It doesn't help that my Ghostbusters DVDs seems to have wandered off during a move. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

You be very surprised on how many students I tutored who have never seen Star Wars, Ghostbusters, the original Superman, Tim Burton's Batman, Full Metal Jacket, etc.

We had a lecture about the Cold War, only to find out the vast majority of the class was born after it.... I asked in the tutoring session who won the Vietnam War to get a feel on what they know. Their response was "Us?"..... They only know the Vietnam War from Call of Duty and Forrest Gump. Back on topic, first game I bought from Xbox live and I am loving it! My next Shadowrun character will be Rex Power Colt, and all the 80s cheese that goes with it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Well, there's their confusion, Vietnam was a "Police Action" that had so much action a draft had to be done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

By all that is holy I just discovered the trailer for this game.
I literally screamed with joy when the protagonist was named (scared the hell out of my dog) and immediately hit buy. I don't even care if the game play sucks, I am a hardcore 80's awesomeness junky. Stupid download is taking too long, and I don't have enough beer. |

I only got a few hours in last night but it did two things right away. 1) Made me laugh until tears on several parts and 2) Made me realize I haven't finished Borderlands 2 yet, and that I need to do that.
Love the pistol, wish I had more ammo for it. |

QUOTE (Remnar @ May 9 2013, 08:20 PM) Love the pistol, wish I had more ammo for it. Really? Hated it. (But never used it after a while - maybe it gets better) I was more into the Sniper-Rifle with exploding Bullets and the quad-barreled auto-shotgun *g* Well, i just finished the game yesterday and wanted to talk about it. Luckily there was a thread here *g*. I liked the game. Not all of it, not even most of it. I played it in a very strange order: First i completed EVERYTHING on the side (The Garrisons, the side-quests, the collections). THAT was a boring and generic but playable. But after that i began the Main-Quest (As a full Lvl 30, 4th Generation CYBER-COMMANDO) and i have to say: It was some of the terribly written, crappiest, funniest and awesomest shit i have ever played. Now... i began to think about why it was so fun for me. Far-off year 2007: Suspension of disbelief challenged, but not broken. I think this has to do with my age. When i played the game i was... like 15 again. So 16 years ago. Sure. 2007 wasn't THAT far in the future. But i also watched 80's movies on television when i was that age, of course. And the mood there was so different. so i was hanging between the realistic futuristic outlook and the weird retro-future. And i liked that old style more. Short Shadowrun interlude: This is why i am still ok with having a comlink be a cell-phone which weighs half a kilogramm and Data being measured in HUGE mega-pulse blocks for stuff like audio and video. Just because it is untrue in real life doesn't mean it is weird in-game. Plot-Twists with no foreshadowing and making no sense (Spoilers - don't read if you want to be pleasantly surprised in the game) [ Spoiler ] These parts were really like an odd 80ies movie were they lacked vision, funds... maybe went through different scrips, writers, directors or had to "borrow" footage from other movies. And at least the last half hour was just great. [ Spoiler ] So i can recommend the game just because of the main-quest. It is an example of a game designed to make you smile and feel good. |

It is a bit like Bulletstorm. Only that the cutscenes are like SNES, "slightly animated" cutscenes (But with full and awesome voice acting though)
Do you remember the "Waggleton P. Tallylicker" -Sequence in Bulletstorm? That is the feeling. Not really the gameplay is what is fun... it is more the: "LOOK WHAT I AM DOING. I Can't believe someone let me do this" which is fun. And at the start someone "Hacks" a Missile-control mainframe. It begins with: "FISTLINK enabled", if i remember correctly, and involved rewriting the motherboard and shit *g*. |

I must have issues because I can't hit a damned thing with the sniper rifle.. it has no crosshairs...
I've finally got the minigun, and I basically just spam that until shotguns are necessary. I'll still use the silenced pistol quite a bit if I'm sneaking about and don't want to be bothered with sneaking up to a lone enemy. Quick 3-round headshot and move on with my life. I'm doing what you did though, mostly wandering about and killing various animals and clearing garrisons. Most of my main quests involve a small amount of sneaking, saying "F-IT" and massacring with minigun, shotgun and grenade spam. Lots of grenade spam. My two favorite parts thus far were the hacking cutscene and Rex's response to when the doctor offeres him the syringe. Also, if you haven't read all the data in the refrence library and stuff (animal, character, weapon descriptions etc) you really should, freaking hillarious. |

Just because it is untrue in real life doesn't mean it is weird in-game. I'm definately the same here. I never liked SR 4th ED's attempts to get with the times with commlinks and wireless. Personally, Shadowrun's appeal was very much for that 80's flair and technology. I loved that it was horribly outdated compared to our modern times in some sense, yet wildly advanced in others. It never hurt my immersion. Making it more realistic hurts my immersion far more. Then again, I absolutely love early pulp science fiction as well. I must have read Burroughs' Barsoom series a dozen times, and I'm even now re-reading Andre Norton's Solar Queen series. |

This is literally the greatest fucking video game I have ever played.
QUOTE I must have issues because I can't hit a damned thing with the sniper rifle.. it has no crosshairs... Explosive ammo really helps. Kobracon's my favorite weapon hands down. Proper assault cannon. If only it had a silencer. |

Finished the main parts this weekend. The last level is ... epic. I think my girlfriend thought I was crazy due to the fits of giggles and outright laughing out loud for the last bit. Turns out I guess it's a graphics bug on the Kobracon, its apparently supposed to have crosshairs? I got explosive ammo and it didin't really matter where the bullet actually hit anyhow. The bow is cheating though, it's two awesome to use fairly, pretty sure its considered a warcrime.
So basically it's like the writers of the game decided to make a game as perfectly, awesomly, tailrored to fit me and my mentality as possible. Bravo! I want MOAR! Edit for grammar failure. |
