The finale of the original I have on a CD rom legitimately bought at the time made me fear and dread the final boss Shodan cause she was terrifying in that very instance where you have to put your all into blasting her code or become a shell of yourself, that potential game over still scared me to this day. I can't in good faith do so while the final boss is still mainstreamed like this. In this remake it's an insult, you get infinite respawners embedded into the floor so immediately all risk is taken away, you are given a freakin' cyber shotgun which up close decimates any enemy and at medium or long ranges might as well be a pea shooter, and shodan doesn't try to overwrite and reprogram you when you are eye to eye quite literally.Īny of my friends can gift me this but until a mod exists on nexus to fix the no stakes bossfight I won't be putting my own money into this. Shodan in the original even smoothed out your mouse controls to make her much harder to hit when you got to her, and you are left with slivers of seconds left to defeat her: if you didn't it was game over. You could of extended the corridors, make it necessary to take out more enemies, make it so shodan's infection code starts up right away but at a much slower pace so people can't savescum %100. The final boss should of been the 3d space shooting segments, and you could of made it MORE challenging: We were promised an 1 1 remake with quality of life improvements with NO handholding.
