Pure personal opinion of course: magicians actually have other things to do: spellcasting. Deckers are deckers. Take away the matrix and they are riggers without the drones or street samurai without being good at combat. At the same time, the Matrix actually can affect the real world: you can hack turrets etc. The Astral Plane on the other hand, while being parallel and allowing the person on the astral journey to percieve the real world in a way, doesn't really allow them to affect it. It would take a lot more to tie it into gameplay. Though it would be nice if they did eventually with a DLC. Or if one was to take it by pure maths: Third Edition Rulebook: The Matrix pages 199-230, The Astral Plane pages 171-177 (magic is 158-198). So the rulebook dedicated 5 times as much space to the matrix as to the astral plane, while the astral plane is only 6 out of 40 pages in the magic chapter.

That's not really possible though if it is supposed to stay a Shadowrun game. Deckers are a major part of it and the Matrix is what deckers are about. Its bad enough they had to butcher magic users (and while it would have been nice if they had included the Astral Plane, it would not have been realistic in the scope of the project), if they had left out the matrix, they might a well not have included deckers as a playable class.

And now to post in the right thread: Duck Tales WOO-OO! Beat three levels so far. You can choose in which order you want to play Amazon, Africa, Transylvania, Himalaya and the Moon, but some are deffinitly harder than others. Especially the boss fights.

edit: wrong thread

On tablet this game would have been great too. It's on PC that it is wanting. And I don't see how Dead Man's Switch + Berlin could be 20-30 hours. Dead Man's Switch barely reaches the 10 hours on its own.

started work on my Game of Thrones fan art project. Having trouble with Wile E. Coyote though.

Ooo, that one does look interesting. *bookmarked as a reminder* If you find it interesting feel free to upvote on greenlight I'll eventually get into beta, so I'll let you know what I think (once I get in and once it will be ok to say things obviously )

They are just building up for the sieges comming with the DLC. I think in a month they'll dial them back down again.

What to do? Just grab onto some http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/630788934249187392/79D50C0D8E7984F77E7012A6832AC826F27E1385/ Duck Tales http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/630788934248569686/3558AFAFFACAA318B7A8A607A19F9165C76609E6/ WOO-OO http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/630788934248572895/E865A0845BD5D7A6419CD5CDFCC237F58899A91A/ Everyday they're out there making http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/630788934237301700/60EE97F3F19257931C76843972FA9B3426F77BFD/ Duck Tales http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/630789130575900869/BB9FFDCE96D6CC3AF2565BC8C761889C047D1ECC/ WOO-OO http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/630789130575905976/659743106FE0B1A84626BD14D164C7DC50F44656/

I'm waiting for Forsaken Fortress Then of course there is Primordia Though I doubt that is your type of game. And as people have proven, you can always turn a game of Civilization into an atomic wasteland

That is because enemies never miss. Only explosives you can actively dodge can miss: grenades, rockets etc. Thus while boses can have amazingly powerful abilities, as you can dodge them if you learn the tells, you can beat them (I find the Volge Visceras are the worst. It is very easy to get the timing wrong when dodging their charge attack...). A raider with an SMG though can't be dodged and as the rate of fire is very high and the reload time is low, he'll chew through your shield and stop it from recharging and your health from regening.

I did not like it. It seemed rather ambitious, but the gameplay was such that I could not play it. Mind you that was a long time ago.

Is that an open world crime game?

I blame Saints Row. Before Saints Row nobody would have called GTA the "serious note".

I read "emperor" instead of "employer"... I think I spend too many of my formative years with Warhammer 40k.

Well it is a small unit tactics game, so it could indeed borrow from that franchise. I would love it with a wierd kind of randomly made 3D turn based strategy map, where you could explore and expand into adjacent parts of the underhive, while other gangs do the same. With a number of premade gangs for the AI to throw a number of them at you each game.

A lot of GW IPs seem to be getting fairly good video game adaptations. I seriously disliked the commentators in Blood Bowl, otherwise that was a pretty solid game. The Talisman game is a very good adaptation of the board game as well. edit: Here is keeping my fingers crossed for Necromunda and Gorka Morka

Yeah, know what you mean. Even though I have gone through the phase where I was telling tales of woe. Until it turned out I got more tired of telling them than people got of listening Now boh telling and listening bores me.

Thanks for the info Wals. I was affraid it might not be too exciting. I think I'll wait a while. If multiplayer isn't all that user friendly and I am restricted to playing with people from my friend list, then I may not get much of a chance to enjoy the game

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be a good idea during oral. But I take it this is why you told me you were rethinking the Israel-Palestine Conflict solution?

That's your solution for everything, isn't it?

I had played the old DOS game Duck Tales: Quest for Gold that had nothing to do with the Nintendo games or this remastered version, where you had to also fly the plane. That wasn't a very good game, but at that time it was good enough for us that it was a game I played Duck Tales on the Gameboy. While I loved it back then, I can't say I remember it all that well to do a comparison. You still play as Scrooge and you still use the cane to pogo around? Can't be of more help. It plays well though, and in the end that is what counts to me: that it has gameplay that works. If that means that someone who has a working NES and fires it up finds differences, then so be it
