System shock 2 - Pacifist's approach - Episode 10

[larsedvartl]

On a space station being chased by Pogo The Monkey...

[HuskyVerbatim]

I don't think you can still call yourself a pacifist if you're driving monkeys to suicide.

[RenegadeDiggle]

@HuskyVerbatim Well. He is not the one killing them. They a re just idiots.

[Philivix]

wow awesome! i love how you play! going to watch em all! thanx!

[humanvegetable]

This is one of those games I just want to play once and only once. It gives me the heeby jeebies.

[dasdasist]

you know what? i think this game is the inspiration for dead space, its almost all alike

[ShephardReborn]

@dasdasist There are few similarities, the most obvious for System shock 2 players is the Hydroponics deck mission of killing the organic matter growing on walls and affecting the air quality. Basically Dead Space used the same premise up to the point that the player's job is to find a special chemical and place it in environmental regulators, just like in System shock 2. Additionally there's the "restore the engine power mission" and also based off a similar one in that game

[TheMoi]

@dasdasist EA owns the rights to the System Shock franchise and Dead Space was called System Shock 3 when it was still early in development. It turned out a pretty good game but it's a good thing they renamed it because it is in no way a System Shock game. It feels like a spiritual successor taking a different approch than Bioshock.

[FractalBolt]

Way to fuck up the mood with that stupid "what is love" song...

[oddmanout1792]

that was hilarious!

[ale9z]

7:05 me lol'd :)

[ale9z]

why midwife cannot harm you while you're ducking?

[ShephardReborn]

@ale9z In non-modified version of System shock 2 - a.k.a "vanilla", midwifes lack an attack animation that would enable them to reach the player with their melee moves. Some unofficial patches and extensions barrow hybrids animation scripts, making this exploit (almost) obsolete.

[ale9z]

It reminds me of som types of monsters in 'Thief3' - miners, statues, kushroks and some others - who cannot damage ducking player.

But thief3 engine is different from thief1,2 and SS2 ones. So i wonder...

[JJMerrill]

"What is Love" sequence was so good. Please, you need to finish this series.

[JudgeDeadd]

The ghost scene isn't that good... Erin's voice sounds silly and not like someone in lethal danger.

[ShephardReborn]

@JudgeDeadd Aside from two or three professionals, most of the voice talents in this game are the designers themselves - complete amateurs. I'd say they did pretty well, for today's standards when you have Hollywood stars doing voice-overs for video games it may sound silly, for but for 1999, it was pretty good.

[miky1200]

lol you could'ave just grabbed a shotgun and blew them apes to pieces ^^

a lot quicker and more easy than this shit :P

[miky1200]

@miky1200

nvm. did'nt saw you're first episode till now...

[goggles1112]

I find it stupid the only way to kill monkeys is by shooting them with a weapon or using your strategy. Couldn't goggles just step on the monkey and kill it? Maybe someone should make a foot stomping mod for monkeys and worms.

[Gabezen101]

What exactly is midwife?

[ShephardReborn]

Dr. Miller, an infected scientist, kidnapped female staffers, one by one, and "augmented" them using a surgical bed. He performed illegal and cruel modifications to their bodies like mechanical prosthetic and cyber-implants. The sole purpose was for those midwifes, as he called them, to protect the annelid eggs, and hunt down remaining uninfected humans.

[Itto100]

@ShephardReborn, there's a interesting thing about the Bloome Midwife after killed: her corpse will never disapear. Sorry for my bad english, I'm brazilian.

[ShephardReborn]

I think you're right about that, thought I will check that in some spare time

That's not bad English, Poloniera agurra :-)

[GMRDUI]

Theres something particularly unsettling about the midwives themselves... their backstory just makes that feeling more powerful.

[ShephardReborn]

Don't need to be a university student to be smart,

being educated doesn't mean ... intelligent :D

and hehe ... This applies especially to some of my lecturers at uni..

Yeah, I study mechanical engineering at science university ... :-)

[bikobs]

Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.

[seangames111]

i always thought the midwifes were the scariest part of the game

[RedKingdom1]

03:40 Miller is a f***n' poet.

[dementist58888]

I love the beginning, lol. Babies must sleep. Babies must rest.

[ShephardReborn]

...." Wise is the one who does not weaken them " ... this game has some pretty good writing :D..

[dementist58888]

It does. Great for quoting with friends who know the reference. XD

[LunaHeartnet]

Not to mention down-right creepy!

[paddymoep]

Where are your weapons?

[paddymoep]

Oh i get it now.

Impossible Mode without weapons , eh?

Sounds pretty.. impossible to me : )

[ShephardReborn]

I am in Rickenbacker now, still now weapons used :-)

[dsagentutube]

Can you imagine one of those midwives delivering your baby?

[Arkadyc]

did i see that right were you dodgeing her punches or just being crouched and useing the dark engine ageanst itself agean?

[Tagappi]

these videos look much better when you have something to eat at the same time!

[goodmage1991]

what is he talking about a recycler?

[ShephardReborn]

It's an item to turn common objects to cash :-) very .. very useful thing

[SavaanahTrick]

I loved the song with the Midwife, it looked like she was dancing instead of trying to rup u up as she said she would. | D

[charodon]

Yeah Loesser's reaction to the cyborgifications is a total let-down. Not only does she not do anything, but from her tone of voice you'd think Miller stole her parking space.

[Asiancomedian]

Yeah I agree, but screams and such didn't go well with recording back then.

[xcomcmdr]

She seems to be unable to move 'cause she was attached to the bed.

[charodon]

Oh yeah, to be clear, I think the ghost scene between Bloome and Dr. Miller is awesome. But the audio log from Angela Loesser after she sees Bloome is different. She should be horrified, but she starts off talking more like Bloome had a bad haircut than the fact that half of her body's been removed.

[xcomcmdr]

ah OK. Yeah, I remember it. I totally agree with you. ;-)

[colashanacogh]

7:30 very nicely done

[wolfpl1947]

the song at 8:26 what person, band or w/e is it by?

[Asiancomedian]

Haddaway - What is love

[Kimsoderlund]

hahaha! that music sooo ruins the mood, bud gosh darn ain't it funny ^_^

[LiableMatrix]

great music add in!

[ShinigamiXV]

this takes some fucking guts.

Awesome job bro

[Eplicon]

ROFL! That Roxbury part was hilarious :D

5/5 Keep up the movies!

[BlueLightning1]

Yep! Pure genius.

Really enjoying this series, great work :)

[spudster007]

Bwahahaha! Awesome part with the monkey bobbing his head!

[PenguinDood]

I lol'd quite a bit at the what is love part. Kudos.

:D

Great videos.

[milasinovic2727]

great video!

that shitty apes scared me!

[odinpower]

You are a very inteligent guy did you know that xD

[rangree4098]

this is hilarious!

love it.

:]

[SkaterK3]

Lol, silly apes!

And, log pics are awesome to! Good idea!

Lol, you have to use an ape? Shotgun won't work this time?

I love carebarechkin. He always has good stuff to say.

OMFG!!! 7:10, DAMN, it's "A Night At The Von Braun"!!!!!

Well...you can safely say that this episode can be dedicated to the mastery of monkey cryokinesis!

Great Job. The innovation is outstanding! I can't wait to watch your next episode. :D

[leaddiet]

The addition of pictures with the logs is freakin' awesome. I didn't think you could make this series better, and you managed. Keep it up :D

[ShephardReborn]

New Episode just finishes post-processing on Youtube.. stay tuned :-)

[Shintaka9009]

Miller reminds me of Steinman from Bioshock.

[mickeymouse14]

next 1

[gggrzesiek]

nice:)

[chrocht]

(for me) the best SS2 series on yt. keep them cummin'!

[Humanfishboy]

Aw I love that song XD

And I jumped a little whenever you got shot :/

And when the Midwife showed up too *embarrassed*

[kaargen]

nice techniques!

[Chimerathon]

Lol, great stuff, as usual. Especially the way you got rid of that midwife. Death by dancing, never a good way to go :P

It's funny, when you brought that monkey all the way to the window, I figured you were gonna dodge both the midwife and the cryokinesis and do some kind of epic manuever, but nope, you killed yourself, haha!

[ShephardReborn]

Yeah.. believe me I tried to do that again, without getting killed - but I forsaken it after several failed attempts. I hope one day someone will follow similar gameplay path as me.. and succeed.

[drschizo]

I was so frustrated in the body of the many i have started to use cheat codes for getting lot of AP ammo for the riffle.... it was very hard to do and restarting again and again was pissing me off xD. Can't wait to see how u manage that, also u cannot finish the game if u don't kill the Many and Shodan... hehe

[ShephardReborn]

Well.. I am aware of that.. so "Pacifist's" approach will eventually become "Militarist's".

But I will keep this style of gameplay as long as it's possible

[darren8475]

Holy crap, good luck getting through the body of The Many. I can't imagine how you'll manage that.

[ShephardReborn]

It's possible, don't worry I'll manage that;-)

The main problem are now the 3 red cyber-assassins in Ops, and 15 "super eggs" on Rickenbacker.

[darren8475]

I forgot about them D: Aren't some of the eggs isolated from enemies though?

[ShephardReborn]

Yes they are isolated that's the main problem about it:/ I have to find a way to destroy them hopefully without using weapons

[darren8475]

I wish you luck, I doubt you're gonna need it though :)

[Tagappi]

No i forgot the 15 eggs on Rickenbacker D=

[Tagappi]

Ouch... the cryokinesis from the monkey to your head...

[ShephardReborn]

There'll be more of playing with monkeys in next episode :-)

[Tagappi]

Oh no... more cryokinesis to your head :D

[Bastiest]

Ha ha! Making fun of most scariest game in history again. :D

Yah, those monkeys managed to make me jump once. XD

[ShephardReborn]

It's getting harder and harder as I progress in game.. but there's always humor in it.

[ShephardReborn]

Thank you all for your comments :D .. I am working on episode 11 right now

[Bugga62]

I just LOVE the dancing part! Pure classic! Made me laugh quite a bit.

Hope to see more in the next episode!

[AlbedosRightHand]

Great episode man, the composition and images for logs, aswell as the dancing were all entertaining. I even learned a few interesting things.

[supercoiled]

Well done :)
