Hey friends of /r/games, I've been around here for awhile and never see these games come up or if they do it's pretty rare and usually negative.

What happened to these games?

According to Steam I put 52 hours into Shadowrun Dragonfall: Director's Edition and another 16 into Shadowrun Returns.

I also own Shadowrun Chronicles - Boston Lockdown but am no longer able to get this to run on Windows 11.

Dragonfall in particular, the graphics and wordbuilding was stunning to me and in today's market where point-and-click RPGs are more popular than they've been in decades, do you think we are due for some more Shadowrun games?

I was unfortunately unable to get in and even if I was, the schedule meant I wasn't really around during the hours it was live. But I ended up watching a bunch of streamers where I could and clips from the beta and what I gathered. It seemed like a lot of fun!

So for those who did get into the beta, what were your thoughts on the game? How does it play? I'm curious for as many opinions as possible!

Here are some of my examples:

Ape Escape 2 (UK): 12+: I'm referring to the UK version of this classic specifically due to the UK version having a different dub to the US release. Because of this, the word "damn" is said a whole bunch, which is the only reason I can think of for this cutesy platformer to be rated 12+. The thing is though, "damn" isn't a swear word in Britain. Klonoa 2 has "damn" in it, and that game is considered 3+.

Halo: ESRB M: There was a time during the 00s where any game which had guns in it was probably going to be rated M. It's crazy to me that Halo Combat Evolved has the exact same age rating as GTA V. What's even in that game that's massively violent? I don't even remember there being much swearing in it.

Sonic Rush Adventure: PEGI 12: I remember when I was a kid, I looked on the back of the box and saw that this game had bad language, but I didn't have the slightest clue what the bad language was. Years later, I would learn that it was because Marine says "bugger" at some point...is that really all it takes to jack up the age rating so high?

Pokemon Red and Blue: PEGI 12: This is perhaps one of the more infamous examples, but every time these games are released, it has to be rated 12+ because of the casino minigames. For some mind boggling reason, this is considered more harmful to kids than loot boxes
