What's up with the throwing grenades aim in this...I set that orange mark on them and they sometime throw it way pass them or way too short...also,when you go in the decking area,since I chose a troll,I never got to use it but now all of a sudden I need that to open a door,and the guy is alone in there...ton of ennemies,limited inventory space,no refills on the way duting a long battle...some mechanics in this game are awful.

It's an RPG, and you'll notice that 'throwing accuracy' is a skill you have to increase.
and I think the decker hacking and the team needing to cover him against the enemy waves was actually deliberate. They encourage you to plan ahead.
edit: and for those of you who like the game, don't forget to check the Steam Workshop for addon fan-made campaigns. Some of them are pretty fun.

You need points in throwing skill to be accurate with grenades. Coyote is pretty good at it.
Hire a decker to do the decking for you.
If you're on Hard or Very Hard, consider ratcheting down to Normal. Very Hard especially is impossible for some builds.

Wow, SNES Shadowrun mod. I guess buying the iOS version is not a good idea if I want to play that.

Finally picked this up from gog today and put a couple hours into it.
I really like it. Yeah the UI sucks. Yeah it's really linear.
...but I'm loving every minute.
Lots to look forward to with the editor and user generated campaigns and all.
We need like a top 5 to check out or something.

Fuck this needing a decker to operate the elevator doors crap,it's like a bad escort mission,why?...what happens if I try one of the workshop games,even if I havent finished the main campaign(tried 3 times now this long ass section,only to have the decker die and needing to restart all over)...does it mess around with that...? will it affect my save from the main campaign.?
Thank you so much I was looking for a thread like that but I couldn't find it!

Nope. Rest assured I'll post if I hear one.
I think its there already...I had no problem per say,it saved at every change of locations,except the fight I am in now,that has a save midway but the 2 sections are very long and my decker dies each time and you need him to open the elevators...I would have to restart the save before this section and get more resurrect things instead of useless grenades and the like,now that I know whats coming but that would set me back a good 2 hours...
Unless you guys mean a save anywhere feature.

They are talking about Save Anywhere.
It's coming with Dragonfall, which is the last week of January.

I'll update the OP with Dragonfall stuff when it releases, but I don't know much about it besides Berlin and Saeder-Krupp having a big role(presumably).

Man, I wish it was coming out today! My wife is going out of town and I'll have the house to myself. It would have been the perfect weekend!

I agree, but almost no one mentioned it in the GotY thread. I think maybe two other people besides myself listed it. It was my #3 behind Soul Hackers and SMTIV.
RPGs are slow burners with public opinion, maybe because they take several times longer to get into and to play through than most games. This always seemed true to me during the last golden age, when the infinity engine games were coming out in fairly quick succession. The classics often take a while to rise to the top.
On that note, gotta try this sometime soon!
GAF has terrible taste in games. It is known.

Eh, I disagree. The vast majority just have a huge preference in mainstream titles. Sad but true. There is a devout following of niche stuff here, though, and I always appreciate that.
Drakengard 3 and Deception IV have gotten a fair amount of attention here, they barely make a ripple anywhere else.
There's also the save patch some of us are waiting on. I had the game for awhile but don't care to start until that's out.
After MGS4 getting the GotY nod even with a years late revote I can see why some can be negative there though.

I don't get the uproar over that. It was a pretty great game. I wouldn't have voted for it as my GOTY had I played it then, but I can respect it.
It admittedly wasn't terrible, but it was a pretty bad story finale and that dragged the second half of the game's gameplay down with it too. At least ME3 was mostly good on the smaller scale story stuff and the gameplay stayed at a consistent level even if weaker I thought than 2.

I already regret putting it at only #10.
I'd disagree pretty strongly. Other than the first 2 chapters, the gameplay felt forced and tired. Not to mention one of the worst narratives I've had the displeasure of experiencing. I mean, people shit on MGS2's story, but it has nothing on the nonsensical trolling BS that was apparent in MGS4.

I loved MGS2 and it remains my favorite, so I'm no stranger to crazy opinions.
MGS4 was flawed, but I enjoyed it.
So, Shadowrun!

Stand alone, as far as I know? The story is stand alone, entirely new setting.

Ooh, miniguns. OP updated.
Looks like more of the same - which is a good thing!
I do hope that this or following Shadowrun games become more complex than the first game.
Hoping to see co-op in the future (not mmo though), so you can get closer to the feel of a PnP game.
Cool. I can't wait to play it.
Repost for new page
Glad we now know when it will be available.
Bummed that it is one month away.
Guess it is for the best
EDIT: mayhaps someone should make a new thread for the release date and trailer of Dragonfall

I am on Steam right now and I dont see a pre-purchase or anything...
I will try and finish the main campaign before Dragonfall hits I guess...a new save feature wont help me at all where I am stuck at now though...I just need the courage to go back 2 hours and restart that section with better stuff in my inventory and I should be good.
