The Thaumaturge - supernatural RPG set in early 20th century Warsaw from Seven: The Days Long Gone devs

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

Lean upper body coupled with bodybuilder abdominals, and she's wearing trousers. High scores for both anatomical and historical accuracy.

Just going back one decade and a half in the past, in 2009, none of this would have made been showcased and the game would have directly introduced the main menu with an innovative gameplay.

The first time I saw it was in 2007 when Assassin's Creed was released. I rolled my eyes then already, but to be fair, this screen hasn't changed that much since.

Interesting: Polish experts calculate that the budget of Thaumaturge was 15-20 mln PLN, which is 3,8-5 mln $. Low AA numbers. Now I understand why they could not afford a Polish dubbing outright.

According to these estimations Fool's Theory needs around 250k copies sold to break even. Which they most likely will achieve this year.

so it's not only bad but also pozzed, polish gayming went the poop way around 2012

 

[Jermu]

I finished act 1 and think Im dropping this one now

spam right click every second so you don't miss clickable shit is obnoxious
no logical puzzles just click everything and you are done no need to think
customization is minimal but better than I was expecting (add passive stuff for every skill)

combat yeah could be interesting later but so far I have not died even once, couple times it was close

setting + story seems fine but execution presenting em is lacking, follow red line and click anything you see while going from a to b. good mc and other cast is decent too

time to play unicorn overlord now

When did 'dex decline so much? I mean I know when, around 2020, but it's sad to see.

The Outer Worlds had a 300 page thread in 2019 where every other post was about NPC haircuts.

Yup, I quit codex a long time ago because of all the whining about SJWs and stuff in every god damn thread and none of them talk about the game mechanics or story.

Now I'm sure most of the people here have stopped playing games and only shitpost about "politics in gaming".

We already have SJW megathread with 3000 pages, so can we stop talking about it in every thread.

Sjw infesting all games is talking mechanics and story. You just seem to like those shit changes and corruptions of our once beloved games and genres. There is always reddit and resetera for sjw lovers.
Also Codex always spent unhealthy amount of time shitting on worse mechanics of new games, just before last 8 years SJW shit was not as prominent. Shit mechanics (and even shittier microtransaction stuff) stayed and in addition SJW shit was added on top.
For example Overwatch. Shittier than other team shooters like Counter Strike or Team Fortress 2 but also full of SJW shit.

Well the thing is that despite ugly haircuts and cringe writing the Outer World is still a 100% solid and serviceable RPG with passable combat, quests and party management whether people like it or not. Also its like one of very very very few games in general which takes place in space and not fantasy. I think that games like Thaumaturge contribute to DECLINE much more. They are nor RPGs, they are not proper point n click adventures and sure as hell they are not worth playing for writing alone.

I'm not fond of it, but I don't think it's worth complaining about for years when it's the reality of the industry.

Besides, what did all the codex "Shiting" accomplish? Don't you get bored of repeating the same stuff over and over again for years?

The Thaumaturge is very mild with SJW, and yet that's all we've been talking about in the last few pages.

The game received good ratings from the critics, but only Jermu provided insightful information about the game.

I also wanted to point out that codex is the only forum to talk about indie cRPG, reddit only care about AAA games.

 

[HumanMech]

Yeah, instead of "Shiting", you should try to consume some real shit (the reality of the industry) and be happy, guys! Why don't you? It's fun and not boring at all. Ask reddit.

 

[deama]

So how's the game guys? Is this like disco disco or one of those imitators?

It's a heavily narrative-focused isometric RPG, but it's not like Disco Elysium in that it has cinematic dialogue scenes and light combat.

Is the narrative part any good?

It's probably good for what it is, but we'll have to wait for some Codexers to finish the game to be sure.

It accomplished two things.
1. Bg3 is not GOTY
2. Shitposters like you that want us to accept shit stopped posting here and some others didn't come back but stayed on reddit or resetera.

For example check out how Rogue Trader topic looks here and how it looks on reddit. If we stopped complaining and "accepted it" like you said, we would just be full of same human garbage that fill 75% of RT reddit topics with romance shit..

 

[Tyranicon]

I have nothing to add besides

1. Yes, I wish that there was more discussion of the game than some silly trigger warning that the lawyers probably asked for. But I also don't think too many 'dexers actually bought this.
2. RPGCodex is still one of the only relevant places on the web to talk about cRPGs.
3. Modern games are so thoroughly coated in various forms of cancer that there's no point in talking about what mild enjoyment you can eke out of them when you're getting tumorous growths shoved down your throat.

I haven't looked at it since the game was released, but I remember being frustrated the thread was filled with nothing but pages and pages of discussion regarding Warhammer 40k lore instead of talking about the game.

My main stopping point was "The Witcher Exploration" style mechanic.

 

[Alienman]

Lol! What perfect timing.

 

[Kiste]

So, I hate the Polish because they once scammed my mom out of €300, but this game does look interesting to me.

I don't mind the trigger warning. When you have an NPC ranting about the Jews like some demented Codexer, a trigger warning is a small price to pay for not heaving to deal with a social media shitstorm. I'm also fine with the Witcher-sense exploration, because after work I suffer from mushy brain and don't like to do things that are too mentally taxing.

Taking these things into consideration, would this game be for me? Are there any positive elements? Is the story good? Can I bang a Slavic tart? Please, don't make me read Steam reviews.

Edit:
I should probably add that I'm a storyfag.

I tend to agree but heres the problem, there is legitimate argument that says " we have a right to complain if we want "

And that applies to supporting the game

I just ignore the repetitive comments about degeneracy or the reality of wokeness in games. I play any game I want and I dont let other people influence my decision because of the reasons I mentioned

Also you will always find people on Codex who want to discuss the game and its mechanics and they have actually played the game so there opinion is informed even if I disagree with there views

Well, complaining about SJWs is modern RPG Codex's reality, so i try to ignore it and sadly the codex has declined when it comes to discussions about modern AAA and some AA games - people here never accepted things "just because", but a lot of criticism nowadays is at a surface level and often about superficial elements. Of course it might just be that people who have nothing interesting to write prefer to write nothing.

On the other hand RPG Codex is great when it comes to older games as well as smaller indie and some A/AA games. It is the only place i personally know where you can find people discussing active playthroughs of Ultima Underworld or Wizardry (even comparing its various incarnations), where people will try and comment on some obscure RPG for DOS made by a teenager in the 80s or some czech dungeon crawler for the Amiga that never got an official translation. When it comes to indies, it often is the only place where someone even bothers to mention a game, i've both found games thanks to RPG Codex i didn't knew about before and found games that were only discussed on RPG Codex when i searched about them online. And of course there are the more generic discussions like those about mechanics or story elements that even if i do not always agree with them, i still like them because people often discuss about *why* they like or dislike something. These discussions are also those i prefer to participate myself in and whenever i find some non-AAA or already overdiscussed game, i like writing my thoughts about it in the relevant post (even if sometimes it gets a

for some of the more obscure and/or well received stuff :-P).

And at the end i don't think you'll ever find a perfect community anyway, some communities try to create one by being strict about rules, policing discussions and banning, but personally i'd rather read (and sometimes respond to) stuff i might dislike myself than have someone else arbitrarily decide for me what i can handle, so i don't like such communities.

I agree. I post too much about WOKE because normies are not posting enough. FFS this agenda wants all white and/or male defenders not even in chains. But straight up dead. And you're defending it cause... maaan just let me eat my goyslop in peace

This game seems fine. My biggest problem is gameplay which is made for modern audience AKA game is not simulation, vehicle for the story but mere click here and click there. You're basically playing PowerPoint presentation. Which ain't bad if presentation is good. But it can be so much more

+Lack of Polish VA is

I wish, WK40k lore is based.
It is now filled with fan art of different character romance combinations..
