Bioshock 1-2 are good games
The internet search mentions Achron (2011). Could this be what you had in mind?This time travel mechanic thing... wasn't there a Sci-Fi RTS or RTT game back in the day that did it? Gave you "time" as a strategic resource you could rewind in combat? Like the game actually kept recording the full, real-time state of the world for a short while and you could roll it back, albeit only so far.
Yes, I think that's it! Looked up a review for it and the UI seems familiar from a gaming mag back then. And it seems my memory only did the mechanic so much justice, you could go both backward and forward in time:The internet search mentions Achron (2011). Could this be what you had in mind?
So expect to struggle with the flexible chronology. But the "aha!" moments come, and when they do, they might make your mind explode. A simple scenario: Battle doesn't go the way you intend. And so you move back in time and issue a different set of orders. A more involved scenario: Confuse your opponent by skipping into the future and issuing orders, and then undoing them when that future turns into the present. Convolute events even further by using the chronoporter structure to send your robots into the immediate past, and watch as the current version of those robots and their past selves participate in the same skirmish. Thanks to time manipulation, you've just cloned an army.
Maybe it's time to make a dedicated thread for Inksul Entertainment memes just to make things in order.Alternate universe Brian Fargo joins the inXile meme team:
Interstellar, Donnie Darko, Groundhog Day, Tennet, Arrival, Coherence, and Midnight in Paris, Terminator, 2001: A Space Odessey, 12 Monkeys, Terminator 2, Deja Vu, A Christmas Carol, The Endless.While I am also skeptical that time travel will be more than a gimmick, what CRPGs feature time travel that make you hate it? We've got Chrono-Trigger, some IWD2 quests, that recent(ish) game Waylanders that got panned. What else? My intuition says there are more, but I'm not thinking of many.
Better question is when was the last time you consumed a time travel story that was truly a great story.
Mind you, most of these are better described as "quite good" rather than great, and there are a few here that deal with abstract experience of time, rather than literal passage through it.

The return of Gavin Jurgens-Fyhrie:
He is a yuri-loving cumbrain who wrote the first pansexual playable character in Overwatch. Speaking of Torment, maybe it actually would've been a decent product if him, Colin McComb, Mer Lafferty and the rest of the libshit writers spent less time on Twitter sperging out about the 2016 election, and more on actually working on the game.Gavin's not too bad. He executed Avellone's vision of Erritis pretty well.
You mean like turning Pharah into a carpet-muncher? Yeah, who could've guessed that making retcons that only serve to pander to mentally ill fags and dykes on Twitter isn't a smart idea?If you do a quick google search you can find a lot of posts celebrating this guy getting fired from Blizzard. Seems to be a lot of complaints about him pushing fanfiction into the lore and blocking people on twitter for anything negative.
