Game News Torment Kickstarter Update #25: Combat System Vote!

[ColCol]

No matter what there is going to be a lot of crying. Better get this ready:

 

[Korron]

Meh the codex always loves to wax poetic about TB. Go play the newer Pool of Radiance and tell me how TB is clearly superior to RTwP and can never have any flaws.

 

[Direwolf]

TB will be fine.
Right now ~8300 votes

47.76% RTWP
46.88% TB
5.35% don't care (TB by default)

TB is clearly superior to RTwP and can never have any flaws.

 

[Balor]

Well, while a WELL-DONE RtwP is better suited in some cases (See: 7.62), in this case TB might be superior. Voted TB.
Though really don't care much, I've mostly avoided combat in PST, this is not a game you play for the combat.

 

[stony3k]

Voted TB although I think I can live with RTwP in this case.

 

[Bitcher1]

TB takes the lead, mothafuckas!
Man, that shit's exciting! Fargo knows how to stir up interest. Panem et circenses, old fella.
Of course I already did my duty if anyone cared to ask.

 

[hiver]

16 points in the lead.

oh yeahhhhh.....

 

[Rake]

I find hilarious that some people in Obsidian forums voted TB because IE games and NWN were "turn based under the hood" so TB is the way to go...

 

[undecaf]

GOOOOOO Turnbased!

Shut up, or they're going to fucking catch on.....

 

[Bitcher1]

I'm just worried that once Kwans wake up, they'll again turn the tide towards RTwP. Hope their votes are spent.

 

[Monty]

You're a bad man undecaf... you just cost the campaign HHR's vote.

I keep seeing arguments similar to this. Why can't TToN have enjoyable combat?

Because....Rpg Codex

They like the platonic form of tb that exists in their head.

Apparently many others too since the tides turned almost immediately afterwards. 8 votes on the losing side.

What have I done...

 

[AstroZombie]

I think :patriot: just woke up.

 

[hiver]

equal again. guess we got an interrupt.

-edit-

ohhh yeahhhh 4 points in the lead.

With all due respect to the guy that fixed Dark Souls on PC, Durante's gibberish about RTwP being the ultimate form of combat system is really inane. I wish I had a NeoGAF account to answer him and try to sway a few more voters to the TB side.

 

[AstroZombie]

I think Durante has an account here.

The problem with turn based is that it can break up the flow of the game. It is a very artificial solution, which can break the immersion.

Link plz?

 

[undecaf]

Is it tied to the time of the day that the TB people wake up to vote and pausepeople nod off? We're once again 50 votes ahead (at least for a moment).
