<div class="IPBDescription">ugh</div> Everyone was recommending SS2 so I finally caved in and bought it, and it is by <i>far</i> the scariest game I have ever played, however, its really buggy, whenever I do certain things, like use psi powers, the minimap, or go into a radiated area the lighting goes crazy and everything goes almost completly white, then my computer locks up, requiring a restart, whats up with that? Does anyone else get this? I can't continue to play the game like this, and if you guys can't help me I'm going to have to *gasp* register on some SS2 dedicated forums so tell me, you wouldn't want me to become a traitor would you? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Are you insane? How can the game be scary or fun when you've got 5 people running around saying "OmG I g0TS TEH AMOUR PERciNG ronDS!!!!!!!1111111111111111 I r TEH pwn omg lol!!!!11" and shooting all the zombies while you try to make progress in the story, completly alone of course.

    Thats why you should try to complete the game before you play coop. But you never played ss2 coop so I dont see why your being so negative at it.

    Anyway the ss2 multiplayer system is very complicted so it probably only work if you play with a bunch of people you already know.

    Multiplayer is kinda difficult normaly. If you are on a network things become extreemly confusing.

    And there are no extra items in multiplayer, so ammo is even tighter.

    I found co-op easier than single player, If you each specialise (I play tech, someone plays PSI) ammo and items are plentiful

    YES!!! Thanks a billion pielemuis! My quicksaves are gone though, doesn't matter, I wanted to make a psi capable character anyway (but didn't because of the bug). Other than that, anyone who still plays should take a look at <a href='http://perso.wanadoo.fr/etienne.aubert/sshock/sshock_rebirth.htm' target='_blank'>this</a>.

    Can you wait until I've finished the game first? I'll post when I'm finished, how long did it take you to beat it? I'm at deck 3 (resetting power) right now.

    Whoa, that sounds good, very good, especially when every minute kicks ****. And is just me or is the item placement just perfect? I'm playing on medium, and I conserve ammo like a crazed... Erm... Ammo saver, and I always have <i>just</i> enough, or a tiny bit more than I need, why oh why did the looking glass die?

    I got about 2 hours into it and completely ran out, I didn't know you could empty guns of ammo and drop them. When I think of the number of broken shotguns I left <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Every time i see a gun, i pick it up, unload ammo, and drop it.

    If it is better quality than my current gun, i keep it and use it. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I think it was released in 1999, but it didn't get very good sales. I saw it in the bargin bin one day, and bought it, best bargin bin purchase ever. I would have payed full price for it. Alot of magazines and websites gave it high reviews too.

    I NEVER HAVE AMMO!! SO iresort to my wrench, its my friend. Im usually a Marine with normal weapons and then later in the game get the exotic weapons so I can use the vastly underated chrystal shard. Its becasue I am an ammo hog!

    It gets scarier as you go along, just wait for the "so much sorrow" trap, you will liretally scream and run away as fast as you can.

    Link removed......Although i'm sure people won't be able to find it on any popular abandonware sites that have been mentioned in previous and still unlocked front page threads. *Ahem*
    And the fact that Liku just quoted my post......Bad Liku *Slap*
    Good luck on finding outside of a second hand shop....(Although I can't see how thats any different from downloading the game after it's already out of "print" as it were, but thats a whole diferent thread...)

    Heh, I always had my trusty wrench with me... Then laser rapier.... Then the crystal shard.

    I never did use guns against enemies (except the heavy robots). Then, when the things got hot (The Many), I had a life supply of ammo and perfect, upgraded guns... Aaah, I love it. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    And Emsee, I suggest you put that link down. Or you this whole thread will get locked. Or anything. Just go get and buy the game (Ebay, Amazon or anything)... It's just too great to miss out.

    One thing, what the hell was "Remember Citadel" doing painted on the wall with blood in the first part? Does it have something with the story later on?
