Inexplicable Humblebrag posted:swans in the Commonweal books are deeply amusing. they were weaponised by rogue magicians millenia ago and they are the size of rhinocerouses again great setting, imperfect execution. dragonfall and hong kong rule though. i would dearly love someone to give a good aaa treatment to shadowrun though. not cd projekt red after cyberpunk (fun but flawed) but maybe another studio with better writers and less egregious treatment of employees.

Douche Wolf 89 posted:the advice i got for canada geese working with an ornithologist was to counterintuitively look them in the eye and face your body toward them as you pass. for swans, she said nothing works I got flying tackled off a motorcycle while sitting at a red-light by an irate turkey, as well as ambushed and chased by an emu while trail riding. My earliest memory is being attacked in a stroller by a goose while my mom laughed. I stay away from all swans, given my track record. Edit: yakuza 5 is going to have more play hours than 0, somehow. The batting side story is fun af even if it gets so easy as to be broken.

Shadowrun's vision of the cyberpunk hell future, caused by a mixture of several massive global pandemics, the continued exploitation and obliteration of native peoples to plunder their land, and the militarization and privatization of police forces, are all disconcertingly on point. The early stuff like a cutting edge wireless phone that fits in a portable brief case is quaint now. They really need to bin the Neo-Confederacy thing though. But keep President Dragon.

NoiseAnnoys posted:yes, but they have ELVES. The D&D race stuff is dorky but also charming, yeah. And the real reason we'll never get a Shadowrun game on the level of CDPR's run at Cyberpunk is that Catalyst Games may very well be the most incompetently-run extant tabletop gaming company. The CEO straight up embezzled almost a million dollars from the company and he's still there. They released a statement being like "Yeah, he stole from the company but we're good Christians and forgave him." The latest edition of Shadowrun was published in a state so incomplete it was basically nonfunctional at release. They constantly bilk the contract workers they have write and draw art for the books. The dedicated company that translates and distributes the game in Germany is the only semi-connected division that puts any effort or passion into salvaging the game and obviously that's not available worldwide

I went back inside and then made sure the mom came back before going back to work lol

Lady Radia posted:lmao'ing while mourning Keep in mind that "most incompetently run tabletop gaming company" is a very tight race, and it says a lot that Catalyst might have a slight lead on the competition there. NoiseAnnoys posted:yeah, it really needs a new steward of the ip. again, massive and massively squandered potential. "Massively squandered" is the right descriptor. Like, I would say out of the two big cyberpunk games out there, Shadowrun has been the stronger seller for years before the recent uptick in interest for Cyberpunk. And some of that was definitely because it's "Cyberpunk, but with familiar D&D magic and races" but some of that was also that Cyberpunk as a brand was basically in stasis for years and years after Mike Pondsmith stepped back from the industry to work at Microsoft. He was so flat broke they couldn't even afford real art for Cyberpunk v3 and resorted to dressing Barbie dolls up to take pictures of: And then work starts on the CDPR game, a new Cyberpunk game edition, etc. and meanwhile Shadowrun released the worst edition of their game yet in response. So tl;dr, Shadowrun's marketing sense peaked at the 1990 "game trailer" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GPGQoR6f6w Nuns with Guns fucked around with this message at 18:55 on May 9, 2023 |
