Needs more bug fixes and intense Player Testing.Amebix2023-08-05Version 1.6

As mentioned previously, the off screen auto targeting in the bar is an issue that locks you in the bar and unable to even open dialogue with a Johnson without having to walk around a bit to fix the issue. The other problem is having runners who are in the club go aggro on you as if you fired on them. This will happen when you don't have any guns equipped.

Another issue is at some point, the contacts within the vidphone list gets glitched out and calling freezes the game. Once you see this bug, that's it, there is no fixing and your game is broken. It happens at random times when I've tried to replicate the bug and I can't pinpoint the reason.

Great concept, it just needs to fully fix at least the major game breaking vidphone contacts bug. Everything else can be worked around.

Cool but prices are messed upCharliethegent2022-12-05Version 1.6

It's really enjoyable for the most part except none of the crime mall discounts work. And the fairlight excalibur cyber deck is now half a million nuyen when it used to be 185k. Not sure if it's a bug since lots of tweaks have been made. Still worth playing. It's too bad this can't be modded to add online multiplayer. Really have to appreciate that this guy even took the time to make this game more fun and playable.

Great balance issues, but needs proofreadingzeteginara2021-09-05Version 1.5

With the balance/proofreading changes fixed, this is a superior game from the original. Basically, the best ways to farm Karma and Nuyen are now shadowruns... not Gunderson runs and Matrix Farming respectively. IMO, it's the way to go.

There are some balance issues I would fix, but these issues existed in the original game and I can't fault the hack. :)

If the author would like my advice, PM me!

Does need debuggingWindy-kun2019-09-19Version 1.4

The hack is indeed in need of bugfixes. The main issue being what RainDrew said about going into a bar to see a Johnson and suddenly you're auto aiming at unseen enemies and get trapped in the bar unable to leave due to being stuck in combat you can't even participate in! Sometimes depending on the bar I was able to just walk to the edge of the screen and shoot whoever was unseen dead but this was hit or miss. I'd have to save state outside every bar and hope I'd be able to get out without issue. It's just not fun to deal with and needs to be taken care of!

Needs bugfixingRainDrew2019-09-16Version 1.4

The issue with autotargeting invisible enemies is a big one. Not only does it prevent from exiting buildings, but also aggroes hirelings and prevents speaking with johnsons. Imagine grinding Gunderson runs for a while, saving and reloading every 20-40 seconds =)

Hard to enjoy the other possibly great features the mod possibly provides with this game breaking problem in place =(
