Shadowrun: Hong Kong Kickstarter is UP!

[Killyox]

Ah true true looked at 7pm and thought 17:00 instead of 19:00 ;p Well. Perfect. Just when I get home and it'll download quickly.

Sucks there's no pre-load, but, judging by the previous games, the DL size should be fairly manageable.  Sadly, I have to wait until I get home from work, some 3 1/2 - 4 hours after this releases, to even start downloading it. #FirstWorldProblems

Bah, I still have to finish my SRR campaign, I stalled waiting for the "save anywhere" feature but all the patches inbetween seem to have broken my savegame beyond repair. Total bummer as I was quite a ways in...

Downloading at the speed of death!

[Majek]

Release trailer.

[Malcador]

Nice soundtrack, though 'Whistleblower' sounds like jamming to me.

[Majek]

I died in the second fight. Awesome. :D Definitely what i wanted. :D

[Oner]

xD

Is it just me or is there a new running animation - for female elves at least. Looks rather weird.

[Keyrock]

At least 1 more hour before I can start downloading.  Jealousy level rising...  rising.

[Gorgon]

10 gigs almost. 

 

What's all that. High res 4K textures ?. I mean it's a pretty simplistic game. 

[Gorgon]

Nevermind that's what it needs for both cache and game. Game is only 2,5.

[Amentep]

Will get this eventually I liked Dragonfall and Dead Man's Switch (well except for the final fights in DMS).

I don't like the final fights on either of the games, but that's because I dislike CRPG mechanics.

[Keyrock]

Started up the game and made an ork mage called Rubick.  Good times await. 

[Gorgon]

Anyone know why the game goes to windowed mode every time I press quicksave. The edge scroll doesn't work when it's in windowed mode. 

[Keyrock]

Dang, not even an hour in and **** just got real.

 

 

 

I liked Carter too, and that's rare for me to say about an elf.

Well, the deadly old Chinese lady I was expecting is there.

[Darkpriest]

I like it so far. It is fairly simple but bad positioning can get punished.

 

I've completed the intro mission, the initiation mission (without a shot!) and a first real Shadowrun mission (gardens). It is fun but i feel I F.. up my street samurai by giving him SMG and Blades... Probably should have given Rifle and a Blade... i was thinking of giving him a melee implant but i need to carefully plan the points distribution and i have no idea how many are in the game...

Yep. It's a very promising start.

[Gorgon]

Zoning out at the long dialouges at times but I like it so far.  They could have had some of the background play out on other media, like bigscreens and radio. Give short non interactive speech bubbles to random cityfolk, you know, showing rather than telling all the time.

 

Haven't used my gun since the prolouge which is refreshing. Looks like a high etiquette build is a viable option. 

[Keyrock]

I was caught a little off guard at just how rough a battle the game throws you into almost immediately.  I mean, I got through it with no casualties first try, but things did get a little hairy.  I just wasn't expecting to have my feet put to the fire so early.  Anyway, my build is an ork mage who carries a shotgun.  I do magey stuff from a distance and if enemies charge my position to engage in melee, I give em a taste of the ol' buckshot.  I thought about doing mage/physical adept and just kicking people in the face instead of using a shotgun for the close combat stuff, but then I would have to spread my karma out across 4 stats rather than 3 (body, strength, quickness, willpower) and would likely wind up sacrificing either some body or quickness to get my strength up.  I decided to stick with the mage/shotty build since it lets me focus on 3 stats (body, quickness, willpower).  I put 4 points into charisma to get 2 etiquettes (I went with Shadowrunner and Academic), but I won't be touching that stat again; I'm not a shaman and 2 etiquettes seems like enough for 1 playthrough.
