Game News Torment Kickstarter Update #53: Beta Released

[Major Malfunction]

How do you know the tube wasn't being trapped by the jellyfish? Check your living entity privilege shitlord.

 

[Excidium II]

By the way what's with InXile and hanging CDs on women's hair?

 

[SwiftCrack]

Black, woman, black.

Because it's 2015 6.

(I don't give a fuck though)

 

[Crispy]

Nice to see our Native American brothers finally represented in an RPG.

 

[Zed]

By the way what's with InXile and hanging CDs on women's hair?

she's a modern gamer girl and what other way to show but to hang her favorite retro PS3 discs in her hair

 

[Immortal]

Why do you guys always have to turn everything into an issue of SJW?

It's not. It's a fucking game, with fucking characters. They look different from eachother and fits the story.

Has nothing to do with SJW.

A year ago I would 100% agree with you. But now I can't be so sure... are these actually the best characters for the story or are the writers just pandering.
SJW's have shitted up the well for everyone.

 

[Zorba the Hutt]

Typical Codex going on about SJW shit though, just looks like a normal cross section of society

 

[Irenaeus III]

Who's that "gal" in the middle?

 

[Kev Inkline]

Who's that "gal" in the middle?

Oh, that would be Dame Edna.

 

[DeepOcean]

Nice to see our Native American brothers finally represented in an RPG.

Last of Mohicans dude was badass. Native americans are just lame when Hollywood make them wise magic indians or whining butthurt manginas.

 

[Robert Jarzebina]

I bet the white male is main villain.

 

[Jaesun]

Torment: Tides of SJW...

 

[Outlander]

Gazzillion billion years into the perpetually post-apocalyptic hyperfuture people (and transdimensional non-entities) have probably replaced intercourse with some bizzare mix of aura-photography and superdeep drilling involving outlandish gizmos that penetrate your essence at every point in time and space and leave your body in shambles as your mind wanders off on its unhinged Malkavian journey. Sticking something into any orifice would be seen as such an outlandish and primitive concept you'd probably get stoned to death for suggesting it.

 

[Caconym]

They said no sex during the Kickstarter. Doesn't fit the game's theme. There might be other romance, though.

'Kay.

Party members are not incloosive enough, if anything. Where are all the wyrmkin-kin transdimensional cyborg jellyfish, I ask?

Didn't you see him her it trapped in the tube in Circus Minor?

Not a bad description of the creature:

​

 

[Infinitron]

I said the game's theme, not the setting's. It is called Torment.

 

[likaq]

I hoped for some butthurt so i could wrote: Torment: Tides of codexbutthurt.
PoE and W2 manage to create fuckload of butthurt, TToN also should.
So far i'm very disappointed.

 

[Caconym]

I said the game's theme, not the setting's. It is called Torment.

Love is pain and sex is la petite mort, just how much more torment could you possibly need?

 

[Prime Junta]

And then they say SJW's are sensitive to slights, perceived or real. :eyeroll:

 

[Cowboy Moment]

Where are all the wyrmkin-kin transdimensional cyborg jellyfish, I ask?

Didn't you see him her it trapped in the tube in Circus Minor?

I'll take that as confirmation of tasteful cyber jellyfish romance being present in the game, thank you very much. Will write negative review if it's not to my satisfaction.

 

[MRY]

I can't promise it's tasteful.

 

[Gondolin]

Nice to see our Native American brothers finally represented in an RPG.

You mean the latest Shadowrun games?

 

[Daedalos]

Nice to see our Native American brothers finally represented in an RPG.

You mean the latest Shadowrun games?

RPGs that are actually good?

A Free Gift for Beta Backers
You may remember that acclaimed author Pat Rothfuss offered to write a Torment comic book. We are happy to announce that not only is it finished, but we are also making it available free to all of our previous Torment beta backers at no additional charge. You can check out your

Rewards page on the Torment backer web site to download it right now (click the "Downloads" button on your reward that includes your beta key).

Note: If you are a backer who pledged separately to get the Pat Rothfuss comic as an add-on, you can use the "Remove Reward" button on the add-on to get your pledge value back and use it towards other add-ons of your choice.

FUCK!

I feel cheated but then I did pledged out of buyer impulse.

I have the kickstarter reward Lore Seeker and I thought to myself, "Oh no I'm still missing two comics!"
Since it's actually more expensive to buy the two comic by Avellone and Rothfuss separately (800+800=1600pts), I chose the cheaper option, comic compilation (1400pts), despite having one of the comic already included in my Lore Seeker reward.
Now they told me one of the comic is free? So if I have just waited I only have to spend 800pts for that one comic by Avellone?
And before anyone ask, no I can't remove the comic compilation reward, the system wouldn't allow me to do so.

It's been almost 4 months since my last pledge and 14 bucks aren't too big anyway, but damn me and my impulses!

Could have use that money to buy other comic books like Lobster Johnson or Abe Sapien, that'll be like 3 trade paperbacks.

but we are also making it available free to all of our previous Torment beta backers at no additional charge.

beta backers

Loreseeker is not beta backer. Case closed.

You guys can hang, draw and quarter me now.

 

[Infinitron]

And before anyone ask, no I can't remove the comic compilation reward, the system wouldn't allow me to do so.

Brother None Can you help here
