"In my opinion, the history of the human race has been one long succession of conspiracies. To deceive ourselves, we call the successful conspiracies governments."

"Being a soldier isn't just following orders, it's following those orders in the service of a higher cause. When that cause is betrayed, we're not soldiers anymore, just pieces on a chess board dying for the wrong reason."

"Somehow the notion of unalienable liberty got lost. It's really become a question of what liberties will the state assign to individuals or rather, what liberties we will have the strength to cling to."

Do you think Maggie Chow ever went to the bathroom only to find an MJ12 officer in there and got all mad?

Also enjoy this picture from the "JC Tenton" series

I find new areas every time I play that game. It's amazing.

When does that quote occur? I don't believe I've ever heard it before. Every time I play this game or talk about it, I learn something new.

Carter says it. I forget when exactly.

I think it's when you tell him the truth about UNATCO.

I ended up playing it for the ps2 so I might have missed out on some stuff, however those giant cyborg fbi agents were cool

JC Denton: "Some people just don't understand the dangers of indiscriminate surveillance." Morpheus: "The need to be observed and understood was once satisfied by God. Now we can implement the same functionality with data-mining algorithms." JC Denton: "Electronic surveillance hardly inspires reverence. Perhaps fear and obedience, but not reverence." Morpheus: "God and the gods were apparitions of observation, judgment and punishment. Other sentiments towards them were secondary." JC Denton: "No one will ever worship a software entity peering at them through a camera." Morpheus: "The human organism always worships. First, it was the gods, then it was fame (the observation and judgment of others), next it will be self-aware systems you have built to realize truly omnipresent observation and judgment." JC Denton: "You underestimate humankind's love of freedom." Morpheus: "The individual desires judgment. Without that desire, the cohesion of groups is impossible, and so is civilization.""

One of my favorite conversations in the entire game.

people have favorite conversations in games?

7/24/2008 6:29:09 PM

Sure, why not.

7/24/2008 7:47:22 PM

^^ Yeah... kind of like people have favorite lines/conversations in movies. Some games have fairly well written dialogue.

I have only played 2 and thought it was pretty rad. I heard 1 was way better and if so it sounds killer.

By today's standards the graphics, rendering, and physics for DX1 suck ass. But it's so much damn fun to play. And there's lots of different ways to play through the game, linear plot notwithstanding. That's the real testament to a truly great game; when the game play is so solid that nothing else matters.

It's pretty much the best game of all time

7/25/2008 12:00:57 AM

FALSE

FALLOUT 2 IS FAR SUPERIOR TO THIS GAME

WHY? BECAUSE OF WAR.

WAR NEVER CHANGES.

7/25/2008 12:12:21 AM

what if the war is an invisible war

7/25/2008 12:29:57 AM

I go back and forth between DX and System Shock 2 as "greatest of all time."

7/25/2008 5:29:08 PM

System Shock 2 stinks

Oh look we're super advanced in the year 50000 but we can't even make a gun that doesn't break after you shoot it twice

I can't get the game to work on my computer. Fresh off the install, it was really really choppy. Fresh of the last patch, the game speed slowed down to something ridiculous. Is there another patch I don't know about or some other fix I can try?

7/27/2008 10:28:17 AM

What version of Windows are you using? Game of the Year edition runs fine unpatched in XP, I just reinstalled it a few days ago.

7/27/2008 10:32:55 AM

XP Pro, and the disc cover says "special limited edition." It almost feels like my computer is too good for this game, lol.

7/27/2008 11:10:53 AM

I might break out my ps2 version of this game now

7/27/2008 2:05:42 PM

yeah, I think I should play this again

7/27/2008 2:44:09 PM

Now I have to go get this game back from my friend and play it again. If he scratched it... death

I always felt like I was kinda cheating when I was using the lockpick things. Like you could use 6 lockpicks to open the door but I always felt like it was more fun looking around to see if I could find the key or a vent or something to get through. When I ended the game I had like 50 of those things.

The one complaint I had though was that the enemies barely had any reaction to being shot. Like I could shoot one guy in the face with a shotgun at point blank range and he would get hit, react, and shoot me back before I could finish pumping the shotgun for another round.
