System Shock 2 FINALLY on GoG.com

There it is, people, one of the legends of gaming finally available without needing to track down an old CD copy. The predecessor to Bioshock, a game who's elements are often commented on as being lifted directly from System Shock with a steam punk make-over. A part of gaming history for the good price of $10. No one should miss-out on this.

Aren't you...a bit late? The game was released there a a while ago and last week there was even a question [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.403339-So-any-newbies-played-System-Shock-2-yet] if people managed to try it.

Yeah, bit late. Still, an important message for anyone who didn't already know. Go do it! You know who you are! It's awesome.

Greatest misplaced use of 'nah' ever!

Your late to the party dude, i got it when it first came out at the discount price a couple of weeks ago.

A great game, but it's so damn hard at times it feels impossible, even on normal.

That's what makes it so great. None of the hand-holding "don't worry, we'll make sure to carry you to the ending if need-be" crap of modern games. System Shock makes you earn that credit roll.

I guess "oops" if it came out a while ago, did a search and didn't find anything, and the page on gog doesn't say when it came out, so I thought it was more recent.
