Shadowrun: what on earth were they thinking?

It's one thing that Shadowrun is a multiplayer-only game going for full price. But the fact that it's multiplayer only, full price, and doesn't include splitscreen play with a friend, and it only offers 3 gameplay modes and all of them are team modes?

I think it's outrageous they couldn't give people some more options, some solo deathmatch modes, etc., if they insist on charging full price with no offline story or split screen play. This is not a full game in my opinion in any stretch of the imagination. And I don't want to hear that split screen is offline so they couldn't do it - there are other games where you actually play on Live when you are playing split screen with a friend.

I have been saying that this game is going to rock ever since I have heard about it. Can't wait to pick my copy up.

Take a moment while I silence my gun!!!:twisted:

I hope it is. That'd be awesome if it was good, but I highly doubt it will be. Still, there's a chance...

wait a minute, your telling me theres a game for 360 where u can play split screen on live with a guest. Really. I was pretty sure no game on 360 allowed guests. This is something that was prevalent on the original XBOX, but I've yet to see it this generation 

lol are u kidding me?

u didnt know u can play with a guest on live

wow..........and u have a 360

wierdo

back to the point

i wouldnt evenb pay 40 dollars for shadowrun

30 at most

if it was singly player story mode atleast i would rethink paying 50 at most

but its not worth 60  with onliine multi only

I am still debating to get this or not.  The fact is there is not many people going for it and being an online based game, it needs quite a few players to be worth it.  The idea of PC gamers and Xbox 360 gamers playing together is cool, though.

I agree. It's a great idea in my opinion, but if not a lot of people are going to be playing, then it's not worth it for me, since it is multiplayer only.

When I purchased my 360 I figured it was going to have some great games and it does, but the only real reason it exists is so Microsoft can push their xbox live 'service'. If you just step back for a second and actually look at the lineup of games for the 360 it's heavy on multiplayer. They are taking out co-op and system link and slowely but surely leaving you with a paltry single player campaign and live only.

Becuase co op is the future of videogames. The only reason I even buy a game now is for the coop, otherwise I would spend the 8.50 and rent it from blockbuster and beat it in 2 weeks.

A few good rpgs are coming like mass effect blue dragon, eternal sonata, and lost oddyssy that dont need live. Plus fable 2 and alan wake should be good.
