the harebrained schemes shadowruns are extremely good, except for returns which is just pretty good proof of concept

the SNES Shadowrun games remind me of EVO: The Search For Eden. Both games had huge ideas that the timeframe and hardware limitations couldn't really deliver on. I'd love for someone to tackle EVO's ideas again. Spore didn't even attempt to come close.

Andrast posted:You can use the setting without using the bad rules! One of these days I want to make a Shadowrun hack for Blades in the Dark. It's a great system for it--the whole thing is already based on a bunch of scoundrels doing scoundrel things, and the whole system hinges on pushing players to take big risks and do cool things, with big consequences for failure. There's a pseudo-cyberpunk Blades in the Dark hack out there already, but it's not Shadowrun so it'd need some work.

The Colonel posted:the shadowrun snes game was kind of cool in concept but it's hilarious how bad the combat is and how there's an entire segment that's just grinding in a single room so you can beat the arena Yeah it was pretty janky even at the time and I doubt I'd have been able to beat it without using a guide. There's also an incredibly easy to stumble on bug that will stop you from making any more progress and if you happened to save then without realising you'd have to start over from the beginning.

It even has the gear porn aspect present, it's just not poo poo like in Shadowrun. It's still pretty crunchy and involved but the combat rules actually work really well.

EVO is actually a sequel (remake?) for a pc-98 rpg that recently got translated, and the final chapter of that game is time converging into this giant mess where there are both ancient cavemen and futuristic space people reigning over the land

since i never played TW3's DLC i bought the Complete Edition while it's $20 since that'd be cheaper than buying the DLC by itself and since it's been a while i started a new game i take back the bad things i said about the combat, the combat is actually very good (because it's so easy you can kill things 10 levels higher than you if your dodge button works)

Is there something like isthereanydeal bur for the PS4, where I can just wishlist games and get alerts on sales? Finally got a PS4  I'm already following @Wario64 on twitter as per a friend's recommendation.

There's a wishlist function through PSN but it won't alert you to when they go on sale. The sale prices tend to only change on Tuesdays for their weekly deals and then Friday through Sunday for flash sales (which they run about once a month). Unironically probably a good bet to just follow the PSN thread here.

Finally got a PS4 There's this site but I'm not sure if they have a wish list function. I've only used it to check past prices before jumping in on sales. https://psprices.com/ Edit: oh I guess it does. It tells you right on the opening page. I must have just skipped passed it. Lol

Oh hey, I didn't even consider that. I'm running a Fragged Empire game right now with the default setting and you're right, I think that'd hit a lot of those crunchy Shadowrun notes without being as overbearing as actual Shadowrun.

Mordja posted:There was also a story a while back about how he lives practically off-grid, surrounded by guns and swords. It's a pretty rad read: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2017/07/12/cyberpunk-2077-mike-pondsmith-interview/ quote:“I wanted a house that was hard to find. On the web and in life, I don’t like to be traceable, so I wanted a place that people couldn’t look up very easily. It’s in the woods, you won’t find it on Google Streetview, and nobody has any reason to come by unless they know I’m there.

I let my brother borrow my Vita to play Undertale on and he waited 25 minutes for Toriel to come back, in the room where she leaves you, before asking me if that was actually what you're supposed to do.

FactsAreUseless posted:It feels pretty derivative. I'm not giving up on it yet, but I was hoping it wouldn't just be checking all the boxes off on the FarCry list. I think if I stick to the main quest and ignore poo poo like bandit camps it'll be more fun. Bandit camps and red zones were the weakest parts of the experience imo
