    Shadowrun Returns

    I'll give them credit for a healthy patch of fixes within a week or two of release. Especially on balance stuff. Shotgun specialists are going to howl in rage!

    So... if he literally did nothing, the train would have slowed and 79 people may not have died. He clearly was just clicking the "Ok" button over and over until the train crashed?

    Marvel Universe stuff

    No. Though there was an Iron Man plot (Armor Wars) that was about Stark finding out that someone stole some of his older tech designs quite a while ago and put them to use in a lot of stuff and he got upset over it. Theoretically he hunted down and eliminated most if not all of it. I suppose...

    Revisiting classics

    I think there is a certain amount of just saying "I don't think this movie is for me." and that is Ok. There are some movies I know are supposedly quite good or important but I just can't muster the interest in the content. Just like I realize silent movies are really a different style from...

    I have still not seen Doctor Strangelove in spite of trying to several times. None of the movie things I have has it though.

    D&D is terrible! It's moral lesson is to break into minority's houses, kill them all and steal their stuff, to my more weapons to break into more minority's houses to steal more stuff! Is this the lesson you want our children to learn?!?

    Shadowrun Returns

    I'd also like to say it is nice to see a proper turn based tactical style RPG again as well. Something we've kind of been missing out on for many years now. I definitely agree it would be nice to custom your own 4-man team though.

    What?! Thems are fightan words son! Actually,NosferatuI remember watching when I was still in my teens (and several times since then) and has always been a favorite. Only in the past few years have I begun to really "re-appreciate" (?) silent movies, mostly with seeing an extended...

    I watched:Die Nibelungen: Siegfried,Die Nibelungen: Krimhilde's Rache, andThe Birth of a Nation. Still haveDoktor Mabuse Der Spieler,Woman in the MoonandThe Cabnet of Dr Caligarito watch. I'm not sure those are the types of movies you're talking about though.

    I have managed a tiny island with a linear dungeon and a chest and some monsters... but I can't figure out how to get monsters to despawn after being defeated. Also started on some custom stats. I've been distracted by Shadowrunning to do much more yet.

    Shadowrun Returns

    I don't know what game you guys got, but mine was pretty terrific. After several partial playthroughs I have found several styles of play functional and giving different options as the story goes. The atmosphere and "Shadowrun Feel" has been excellent in my opinion, both in the visual...

    This thread is already derailed. Spanish train derails, kills 78

    Fair enough. Probably shouldn't have worded that the way I did. It just seems like something we aren't making forward progress on even though it would be valuable. We have this gigantic country with all this empty space, you'd think trains would be rather advanced and popular. In fact, the...

    Read a nice article in conjunction with this, asking if this will be another reason against high speed rail coming to America. Then it went on to talk about how Obama has been trying to give away money to the states for it but the states have been rejecting it for stupid reasons. It's also...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Watching the video on "Aiming" I can't help but think they're going to alienate a lot of less-capable casuals with this new, more active style of gameplay. I just don't think the key-turning clickers are going to like it and it may keep them away from the game (this applies to other games...

    Shadowrun Returns

    I have found, after playing through up to a point with one character, then restarting and making it back to the same point, different stats impact the game so you end up with slightly different options you may not have available with another character. edit: Some of these options you never...

    Shadowrun Returns

    I think the armor impacts the calculation that determines if you take a x1.5 x1.0 or x0.5 damage hit. Armor, Tough, Quick and Dodge leaning you towards x0.5 and weapon stat/skill/etc towards x1.5. In other news, I have a 7 Int, a +1 Int item, and it is telling me I can't pick a lock...

    Makes me wonder if stat boots only help for calculations maybe? Does "Armor" actually work?

    One thing I was kind of hoping for was a bit of a X-Com style random mission, "random shadowrun" generator. Ah well.

    I'm under the impression Britain would fight the deportation as they don't want him either. I think they'd rather we send him to Guantanamo.

    Shadowrun Returns

    I think you point out the issues between melee and range. Melee should be more effective, but at the cost of having to close the distance and often not having cover. Unarmed is only really supposed to be handy for Adepts or as a backup I guess. I think the issue is it isn't clear if an...

    Shadowrun Returns

    I think some people are kind of misunderstanding what they bought here. They didn't buy a huge 40+ hour multiple choice RPG campaign for $20. They bought a game engine, RPG mechanics, strong editor and a simple little 10 hour game to show off the basics for $20. The real pay off comes...

    Though shit animations (various) and "all the races look the same except the head" (SWTOR, and Vanguard I think?) have been sizable and legit complaints in the past.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I felt like they were going for a "thing", 4 classes, 4 races, 4 career-things. Adding two new races and classes breaks the symmetry for me and enrages me! Especially because they don't seem to need 2 more races and classes. *shrug*

    I was going to say we need some foreign folks to make THE ALAMO or some other importance piece of American folklore and turn it into something completely different with fire breathing Kentuckians and Kansas women with laser-eyes or some stupid shit. But knowing today's audience, they'd think...

    Unless there is something going on there amazing we aren't being shown, I can't imagine paying money for that. Maybe if it is free to play like Neverwinter I'll check it out for a week and give it a chance.

    Right now I'm going to just use it as a tool to learn a system and write a little story, just probably using the basics to see what I end up with. I'll see if I end up tossing it out the window in rage or making something appreciable. If the latter maybe I'll move on to a more proper...
