It's funny how this changes nothing

Their core systems are still anti-game by design
Setting is a bland and derivative copy-paste of D&D, writing is cringeworthy

I dont believe RTwP is the biggest problem, there are games which are RTwP and that didn't stop them from being good. Anyway, this radical post-release decision only shows how desperate they are to change something, guess it goes on sale too :lol::lol:

the developers realized that there’s room to evolve beyond nostalgia
:lol: the irony


This can't be right either, and contradicts what was in the leaked version. Different spells should have different cast times.​
Maybe the leaked version was... streamlined for consoles (tm)?

2 hours 26 minutes into this video:


Such an amazing example of innovative boss fights.

That's why I didn't include him in the montage. Huami o Whe is the lamest boss in the game.

"Turning the game turn-based doesn't fix the shitty setting!!!!!!"

miss 7 damage no pen graze miss buff+5%

visceral TB

probably amazing with 2000 hp bosses
Even better when fighting a giant boss ooze that splits into small oozes on death which recombine into a full hp major ooze if you do not perma CC or instant kill them. The true pinnacle of game design.

Good job ignoring everything else in my post then. You are a true champion of reading comprehension

I think it's funny that a company goes out and gives the game a TB mode nobody expected, and it's apparently a "desperate" move that achieves nothing positive

If every RPG in the world got a free TB mode it would be a pretty cool world even if that didn't fix any of the other problems with those RPGs

Like almost every fantasy is a copy+paste and derivative of LoTR.

I am sure they did this because they love TB combat and feedback from players, not because:

"Pillars of Eternity 2 will be released on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One in 2019."

But.. but.. m-m-m-muh company... yeah they are totally doing this for you
young-man-giving-a-reassuring-smile-wearing-aviator-sunglasses-isolated-BNFKPT.jpg

How it really went down:

A: We are selling at 0.08x the rate of the first game, cant even cover production costs and we're pretty much fucked financially, better do something fast guys

B: How about we ship to consoles?

C: How do you expect RTwP to work with a joypad? We would need a turn-based mode or something

A: chop chop boys

like dragon age

How about like PoE? The first game was released on consoles in 2017.

You have to applaud luj1's authenticity though, he is truly so thoroughly disgusted by everything PoE that he can't bring himself to learn anything about it

I honestly wish it was more copy-paste of D&D, it would mean simple stereotypical fantasy characters and Gods I could get along. In here there are only shitty fantasy shark people and black Italians. A shame the Eothan and religious conflict deal was really good. You know it takes a special kinda of person to make a setting even more trash than dirty muh dark fantasy Dragonage.

Tyranny also had issues but at least it was trying something.

1/ Why would anyone think a company does something for them? That's not what a fucking company does.
2/ Why the fuck do I care what their ~feelings~ are when they are doing it?

I could not give two shits about what t-shirts Sawyer wears or how much they earned from the game or any of this retarded shit. Adding an optional TB mode to Deadfire improves the quality of the game. It does not fix the many other flaws, because duh. End of.

Because its an addition™? So if they added Battle Royale mode that would "improve quality" too?
