SYSTEM SHOCK 2

>This has to be the most disappointing final boss battle in a video game ever
Nah

Didn't they run out of time/money or something? The section of the game after you leave the first ship is where it all goes downhill.

Yup. The ending that was made was different than the one that was written, and it was too late to go back to redo it so they had to work with what was there. Some things also got cut due to tech limitations like a section on the outside of the ships.

>that ending cutscene
>bad
Maybe if you have no sense of humor. Anyway the excuse I heard for it was that the fmv guys fucked up the video and then LGS/Irrational didn't have enough money to commission another.

I understand that you're memeing but you can literally kill her instantly. Personally I just fired my assault rifle on auto through her shields, she never had a chance. I don't think they really thought it through.

Sounds like the most plausible scenario.

It's the journey that matters. Wrench Hybrids on max difficulty are probably harder than shodan.

that was the scenario. How else do you think to explain NAH?

The cutscene was great. Well, maybe the "Nah" wasn't, but seeing Shodan's corrupted image expand and distort was frightening.

That's just because you wouldn't want to waste any valuable ammunition on them and trying to kill anything with the wrench is fucking terrible, especially on the harder difficulties when you literally have like 15 HP

Tommy. What's the matter, lover?

Don't you like my... new look?

Hehehehehe...
