Let's face it, Shadowrun is no more/less then an attempt use a D&D type system to cash in on Cyberpunk.
Shadowrun Returns is quite good at what it does and lots of fun. But don't expect the same "grit" you would in Cyberpunk 2020/2077.
This.
Shadowrun is the "my little pony" of cyberpunk.
If CDPR do their job right, the athmosphere will be nothing close to what Shadowrun is, here we're gonna have a pure-breed cyberpunk ride, staying grounded in reality.
I liked Shadowrun Return tho, but I'd prefer CDPR to work as hard they can on their "Cyberpunk" licence, no need to add fairy tales stuff when it's already so good like this.
I try to imagine a CP2020/77 setting in my country and it gets all political, I don't know if I could do that with PnP players.
I have currently dropped this game (Shadowrun returns).
First of all it have very s The characters are walking stereotypes. I'm corrupt cop, I'm angry girl with a past, I have to revenge my fallen comrade. Borinnnnnnnng.
And not so related question, BTL and braindance are pretty much the same thing, right?
YCheck out DragonFall - it was much better. More open, less cliched story.
I think of Dragonfall as their apology for what came with the release.
100 times better.
We’re excited to announce Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director’s Cut. Inspired by other passionate, community-focused developers like CD Projekt RED (who continued to improve and add to their Witcher titles post-launch), we decided to make an even bigger & better Dragonfall for you guys. The Shadowrun team has been hard at work taking the existing Dragonfall campaign and making it even better - adding new features, missions, art, and more.
And we’ll be releasing it as a standalone title on Steam, GOG and the Humble Store.
What’s more, as a continued “thank you” for your support, the Director’s Cut will be FREE to all Backers and to all owners of the expansion version of Dragonfall. If you’ve played Dragonfall already, this should be a great opportunity to return to the streets of Berlin and enjoy the improved campaign all over again - to try a new archetype and make different decisions. And if you haven’t played Dragonfall yet, this will be the definitive version of the game to dive into.
We’ll be talking more about the specifics later next month - but we wanted you, our Backers, to be the first to know what we’re working on. The Director’s Cut will be released sometime in September.
Stay tuned for a full announcement in August. Until then - from the entire Shadowrun team - thank you again for your continued support, and for your help making Shadowrun Returns and Dragonfall a reality.
Haven't even had the time to play Dragonfall. Nice to hear/read I'll be getting it for free as an owner of the regular version. I would have liked better a DLC/Campaign with a new setting. Tenochtitlan sounds like an interesting setting for a new campaign. Hope they do it at some point.
ONLY owners of the current version of Dragonfall get the free update, not those that only own the basic game.
