Why isn't that game considered a classic next to (and deservedly above) System Shock 2 and Deus Ex? It's a shooter/RPG hybrid that gets it right! You start out completely competent at guns, sneaking, takedowns, hacking, etc. If the player is skilled IRL, they can accomplish incredible things with the zero skill recruit class. Meanwhile putting points into skills gives you super powers above and beyond.
Arguably if you're "gaming the system" you should put all your points into the skills you suck at, so if you're shit for stealth you can just activate the "fuck it, invisibility" power.
Yet I hear so many people bitching about how they specialized in X gun but that gun wasn't appropriate for boss fight Y. So pick up the appropriate gun and shoot! Put the crosshairs where you want the bullet to go and pull the trigger, you feeb, there's no simulated incompetence standing in your way in this game! |
