Obsidian General Discussion Thread

TBF - Kickstarter has kind of been a dud so far.

You guys might be interested in knowing that "veryalien" is the extremely butthurt individual formerly known as "Torment Superfan" from the Kickstarter comments of Torment. This guy has a long, long history of being a pain in the ass in Kickstarter comments, and also on Twitter, where he constantly messages developers of various games with passive-aggressive statements.

I don't need to point out the irony of a "Torment Superfan" being angry at a company going for a double dip on Kickstarter. I wouldn't mind the guy if he actually had anything valuable to say, but it's always about irrelevant shit like release schedules, or the devs not paying enough attention to fans, and not about actual gameplay. As it is, I'd prefer if we let hiver out and put him in Prosper Land instead. Sheesh.

Seems like you're saying "ignore the motherfucker"

I can understand Infinitron's sentiments after seeing veryalien's posts in the Dead State thread over here. Very mean spirited. Just because this is the Codex doesn't mean we should be dicks to tiny independent studios who are trying to make good RPGs.

No matter what you personally think of the tactic Torment's $4 million plus certainly sent the signal "feel free to kickstart the next game before this one comes out." Can't blame companies for wanting money and security.

If you felt this way you could have just PM'd me. Wow, reading your other posts you're one heck of a stalker. I have a better idea. I'll just stop visiting the codex.

In the meantime I suggest you get used to the idea that other people on the Internet will post their opinions which clearly won't always be the same as yours.

That's some pretty creepy stalker stuff right there.

EDIT:

Feel free to go through the comments in my twitter and kickstarter page. I only had an issue with Inxile and the way HBS handled things. I'm not sure where all this "passive aggressive" comment stuff is coming from.

But hey, it's a slow news day I guess.

 

[Curious_Tongue]

Can anyone tell me if Obsidian has any other unannounced projects?

No. Armored Tanks was the one.

 

[Curious_Tongue]

That sucks.

 

[Xor]

I'll just stop visiting the codex.

And nothing of value was lost.

he just pasted your username on google, Drogling

please do.

 

[Ninjerk]

I was just thinking about asking him to stop shitposting. Seems he's going to solve the problem himself.

 

[Duraframe300]

One lead by Brian Heins. And the Kickstarter as mentioned of course.

I'm not sure if Brians game is something big, though. Constant Gaw is Lead Level Designer on it, but is putting double duty on Pillars.

 

[Cazzeris]

Is Obsidian going to go to the E3?

Probably the answer is "no", but I'd like to read it from a Duraframe300 reply (or at least from someone who knows things about Obsidian works).

 

[Roguey]

This is the key to understanding balancetards. Hey, here's something for you: "no game at all" solves all the problems. Take a hint.

Knights of the Old Republic, what a classic.

AFAIK, nope. Nothing announced.

Also I'm wrong lots of times.

What is a "balancetard"?

Are they like the scum that trash awesome strategy games?

What is that even supposed to mean?
I didn't play any KOTOR and don't care at all about Star Wars, but I doubt Sawyer would have made KOTOR a classic.
What I'm saying is that balancetards have a field of view about as large as a horse where balance is the game, everything else is irrelevant.
And it's why Sawyer is a fraud for whom balance means only simplification. And some people think that is supposed to be something to look up to.

 

[Decado]

Looks like drog, posts like drog, probably not drog but it sure stinks.

No Jedi solves the balance problem

I agree. The best way to balance a Star Wars game is to not make one.

I would sacrifice every Star Wars fan on Earth for a single, decent Star Trek RPG made by a competent studio.

ETA: I would spare any Star Wars fans actually working on the game. For a while, at least.

I'd rather they do it this way than sell their souls to a publisher.

You better start with Urqhart, since he turned down a star trek game.

Even ignoring which franchise rubs your clit the right way, Star Trek is much, MUCH better set up for RPG gameplay.

 

[Aeschylus]

I would sacrifice every Star Wars fan on Earth for a single, decent Star Trek RPG made by a competent studio.

And I would sacrifice both for a well made Farscape RPG. But you can't always get what you want.

 

[FeelTheRads]

I would sacrifice Aeschylus for another Planescape RPG.

I don't have big dreams so no big offerings.

Bullshit. Codex is about being mean and dicks to EVERYONE. there are no free rides. Stop being a fuckkin' wuss.

 

[Aeschylus]

I would happily sacrifice myself to make that dream a reality.
