Shadowrun Shadowrun Returns - Dead Man's Switch Original Campaign

[Leonidus]

Still no weapon/armor/spell editor though?

Betrayed.

 

[Zetor]

All the weapons / armor / spells / abilities / items are in .txt files and are documented on the wiki, and quite a few mods have been released that change the existing weapons or add new ones (take a look at the Street Samurai Catalog, f'rex).

 

[DalekFlay]

I don't get the writing complaints. Great writing was one of the highlights of the original release for me.

SR on steam for 6.29 euro or your regional equivalent.

What's cool about it: Gripping Tactical Combat

 

[DalekFlay]

I hope they have a decent bundle when the expansion comes out, since I already own it on Steam.

 

[Infinitron]

The game got a patch today that enables Wasteland 2-esque EXTREEM ZOOMING. I like it.

 

[Spectacle]

Well, that's not gonna happen if you wait for a steam discount like any sane person would do. There's no need to rush at all and there will be some community content to play around by then too.

A sane person doesn't delay a purchase to save a measly 10-15 dollars.

AHAHAHAHAHA Metro get in here and educate the heathens.

Project Update #69: Shadowrun Returns Version 1.1.1 Released - Includes French, Spanish and Italian!

French translation is horrible... (as expected, really, they always are. Must be some kind of tradition to murder decent writing.)

$15 is a lot of money in potatoland, it seems.

 

[Metro]

$15 is three games during Steam sale! Hell, more than that!

It's the whole sale, when you shop in Russia.

 

[Bleed the Man]

Just tried to enable the spanish translation...
Maybe I did something wrong, but, where the hell is the translation? Only the menu and HUB is partially translated (and with some jarrings mistakes. "Opciones de cámara: Gratis" LOL), the rest is in english.

Shadowrun SNES mod in the works: http://www.joystiq.com/2013/12/18/rebuilding-nostalgia-giving-new-life-to-shadowrun-snes/

Long, interesting article.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Even the Genesis one is being remade. And I think the Shadowrun unlimited is essentially a remake of one of the early Shadowrun games, the one where your brother's a runner that gets killed and you start doing runs with an end to revenge... Is that the genesis one?

 

[Koschey]

Aye, that's the Genesis one.

 

[Grunker]

I don't get the writing complaints. Great writing was one of the highlights of the original release for me.

The slick writing of the game's first half was mostly all that kept me going.

This one looks interesting:

Hub-based design. Inspired by classic cRPGs, Nightmare Harvest is open for you to explore at your own pace.

No golden-breadcrumb trail. Nightmare Harvest isn't about getting to the next waypoint so you can click the next conversation so you can get to the next fight. You'll have to think about things, read descriptions and figure stuff out on your own.

Not just one way to do things. Nightmare Harvest wants you to role-play. There are different ways to solve every problem depending on your class, stats and personal style.

Dialogue is gameplay. Characters don't talk to you to dump exposition in your lap. The choices you make in your interactions with others affect the game.

Content-complete. Nightmare Harvest is finished. You don't have to wait six months for chapter 2. You can play the whole thing now.

Different outcomes. Everyone in the Shambles has their own agenda, so why shouldn't you? The story adapts to your choices and mistakes.

Repeatable runs. Stuck? Want to grind up some Karma? Go to an area you've already conquered and see if there's something new.

Anyone played it?

Edit: Author sounds like a bro:

When I made [lethal dialogue], I was homaging Planescape:Torment. When I first played that game I remember being blown away that you could make the wrong choice and just die! It really engaged me with the (already excellent) writing.

 

[Ninjerk]

Probably hipster name dropping like that interview about the Torment characters from the Dragon Age: Inquisition lead (designer? writer? some asshole).

 

[Tommy Wiseau]

I only bought the game on sale now; cool setting, but still underwhelming.

 

[Gord]

I bought it during the autumn sale. Went into it without any particular expectations and found it quite enjoyable as a light-weight RPG with some fun elements.

 

[Multiple Sarcasm]

What's the status of the save-loading? Checkpoint retardation still rampant or has it been fixed out by now?
