Post by: ĪSaucelotĪ on July 26, 2013, 02:58:03 pm
Anyone interested in it? If not squire, I know he's busy with Phantasy Star n what not, but somebody else must be excited about this game?  I havent bought it yet, i will when im done with XCOM.  If your not into those kind of games, then we're not friends  O0

Not bad, I give it 7/10 'cause the last line didn't fit very well.  But I'm impressed.

Now give it to me in normal form.  Is it kind of set up like Final Fantasy's combat?

FF tactics, yeah definitly.  I think the isometric view of it is fixed though.  Its going to be more open world, transitions between combat and hub-world, that sort of thing.   It reminds me a lot of the old Fallout games.  This video will do it more justice than I can say though.

Yeah that definitely has an early Fallout feel to it.  Looks like it'll be pretty interesting.

I feel like its falling under a lot of peoples radar right now though.  It also has a map editor, theres going to be some sick community mods for it.  It was on sale for 15 dollars during the summer sale, there was no alpha though you had to wait which i bet missed out on a few sales.  Its 20 dollars on steam btw.

 I'm saying all this and I havent bought it yet even though its out lol.  I blame that on having to play XCOM and the 10 other steam games i bought and havent played yet, and the new mouse i bought while looking at both that and a steam wallet card at best buy  :D

Haha, man you gotta work through your backlog!  That's what the Steam summer sale is all about.

And I saw a few games go on sale this time when they didn't even have an alpha version available.  I wish they wouldn't do that.

I know I hate that, thats literally the only reason I didnt pull the trigger on Shadowrun the first time, there were a few others like that too that I was on the fence about buying and chose not too.

 Lol funny thing is I sold an extra inversion table I had today so now i have extra money to buy Shadowrun, but thats just going to add more games to the have to play list lol.

Crap, I knew that sounded familiar. I have Shadowrun for the Sega (it was released in 94). I really liked that game....is it like the Sega version? Or are you familiar with that version...

Yeah its just like that, thats why they made this game to go back to its roots.  I'm not that familiar with the story so idk how u remember it, and idk if this is a sequel or a prequel, i think its more of a redux.

Shadowrun Returns isn't too be confused with Shadowrun, that FPS cross-platform Hybrid of a few years ago, just in the same universe.  Although i have to give that game credit too, it was extremely ambitious, pretty sweet too.  It just wasn't what shadowrun fans were looking for, that was a spin-off.  If you actually played the original, this is your game bro.

Btw never ended up buying it, I think I might when it goes on sale.  I'm actually more inclined to buy the old one lol, or at least get a rom of it.  From what I've heard the new one isn't quite as open world and after you complete the story thats it, no game plus or anything.  Also heard it was not very open world, so Ill still get it, just not for 20 bucks lol.
