Just bought Dragonfall here. After a handful of missions, I can tell it is lightyears better than the total disappointment Shadowrun Returns was for me : better story (that one was not THAT hard to achieve, Dead Man's Switch had a straightforward, dull and totally un-imaginative scenario), better characters, better setting... That is, the items management is still as shitty as in Dead Man's Switch. You can't even give items to your teammates or use the items they have in inventory for quest purposes (one of my teammates had an item I could have given to a quest NPC but nope, you can't, for an obscure reason. This is just silly). But overall, it is a far, FAR better experience than its predecessor.
About Hong Kong, I'll probably wait for a 5 euros sale, just like I did for Dragonfall. I hope they get rid of the bad points Dragonfall carried over from the original Shadowrun Returns, this time - like the non-existent party management and leveling up. Focusing on one character may be closer to the P&P version, but in videogame RPGs, I prefer to manage the whole party than just the main character. Just my two cents on it.

It's what used to be called Shadowrun Online, and was a separate Kickstarter. It's made by a different team of ex-FASA employees and instead of sourcebook writers relied on actual book writers (i.e. Shadowrun-based fiction) to provide the plot. The misleading title was replaced because it's not so much "Shadowrun Online" as it is "Shadowrun Co-Op".
Videogames do not make you a worse person... than you already are.

Noelemahc: The oft-made comparisons as "DAI in space" are apt, but it should be amended to "...but blander".

gmandam: It looks amazingly bland

Axalon: I notice Robotech is on Netflix. Any good?

Axalon: I suppose not then.

Kynetyk: Robotech is very of its time. It suffers from stitching together three stories, but there's other good stuff to it. It's more mature than most shows from the early 80s. There's a lot of explicit death going on.

Kynetyk: there are also some surprisingly deep themes, but the voice acting and editing are pretty hit and miss.

Noelemahc: If you ask me, you're better off skipping Robotech and watching its pieces separately, preferrably the first (Super Dimension Fortress Macross, which spawned the decades-long Macross franchise, a trendsetter in Transforming Mecha genre) and the third

Noelemahc: (Genesis Climber Mospeada, dealing with the same themes as Battlestar Galactica Reimagined except as a rock-music-centric anime about mecha with a crossdressing rock star tritagonist that may have been the catalyst for me figuring out my sexuality way back

Noelemahc: Sooo the first Quake Champions Closed Beta wave I got invited to kinda fizzled, didn't get to get ingame even once, and judging from the Interwebs, a huge chunk of other hopefuls didn't either. BethSoft dun goofed, yo.

Noelemahc: New beta weekend, got the game to run, and... it's Quake 3, just on a spiffier engine and with a literal SHIT-TON of features borrowed from Overwatch (the entire vanity unlock drop mechanism, for example). It's... a weird feeling.

gmandam: I've lost friend codes cause of changing mem cards. Old friends, can you send me them again?

Axalon: Oh lawd 40k's gone and woken up Guilliman and the final Eldar god's been created. Truly the end times are approaching. Next thing you know Leman Russ and the Khan are going to show up just in time for the Tyranids to eat everyone.

Lunatic LK47: *Crickets chirp* Where did everyone go? Only podcasts seem active.

Axalon: Probably off to discord or something. Youtube is still active too.

Kynetyk: I can only speak for myself, but articles are still coming. EWC videos still coming. Seems like life hit a bunch of us pretty hard all at once.
