QUOTE (Glyph @ Aug 1 2013, 09:30 PM)  Honestly, the only reason I haven't completely written the new edition off is that the new edition will displace SR4, just like SR4 displaced SR3, and if I never make the switch, I'll be more marginalized on the forums. I like the rules-related discussions and banter, and I don't want to cut myself off from them. But right now, the rules are a mess. I'll wait until it is at least playable, even if it will still be bad. Yeah, this is hitting a little close to home for me. Except I dont think the rules are really worth putting up with, not anymore. |

I gotta say, man, this is pretty funny, remembering that I said pretty much the same thing about SR4. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (Long time no talk, BTW.) |

QUOTE (Glyph @ Aug 1 2013, 07:30 PM) I'll see how I feel after the errata, and maybe some splatbooks, but right now, the rules seem like they set out to take away everything fun from the game. Pointless nerfs to everything, and ill-conceived rules such as the implementation of wireless, mages risking physical Drain from using their Edge, and keeping simple actions but saying you can only attack once a pass anyways, etc. Honestly, the only reason I haven't completely written the new edition off is that the new edition will displace SR4, just like SR4 displaced SR3, and if I never make the switch, I'll be more marginalized on the forums. I like the rules-related discussions and banter, and I don't want to cut myself off from them. But right now, the rules are a mess. I'll wait until it is at least playable, even if it will still be bad. That seems a bit unfair. I played a quick run over the weekend and it went better than most. |

I'm waiting until the errata comes out and the core rulebook PDF gets fixed before I try to run SR5.
