Zain posted:This was probably one of the best surprises ever. While the first Shadow Warrior was good as itself, the humor never really stood up for more than 20 minutes because it was just the same stuff over and over. This game actually has a step up on characters and their interaction with what's around them as well as good characterization. I've warmed to it more these days, but Shadow Warrior was always my least favourite of the big-three Build games. This game was a really nice surprise. Never did really bother with the stars system though. It's jarring to think I live in a world where a Shadow Warrior reboot has better writing than a Thief reboot.

Yeah, you get it ("Viscera Cleanup Detail: Shadow Warrior") as a freebie with the main game now.

J.theYellow posted:(Did you know this game was known as "Shadow Warriors" in the PAL regions for the first few games?) Also do not confuse with: Shadow Dancer: That Shinobi game with the dog Shadow Fighter: The one good Amiga Street Fighter rip-off The original Shadow Warrior hit at the peak of Britain's anti-ninja censorship (because some kid took his eye out with home-made nunchucks or something) so the shuriken were replaced with darts. Someone on SA pointed out this was cleverly replacing a rare, difficult to use weapon with a common, everyday weapon anyone can obtain from their local pub.

Yep, that's a nod to the original.

I was surprised to see Chuck Bloody Norris advertising a bank when I went to Wroclaw a while ago.

I've warmed to the original Shadow Warrior (you do have to be very careful about using your explosive weapons), but it's still my least favourite of the Big Three Build games. And that's not purely nostalgia - I never played Blood back in the day, but I think it's the best by quite some way now. Where's my drat source port, Atari? Think upon this: the Shadow Warrior reboot has better writing - spectacularly better writing! Big ol' powerfully racist Shadow Warrior! - then the Thief reboot. This is somehow the world we live in.

anilEhilated posted:Anyway, apparently there is supposed to be an after-credits scene, but I can't for the life of me get it to trigger. I guess that's the time to call for audience participation again? It's not really an after credits scene, and I got it on normal. I think I'm remembering the order right here: the camera keeps zooming out and back again. First time back, what's-her-face has gone, and it's just Lo Wang and Hoji's corpse. Next time round, Lo Wang has gone as well. Edit: oh, someone said that already. I remember it being more ambiguous, I didn't think her body was there.
