Your a shallow online slop-fest... Shadowrun is the best multiplayer game since CS1.6.

ROFL :lol: Yeah, let me equip this cool upgrade that allows me to fire into a crowd without aiming and only hit opposing team members & not my own. Like I said, slop-fest.

Or you could turn into a Darkling and just jump around everywhere, slapping people in the face. ShadowRun is one of the best multi-player game. ShadowRun is an overall better game than The Darkness. As you can tell, not many people play The Darkness, not because it's a new game, because they know it's just not one of those top-notch games. By the way, people that shoot at their own team by teleporting in the middle of fire, either don't know how to aim (even w/ SmartLink Active - Auto-Aim) or they just suck, I'm guessing you're the last one.

^^Let's see. Shadowrun scored a 6.9, The Darkness scored an 8.5 so please don't talk to me about The Darkness not being a "top notch" game. What does that make Shadowrun then???

And I guess I'm supposed to be offended because you insinuated that I suck at Shadowrun but I'm not, because it's impossible to suck at Shadowrun, it basically requires no skill whatsoever. A brain-defected monkey couldn't suck at Shadowrun.

I have only played the Shadowrun demo, but since I am an old man (34) I actually played the PNP and SNES and Sega Genesis games and thus know that that Counter Strike wannabe is a serious waste of intellectual property. The Darkness looks to at least have some intriguing story elements and decent gameplay. Shadowrun is like a overpriced Counter Strike mod IMO.

Well, Shadowrun if you just want a pretty good multiplayer game and The Darkness if singleplayer is more what you are looking for right now.

Yes, they are good games. And although Tenchu wasn't that great graphically, I still logged around 40 hours into it because it was fun to play. And the only reason the guy is flaming me is because I made a valid point about Shadowrun that he couldn't dispute without resulting to insults. It's no biggie.

Erm... So as you afford more tech and magic you play better? Really who would have thought...
Honestly, the game doesn't take much skill to play.

If you think Shadowrun takes no skill, you are a fool. There is no more hardcore experience on Live right now. The amount of things you need to keep track of while playing that game puts it head and shoulders above every other multiplayer shooter, no question. I have all the proof I need in the fact that everytime I play a match, I always start out merely average, but by the time I've outfitted myself with all my tech and magic, I take first in just about every game. There isn't a game that requires MORE skill out on 360 right now.

How does you taking first every game prove it takes skill to play this game exactly?

I vote for The Darkness as well. Shadowrun is a horrible game, what kind of morons that create a game without a storyline? Makes no sense.

It just proves it's more than just a FPS. Once you throw in gliders, teleport, resurrection, ect. there's alot more to account for than in any other FPS. idk, i'm probably gonna be put in jail later today so I can't really be bothered to think about this too much right now. If this thread is still active and i'm not incarcerated i'll try to explain my thoughts better, cause they are pretty much scattered to the wind currently.

And you just proved my point for me. You could be the best FPS player in the world with absolute Yoda skills but if someone elsehas equipped kit that negates what you have, you'll get creamed every time. Meaning it's not skill based at all, it's rock/paper/scissors. And I love how everyone either plays as Elves with Katanas, (which the devs have outright admitted is the n00b combo in the game because they are so easy to play), & everyone else chooses the tech that aims for them & allows them to fire into crowds without fear of hitting their own teammates. Again, no skill involved.

And as far as features, the game has no stat tracking of any kind, which is criminal in an online only FPS, only a small amount of maps & even smaller amount of weapons.

I'm glad you like the game & everyone is entitled to their opinions, but I think a lot of people defend this game more than they would any other because it's online only & if others stop playing it, you're stuck with a $60 coaster.

I had shadowrun for about 3 weeks. It was great fun I got a 100 kills on dwarves and elves. Teleported 100 times played all the maps casted all the magic and it was great. Not anymore the fun has dried completely out and I traded it in for The Darkness a couple days ago. I would suggest getting the darkness it's really fun, great innovative gameplay.

If they release a patch soon that fixes the Darkness multiplayer then it will eclipse Shadowrun cause the average multiplayer in Shadowrun isn't enough to warrant its $60 price tag.

Shadowrun because it has great online and endless replayability. Darkness looks fun but the online stinks and there is little reason to do the SP again.

The comparison sounds like comparing apples to oranges, IMO. Each game sounds likeit hasdetails that the other does not.The Darkness's strength is in it's single player while, clearly, Shadowrun's single player is severely anorexic. The Darkness's multiplayer leaves much to be desired while Shadowun's primary focus is on multiplayer replayability.Shadowrun's fun-factor, however, diminishes rather quickly. I still play it, but I play it less and less often. The Darkness has its 10 hours or so of gameplay, and then it's time to deliver it to Gamestop for a trade. IDK, I'd say you should rent them now and save your game-buying for August and September.

Shadowrun has a great multiplayer
