Shadowrun Shadowrun Returns Pre-Release Thread

[Ramireza]

Sorry, for me this looks like a cheap XCom (the popamole one) clone in the Shadowrun Universe.

Furhter It "feels" and looks like typical Mobile game.

Well, maybe the Editor could safe it, but tbh: I am disapointed and i am glad that i didnt backed this.

First come, first served (so, DramaticPopcorn and himmy); I'm out of copies now.

Thank you. Now I can still afford my nanny and my gardener. Good looking out. Maybe those who can't afford the game need to get jobs or move away from Potatoland.

huehuehue

I just need to wait a week, probably for the better as the KKKodex impressions will be at boiling point.

The only thing it has going for it is its atmosphere, otherwise even Jeff Vogel's Avadon has better and deeper gameplay, and far more content. Music seems disappointing as well, uninspired generic music and remixes by the composers of the SNES and Genesis games. What a shame.

This game will unlock in approximately 21 hours

Edit. Nice trolling attempt by HHR.

Watching the let's play for 8 mins I have to say I like the mood and writing. I'm looking forward to an enjoyable classical rpg that isn't made in the 90's.

Care to elaborate?

Dunno if good or bad (hope good), but SRR is now the top seller on Steam

Someone fell for a HHR troll. You just made his day -- it's so rare people give a shit now that he can't do one-two whammies with FartRider.

 

[Morkar Left]

You ruin everything Would have been amusing reading his feeble attempts.

Avadon is 35 hours-long or so, and will have a more detailed story and more gameplay systems.

Shadowrun returns will only be 12 hours long, looks more linear and limited, will have less dialogue, less choices, will lack basic elements like inventory, stealth, and save anywhere. The music is a big disappoinment. And most of all the combat based on the gameplay videos looks very basic isometric turn-based stuff, no different than from a Jeff Vogel game, who is already not very good at combat. The options from the PnP game are for the most part gone.

I want to play it for the atmosphere, but otherwise it's a mobile developer on a limited budget making a game limited in scope. Don't except a revolution. Wasteland 2 has a better, more experienced team, and it will make all the difference.

 

[Excidium]

This looks loads better than Avadon, are you drunk? Avadon has that retarded stamina system and small Diablo skill trees for the 3 classes it has. Plus the story is banal shit boring biowarean crap.

I couldn't bring myself to even finish the demo

That Avadon is probably longer I haven't questioned.
Where did you get that Avadon has a more detailed story? And how has Avadon more gameplay systems compared to SR Returns? SR Returns has a lot of skills, more attributes and even nuances like different Etiquettes. Has Avadon similar or more sophisticated systems like these? Combat allows taking cover, you can hack systems etc. And it looks like the skills get a lot more use to resolve obstacles depending on skill which doesn't seem the case in Avadon.
But since I haven't even played Avadon nor SR Return I'm sure you can enlighten me further. And in more detail please. With facts would be nice.

Music seems disappointing as well

Ban HHR. Music is quite possibly this game's best part and I will not suffer anyone trolling about it

 

[tuluse]

HHR trolled so hard Darth Roxor broke his NDA

 

[aris]

Prepare for an epic tidal wave of massive apologism filling this thread by every codex hive-drone that jizzed like crazy after name-dropping and hearing the word "old-school", and threw 3-10 times more money on the game than it's worth, thus making a bioware-drone look like a bastion of resistance against marketing.

I'm hoping for a decent game, and one that at least doesn't suck for the 20 dollars I threw on the kickstarter, let's hope it gets fullfilled.

Gaudaost is allowed to post outside of the Diablo 3 thread?

Prepare for an epic tidal wave of massive apologism

I'm already preparing my longwinded diatribe about how it's not the game, it's the potential I paid for. I could use a proofreader, you interested? I'm mostly need passes on the segments where I read too much into game system failings and try to present them as virtues, as well as the part where I go into an ill-informed tangent on the history of computer CRPGs that ends up going nowhere.

 

[likaq]

Gaudaost is not banned?

Fix'ed.
