ShadowRun. But not the shitty Sega version.

>>3853682
Are you kidding? Genesis version was great. It felt more sandboxy than the SNES version and the freelancer elements of the game were fantastic. If you liked being a decker you could repeatedly jack in to randomly generated data nodes whenever you liked to do matrix runs and steal data to sell.

I started playing Beneath A Steel Sky about a decade ago when it was free on GoG. I got nowhere. Was I just dumb, or is it a really hard game?

>>3855374
Did you read the manuals?

NOT RETRO but when does VA-11 HALL-A get fun? I've been playing it for 3 hours and so far it's just a book with occasional clicking on icons to make drinks.

>>3855395
That's it. That's the game. It's a visual novel, you didn't buy it for the gameplay. If you did, you're an idiot.

>>3855379

>>3854972

Not really.

I'm not asking when the game switches genres, I'm asking when it gets fun.

>>3855404
There's two manuals for the game wich contain lots of information needed to play, like character profiles or ingame documents

>>3855436
Yeah, SS2 is far better and can do cool stuff like running around at sanic speed melee killing everything.

>>3855524

Genesis is definitely better gameplay, but SNES has better story.

>>3856506

I dunno.
I always enjoyed SS2 as well as Deus ex. (the first although I DO wish tranks worked faster)
Somehow I never felt comfortable with SS1 controls - there was something slightly "off"

>>3856682
They released a modern version a while ago with improved controls and mouse look

Nah. Steampunk is gay and everyone knows it (even/especially the people who participate in it). It's retro-futuristic memeshit that makes no sense.

Cyberpunk is near-futurism that actually makes a moderate amount of sense, and its aesthetic gets modified constantly based on what's going on in the world right now, re: technology, government, social trends, etc.

Cyberpunk is all about "this shit could actually happen in the next 50 years". Steampunk is a hotel conference room full of fags pretending corsets are pragmatic and electricity never existed.

I liked stumbling around and piecing the story together in the Genesis version, especially once you get the entire IP address and hack into that to get more information. That blew me away right there, I didn't expect it to turn to that.

>>3854159
I never really thought of Armored Core as cyberpunk until you even brought it up which is odd because it totally fits it with all the bleak look at the future full of corporations sending mercs to do their dirty work against rival companies.

I didn't like it as much. Maybe because I didn't play it back in the day so I have no nostalgia for it, or maybe because it lost some of it's magic. That said, it's worth a play for sure, but I wouldn't pay much for a copy of it.

>>3862728
Steampunk is probably the least punk. Even atompunk and dieselpunk is more punk than steampunk.

>>3862696
That's because cyberpunk is yet to go mainstream while steampunk did years ago.

It's essentially exactly what you described, a fascination with retro 80s and 90s aesthetic. Vaporpunk to me sounds fitting if we're talking about an aesthetic based off of retro sci-fi style.

The first two Wipeout games have a bit of a gritty cyberpunk feel to them. Especially tracks like Korodera, Talon's Reach, Firestar and Gare d'Europa.The acid techno soundtrack drives this feeling home as well. Wipeout 3 feels less gritty and dark but I feel like it depicts a bleak, sterile and realistic take on what the future's going to be like.

I had both back in the day (Syndicate on Amiga 1200, Wars on PC).

Wars lost a lot of the charm of the original and the levels felt cold and sterile but goddamn there was some awesome weaponry and the building destruction was great. It was fun to seek out the banks and level them to steal all the cash.

this.
Cyberpunk's definition isn't limited to aesthetics, but also its themes which are usual criticisms of consumerism and classism.
Steampunk was just let's throw gears on random shit and see what works.

>>3865219
Crimson Skies?

>>3854972
In places. The problem is SS1's aesthetic has aged like fucking ass whereas SS2's atmosphere has stayed.

>>3877708
Sometimes for the worse. Sometimes for the better.
Early adopters probably didn't too much in the way of prophesying and future world building just figured Gibson got it right and dove straight into making stories for the setting.
Writers tend to be more tech illiterate, so Gibson basically handed them a whole new genre template and explained some of the rules of that world to them as it were.
It's not really much different from how basically 90% of fantasy is basically Tolkien / Tolkien extended / Tolkien rebooted.
Lord of The Rings created a large world, a genre, showed the stuff and explained the rules and the people who don't know a shit ton of languages and mythology just used that template.

>>3877958
I think the appear of a lot of cyberpunk is how strangely it ages. How we can look back at Neuromancer and laugh at the part where they all need to use pay phones even though they're packing all sorts of cybernetic implants.

>I think the appear of a lot of cyberpunk is how strangely it ages.

Not really for me. Cyberpunk is basically just focused, high concept sci-fi in places with a heavy dose of atmosphere and "cool" factor. There was a point where "duude the future's gonna suck but it'll look cooool" to the slightly more modern "yeah now's kinda the future so it's what imagine shit'll be like in 20-30 years, but it's not as far-fetched".

There was a point where Cyberpunk went from far out stuff to slightly more believable and grounded stuff. Personally I'd point to Ghost in the Shell as a good barometer for when that happened. The first movie.

>>3860902
Armored Core also has the Human Plus subplot, where human pilots are given cybernetic/surgical enhancements that help them perform better as AC Pilots.

It fits extremely neatly into the Cyberpunk genre. Also the music is kickass techno that would not sound out of place in one of the Matrix films.

>>3869306
Try Roll20, or even just IRC. Both are fine, the only real advantage Roll20 has over IRC though is the ability to display and edit character sheets as a group.

>>3873363
>Using cripplechan over lain
