While?

While Gankertards have their mouths agape over Cyberpunk, let's talk about why the Shadowrun Trilogy are the best Cyberpunk games of all time.

      We actually did get another one, set in Boston. It was a mobile game, and to no one's surprise it was shit. They went under. Company was grossly mismanaged to all hell.
      I wonder if we'll ever be able to have more Shadowrun games.

    Didn't play Returns. Heard it was bad.
    Loved Dragonfall.
    Played HK for up until the semi-last mission. Got too bored waiting for it to get good and just lost all interest and quit. Also, their depiction of real-world HK is completely wrong and is blatantly obviously seen through the lens of a Westerner. The Chinese and Mandarin-language vibes (HK is predominantly Cantonese-speaking and has its own unique mixed culture with historically British influences) overtakes it a bit too much and you end up with China culture instead of HK. Doesn't help that this game was made before the National Security act where HK's freedoms were taken away and Communists took over.

    Man, it'd be nice if Catalyst/Tops wasn't shit and we got Shadowrun under an open license so people could make fricking games in it without having to suck corporate dick...
    Then again that's actually rather in keeping with the spirit of things isn't it.
    I'll keep dreaming of a team based Shadowrun FPS, somewhere cross between DRG and Payday 2.

        You are a black hole of a human being that actively reduces the joy in his vicinity. Shadowrun has to have highly "woke" elements so that the crushing dystopian vibes hit correctly. Go shit up another thread.

    The first one was pretty much a demo for the editor. The story isn't great if you're familiar with SR, plus they added some insufferable Mary Sues. The showdown is extremely tedious if you didn't build your character in a certain way.
    Dragonfall was at first merely an addon for Returns, but offered more interesting companions, more choices, better missions and a better plot.

      Yeah they're great. Not hard to get into. Play on hard though so it's actually a good challenge. XCOM style combat.

      No, go play baldurs gate 1 and fallout 1. These are more like dead unpopular games that lonely grifters will say anything to have someone to discuss the game with, as they are braindead games that appeal to their gorilla woman (repressed homosexuality) fetish.

      Honestly yeah, the character building is pretty simplistic and if you've played nuXcom the combat will be familiar to you. Dragonfall and Hong Kong are the good ones, Returns is basically a demo that might turn you off the series with how barebones it is so I wouldn't suggest playing that one first.

      You can try different builds for your main. I recommend Decker/Rigger (even in KG, there's nothing wrong with having two Riggers in the party).

      weather there is magic or not is irrelevant.
      cyberpunk is high tech, low life.
      thats all it is.
      as long as technology is involved and life generally is shitty its cyberpunk even if elves are running around.
      especially if elves are running around with cyber eyes and rifles or laser swords.
