Agreed again with Little Trouble in Big China.

I think I've decided what I'm going for: Street Samurai, mostly in with swords but a few points kicked towards Assault Rifles. Augments out the wazoo.

 

[JC Sera]

Probs gonna go Elf Decker/face
maybe with that really cool corporate elf portrait they previewed

 

[Purkake4]

What's the actual time the game unlocks?

 

[kiyoaki]

10 am PST.

 

[Purkake4]

10 am PST.

Cheers!

 

[A-V-B]

Liiiittle trouble...

in Big China-aa!

 

[E_Darkness]

10 am PST.

I just realised that's going to be 6pm here. I guess it gives me the entire evening.

 

[Lulubop]

I can play this without having played the others? Thanks

 

[epmode]

The new Shadowrun games are all standalone.

You should play Dragonfall though. Because it's fuckawesome.

 

[E_Darkness]

I can play this without having played the others? Thanks

Yes you can. But play the others as they're pretty good. Especially Dragonfall.

 

[Poodlestrike]

I can play this without having played the others? Thanks

They're pretty much standalone.

I'd recommend Dragonfall Director's Cut, though, since it's very, very good.

 

[TrickytheKid]

I've always wanted to try out that Genesis game. Is it worth getting that over the SNES version?

Genesis version is much closer to the actual Shadowrun world than the SNES version IMO. But I have a great deal of nostalgia and an appreciation for both.

 

[Lulubop]

Yea, I wanted to grab Dragonfall during a steam sale but it slips my mind.

 

[TheChaos]

Is there a review embargo for this game? Don't see any reviews.

 

[Slappers Only]

Very different games. SNES one seems more popular and well-remembered, but I really like them both.

 

[epmode]

Is there a review embargo for this game?

Looks that way. Or maybe they just didn't provide press copies which amounts to the same thing.

I'd be annoyed if I hadn't already paid for the game months ago.

I'm not sure whether they gave out review copies or not

Shadowrun: Hong Kong |OT| Sleeping Trogs

 

[E_Darkness]

I think there is? But I think it is more that they have to wait to get the game on the 20th until they can start playing it.

 

[LurkerPrime]

I couldn't stop myself. I'm ready for the 20th.


Shadowrun: Hong Kong |OT| Journey with the Best

 

[E_Darkness]

Just reached the final mission in Dragonfall on hard. Playing a decker turned out to be much more fun than it was originally. I could've played Returns/DMS for the first time instead of doing this. I'm really considering playing Hong Kong through on hard. It just feels right.

Any objections to an animated banner?

In lieu of being able to add in a fancy subtitle.

Love it. Two cybernetic thumbs up.

 

[RK9039]

That's a really cool banner.

Shadowrun: Hong Kong |OT| The Best RPG of 2015

(These games are kinda obscure and need all the promotion they can get.)

 

[cj_iwakura]

I said it as a joke, but Little Trouble in Big China's the leader. (I really should watch that film...)

Save that for OT2

Spoiler

I kid, but it might just hit that...

Well, it's a pretty solid title. "Little trouble" is funny in an understatement sort of way.

Heh, we really have no idea what they're up against. It could just be a little Triad war.

It could.

It won't, but it could.

Alright, we had a pretty informative interview with Shadowrun: Hong Kong director Mitch Gitelman and he share quite a lot of information which I will transcribe tomorrow here in this thread.

Maybe it should be saved for the OT instead? I'm sure that's where most people will be posting from tomorrow. Not sure when it's going up exactly though. Would be a waste to have a great interview in this thread right as it's dying off or getting closed!

 

[kiyoaki]

In case you've missed it, HBS have added new stuff to the backerkit digital rewards. Most importantly, there's a better quality version of the soundtrack (it's now 320kbp/s, and the track 'Whistleblower' and the track order have been fixed). You can also now access your in-game codes for the exclusive backer portraits, if you've backed at that tier.

 

[ashecitism]

When's the review embargo?

 

[JC Sera]

I got the backer exclusive portrait codes, they are exactly the same
similar case for anyone else?

Alright, that sounds like an idea. Though I will note that the interview is out in case they want to listen to before the OT goes up.

Already am
up to talking about "classes"

 

[Clunker]

I was super-bummed when I sat down last night to redeem the backerkit code I got ... Only to realize the game isn't out yet. Want this right now so baaaaaaaaad.

Probably going to put it up tonight since I have no idea when the game launches tomorrow.

I can answer this one, 10 AM PDT.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I can answer this one, 10 AM PDT.

Nice. I won't be on then, so it'll be up a little early.

 

[Shake Appeal]

No preload for this? Not that it'll be that large, but my connection is miserable.

 

[Sulik2]

Man I was disappointed last night. Totally thought it was the 20th, since you know Tuesday is release day. Then realized this doesn't come out until Thursday and has no preload.

 

[GavinUK86]

Best I got is Crouching Triad, Hidden Dragon.

i quite like that one lol

 

[Tacitus_]

I can answer this one, 10 AM PDT.

Bleh, it launches at 8 in the evening here then. Oh well, there's still vacation left...

 

[MichaelFassbender]

Ohhhhh baby, it'll just be like the last time around. Except this time I'm not fucking up my session with that awful combo of breakfast burritos and energy drinks causing a complete lack of sleep.

Seriously guys, learn from Mikey "F-Bomb" Fassbender's mistake. Some things were meant to be separate.

 

[ebullientprism]

Quick question guys, I see this is available on Mac and PC. Are either GoG or Steam doing a buy one version get the other free thingy?

Have a gaming PC at home but use a Mac at work. Playing it on the Mac aint a priority but it would be nice to have that option without buy it again.

Would prefer to buy from GoG. So, does GoG work like that?
