>>2761870do it, mang. i played it for the first time last year and thought it was great. i used system shock portable and the mouselook mod, but the gog thing is probably just as good (although i think some of the portraits look awful).
not having fps experience will probably help you if anything - the existence of menuing won't seem strange and the other rough edges might not stand out as much. the game's just decent in the fps department, but it's superb in atmosphere and how it rewards exploration with tidbits of story, so if you go into it expecting those things in an fps framework then you'll be good.
>>2761835well, night dive is a shit company. ss2 was a fiasco, with them using mods that had rights reserved without modder permission. threads revealed a bunch of obvious lies and finger pointing between them and gog. the best part though is their product is illegal, having modified source code without them securing the rights to said code, but that seemed to slide under the radar of the copyright owners. i find it hilarious that after everything that's happened, the only way to legally own ss2 is to have an original, physical copy.
however, i thought ss1 was supposed to have come about in a much better way, them actually working with one of the modders. worst i read was that nobody bothered to seriously playtest the final product, so the final boss fight was nearly impossible. that's surely been patched by now, though. i think it was mostly that everyone in the ss community expected them to pull some shit similar to what they did with ss2.
