Game News Torment Kickstarter Update #26: Turn-Based Combat Wins

[Echo Mirage]

Hopefully Inxile can now move quickly to put all the butthurt and rage to bed. And start focusing on the core aspects of, story,characters,game play in peace without an iron curtain of hostility descending across the backers.

 

[winterraptor]

Ah, yes. Exactly as planned.

I suppose I'll have to release those 'people of interest' that I was 'keeping safe' for the Devs during this 'decision process'. I am, after all, quite reasonable and a man of my word.

 

[Severian Silk]

How do I get to see the butthurt? Do I need to be a Kickstarter member?

 

[tuluse]

All this shared-schadenfreude is killing my buzz and making it less fun. I can only truly enjoy things when it's me (and maybe one or two others) against the world.

Join the mob roguey

 

[Jaesun]

No shitty RTwP! INCLINE!

 

[Elhoim]

Fuck yeah!

 

[Broseph]

 

[Severian Silk]

RTwP = microwave oven = oral sex
TB = oven/stove = regular sex

 

[Tigranes]

They were always going to go TB unless RTwP really dominated. Hope they can use the W2 base to really take the time to iterate a strong combat system.

 

[CappenVarra]

Take that, RTwP lovers! Now it's our turn to reign

[Grotesque]

seeing these all the comments on this issue reminds what a bunch of primitive mammals we are, a fuckin pestilence upon this planet.

 

[Direwolf]

I don't even know what's better. The TB combat or the butthurt in the Kickstarter update comments.

 

[Siveon]

You guy's weren't kidding about the comments.

"Ehh turn based.. no thanks. If i wanted a turn based game id play pokemon or somthing. what a disappointment."

Who cares though. 'Cause we got turn-based combat!

Jesus Christ...the internet amazes me more and more each day.

Disaster. I'm not sure I'll even bother playing this now. There was an implicit assumption I made that this would be RTwP like the original Planescape/BG/Icewind. I consider this almost akin to fraud. Caveat Emptor I guess... I won't ask for my money back, because I doubt you give a damn anymore.

But, I will point out that it's an incredibly bad decision that will cost you a huge amount of PR in the long run up to release. It reminds me of when CoDW2 was released; just a month before launch they suddenly announced that they were going to screw over the hardcore PC fans by removing dedicated servers from the game in the name of profit. A large number of the more influential players never went back.

I despair for other inXile games now.

You are alienating many RTwP fans who played the first game, while rewarding the RTwP haters who have probably never even played Planescape: Torment in the first place. I am sure that practically every backer of this game must at least consider RTwP to be decent, otherwise they would have never even played P:T (I am assuming that almost every backer played P:T).

Your decision doesn't seem very wise to me. Hopefully I am wrong and this decision does not eventually backfire on you, even ever so slightly. I wouldn't be surprised if many P:T fans (backers or not), who hate TB combat, write extremely negative reviews on metacritic because they feel betrayed. Revenge is known to be sweet.

 

[commie]

Their tears of defeat and impotent rage are fucking delicious!

 

[MrEvilGuy]

RTwP = microwave oven = oral sex
TB = oven/stove = regular sex

I much prefer oral sex over regular sex, and RTwP is shit. Therefore, your logic is flawed.

 

[Ogg]

I'm genuinely happy. Not because of some kind of Schadenfreude, just because that's a good piece of news. It's a good way to begin the day!

 

[Excidium]

Not sure how much difference the chosen method of combat resolution makes, combat will still be watered down crap.

 

[Excidium]

Torment = Jagged Alliance 3

 

[Western]

Torment = Jagged Alliance 3

You need one of these Excidium

 

[Longshanks]

Torment = Jagged Alliance 3

Not a combat heavy or combat focused game, so this is not what anyone's expecting. I'd have been fine with either combat option, given this, but I do prefer TB over RTWP so the news is good. The whining of ill-informed RTWP acolytes is just frosting.

 

[FeelTheRads]

Torment = Jagged Alliance 3

To quote you: who the fuck said that?

 

[Infinitron]

FFS even Roguey has nothing annoying to say here

What does that tell you
