>Hey Grendel, can we change your name to Shadowrun thread

>>384521118
On /v/? Tell you one thing, I'd rather play any of those SR games, than read that god damn SR5 rulebook. Even the bible had less shit in it.

When is the next game coming out?

I was kind of disappointed with that first shadowrun turn based game that came out a while ago, but i heard they really improved on the first game later on, is this true?

>>384521708
Yes, they did quite well.

I'm reading dragonfall is the best, do i need to playthrough shadowrun returns before starting dragonfall?

>>384522931
Completely standalone. Be sure to get the enhanced edition or whatever they called it.

>>384522931
No, Returns was basically just an excuse to make the engine.

>>384523023
>>384523045
Ah cool, i'll give it a second try then.

>>384522931

You can skip returns. Dragonfall is a much better introduction into the game. Hong Kong being the magnum opus

I quit right there. The writing reads like someone's fan-fiction and the characters look and sound like someone's self-insert.

Why does /v/ hate shadowrun?>

>>384526032
go to /tg/ if you really want to talk about shadowrun

Because /v/ is to retarded for games like Shadowrun. Only WoW, Final fantasy, shit-talking Overwatch because it's better than a 10 year old game, and e-celebs here.

>>384526287

What's your favorite game from the series? Have you played the tabletop?

Hey Chummers. Any good Shadowrun books?

>>384521118
man, as a teenager I loved reading shadowrun novels, which is great, since there are also many german writers for it. but nowadays it's a pain to find them in any bookstore and I hate amazon. I wish cyberpunk was more popular.

>>384526558
Dragonfall

I want to but I can't do it locally because the only tabletop games played here are MtG and sometimes Yu-Gi-Oh!. Fuck doing it online.

>>384526032
/v/ doesn't hate it, /v/ doesn't play it. Just like Dorf Fort. I can't remember the last time I saw a DF thread on /v/

>>384526954
There was one a couple hours ago

>>384526750

im sure the new cyberpunk 2077 will reinvigorate interest

It's not my fault Shadowrun has shit character design and orcs and elves look exactly the same except for tusks, and orcs and trolls look exactly the same except for horns.

>>384526954

i post on /v/ and i could have sworn I played shadowrun.

>>384526954

The most I've seen people talk about it here is that SR is mediocre to bad, but DF and HK are a step in the right direction.

I played SR on my phone on a roadtrip and I thought it was pretty good for a mobile game.

Shadowrun is a pretty good visual novel, I enjoyed it. Did anyone else experience a bug where you had to play this weird, awful combat segment before continuing with the story?

Are you implying that didn't already happen five years ago

Its the same thing but a little better. Not very much improved. Decking sucks in every single one.

>>384526457
Don't forget making metaposts about people not talking about the game while you yourself not talking about the game
