving, and are limited to a melee attack, courtesy of the Lead Pipes they carry. They are fairly easy to dispatch, and are limited to melee attacks. They make up the majority of enemy resistance on MedSci Deck, and typically appear on every other level, albeit in significantly reduced numbers later into the game. Hybrids are humans who have been infected by the parasitic Annelids, and mutated into monsters in service of the Many. The Pipe Hybrid is the first enemy encountered in System Shock 2, and one of the least threatening.
