Torment Torment: Tides of Numenera Beta Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Zed]

would be funny if the black guy was a forced, plot-critical, unkillable companion - fallout 4-style.

 

[Infinitron]

That's...half an hour from now?

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

It's a shame that they haven't hired Benjanun Sridguankaev to do writing.

 

[DavidBVal]

Butthurt shields activated!

 

[Infinitron]

It's live.

 

[throwaway]

Man the level of zoom will take some effort to get used to.

 

[Irenaeus III]

I'm watching on mute, can't stand the comments from fat and thin guy.

Looks great, I'm not watching anymore so I don't spoil myself.

Thin guys is Ziets

 

[DavidBVal]

Too spoiling, goodbye, thread!

I have to say, looks impressive.

3D loading screen..

The effort handling UI looks pretty nice.

 

[FeelTheRads]

It's around 6/38 in the corebook, and 2/70 in the Ninth World Guidebook. 1 in the Into the Night Guidebook. Thanks for trying though autismo.

What? You actually counted them? Autismo indeed.

 

[Fairfax]

Token tough guy, token mysterious woman, token black guy.

What could be next?!

Numenera is basically SJW: The setting.

And it goes to ridiculous lengths. Probably 90% of the NPCs described in the sourcebook are LGBGBBQ of some kind of other. I mean, seriously, I don't get brain tumors just because persons of a different sexuality are included in a work (like some here do), but this level of pandering is rarely seen.

And yes, it is pandering. Most of the time there's no reason to mention the sexual orientations of those characters, but there it is right there and you should totally be interested in it otherwise you're a shitlord.

Since you counted these, I'm curious: how many white NPCs?

 

[throwaway]

Didn't realise it had POE-like illustrated storyboards.

 

[Infinitron]

Can somebody who ordered the beta check if they have it already? I saw somebody in the stream chat talk about that.

 

[undecaf]

I haven't gotten mine yet.

 

[Brother None]

CMcC Adam Heine srdobos ksaun Brother None Which character in the list of companions does Tybir correspond to?

None.

 

[Zed]

pre-rendered 3d loading screen is cool. very 90's. wrap it up in a fat decorative frame and we're in IE-land.

 

[Irenaeus III]

Niggernera

 

[Irenaeus III]

Whatever fatso

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

Niggernera

What the fuck happened to your II account? Did you eject?

How the fuck did he not get again what is rightly his back?:p

 

[Hegel]

Can't you change your character's appeareance? You know hairstyle and all that stuff.

Spoiler

yeah, hairstyle

 

[Athelas]

*watches video expecting to see some tutorial stuff*

*first half hour of the game is a literal battleground for your character's mind and sanity, with the villain casually dropping by*



I mean it looks great (particularly the puzzle-like approach to combat), but what ever happened to pacing and build-up?

 

[Irenaeus III]

in media res bitch

 

[Athelas]

Save the hate for post release.

You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to get all the hate out now and lower your expectations, so that you'll be pleasantly surprised by the final product.

 

[FeelTheRads]

Save the hate for post release.

Who the fuck are you, btw?

Save the hate...

Fuck off.
