Shadowrun But More Importantly the Incompetence of Mankind.
definedglory | 2:20 PM on 05.31.2007 7 comments


After listening to people totally bash Shadowrun because it doesn't have a single player campaign, it doesn't keep true to it's roots, and it's a clone of CS with magic. I decided to buy it for myself, well of course I had it pre-ordered like every other game out there even though only 10 people pre-ordered it at my EB Games. Well I was able to get a used copy before the UPS guy even delivered the shipment of then new releases, but that's a whole other story. When I finally got around to playing it I found myself more frustrated than ever at the learning curve it had but once I got used to the fact that I could teleport through walls, fly, and throw seeds that grew marijuana plants I realized that I loved the game. Now of course when I started the online games I was pretty bad but as I played more of course I became increasingly better. So I just have to be honest I think the game is awesome, of course it is no game of the year by far but for me it provides something other than WoW to play with other people. Now here is my gripe with it and this actually has to do with the community. I posted on the Shadowrun message board that I was looking for a clan well I got many replies and I picked a clan to join, well the next day I get 10 messages saying that I was banned from their clan for life as I apparently was in their clan when I made no such comment on that. But the worst thing is that apparently the clan I am in now has a rival clan who I also 'joined' so now I'm getting all this hate mail about how I am a deceiving, horrible, two-faced, person. And all this for a simple little post on a message board, what is the world coming to?

That my friend, is one reason why I really don't post on forum boards / message boards. Destructoid is definitely an exception. People can seriously be retarded and sometimes it just gets beyond irritating.

lol clans are stupid. I try to stay far away from such stupidity. and damnit... Why does everyone keep posting such awesome stuff about this game. It makes me want to buy it more and more, but I don't have the cash right now and i have to wait a day or two to be able to "borrow" it from my work. >.< But ya... the controls are weird at first, but after that... The game is INSANE! I freaking love it.

People are good at bitching about games that aren't out yet. I'm hearing very mixed opinions, but I might have to try this game.

Haha I agree with all of you. Clans are stupid but I do like making fun of the people who create these ranks and these stupid laws that I have to abide by or I'll suffer the wrath of the clan-leader-person. But the thing is that for some reason all my friends that were on Live ended their Gold subscription so I have no idea on who to play with.
