Nice, down to earth, no nonsense video. Even five years later! 🙂

What is the missing content? Your review makes complaints but doesn’t detail the complaints. As such, I have no idea why you didn’t like it..

There's WAAAAAAYYYYYY more to hate about Disney than the lines. Shadowrun came out in the 80s.

My own gaming experience with Shadowrun started toward the end of 1st edition, and took place mostly in 2nd. Although I've played a bit of 3rd. But it doesn't seem like the progress has been all that great going forward. And I'm not a big fan of the "streamline and simplify" concept, even if they had done that correctly---which it sounds like they did not.

6th Ed? Never mind.

Sixth world is great, but I do miss shooting someone with 30d6.

I wonder what edition you would recommend.

Hello Should i start with 5 ? I got 6 and all of what you said makes sense. It is really hard for me to get back to page 94 or 34 and so on... It is cool i love the videogames and i played other Tabletop RPG's with my Friends. With Shadowrun i am all in but it feels like it is to much or not that good to get that cool start. Thank you Sir!

I’m a 2E with house rules Shadowrun fan and have been in since 1E. 6E is too amateurish to be useful. I got the humble bundle pdf 6E and it sucks.

I keep the lore but I am still running 5th edition rules with house rules to fix what wasn't working.

I felt the same about 4th, as well. 4th even removed deckers. Wtf!? 5th was a solid entry and it seemed like the way it should’ve gone in the first place. I’ve played since 2nd and have all the core 3rd ed books, which I still run to this day. It blows my mind that they haven’t been able to figure out how to fix something as core and iconic as decking after 30 years. 3rd ed ftw.

Thanks for the honest review. I guess is still back to the third edition for me.

I have played 3rd, 4th and 5th and the 5th is my absolute favorite. I still think the next time I will play Anarchy!

I really hope, they will ditch this edition soon and make a better 7th edition. I'd love to get into Shadowrun, but I had problems wrapping my head around some of the 5th edition rules. Especially once you get to the Matrix. I love the concept of the Rigger, but when I tried building one I had problems, especially at the buying equipment phase, understanding which attributes are important and so on... I don't mind spending time to wrap my head around crunchy mechanics, but even after KZbin Videos, blogs, reddit posts, wikis, Rulesbook reading I had trouble to remember how certain mechanics play out and how to build a good character, that is more than a StreetSam. I love the setting and vibe of Shadowrun, I love reading books about the world. But I want an approachable system, that is actually good and helps to create amazing stories. Unfortunatly 6th Edition seems to fail to deliver that. There are many systems out there, crunchy and rules light that do amazing jobs at combining these aspects of their game - unfortunatly I havn't found that for the world of Shadowrun yet...

Shadowrun 5 had a fine system perfectly good just the formatting is unforgivable and the bouncing between pages you discribe is the same thing the shit formatting remains and that is the universal problem which was misdiagnosed by the creators

Oh, you can say it. The art sucks! Where are the humans? It is ugly and gross. I've been playing Shadowrun since 1990 (Every Edition) and this is the ugliest edition yet.

They should just give up and turn it all into whatever rules they used for the Shadowrun Hong Kong video game lol

I started to get unhappy at 5th edition. I've got books from 1st through 5th with most of the 3rd editions stuff with various 1st and 2nd edition stuffs. The 5th edition stuff you kinda make a 3rd rate ganger unless your GM allows for a more powerful build. Plus the decking stuff in 5th wasn't nearly as integrated as 4th was. I might even put it below 3rd edition in ease of use. You want a streamlined version then go 4th edition. 3rd edition is also good but the decking stuff is more separated than 4th edition.

Appreciate the review. I had a lot of fun making npc's for and gming Shadowrun 5th ed, while the details in 5th ed were interesting the 'meta plot' was super confusing [what is a fast jack?] figured it out later but I think i'll pass on sixth edition. Might try running something close to Shadowrun in GURPS.

Excellent book review, subbed and looking forwards to more content!

So is Shadowrun just the Sonic of the tabletop world? 3rd was a bit of a clunky mess, 4th had a bunch of issues, 5th is apparently a trainwreck, and now this. Can this game get any love?

amazing video

You are honestly great at review's man keep it up I will say that you might want to put is some music really low in the background for those who have ADHD

Would love to create my own generation of new super heroes!

"d616 system?? 🤔 "Which dice does it use?" "Yes." _Roll the dice!! ROLL. THEM. A L L!!!!! 🤯_ Orrrrr maybe it's a 16d6 pool type of thing.

Do we know who is the publisher?

Do you have reviews of all the other editions? I played 2nd & 3rd ed

Who are these people who wants simpler? I've heard that since AD&D... Am I the only one who wants more complex?

Yee yeeuh

I plan to stick with 5th ed. Thanks for the review.

Before the announcements of Shadowrun 6thE Me who FINALLY got his hands on the the 5thE book: YEEEEEESSSSSSS Me after finding out the 6thE is coming soon:NNNNOOOOOOOOOO Me after hearing everyone say 6thE is bad: YEEEEEEESSSSSSS (hehehehehehehe) Jokes aside Thanks for your honest opinion

Awesome Video Bro! Can't wait to see mroe.

Loved it bro!

Nice work, keep it up!

Glad to hear your time away from youtube was to focus on family, career, etc. definitely the most important stuff.

Nice video! I loved it!

Nice video! I enjoyed watching it. Keep up the great work.

nice vid!

That was funny!

Nice to see you back! Now I feel compelled to ask questions. OK. What is your most anticipated Paizo release this year? Hmmm. Best barbecue; American or Korean? OK. On the fly. That's all I have.

I know people hate jumpcuts, but this would be so much better with them.

I like your reviews; saw the 6th Ed Shadowrun review before this one. Would like to see more. Am now subscribed. I don't agree entirely about 4E, though it certainly wasn't my favorite edition. I do feel it's somewhat unfairly maligned. But more D&D fans probably agree with you than me.. :)

Nice to see you making vids again! So what are some of your favorite games? I saw you weren't the biggest fan of Shadowrun and I saw you run 5e a few times, so I was curious what games you were genuinely passionate about.

A two part question: 1) what's the most recent book you've read? 2) How many of those swords do you wield at once? 🤔

D&D is a board game. Always has been. 4e was just more open and honest about it.

PathGrinder...

I love the cyberpunk but elves idea so should I just go for 5th ed or should I just run cyberpunk?

Hmmm... SR 6 just came out in french now. Was all hyped about it and now not so much. I've been playing the 4th since 2006. What's your take on 5th ? Better than 4th ? Worth ? Or not enough change to go through the struggle of reading a book for basically the same things ?

Are there less typo's and page jumping then 5th? A bunch of 5ed page jumping didn't even refer you to where you needed to look for the information

When he asked “What’s the one thing everyone hates about Disneyworld?” The first thing that came to mind was “It’s a small world after all, it’s a small world after all.” 😂
