Same awful load times as previous games
I want to love these games. I really do. I've played Returns, Dragonfall and now Hong Kong. But the load times are really killing my enjoyment of these games. Are save files stored on a .txt or something? It should not take 3 minutes to load to a previous save with a i7, 16 GB ram and SSD disk! Thus, what would have been a 4 or 5 star rating (because HK has improved from the previous two titles in several ways, is a 2 star due to performance issues.) PS: Culling the number of saves help somewhat, but the further into the game you get the slower the loads are.

Bad one
This one is a bad iteration of Shadowrun. Un-immersive story, poor writing, uninspired music, uninteresting NPCs, completely missed matrix mechanics, game breaking bugs and falling apart events. Also personally I find the setting being not my cup of tea, and I didn't like my team of a sissy orc, a hipster with mice in her pockets, a midget nerd, and a disgusting ghoul. Racter was the only cool to hang around with. Given the money they got it was supposed to be much better. Maybe they got too much and don't care anymore. To me it seems like the series is declining, Shadowrun Returns being the best, Dragonfall being worse but still great, and this being plain bad. I'm not buying the next one unless it's highly discounted or I find out that it's much better than this.

Another buggy mess
I liked Dragonfall, but I couldn't play the last mission due to a game-breaking bug. I vowed never to play another Shadowrun game, but here I am anyway, playing Hong Kong. So I create a decker that also has drone control. I get to the Lotus Den, and can't open the door because I don't have a deck. This seems like a bug because you can create a decker with guns and get a gun and a deck. Why would you not get a drone and a deck if you put points in those two things? Reminds me so much of Shadowrun Dragonfall where I couldn't play the last mission because of a bug. I start over and create a decker with guns instead, and get a deck. I really wanted drones, but I guess I can't have that and a deck to start with for some idiotic reason. Whatever. Then I get to the second fight and realize I can only turn drones off with the decking skill. Turning them against the enemies requires drone control. This was a huge part of why I wanted to play a decker. Uninstall. 0/5. I'll never play another Shadowrun game as long as I live. I'm only giving it 1 star because I can't give it 0 stars.
