Torment Torment: Tides of Numenera Beta Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

DRM-free disc will be useless as soon as the first patch hits.
I don't know why it's impossible to just put the GOG versions on the discs if they can't afford to do patches for them.

Better be polished then.

For Wasteland 2 they waited until all patches had been completed, for some reason they opted not to do that this time.

GOG offers separate links to download individual patches. They should work on the disc version.

They never cared to update it

? It was last updated in December and that's a version that's supposed to be savegame-compatible with the final release.

With all of the locations???

Afraid not.

GOG patches are compatible with GOG installers only. More specifically each patch is compatible with *one specific version* of the GOG installer for your game.

Huh. That sucks. You could download the patched GOG version "from a friend's account" using public internet or something like that.

When does the review embargo end?

Fixed a bug that prevented most of the Philethis' conversation responses from ever playing.

Speaking of my writing disappearing....

Fixed Inifere's description and made it consistent across multiple scenes.

...

This is like the final cut of Secretariat in Bojack Horseman. :D

Release day, I think. No preemptives.

To all of you who extensively played the beta - does this come through in her personality and actions?

I only played a bit of the alpha (it was still horribly unoptimized back then, so I couldn't play too much), but I don't remember either her or Aligern being at all interesting.

IMO not really. She definitely interacts with and references her other dimensional minds or whatever (been awhile) but the current dimensional version is is clearly in control. Maybe something comes of it later but she's substantially less interesting in beta content than the other companions. It's more about the 'weird' setting than the gameplay/plot/story.

Oh fuck
Was it like that in the beta?

I think some other people have answered this since I multi'd it, but yes it was basically the same the entire time even since the combat system test.

I missed this. Chris Keenan on Torment's first battle, two days ago: https://forums.inxile-entertainment.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=15453&p=170576#p170576

We've seen quite a bit of this feedback about the first combat. I agree there are multiple issues that are keeping it from being an effective crisis intro. It is understandable that the players expectation is that it's a "tutorial to the crisis system". By having an invulnerable enemy right off the bat, it creates a confusion. To me, the game really starts to shine after the first hour. We can and will make this better...

Well, there's one post-launch update (unless it's already changed in their internal version?)

can't wait for the director's cut: special edition: 2.0

Thank you, inXile, I was so confused! It's good that in this day and age there are still companies that still care enough to handhold me! I appreciate this as much as I appreciate the on-screen walkthroughs in the crises.

 

[Luckmann]

OK, so what's the problem

That it was supposed to be much more. What're you not getting here? I practically spelled it out.

Wow, that portrait is shit.

 

[Abu Antar]

Edge Magazine gave the game an 8/10. I'll see if I can find details later.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Why "brilliant glow" and not just "brilliance", you fucking hacks. You are killing your own pun.

An adventure crazed Aasimar with low intellect who will no doubt be affable due to his simplicity, and make us slap our thighs while howling: "Oh, this guy, haha!!!"

What an original character!

The more I stare at his portrait, the more I feel the incline up my anus.

This is Chris Avellone's character FYI

Huh, yikes. I'm usually an instant fan of his characters. I have an entirely unapologetic love for Durance and Grieving Mother, for example. Durance was arguably what kept me playing PoE.

It almost makes me want to be less cynical about it. I suppose it could just be the piss poor marketing campaign making the character look like a shallow rendition of Minsc-as-an-Aasimar. Or it could be just as bleh as it looks like.

 

[Roguey]

Well you better like him because he's allegedly the only good companion in the game.

 

[FeelTheRads]

I wasn't really impressed by him. I stopped playing soon after I got him, though, but all the while he kept babbling some stupid shit with a shitty voice and I didn't care about it.
