    Shadowrun

    So, shadowrun has been released on both the 360 and PC as of yesterday, was wondering if any of you have got it.

    I'm thinking about grabbing myself a copy of the PC version when I get vista, just wandering what peoples thoughts are.

    I know there are quite a few people who think "OMG it's ****!" because it's an FPS and not an RPG, I've heard some mixed opinions, some love it, some think it's awful.

    GreekTony has it. I've seen him playing it I'd be interested to find out what its like from someone in the community too. Especially where the PC/360 connectivity is concerned.

    I heard they nerfed the PC controls slightly to make things fairer on the 360 crowd, but that could just be the rumor mill at work.

    I just read the review on gamespot, apparently both the 360 and PC players have autoaim? That doesn't sound right to me.

    the PC version has autoaim if you are using the 360 controller.

    It looks ok... ish? "counterstrike with magic" according to Gamespot.

    It's pretty much an online only game, and the online multiplayer uses Live for windows, a Vista feature, thats why you need Vista to play it (same with Halo 2).

    And if you don't as well.

This might frustrate PC mouse-and-keyboard users, as it feels like your aim is being taken out of your hands a bit; and if you've been playing PC shooters with any regularity, you probably don't need the help. But regardless of how weird it can feel, it does at least feel balanced.

    Damn! I was looking forward to that game as well.

    I'm really hating the current PC gaming market nowadays, all it wants to do is dumb things down for the console market, complete with their silly controllers

    If I wanted to play console games I'd buy them for the console, not a PC!

    For me personally, I hate the multi player. It has some cool touches, such as being able to grow a tree of life which replenishes your health, but it generally involves jumping up and down like a looney whilst everyone else leaps around to avoid gun fire.

    The fact that you can run around really quickly and warp through walls means that the action is so fast paced that it's just frustrating.

    Just my opinion though, and I haven't played the single player.

    Is there even a single player? I thought it was all about the multiplayer.

    Might wait for a demo or a few trusted reviews if it's not so great. But according to a few beta testers it's great fun.

    I think the single player side of Shadowrun is similar to Battlefield 2 where you just play against bots on multiplayer maps. The achievements just say 'Chapter x Training'. Don't quote me on that though.

    Yep, you're right! Not impressed at all, still going to give it more time though, it might grow on me. Plus...I've been playing against bots not against humans.
