Shadowrun Shadowrun: Hong Kong - Extended Edition

[Excidium II]

According to the karma spend screen, monofilament whips use Ranged Weapons

Hey, since when are you a Wastelands Interactive developer? Or I was just too lazy to notice it earlier?

the codexian police have caught on to me.

Quick question: Is this game some kind of series? Do I need to play Dragonfall or can I just jump in Hong Kong right away?

(Not that I can buy it, fucking Greece with capital controls)

They are all separate stories.

Steam master race

More like manual download ubermensch race.

Sigh, so first it took me 15 minutes to download 11 gigs from GOG, and now it starts to install, which will take another 15 minutes.

Fuck you J_C, shouldn't you be paying like a gazillion forint for fast Internet? What's your almost-dictatorship good for if I can't even get better Internet connections over here?

So fucking slow... 2 hours for 1GB.

According to the karma spend screen, monofilament whips use Ranged Weapons. Spurs and razors use Close Combat (and maybe Melee Weapons).

Oh wow you are right I missed that completely. I wish I knew more specifics about how they work, makes it hard to plan out cyber guys.

Just finished the opening level. Seems very Shadowrun so far. I find it a bit odd that the main character has so much backstory, but I guess it can work.

If it explores what made you get into running it's like the developers read my mind.

It's perhaps worth playing in order so you can fully enjoy the new features.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Too tired to play tonight, but hey, at least I'll have a reason to get out of bed tomorrow

 

[Zetor]

They had to go with a fucking Simon minigame for getting past blocker IC?

Well, at least it's optional.

Yeah, since I CANNOT BUY THE FUCKING GAME, I'll give Dragonfall a shot, I think I have 1-2 weeks for this.

I'm watching a LP in youtube, first mission only, it plays a lot like X-COM in battle, so I like it. How the hell did I miss this and didn't play it?

I hope the story's decent.

There's an Ork portrait with a :kwafuckyeah: bandana. GOTY

Why can't anyone copy Arcanum's equipment buying at character creation?

 

[Vociferon]

Oh God...why did they change the font...WHY?!?

 

[tjorb]

Does this game have rebindable keys yet? Can't find any new info. Not even any .ini files to edit.

 

[Excidium II]

Personally, I liked this new portrait:

So? Is it any gud? Can someone offer a through and detailed review already? How long do you need to play, before you know everything about a game? Gamespot reviewer would cover 10 RPGs in that time.

 

[Immortal]

I want to play this shit so badly. Can't one of you mouth breathers alt tab and post some feels?

Let me live vicariously through you.

Why can't anyone copy Arcanum's equipment buying at character creation?

A simple but extremely effective system that even feeds off your history traits / class selection.
Would brofist if I could, not sure why this isn't done more.

I liked the intro quite a bit, was pretty atmospherical.
So first impressions, character generation is nicely improved, now you can see everything nicely on one screen. No more scrolling like a mofo between attributes and skills. Sadly there is no heavy weapons skills still.
Matrix is definetly a big step up from the rather dull first two iterations. Pity that the avatar is still your RL avatar just silver but at least you aref flying/floating. Certain IC now requires puzzles, PWs or brute force to bypass.
Matrix feels now more like a cat and mouse game with you being the mouse. Black IC. You can very quickly now alert a system to your presence if you are caught by the tracer ICs. Black IC is rather unpleasant as expected.

Story so far is quite a bit like DF but has some noticable differences as well.

 

[Morkar Left]

Just started.
Portraits are better, rest of the artwork hasn't convinced me so far. It's nice that they changed the ork model but now I think the body is too small and looks more like a goblin. *shrug*
As for writing; having again an old friend who calls you with a mysterious undertone gets a bit old. All chars, even minor npcs seem well fleshed out.
Very hard difficulty is missing, not sure if it's just redundant because of new balancing. We'll see.
Grenade launchers seem to be the ultimate weapons.
Can't say anything more atm.

 

[eXalted]

Grenade Launchers are AOE for real this time!

 

[Ninjerk]

HKPF AI did something really strange for me on the opening mission: one conjures a Fire Spirit and then they all just stand there waiting to get shot.
