It's obvious from the game messages that "destroy cameras security level go down" but check out how much is described in the original System Shock manual. (they were good toilet reading material)Īn example of something I would like explained better is the Security Level mechanic. A lot of people talk up how much more difficult games used to be and how they didn't hand-hold the player like today, forgetting that these things shipped with massively detailed instruction books that explained a lot of what the game itself didn't. This is especially important for a "hardcore" retro game like System Shock. I'm going to somewhat disagree with the last two comments and say including the manual absolutely is necessary to fully enjoy the experience, unless they put heavy tutorial segments into the game itself like most modern games. There is a single page of actual control information for the player and some pages are listing items and weapons in the game but thats like 5% of the whole content.ĭefinitively not required to play the game. You should see the manal though - it is a goodie!Ĥ7 MB and it is artwork presented as a manual for TriOptimum employees and stuff more than an actual player guide.ĮG :"TriOptimum Employee Non-Disclosure Agreement" / "Confidiential Information" / "Breach of Agreement" and procedures / etc. It´s more about treating customers differently even though they bought the same product for the same price (or even more, considering the availability of cheaper keys for the Steam platform). Of course, this does not change the fact, that the game itself is brilliant and the manual is not necessarily needed to finish or enjoy the game. And it still does not make sense: If there is a manual, then this should not be a "goodie", bonus or later maybe even a paid content, but part of the release, especially if other platforms include it. was not aware that the manual was only included there until yesterday when it was too late. So I did not not feel any rush to get it and wanted to download it on the weekend. GH-77: Not sure if this attachment will work (and it is in German), but this image was sent by GOG via mail on 30/05 and clearly stated 06/06 5 p.m.
