Releasing extremely soon, so I thought we needed a thread for it. I never played the original Shadow Warrior (need to do that sometime soon). Anyways, what’re you guys thinking about this?
I’m interested in any game that has slicing with a blade being more than just a couple canned animations, and it looks like this game has something like that. Apparently they took all (or most of) the humor out of this new game that the older game had though.
It’s a different kind of humor. It’s less in your face and more subtle. Then again, we’ve had major strides in videogame comedy since the 90s. Major strides. They’d be fools to ignore that kind of progress.
I was building my new home and now I’m on the late stages of furnishing. Man, it was a lot of work!! I didn’t know it was so time consuming. Soon I’ll be moving, finally!
Now I’m more free to stay here and see the movement. /OFFTOPIC
Thx for the video.
Chalenging. I like that. The only thing I didn’t like so much was that strange healing system and the low power of guns.
I’m old school: The idea of magic to self-heal is cool, but I prefer find some health packs scathered around. As for the katana… It is fun to cut heads off, but my thing is more with fire weapons than melee combat in FPS. Rely only on the katana for most part of the game could be boring (well, in IMHO. I am a suspect because I don’t like much the Dishonored combat system). Let’s see how it works when it is released.
Agree. Since Duke Nukem Forever proved that 90’s humor wasn’t working anymore today (the old Shadow Warrior had the same humor of old Duke Nukem… And people backlashed a lot the replication of that kind of humor in DNF), would be dumb to reply the same idea of humor in this Shadow Warrior.
DNF’s humor was just poorly done in general. It didn’t help that a lot of the jokes were either bad or would have been okay if it came out years before (not really 90s humor, just out of date stuff)
There are medpacks, that’s why the magic only goes to 65 health
Also the weaker guns get more powerful as you upgrade them
I have played the original Shadow Warrior game which is really interesting and great game. I am amused to hear the news of releasing new game and watch the video which is relatively interesting.
