shadowrun

[Ch3tan]

I picked this up on the cheap, it looked good. However I have not seen anyone here talk about it and that worries me.

It is still sealed and ready to refund, have I made a mistake buying this?

 

[leggy]

Judging by eurogamer and gamespot reviews, quite possibly. There appears to be little or no SP with an unfinished and limited MP mode that borrows heavily from counter strike. I was looking forward to this until I read a couple of reviews. Will probably give it a miss now.

 

[Ch3tan]

I feel it being exchanged for command and conquer -are you still into that online?

 

[leggy]

Heh I haven't played it online yet. Not been at the xbox for a couple of weeks. I plan to keep it though and play it online. So, yes, is the short answer

 

[Xtro]

Enjoying C&C, nearly at end of GDI campaign, haven't tried it online yet but looking forward to legz0r pwning my bottom, so if you fancy a game Ch3ts then that would be cool.

Back on topic, I thought this would have some decent SP action but seeing as its purely online I won't bother. Few people on the dvd forums have it and say its worth a punt if you can pick it up cheap but not worth full whack.

 

[Wonk]

there are bots though. Im not sure if I'll get it actually. It seems quite interesting, but there are only like 6-8 maps :/ ah well, the DLC will decided it for me.

 

[Stimpy]

Don't count on any DL content the team who made it have disbanded already so there isn't really anyone to make it

seriously? an online game without DLC? It's probably not worth it then :/

Half of a game at full price with overpriced DLC.

Sounds like a horribly bad joke anyway.

it's not full price at most retailers over here though.

Ch3tan, I've done the same thing. Preordered from Game and have yet to remove the seal. The demo is being released on Wed 6th so im gonna try that then if it sucks return for a refund

Also I've got C&C3 I may suck but I'll give someone a game

 

[Ch3tan]

Quality guys, I'm going to exchange it for c&c. But I won't be playing it for a bit, as I just got mario strikers today

 

[Aada]

I have it and it is a blast to play it's like CS but with magic and a few other gizmos.

there are 9 maps all of which are great and lets be honest when was the last time you played a shooter where all of the maps were played? i haven't because its usually the same 2-3 maps doing the rounds on every game so i don't understand why people see this as a problem.

No singleplayer? its been no big secret the game was in development for quite sometime and FASA made it quite clear they were not doing any singleplayer.

The only people that don't like the game are those that have not played it and want a singleplayer mode too.

Go onto gamespot/xbox forums and read player reviews and just look at the sheer amount of threads that have something along the lines of 'omfg this game rocks' in the title.

I wouldn't get CNC 3 tbh it gets pretty boring after a while online and you won't go back to the singleplayer.

Shadowrun is a great game and i feel sorry for anyone who doesn't own it yet, comon teleporting through walls? seeing through walls? playing as a DORF?

Open it up and love it.

Also in this game there are no idiots i have found, its a pure team based game and everyone is pretty nice to play with all this comes down to the fact there is no stat system in the game so you won't see any stat padding/boosting just people having a good time.

TROLL FTW

 

[eksdee]

shadowrun is great. fuck the haters!

 

[leggy]

I suppose it all comes down to standards. Mine are slightly above the 'buy any old wank' level.

 

[eksdee]

there's quite a difference between personal preference and 'standards'. to an extent, games are purely subjective - so what, you don't enjoy it personally; don't be a smartass and assume that means other people shouldn't.

Enjoyment of games is subjective. Like enjoyment of women I suppose.

Some people like hairy ladies (sorry 'natural') with a few extra stone in weight. Whereas I prefer mine smooth and lightish.

I never suggested that you shouldn't like shadowrun. I just find it amusing that you do. Now stop taking it all so seriously and get back to watching emmerdale.

Just go and look at the forums/player reviews m8 everyone is raving about it i've been playing it every day since i got it its really good fun.

Reviews from Gamespot etc are bull imo it seems they spent 5mins with the game before giving a score.

The problem is that Overlord is out at the end of the month and that looks 8 gazillion times better. I think I'll save my money until then. I think Dirt is out at the same time which also looks the dogs.

 

[Wonk]

I honestly enjoyed it alot. All those combo's you can make, seems like a real winner to me.

but then again, we're getting so many lovely games these days, and I haven't got time for all of them. PES is already ruining my social life

Overlord is the top of my list atm it looks amazing.

Forza 2 tomorrow thou

Wonk, yeah that is one of the fun parts about it you can make alot of combos.

I really feel sorry for anyone who doesn't own this title fair enough if you were put off by the reviews but why not see what the players are saying about it and realise its a complete gem of a game that has to be owned.

Even the diehard Halo nuts who play it are saying fuck Halo 3 for multiplayer now because without teleporting/rez etc the game sucks.

 

[Sparx]

i played this on demo last night for 7 hours it looks the nuts, its all about teleporting behind people then hacking them with katanas, or jumping up through floors to get away from people, my fave was to teleport then rez someone proper cleric style.

I'm going to get this at the weekend, loved it

 

[leggy]

Ok you have me marginally convinced

I'll download the demo tonight.

There are not many people that have played this game and did not like it most of the people having a moan are those who want a singleplayer campaign.

Overlord Demo out btw

 

[leggy]

Even better news. I'll be rushing home from work this everning.

 

[Earl]

I like it, but im not sure if I want to buy the full version.

The whole magic thing is a good idea, but I feel that the weapons are rather useless on the whole Maybe im still not used to console controllers.. I dunno, but im so used to aiming with a mouse on counterstrike and just headshoting everyone..

Just admit it, you got ass pwnd which is ok because there is alot of good players on there

Well I've bought the game .. and the guns just seem to be pure luck. Dosn't matter about how you aim as long as you can point it in general direction of the enemy

Not at all use the Rifle and take well placed shots at their head and see how fast they drop.


So am i right saying you keep getting owned?

No, I usually have a lot of kills in the match, but that dosn't mean the weapons dont suck

I'll try rifle some more.
