Genius patch (Re-Introduced)

[Thatguy]

Who here thinks the genius patch would be nice to have in the remake?

For example using it would highlight pieces that need to be moved, making those puzzles a bit more doable. The downside of using it could be having objects names get scrambled, like when you examine pistol rounds it would say something random like scrap or rifle rounds.

But just a thought, let me know what you think

The puzzles are already easy as hell. There's not much point.

The only thing I miss is carrying 10 pieces of rotting human legs in my inventory.

System Shock came out in 1994, and no other games allowed you to do that.

Almost 30 years after, it remains the only game allowing you to do that.

;((((

I think The Forest lets you do that but it's not quite the same, is it? Lol.

Not me, but some people hate puzzles. I hate those sliding puzzles that are common in old school runescape clue scrolls.

if I had to do those without AI id slam my head against my desk.

Just give it a weird con like “overstimulation”, and make your vision or sounds incoherent afterwards for a short time.

You forgot you are dealing with modern audience. Things have to be dumb down for them even more. Sad times.

Logic probes are abundant, and farmable (I believe there were a limited number in the original). Just use those.

I would be content with the developer fixing the game's many technical issues. Apparently, it's not gonna happen.

I think genius patches should be buyable from "stores" in very limited amount.

So people who hate puzzles could use ingame credits/resource to make them easier.

Puzzle 1 could also have tons of genius patches or logic probes to buy so you can "skip"puzzles if you hate them or when replaying the game using credits.

Currently you can simply NOT disable robot production on the research lvl I think that can spawn up to 48 hoppers and 48 other"repair? bot(on combat 3) which can drop % logic probes.

So you can farm them there and obvioulsy the lvl can likely spawn some more as well especially on combat 3 which also has 20% loot bonus.
