Why are Shadowrun Fans forcing 360 owners to buy Shadowrun?

I think its because it takes them 10 to 30 minutes just to have an online match(theres no one playing it). Its simple they want to play with somebody... And with the reviews that shadowrun had gotten it really doesnt help them sell the game.Tamarind_Face

We want you to try it for YOUR benefit, not ours.  We are already happy with it, and can get into a game within a minute or two after booting up the 360.  Just try the demo, OK?  And make sure you do the tutorials, or like Jeff you won't know what you're doing.

Reviews are opinions, not fact. And no one is forcing anyone to buy Shadowrun, its just human nature to want others to have fun with something you enjoy.lockjaw333

  Don't think you understanding the topic,ppl are pushing the game convincing ppl to buy it and they can't find rooms with players. The game might be alot of fun but this type of games needs to be a hot seller for it to be fun,what good is a MMO game with no players = waste of cash

I haven't been forced to do anything, how can they force you to do something over the internet?

Members post topics to give their opinions on the game they actualy played. For exampled I havent played COD3 but im not gonna tell anyone that the game isnt any good because i have no idea.

And I gues people that play Shadowrun couldnt stand the ignorance anymore and started to persuade people that the game is fun, and well it is.

Tips for newbies:

If your looking for opinions only trust them if they have the game on their gamertag otherwise as joey from friends once said its a 'moo point' a cows opinion it doesnt matter.

Hilarious topic considering I've played the game (almost to the point of being ridiculous) since the day after it came out, and NEVER have had a problem launching a match (of 16 people) within a few minutes.

What you're hearing are rumors, no different than people claiming Gears of War was going to have uzi's and plasma guns.

(yaaaaaaawwwwwwn)

I got Forza instead, and I am glad I did..dreamscott

I bought both, im a car fanatic, own an evo and corvette which I race at laguna seca.... guess what game im playing? Forza 2 is boring... its a rent, and the live portion is horendous other then the auction house.

Same here, check my gamertag.  I've played Shadowrun over Forza about 10 to 1.

I've been playing a lot of it, but the MASSIVE bugs in this game are just getting rediculous. It's near impossible to find a game without waiting for 10 minutes, half the games you join are laggy as heck, and the hitboxes are an utter joke. Try sniping, it's WAY off base. I shot behind someone's back and got a kill (To the left while they were moving right), nice. Also, there isn't much variety in the form of maps or modes, and any additional content will add more expense to an already overpriced game. That said, I don't mind a ton because I only paid 45 bucks for the PC version. My Review of the game would be in the low 7's. It's a game with good gameplay but at times has insurmountable faults. (I love how I keep getting the "Shadowrun has stopped working" message. Games for windows my foot. The content is rediculously low as well. This game was either a) rushed or b) an attempt to see just how much money they could get away with gouging us for. This game should have been priced between 40 and 50 bucks USD for the 360 and 30 to 40 bucks for the PC imo.

*points gun at your head* BUY SHADOWRUN! 

I played it at my friends house and we where in a match and playing within a minute, get a life.Elementguy13

the 10-30 mins to find a game , is a prob that some user have (including me ) . If you have this prob , go post in this topic to help the dev fix the problem as fast as possible :

Until the problem is solved , do like me , and Use the "Join session in progres" trick ( will get you in a game in less then 1mins ) 

I will never ever pay $60 for a mostly multiplayer game with few maps. That is just dumb. You all know a lot more maps will come later "at a cost" on marketplace. I refuse to buy half a game for full price. If we all ran out and bought this game these companies will realize that we are willing to buy 1/2 games and start making many more of them to earn money. Forget this game...it belongs right next to hour of victory in the bargin bin.mpalacio

or because they feel the game was reviewed poorly and want to give the people who blindly follow game reviews a wake up call :| 

The main reason is that there arent many people that play this game online. Why would you buy a game that has only nine maps, and its online only? Somebody please answer that. LolTree06

Cause its fun? Also for the people that say this is a 1/2 a game i guess that makes all single players with no MP half a game right? Get real, this game was designed for Mp and thats what its doing so itsa full game.

Traditionally I think of a whole game as having singleplayer, with multiplayer being a nice but unnecessary addition. If a game is amazing on its own, I don't need multiplayer that's tacked on. (Good multiplayer is great, though)

I like the fact that people who haven't even played the game or spent 30 minutes at a friends house playing are criticizing it! People are saying that it's good and fun online because it is. So I don't think it's some mass conspiracy to get hapless 360 owners to buy a game we know is crap and go back to our secret hideout and laugh.

This game is fun, quite simply put.

At most this game takes me 5 minutes to find a match...You just have to make sure to include every game type.  I would say that the review missed the mark....Yes this game needs work, and I hope for free DLC as well, but it seems to me that the reviewer dinged the game for not being Shadowrun (RPG) as compared to the FPS that it is.  I do not understand all the hate, just because this game is a FPS.  As I said before, yes this game has its flaws, but it is really fun, and it is nice to play with all the extras (Magic and Tech)....

 People, before you believe the hype or hate just rent this game and give it a spin....I always try to rent games, even ones that get bad reviews on Gamespot.  (BTW this game is getting mixed reviews...somewhere between a 6 and 8.5, I have also never seen such a gap between the user reviews and the Gamespot review, generally they are within 1.0 of each other.)

You can solo in mmorpgs for one, and two, they are different animals. Also, I just tried playing this game some more, and as much as I want to love it, it's just not very good. You can shoot someone square in the chest/head with a sniper and they don't even wince.

Chest maybe....but if you shoot anyone in the head (excluding the Midget, you get a one shot kill)

Also this game got a 6.9 and Pirates got a 6.2 on Gamespot.....I GAURANTEE that this game is alot better then .7 over Pirates.  Think about it people. 

Reviews are opinions, not fact. And no one is forcing anyone to buy Shadowrun, its just human nature to want others to have fun with something you enjoy.lockjaw333
