Shadowrun Shadowrun Returns Pre-Release Thread

[J_C]

Fucking Codex falling for the Euroderp review. And fucking me for listening to the Codex. I have to flip-flop and say, it doesn't sound bad afterall. Can't wait to finish work and go home to play some SSR.

Are you gonna hate on Double Fine too, now?

Only if the game is released and it is crap.

Almost every review so far has made reference to the new XCOM. Is the similarity really that uncanny or am I just getting old since reviewers don't seem to remember any other game with turn-based tactical combat.

 

[Darth Roxor]

It is similar to the new xcom in that it has the automatic cover hugging with the shield emblems shtick, no ammo management and 1-3 action points.

It is, however, much less retarded than neuxcom.

That. We live in the age where KotOR is considered TB...

So bros, I have one question, since I'm inexperienced with steam...

Does "preloading" a game means what I just did with Shadowrun Returns?

I.e. I just went on in steam, and clicked on +add a game, and put in the KS key, and now it's in my library. But I don't have the option to download it yet. I thought preloading means I can already download it, to be prepared, and I just couldn't play it till they "flip the switch". And then when they do, I just start up the game and play it, without having to download it first, as I will seem to have to do now. First wait for it to download and than start playing...

Preloading is exactly what you described, AFAIK it's not available for Shadowrun though.

 

[Trash]

Nope. Preloading is that you download most of it apart from a few files that get unlocked at the launch. You just added the game to your steam library. Shadowrun has no preloading.

Which imo is for the better as preloaded games end up cracked and on torrents early depressingly often.

You can't preload it before they decide that you can, possibly you can't preload at all, and have to wait till launch to start the downloading. I'm guessing the game isn't very big though.

Nope. You just added it. SRR has no preloading (IMO it's so they won't fuck over those who want the DRM free option as that is impossible to pre-load).

 

[Trash]

Roxor already said it's 1200 mb. Depending on servers that really shouldn't take that long.

And steam comments aren't any better than youtube comments. Whoduthought?

 

[Hobz]

I hope they pump that cash in the Berlin campaign and make SRR the "complete" game it should be. Maybe with real saves and free roaming.

 

[Metro]

ERMAGERD HERPS AND GERBILS GERTA PRELERD! Anyone with a decent connection could probably dowload this in 15 minutes tops.

 

[dibens]

I'm busy now. Is it worth playing right now or it can wait until the weekend?

 

[Metro]

You need to stop what you're doing RIGHT NOW and play this game. NNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGH

 

[CWagner]

I hope they pump that cash in the Berlin campaign and make SRR the "complete" game it should be. Maybe with real saves and free roaming.

Does anyone know if they count the added SRR kickstarter rewards as sales for the purpose of the top list? Or are those actual steam preorders?

Real saves: Yes please!
Free Roaming is already in modules like "Life on a Limb".

 

[dibens]

Installing Steam, then. Shit, I should be sleeping right now.

 

[Trash]

Go to sleep, dibens. The game isn't out for the next 8 hours.

Incidently, I'm off to work. Expect to play this thing either late tonight or tomorrow evening. Looking forward to an additional 30 or so pages of inanity here.

 

[Metro]

Installing Steam, then. Shit, I should be sleeping right now.

I'm joking. It's a game. Not going to go anywhere.

 

[SwiftCrack]

Holy fuck @ the popamole manchild that still doesn't understand how kickstarter works.

 

[Brotherman Bill]

I hope they pump that cash in the Berlin campaign and make SRR the "complete" game it should be. Maybe with real saves and free roaming.

I bought it for that price some weeks ago. Turns out they turned the price down to 12,59 instead in the meanwhile, no idea why

 

[SwiftCrack]

Because you probably live in potatonia

This has to be a troll. I mean, it is literally impossible to be that stupid., right? Right? RIGHT!?

 

[Vault Dweller]

Fucking Codex falling for the Euroderp review.

Of course, the problem is that Darth's impressions don't really differ from Eurogamer's review that much. Both reviews list pretty much the same issues, both agree that atmosphere/story is good, both enjoyed it.

 

[CappenVarra]

Note to self: stop reading this thread until you finish the game.
