Decided to retry Shadowrun Returns again to see if I was crazy about hating it and Dragonfall, but nope
WHY THE FUCK IS THE DIALOGUE OFF TO THE RIGHT LIKE THAT?
Think about every great WRPG: Dialogue front and center
WHY DOES SHADOWSHIT DO THIS?

what do you hope to gain by posting this exact same thread again?

if that's a big problem for you, you're going to have a rough time throughout life.

I don't have to play bad games like the Shadowrun trilogy, I can play the classics that know front and center dialogue is important
Justin Parker
So many things to complain about Returns, and you pick this.
Elijah Peterson
That's because Dragonfall is a piece of shit too and it has the same dialogue box problem as Returns
Daniel Myers
Most screens are widescreen so placing the dialogue boxes at the side leaves more vertical real estate, whereas a front-and-center dialogue box removes horizontal real estate from the shorter portion of the screen, thus obstructing your view of the game moreso than the side-box.
Jose Harris
A poor excuse when even games like Underrail don't do something so stupid
Colton Taylor

Tyler Nelson
i never got this either, but i still enjoyed the games.
Asher Phillips
That's even weaker than the last one
Carter Mitchell
can you change the font in the game? i don't like that
James Bell
>dialogue box problem
Are you unable to read it or something?
Cooper Campbell
How is this even a real complaint
Who the fuck cares where the dialogue box is located as long as its readable
Elijah Barnes
He just has autism. Actual, literal autism, not internet memery.
Noah Morris
Literally who cares? The writing doesn't need to be in the middle because there's no accompanying animation to look at.
Michael Bennett
When I'm talking to a character, what is the point of having the entire environment shown? What is it telling me? My focus should be on the dialogue, not the environment - the environment should be something I look at when I'm NOT talking to a person.
Pic related, Age of Decadence, another modern game that doesn't do stupid shit like Shadowrun
Noah Nguyen
>but i still enjoyed the games.
Bad taste
Underrail has a pretty bad UI - if you don't like the font, don't play Underrail
Oliver Lewis
>My focus should be on the dialogue
So just do that? focus on the dialogue box, why are you mindlessly staring at the centre of the screen.
Ryder Fisher
>My focus should be on the dialogue
Then move your eyes slightly to the right you fucking mouth breather
Are you an actual honest to god downie?
Samuel Thomas
>Hur ur autistic!!1
I just like when RPGs don't look like shit - Shadowrun is one of the ugliest modern WRPGs ever made. All of the games 3D models are gangly and small and lack detail
The writing doesn't need to be at the side because there's no accompanying animation to look at

Aaron Roberts
I want to be immersed and not have to constantly shift my eyes in a 30 plus hour RPG
You know, like ANY fucking modern RPG like Divinity Original Sin 2
Aaron Sanders
Shadowcuckold fanboys are in denial though about loving a shitty series of mobile games, so they deflect and say "y-y-you're autistic" and "y-y-you get used to the ugly graphics" or "y-y-you get used to the SJW characters!"
Brayden Torres
>dialogue to the right is such a problem that you can't play the game
>goes directly to Yea Forums where all the posts are to the left
I don't even know what game this is, but you seem retarded mate
Benjamin Lopez
I tried giving Shadowrun Returns a go and lasted a grand total of 20 minutes or so. Whenever WRPG writers are given the opportunity to write in the third person they go back to their "failed novelist writer" roots and waste their time with overly verbose descriptions that accomplish nothing that good dialogue wouldn't. Hell when I opened the thread I thought you were complaining about that AGE OLD FIGHT OR FLIGHT EQUATION shit and not something as autistic as where the box is
Parker Kelly
Posting in an autism thread!
Nicholas Hernandez
>i-if you think im autistic that just means y-y-y-youre a fanboy
Lmao I didn't even finish Returns, much less start to play Dragonfall or Hong Kong
People are calling you autistic because you are being autistic
You're legitimately complaining about the position of a text box
None of your arguments are relevant in any sort of way
>b-b-b-bbut i gotta shift my eyes
>b-b-bbut it affects immersion
>b-b-b-but other games dont do it
Literally none of this matters
Unless you have some retarded downie eyes and sit literally 10 centimeters away from your monitor there is literally no problem with looking a tiny bit right
Returns might or might not be shit, but none of that is related to the position of the fucking dialogue box
Christopher Nelson
>Comparing a website to a video game
How desperate are you shadowniggers
The Shadowrun trilogy is poorly written, yes.
Josiah Adams
>My only argument is like autism buzzword
It's a convention of good and well designed RPGs, games you've never played - how about that you fucking autist?
Jack Gutierrez
Text is text you dumb nigger
Enjoy your shitty game
Owen Ross
Returns
Xavier Stewart
No one needs to provide a counter argument to your sperging because your point is the equivalent of 2+2=5
Anyone that isn't autistic like you knows that you're an autist for thinking otherwise
Henry Morgan
>Enjoy your shitty game
I'm not playing any of the Shadowshit games though
Oh look, another RPG classic that does dialogue in the center
It's almost like... putting text in a box in the corner that's barely there is a bad idea
Eat shit you retarded nigger who doesn't know anything about anything.
Eli Foster
>but other games did it!!!!!!!!!!!
Other humans had sex and you're still a fucking virgin, what gives?
Charles Nguyen

ohnononono
Brayden Butler
>>but other games did it!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, the best ones in the genre.
Blake Campbell
I know some Yea Forumsnigger is scrounging for some old RPG that did something as stupid as Shadowrun and I'll give you a hand: NWN
Guess what? NWN1 isn't considered a classic by anyone
rpgcodex.net
It's not even in the top 70 RPGs list by RPGCodex, and that list has some really rough games.
Nicholas Thompson
OP is a serious faggot. Move on.
Robert Richardson
>OP is a serious
OP IS A SERIOUS DA DA DUH DUH DEH DEH

And the sequel, which is considered better than NWN1... oh no... look at this dude
OH NO NO NO NO NO

Parker Edwards
Of all the things to complain about Shadowrun on, I don't understand why the HUD takes center stage. It's stupid, but it's far from the worst thing in it
Aaron Barnes
Yes there are many, MANY, bad things about the Shadowrun trilogy, like how the glowy iPhone nodes substitute real world interaction
Yet the dialogue box bothers me because it's fucking with the conventions of a genre for no real reason. It's not aesthetically pleasing, it helps with nothing, it was something done because the devs have never played another WRPG before
But retards still claim they're good, is the problem
Jeremiah Barnes
Should I give Returns a chance if I unironically enjoyed the fuck out of Dragonfall and Hong Kong?
Ryan Wilson
Its a step backwards comparatively, and the story is nothing great, but you might still find enjoyment there.
Jordan Torres
>Its a step backwards comparatively
Having played 10 hours of Dragonfall DC, no, it's not. I don't know how Shadowrun Returns got a bad reputation to you retards when it's the same old shit.
Samuel Ramirez
I thought it was alright. The dialogue boxes' biggest problem is that it restricts the dialogue in the choices to save space, but I think they're just trying out something new with the placement
Jack Watson
Why didn't they do it like this? At least there'd be a point to choosing my avatar
Oh, because doing things the normal way goes against the SJW way of thinking
Angel Lopez
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I remember having a few pieces of (scripted) dialogue where your avatar shows up. I chose the shadowy guy since none of the default portraits look good, so it was really jarring seeing the portrait of an orc one minute and then a shadow the next. This was in Dragonfall though
Lincoln Edwards
You're probs right, I really had to force myself to play Dragonfall
Anthony Bell

Don't you have an Obsidian thread to shitpost in?
Or Mortal Kombat thread to tell people to read your shit fanfics?
Or Epic Games Store threads to shill for the Chinese?
Or Fallout threads to post your garbage Fallout mod?
Parker Rodriguez
Aztlan is a major player in the setting, so it makes sense.
Charles Young
Oh yeah, I forgot the megacorps even exist. It all blurs out because you don't really see the megacorps being distinct from one another, nor do they really interact with the story
Matthew Myers
I've played plenty of games where the text is off to the side like that. You're just being nitpicky.
Hud elements being arranged in a particular way is a matter of opinion.
Christian Taylor
You move your eyes around constantly in real life. Therefore it is more immersive if you do it in-game as well.
Lucas Rodriguez
>I've played plenty of games where the text is off to the side like that.
Post them then
I guarantee none of them are good
Brody Smith
This could be the biggest non issue I've ever seen a complete sperg out over. Bravo.
