Cyberpunk games

[Anonymous No.4294771]

ITT: high tech low life cyberpunk games. Quarantine is a fun game, it's set in a robocop like future where you run a taxi service. Not as easy as it sounds because literally everyone is trying to kill you and you're going to end up running over more than you're trying to help.

Quarantine is a beautiful, but ultimately broken game. The broken collision detection, along with the way that you bounce when hit by other cars, make the game frustrating as fuck. In the last district, I remember that there were trucks that could send you bouncing over a kilometer when they rammed into you. Furthermore, the poor collision detection could really make your life miserable when you entered bays or crossed bridges.

Still, I did love the atmosphere. The graphics were superb: the colour palette and the great texture pixelart did a lot to make Kemo feel like a bustling cyberpunk city. The changing sky textures did a lot to make the different districts feel more unique, and having the last district be set during daytime gave the whole a game a nice feeling of progression, as if the entire game until that had been one long night, and now it had finally dawned.

Funny fact: most of the graphics and designs from Quarantine were made by Ray Larabie, who would later make the car designs for GTA2 (incidentally also a cyberpunk game) and GTA London.

There's three Shadowrun games. Two set in Seattle and one in Tokyo.
The first one is a kind of film noir point and click about an amnesiac trying to survive.
Second one is an open world game about doing missions for mega corps.
Third is about a group of hirelings that gets involved in various cases.

the only ports I know of are the psx port and the 3do port. I have only seen footage from them, but they both seem to have horrible performance issues.
just look at these gameplay videos:
>3do
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wilYD4Fs8l8

>psx
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRgbIri7Dfk

as you can see, both of them run at snail's pace. furthermore, the 3do version removes the ground textures for increased performance, while the psx version censors the blood by making it green. I'd stick to the dos version.

Don't fall for the meme. It's bang average. Made worse by the fact that every so often you have to sit through an unskippable segment of a virtual David Bowie crooning.

The game is a very interesting concept, but pulled off pretty roughly. I believe contemporary reviews said the same.

My kind of thread! I've been replaying the Genesis Shadowrun lately. Once you actually get to the fun shadowruns, the game is a great time.

There is a very satisfying feeling from gathering money to get better gear so that you can finally take on Renraku for an extraction run. It's like you have to do all the legwork to prepare for a heist.

There have been a few of those, several on the GBA alone (that strange Driver game and others from the same developers). All are pretty hard to control. Maybe there is a inherent problem with physics when you make a vehicle game in a raycasting engine.

I was looking for BloodNET on here but I guess I'm the first. There is something amazing about this game, actually as equally frustrating it can be at time. Definitely not a game for those without patience. I remember getting to the end when I first played it, but now I can't even get half way without a guide. The problem is this game is so damn massive if you don't just follow a guide to the end that the amount of hours you'd sink into and replayability are ridiculous; and that's just in the meat world. Definitely recommended if you have the time and patience.

>>4296334
I always loved this game and go back to play it frequently. It's probably the closest that you can get to the source material without actually playing the table top version. What class do you prefer to play as? I usually play the decker and focus on building the best deck that I can while having a mage or samurai back me up, usually Freya and Stark.

I started having a similar problem with long and complex games and it seems this happens due to not having enough time to play for several hours several days in a row anymore. Taking notes makes remembering everything with perfect clarity if I had to stop playing for some time.

[Anonymous No.4296672]

i totally forget the name but it is definintly retro
but the game was a first person shooter about going into your computer to defeat some virus or hacker or something, the levels and the enemies were constructed based off of the files you have on your computer.

https://kotaku.com/this-game-uses-your-hard-drives-files-to-build-its-lev-1201171454
sorta like this but it was a much earlier version, and more futuristic based. I've tried searching aorund for it but I can't pull up anything.

[Anonymous No.4296678]

>>4296493
Beware that the game is based on 2nd edition rules so it's often unbalanced. Combat is also buggy.
A nice thing is that your decisions can make a difference. Especially during the midpoint of the game you get different approaches and solutions.

It's based on Group SNE's Shadowrun who made significant changes to FASA's version of Japan in order to make playing in Japan more interesting and incorporate the Japanese view of their own country.
The characters come from one of the replays but I haven't seen scans for it.

I wondered the same since the similarities are really striking, beside the much, much slower pace of DreamWeb compared to Hotline Miami. Beside the obvious top-down perspective, even in terms of (gritty) atmosphere and it's fatalistic story both games are very similar.

Does /vr/ like snatcher? I've played a bit of it on the sega CD and it's pretty good. I like it better on sega CD because it has a great english localization and the censorship is minimal compared to the sega saturn and sony playstation versions. I have heard the MSX2 has an english fan translation, but I've never tried it. Are the MSX2 and PC-8801 versions any good? What about the playstation and saturn versions?

>>4296861
Yeah I agree. It's fun to play through the different play styles and experience the multitude of ways that you can approach the game and how you progress through it.
>>4296943
Unless you like visual novels with some short light gun levels it's going to be really boring. Personally I don't mind those types of games, actually I love visual novels, but for a lot of people even if the setting and story is cool and interesting, it's often tedious to click the same 4 options until a new one comes up. I actually think that the light gun events are kind of shoe horned into the game and disrupt the pacing - it would have been better to put a choice system in when battling a Snatcher like give you 3-4 options to defend yourself and do this 3 times and you have to pick the right one each time otherwise you die. I don't know that sounds more difficult and punishing especially for having to go from sitting down and reading a bunch of text for 2 hours straight to rapidly moving, reacting and shooting shit in the blink of an eye.

[Anonymous No.4297401]

>>4297364
Yes. The game actually shows the dice being rolled like a slot machine so you can see how difficult some shots are.
One of the biggest problems is melee since you are likely to get counterattacked from capable foes. It makes the fight against the slasher very frustrating.
Remember you can adjust your combat/hacking/magic pools in the statistics screen but you can only access it during combat.
You also can't trade items between characters so be careful who buys what.
I found magic fairly pointless.

I like the Sega CD version the best of those I tried because it has neon colors that reality help build the atmosphere (unlike the muted colors of the PlayStation port) and the no additional censorship. Is the MSX2 version more primitive than the Sega CD one?

Quarantine's /trivia page on mobygames has some alleged quotes from email conversations with Ray Larabie. I can't speak for their authenticity, but I think they're legit.

>Some of the names of the characters come from Toronto clubs that hosted "Elvis Mondays". Drake, Edgewater, Beverly etc... All Toronto club names.

>Kemo was named after a Toronto drug legend. Sometime in the 80's the government developed a super powerful strain of medical marijuana for use in chemotherapy. The seeds were allegedly stolen and for a while there were reports of "superpot" called Kemo going around. Probably just a tale.

>During the course of the game you were supposed to be collecting parts of a modified hovercoil that could lift the cab to airplane height for an aerial blimp/hovercop battle. Since we were using a raycasting engine we couldn't tilt the cab which would had made for some shitty flying so it was scrapped.

It's actually a tossup between street sammy and the gator shaman.

Samurai is definitely easier to understand and use overall, and their upgrades happen pretty fluidly throughout the course of the game so outside of the beginning it never feels like I'm grinding to get a bunch of nuyen for one certain high priced item like I am for decker or shaman. That, and the fact that there aren't as many good street sams available early is rough for non samurai players. The ones that you can recruit (Winston, then Ilene and Start both later on) are extremely good though, they're likely more powerful than you by a fair amount unless you've been doing an obscene amount of karma grinding.

With that being said, shamans are highly unutilized by players even this day. Just a simple invisibility spell can make even the Renraku runs cake, as well as eliminate all the potentially harmful random events that happen while milling about.

While decking is the easiest way to make money and karma, decking itself is a rather expensive ordeal that requires hundreds of thousands of nuyen, high computer skills (need a minimum of 5 in computers with a decent deck to even stand a chance in a simple matrix run), and a bottle of aspirin around in case you frag up and get caught by a tar pit.

Personally I like gator shaman a little more because it gives me a little extra backstory that Joshua was from Florida, since we know so little of him. I'm using stories of him as kind of a legendary runner that others may talk about in a 5e campaign I'm running. I'm making it purposefully vague and giving different accounts on who my PCs talk to, but ultimately I would like for my players to maybe do a run of sorts to help out our old boy Josh at the end of it all.

I think the hate comes from before ecelebs, but i never really understood why. It's possible it's due to it being its own thing rather than a literal adaptation of the games, but even so I liked all the little references to the games like toad being a street musician who plays anti-koopa songs or big bertha "eating" Mario with a kiss. But most of all I liked how it's super Mario reimagined in a cyberpunk setting, and it does a good job at being atmospheric and not taking itself too seriously. I know about all the script changes and how It was a production hell due many director changes, but I watched it again recently and thoroughly enjoyed the movie, it's not bad. At the end of the day even without the Mario elements, it's a fun adventure cyberpunk comedy starring Hoskins, Leguizamo and Dennis Hopper

SS1 is definitely more cyberpunk than 2. Just listen to the banging soundtrack. So much better than SS2's boring "spooky" music.

Is the BladeRunner game any good?

[Anonymous No.4306807]

>>4295107
I disagree.
It's a game made when Quantic Dreams were still trying to find their niche, I guess. They played around with a LOT of different genres, a lot of which weren't pulled off responsively. It had elements from fighting games, TPS', open world mechanics, etc. It IS worth checking out, if you're pirating or if you can get it cheap during a GOG sale. It's not a meme, it's just a flawed game that owes its flaws not necessarily to its design, but in the implementation of its design.

Absolutely. It was probably one of the best games Westwood put out, arguably. The main issue with it is running in modern windows systems, and bugs.

I thought I was the only one. I hate it when games that are supposed to have suspension, tension, or whatever have music. It ruins the mood so I just turn that off.

The game is brilliant on its own merits. I still have the isos, I might put them up on a fileshare if you want. It's basically a reimagined Elite, but set on Titan's moon. It has a pretty unique atmosphere and presentation. I wish someone would do a good update to it, supposedly the original developer (Ian Martin, google his name with Hardwar) recently posted that he would do an update for next year, but he's been quiet.

The game is decent enough but they tried to make a lot of things at once and ended up with them being below average in functionality. If the game just stuck into storytelling and exploration it would have done even better.

You got FPS sections, fighting sections, I think some driving ones too? The only attractive and kinda fleshed mechanic was going into other peoples bodies and see them have different characteristics, features and lives. Some places are only accesible with certain characters but IIRC the game doesn't lock itself if you choose one over the other. For instace, there is this fighting pit where I think you can get clues to something or money and if you take a fragile character over a bulky dude then you get your ass handed because the dude fights better even if the woman is faster. FPS sections are wonky as hell. I think atmosphere is really good and nails some sense of mystery because you are technically thrown in into some body and get told you got to figure out things, soundtrack too after all it has Bowie in it.

Had to cheese that final boss because they fucking decided to not only place a boss but also make it a FPS fight... I would recommend it only because its a good kind of atmospheric game.

It was a spin-off of /co/ so they'd all have their cartoon porn there, but then all the western stuff from /d/ was forced there as well so there was a war over futa and other fetish stuff because the normies didn't like it.

But still, nothing can beat having a party member that's actually a small planet who acts in combat by the senate making decisions on what to do.

To be honest, futa took up like 95% of /d/ from about 2010-2012. I mean, I get people have fetishes, which is why you go to /d/ in the first place, but it was pretty much dominating the board to the exclusion of everything else.

Not that I'd know anything about that or anything...

Hardwar were a good time. I was actually briefly involved in an attempt to put together a fanmade sequel set on Mars back around 2002-ish. It fell apart for the usual reason; 2 art guys, about 8 idea guys, zero code guys. Nothing left of it now but some renders of bad spaceship models.
