And thanks to the folks who helped me do like 4 things at once today with a review, and let's plays, without me getting in the way.

Man i just love how brutally honest you are, even the little things like "hit like if you enjoyed, hit dislike if you didn't" are so nice to hear these days from reviewers. Good review, ty for upload.
***** Thanks grim!
+Grim .Steel I was just about to write that I loved the direct and brutal review style. No nonsense deliverance. I like it!
The exterior design of the subway[MTR] stations look almost exactly like the ones we have here in HK, the speaker announcement speech inside the stations are the SAME. The soundtrack uses a mix of chinese music instruments. The districts don't look much like HK but hell it's sci-fi so they might as well go crazy with those designs, it's not a bad thing.
They really did put some effort into making it "feel" like Hong Kong.
I was one of the Kickstarter backers on this one, and I regret nothing. These are a kind of niche thing that isn't going to appeal to everyone, and it's obvious that certain compromises have been made due it's limited budget, but the Shadowrun games are still fantastic and frankly offer a more engaging and interesting experience than many of the far more expensive "AAA" titles.
Sorry it reset back to 480p. Give it a moment.
AngryCentaurGaming just wondering if you ever played Jagged alliance 1 or 2 ? I think you would enjoy the mechanics. Top review though Karak.
I would love to play a FPS open world RPG set in the Shadowrun universe.
Frankly I'm getting depressed that the next CD Projekt Red game will be a Cyberpunk license and not a Shadowrun license. Can you just imagine... Can you imagine...
+Groaznic Cyberpunk license is awesome as well, no need to depress over that
Can't fucking wait, and it's one year away or more... fml
I was gm and played both games back when they were released and while Shadowrun seemed to have great new world, grittier Cyberpunk with its style and overall world walked over it. Style over matter, easy.
Nihil Fr geez my man. Hope you’re doing well enough to see it out next year !
Seriously, you give the best reviews, with the majority of the big name reviewers being bought out, your reviews are very much appreciated!
Thanks for your Review AngryCentaurGaming , this was my first time watching one of your reviews, I am looking for future reviews :)
Kyle Gregson You bet
I loved the first two entries-- Dragonfall especially (no surprise there) but I wasn't even aware there was a third installment. O_O Thanks for the heads up and great, honest review!
Hey, just wondering --- what exactly is the correct order of this series? I'm trying to get into it but I'm not quite sure where to start.
The order is -
Shadowrun Returns
Shadowrun: Dragonfall
Shadowrun: Hong Kong
Thank you!
Just look at release dates fam xD
Stephen Colbert doing game reviews is definitely an unexpected move
I really wish it was more non-linear allowing you to do lots of side missions and explore various locations. Still a good game though.
Hey Karak do you have any suggestions on how I can help make your channel grow (I'm talking on a massive scale here) it is an injustice that your quality content does not receive the attention it deserves! Cheers
bought this game day it came out i love old school rpgs. Not to mad about reading the entire game i just do it like a book and give each character a voice in my head lol
Great review and excellent writing as usual. Always was interested in getting into the Shadowrun series but I haven't had the time, patience, or PC for it.
KageMaru10g Wow your back man. I JUST about pm'ed you on the other site to see if you had stroked out on me brother!
+AngryCentaurGaming lol yeah I've been around just busy. Trying to catch up on your videos now, really appreciate the work you put into all of this man.
This review tipped me to buy the game. For the price I paid of $29.99, the dollar to fun ratio is well worth it. I agree with Karak that there are a lot of things that could be improved like adding voice over and maybe more variation in the soundtrack since it is such a long game. But overall, I find myself totally immersed in the world and each character had things to say that I actually found interesting. The turn based combat is a blast and the world and atmosphere gripped me in a way I haven't been by any game for a while. I agree with Karak, this is worth a buy if you like turn based action with a rich story.
agreed
If you already haven't, buy Dragonfall. It's a gem.
Your honesty shows no bounds. Another good review. :)
Steven Lornie THanks!
Haven´t played this game, but after seeing this, I´m going to give it a try!
Thanks for the review.
henriqueam You bet
hey Karak, I was wondering if your gonna be doing an MGSV TPP review?
Matt Smith i should hope so!!! I think that game will redefine gamin gin many ways
Cool, knew nothing about this game until I heard Gus mention it on The Patch. Might pick it up. Seems like a good "chill" game to immerse in.
Solid, intelligent review. Good job.
+Jim Slav thanks
Great Review....thanks. I wish there was co-op ( but ho well.
Rectal computer...I think I need an upgrade?
just completed this along with the bonus campaign. amazing game. its a pity many wont play it.
Hmm...that amount of reading, given the fact I do a ton for work, probably tips this as a no for me.
But the atmosphere looks immersive. Maybe not to DX:HR levels, but intriguing.
Great review as always.
honestly the amount of reading in this is large but needed to create a good atmosphere and to love the characters. think of it like a really big book
Best reviewer I've ever seen. I can't say whether he's right or wrong about the game, cos I haven't played it yet. I like the to-the-point style. Very effective and (most importantly) respectful of my (the viewer's) time.
Two thumbs up!
+ZeroTheHero thanks
Damn i love yours dwarf character
Pillars and pathfinder are like sister company while original sins are cousin a very close relative.
Hopefully you can review all of them and include narnia pleaseeee. No TH-camr have ever done it. Include this
I'm a huge fan of the Snes game....does this feel similar to that one in mood, characters, grittiness, and gameplay?
+AJ Singh yes, even better on Hong Kong, about equal with Dragonfall, original Returns didn't quite reach it but was enjoyable.
Flywheel Shyster thx
+AJ Singh Returns had a showstopping appearance by none other than Jake Armitage of the SNES game, for what it's worth.
Jason Chrapliwy I didn't play that one
Really excelelnt review that. Well done.
+nicg1883 Thanks Nicg
You know you can hold a button to see what is interactable
Great Review!
+Lazzarus thanks
Excellent review
AvelynMonk thaks monk
So many good games, no clue what to play.
+Noble “Dedicated Dark” Alfred agreed brother
+Noble “Dedicated Dark” Alfred haha. especially this year...
how do you managed to play so many games and give a great in-depth review?
Wondering were will Harebrained Schemes takes us next.
Agustin Mendez Necropolis. Look it up!
Agustin Mendez A new Battletech game is their next project. The Kickstarter should be launching soon.
Damn you got this up fast
I was VERY late to SR:HK because I bought and played Shadowrun Returns. Talk about dissapointing! I bought it in 2013. It looked and played like a game from 2003..but I thought "Oh well. It'll probably have dozens of hours of gameplay, great replay-ability, complex moral choices, lots of character equipment and team building options". What a joke. My $20 got me what I would have expected to pay $2.99 for on the Google Play store.
Hong Kong is MUCH more to what I expected in a modern Shadowrun reboot.
If this is Hong Kong why do they use the ¥ sign?
+MrPriego1 Nuyen. It's the global currency in the game.
Please bring this to ipad, it's perfect for it
You write funny shit, man!
No Native controller support :(
wolfflow Is a given for cRPGs like Shadowrun
Wait for a sale impo
Nothing beats XCOM2 (for this type of game). Not even Hard West.
Listen guys, shadowrun is shadowrun. A gritty steampunk novel, IF u like that sort of thing.
I liked this video. The game...not so much.
lol thanks
This "static scenario" is what separates Shadowrun from the top RPGs. This and the linearity of the game. The visuals are pretty, the writing is very nice, but it lacks this "open-worldness" that make some RPG games enter the hall of fame. If we consider the price is half of Pillars' and Divinity's, this lack is understandable, but I'd rather pay double the price for double the interaction with the game world and the freedom to explore it.
I think Shadowrun is more of an isometric tactical story-telling game than an actual isometric RPG (considering the paragon of the isometric RPG is BG, IWD, Fallout and the likes of them).
Matheus Moreira ya
Matheus Moreira Open worlds are completely overrated when it comes to story driven RPGs. A sandbox is alright for Skyrim, where the story is less important than the exploration, but you only have to look at Dragon Age: Inquisition to see how the open world diluted Bioware's usually strong narrative design. I'd much prefer a linear design with a strong story, than an open world with a weak story.
Matheus Moreira But should every game be the same? Yeah it's more basemission system, just like one of my favorite games - first Deus Ex. And Shadowrun still has different choices and endings. It's just more focused. Yeah it would be cool to see real big shadowrun game, but only if it can sustain same level of detail as Dragonfall and this one does.
Dragonfall: DC and Grimmrock 2 was my favorite games of 2014.
Ole Gerko Yeah, it has to do with personal opinions and all. I'm much more into The Elder Scrolls and Fallout than into DA:I, for example. But we have DA:O with good story and good exploration, the same goes with Baldur's Gate. I think the developers can mix both aspects in a good way when they want to and have the time lapse to do so.
Ole Gerko They shouldn't be the same, of course, but there are certain aspects that could be implemented in some games to make them better. In my opinion, open world in a RPG game is one of those aspects, as it is scenario interaction, like grabbing stuff, going into buildings that doesn't have to do with the missions and things like that. The more freedom you have, the more you can role-play your character they way you want it to be.
imagine Fallout 4 with a party like u can have on Shadowrun
as someone who isn't really a gamer [last console i owned was X-box and didn't really use a lot]. Only games I have played since ME3 are Dragon Age: inquisition and these HBS shadowrun games. I still enjoy this more than DAI, but I do have the love of nostalgia having an affect, whether subconscious or conscious. They finally got real close to near perfect for the budget they have, but what is even greater are the UGC runs and whole games that other people make, some with plots and writing almost as good. It makes it feel a shit ton like the tabletop game I played years and years ago. I would say this reviewer points out exactly what the negatives are, i was just curious, as i rarely delve into the gaming community, what they thought about this enjoying hodge podge. Sadly, new players have to buy the original Returns (featuring Dead Man's Switch story/run) to get this and Dragon fall. HOnestly, i would say skip Dead Man's switch all together and even the UGC, the mechanics that hurt the enjoyment factor were fixed between them
gunna give it a try. havent played anything like this since Fallout 2
metalon Do it!
I'm just sad there isn't a fourth campaign.
I am sure with the success they had so far there will be a 4th in the future
still waiting wooo
my three biggest pet peeves with shadowrun since shadowrun returns is the boring animations,overly static environments, and the fact that i can't hoard loot ..i understand that the Devs have to work within their means/budget so i don't blame them other than that i have definitely seen improvements with regards to story and characterization but if they could just give us smoother animations with pop/character or environments with more moving parts like npc's that walk around without it having to be an instances or a car that goes up and down the road a few times or destructible cover/clutter or just more npc's moving around simulating a living commotion then all i would want is a loot system were by enemies drop ammo,clothing,weapons,programs,because honestly buying from a vendor all the time becomes a little boring.
i heard good things about this game because i was looking for similar tactical games like baldurs gate and dragon age origins, but what i found was a lifeless, linear, repetitive, overly basic game. the cyberpunk world does LOOK really cool, but it's not a good game.
I love it when Karak slightly mispronounces words, it's cute as fuck.
Aj Koorstra And you will never know when its a joke about a musical instrument with a fucked up name, or a purposefully done thing to show disrespect:)
I know man, that's why i love it
DONT STEP IN THE TROLL SHIT!!
and now harebrained studios has been bought out by paradox, thats going to be awful for all future games
harebrained did great with shadowrun that fps crap isn't even registered as real shadowrun
i's got it for free.
Great game if you want the old school experience. But for me it came across as nothing more than the low budget game that it is. I'll either read a book, or play a game; not interested in a (compromised) combination of the two. Really hope there's a future Shadowrun, with a budget to bring it into the 21st century. For what it is, this game was 6.5/10 for me.
some time stamps would be nice so i dont have to sit through this shit
Problem with this game series is that they are very poor in content. Compare it to OLD fallout 2. Which is in same genre yet much muuuuch bigger. This isnt even 1/3 of fallout 2. Which makes me sad since fallout 2 was soo long ago.
This is 3rd game of the series ..which is another pathetic overpriced DLC.
Hong Kong is far from being as good as Dragonfall ... and Dragonfall had a truckload of problems.
The first game was a bit to simple, the second one was better in almost every way and "Hong Kong" is, sadly, somewhat of a "tragic figure" ...
The third title, "Hong Kong", is more boring than the first game, "The dead man switch", and almost everys aspect of it has tons of proboblems - more so than "Dragonfall"! But anyony who compares the three by playing through them can see that.
Which raises the question: "Why, HBS ... Why ???"
I really hope that some day HBS will some day learn to do it better. But my gut tells me, that they pushed this title ouit the door before it was ready! And I take no argument on that ... DEAR HBS ...
