Any one buying? I think I will pick up the PC version, although I am tempted to get one for my Xbox also, just so I can see what its like playing KB&M to Gamepad.
Wait, do I need to have Vista to play against Xbox people?

Getting the 360 one.
Yes, you need Vista to play Shadowrun. Any of it. Won't run in XP.

I think it's brilliant. The game costs $15 less than the 360 version.
But you need a bleeding edge OS.
That's just awesome in every way. Heh.

How many hardcore gamers do you know who run Vista? Personally, I know 1. I think its a crap strategy.

Hey...why aren't we moving any copies of these new games?
Who cares that a shitload of old games, hardware and peripherals don't run under Vista. NEW GAMES!
Maybe for dx10 only games. Maybe. SP1, bitches.

Grar Snarl Hate!!
So many things wrong with this game. So. Many. Things. I don't get fanboi-angry about pretty much anything (well ... maybe the NGE for about a week), but this game just pisses me off on so many levels.
(no sarcasm here, honest) Schild, I hope you can explain this for me. I played through a whole bunch of the Beta, and it really was (imho) CS with elves. Some of the evolved tactics were interesting, and I liked their map design ... but how is this worth $50/$60?

I think they are hoping to sell it to the 360 crowd more than the PC crowd. I mean, they have to be right? Right?

I really do NOT want to be on the gamepad side in a game that is KB&M vs Gamepad. But I also dont want to use Vista yet. Way to go MS.

Well, if you're shelling out the cash and shit to run the game on fucking Vista,and are willing to deal with the bullshit, don't you sort of deserve the KB+M advantage?  |

I can't comprehend the thought process behind this game.
"Hey guys, let's develop a game with a license that has a cult following behind it, but we'll completely dash that following's hopes by turning it into an FPS!"
"Yeah, and we could make it only multiplayer! No one plays single player games anymore!"
"But you know, we can't make the market for the PC version too broad, lets limit it to 5% of the installed base of PC gamers!"
"Yay!"

The reason why Shadowrun on the PC is DX 10-only is because Microsoft wants people to upgrade to Vista. That is where they make their money.

I haven't been keeping up with the game but back during E3 they had things tweaked with auto-aim and crap like that so that the Xbox 360 gamepad people actually were beating the PC players more times than not. |

You lie. They took out mouse sensitivity on the PC version. Balancing for the win!

As in, it was a fixed rating which could not be changed? |

Alright. I picked this up along with Forza 2 yesterday.
Schild, I'll play with you.
Other people need to get this too, so I am motivated to sit at my 360 and play.

The way I understood it was, 360 users get aim-assist, and PC users get pixel-perfect shot accuracy. The balance, as you say, is that PC users 'can't' swivel and turn faster than their console cousins. Hence, no mouse sensitivity. Damnit, the runners are such pansies too. Argent would have had half of one of these teams for breakfast, and then picked his teeth with the artifact. |

I'm debating between picking it up now or waiting for the inevitable price drop.

:D Wouldn't be the first time I've been hit over Shadowrun. I know I'm a giant dork about this crap. I'm just very invested in the game world, and still young enough to get my hackles raised about such things. I look forward to a future of cynical apathy. As a note, Microsoft sent me a copy in the mail. ... a copy for Vista. An OS I don't have. And a version that doesn't actually work. Kuality. |

Well.
I still haven't opened mine. Trying to finish Atelier Iris 3 for a review.
On the fence though since I heard after-game stats never made it into the game. I mean, whut?
Edit: Scratch that. I don't care that much about stats. I'll open it tonight and brush up my skills for an hour or so in bot matches. Probably try to get some online in this weekend.

Why even release the PC version. It seems more than doomed. It like they are trying to get horrible word of mouth from people who buy it.

This is what I'm fricking saying. They've killed FASA for sucking so badly, and they're never going to make another SR game now because this has been such a shit-vortex. For the love of all that is holy, why did they do this?

Hrm, I was totally making a joke by saying it doesn't have mouse sensitivity. Must get in the habit of colouring things.

The mouse sensitivity thing may be a bit overstated, but from the mouse/keyboard players POV they *are* 'gimped' to fight 'fair' against 360 players. Eg, the turn speed on your mans is mighty slow compared to CS.

Zonk, if it was called Splorgenborgen, you probably would have liked it.
"Holy Crap, Splorgenborgen is CS + Magic.
As such, I'm just not feeling the hate.
Edit: Also, obviously not made for PC Gamers. The only thing I can see is that you really wanted it to be made for PC gamers and that's raping your sensibilities a bit.
