It is some New-York Comething?
can we please stop referring to this game as the next planescape: torment? it's hipster tides of numenera, as confirmed by SEVERAL journalists and our very own Fluent.

Other than me and my main man Infinitron, who's referring to this game as the next planetscape: tournament?

Highly respected and monocled user Fluent compared it to Numenera, so I have to agree with that assessment.
ahh more paid shills to attack truth seekers. sad! many such cases.

If you read the dev blog, you can confirm this, or at least they come out as annoying cunts
tbh I wish more games were "pretentious" in this manner rather than pedestrian, assuming it's ever genuinely the case and not just a knee-jerk manner of trying to dismiss something that's shooting for the stars and doing it in style
I'm not detecting any air of pretend, the game seems to be an earnest labour of love and inspiration, it wears it on its sleeve, revels in it
being "inspired by" PST (an actual game!) is its saving grace, it's a recognition of some of the best vidya making tradition, and it was the more difficult route to take to deliver the game - were there legitimate claim to it being pretentious, it would "play" like KRZ aka not a game but some fucking bullshit with the nerve to think its shit is hot enough to suffer through without giving me any input FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

Rank the following premises in ascending order of pretension:
“What can change the nature of a man?”
“What does one life matter?”
“What kind of cop are you?”
“War. War never changes.”

Explain your ranking.
I'm honestly not sure why some people here seem to be under the impression that pretentiousness is intrinsically tied to "sophistication" and complexity, and that a distaste for it comes necessarily from "not getting it" rather than from being off-putted by its ostentatious nature.
More often than not this is about people who come off as the ones who love to smell their own farts and let anyone around savor the moment with them as well.
You know, like calling a fictional part of your protagonist's psyche "INLAND EMPIRE" because you are totally into David Lynch and if you were ANY more subtle about it someone may have not noticed.
I basically already decided I will buy and (time permitting) play this one as soon as it will be out, but I'm looking forward being impressed by some genuine sleek writing in every moment-to-moment dialogue, rather than the sort of ostentatious bullshit Resetera seem to be easily impressed about, like "turning white supremacy against the white man" (the audacity, what a corageous target in these days, aimirite guys?).
P.S. have yet to play the new Torment, but there's absolutely nothing wrong nor intrinsically "pretentious" about the question "What does a life matter", especially if the execution does not attempt to offer a definitive right answer to it and just explores the ramifications.
No, I wasn't.I'm not sure if you're trying to say bad things about INLAND EMPIRE or not, so fuck you just in case.

But since we are on it I strongly dislike the movie as well, so fuck you too, you goddamn Lynch nuthugger.
