Torment Torment: Tides of Numenera Pre-Release Thread [ALPHA RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Grunker]

oh god the butthurt from the rtwp crowd... only the butthurt from the codex should rtwp have won could match that assplosion, christ

Codex wouldn't have been butthurt if RTwP won, it would've been as expected

If you honestly believe this, I expect I can't change your mind, but man... I think you must have missed Site Feedback for the last 3 years and every poster quoting Roguey since forever...

 

[coffeetable]

If Wasteland 2 sells well they wont need to? Nah they'll kickstart something probably.

Fargo says he loves the experience of crowd funding and intends to keep doing it.

I too enjoy the experience of being given large sums of money.

 

[Zed]

I don't really give a shit about TB/RTwP for this game but I want to join you guys in your glee.

[DreadMessiah]

This is glorious. In every possible consideration.

 

[Chaotic_Heretic]

The RTwP butthurt...

Codex wouldn't have been butthurt if RTwP won, it would've been as expected (well, I certainly expected it to win by a landslide), and would conclude with a few pages of the usual snarky grumbling about decline and Biodrones ruining everything.

I certainly don't see any Codexer come even close to withdrawing their pledge over RTwP winning, like these babies are doing.

I would've gone into a depressed acceptance, I've been disappointed to many times to rage, I imagine many Codexers would fall into the same boat.

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.

From refund demands to passive aggressive threats... just keeps getting better and better!

You know, I heard a story once about a guy who did the same thing, went turn-based after his last game was real-time. Yeah, you know, it was real bad. I can't say he totally deserved it, but I mean, I'm just saying, you know, a lot of refunds had to be issued, lots of wallets back in pockets. Well, all I'm sayin' is, I can't be liable for the consequences of your actions, y'know, inXile? If you do the wrong thing man, karma's a real bitch, I tell you. Has a habit of catching up with you... when you least expect it. Just keep it in mind, right?

 

[DalekFlay]

I wouldn't be surprised if turn-based decision ends up causing your daughter to be raped and your wife to die in a freak accident. I'm just saying!

 

[Doctor Sbaitso]

Religious wars aside, reusing and refining the engine from WL2 is our best bet for polished combat, regardless of the style. If inExile were just finishing an RPG with rtwp, I still would have preferred TB but I see wisdom in refining an existing system.

If nothing else it gives them more time to focus on quality and content, much like when PS:T was made.

 

[Whisky]

Reminds me of WL2, when all the kids who donated discovered that there was a game called Wasteland and it was turn-based, and so would the sequel be.

What pain it caused them.

 

[tuluse]

Wasteland had simultaneous resolution, which Wasteland 2 does not have.

My memory is hazy but I don't remember combat being resolved from an isometric style perspective either.

 

[FeelTheRads]

One can only hope that TB will keep away Biodrones from this game. Hopefully it will not bring in JRPG-fags, though.

Butthurt is glorious. Feels good not to be in the butthurt team, man. Feels good.

 

[tuluse]

My memory is hazy but I don't remember combat being resolved from an isometric style perspective either.

My point is that WL2 actually has quite a different combat system from the original. So anyone bitching about TToN should be consistent with WL2.

If that's their argument like smudboy's is.

Personally I like some change, I've got no desire to relive Infinity Engine combat in Tides. I suppose I wouldn't be totally opposed to a RTWP system built from the ground up like Obsidian's but it seems like a waste for a game that's not even focused on combat.

 

[Sensuki]

I like RTwP but I voted turn-based and I will gladly flame anyone who's crying about wanting a refund because of TB. To the Kickstarter comments!

Devs can only flag my comments to KS and the KS moderation IIRC is lazy (since there were devs complaining about not being able to moderate their own comments in that recent article) heheh, good times ahead.

 

[dunno lah]

It'd be like id releasing a Doom remake as a point and click adventure.

Anybody else think this would make for an awesome game?

Doom 3 should have been that game.

@BrianFargo One of remake Kickstarters polled fans on whether to go turnbased or realtime and when fans said TB they went with RT anyway

Anybody know what game he's talking about?

I was hoping they'd pick RTwP just to see Hiver's subsequent meltdown. TB is clearly a better fit for the game though

Ahh, the illusion of choice.

 

[hiver]

There would have been no meltdown. of course.
I expected they will go for RtwP in the end - as was the usual in times of decline.

- what a stupid fuck. ha.

 

[Sensuki]

They won't go RTwP they all like turn-based. They've already 'sold' the game as well.

 

[Space Satan]

 

[The Great Deceiver]

Well that does it, I want a fucking refund. I hate, HATE HATE HATE, turn-based with such a passion, that I really hope my request or a refund makes some sort of impact.
