What would you want the next Troika game to be ?

What would you want the next Troika game to be ?

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

There's two of them. Tim Cain is working on a high fantasy RPG with turn based combat. Jason is working on a Sci-Fi RPG with real time combat.

 

[Constipated Craprunner]

Heh.
That is hilarious.
One has something you want, the other something else.
Pick your poison.
Why not change the poll to which you guys are more excited about?

 

[Ap_Jolly]

I say, make a horror RPG! Wait... Bad timing - won't get it done in time for Halloween.

 

[Dan]

I would be happy with any turn-based, non combat orientad CRPG with a strong story line. Preferably not high fantasy.

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

I'd be more happy if the Sci-Fi one was the turn based one and the fantasy one was the real time one.

That would be the WIN for me. Oh well, if it has the Tim Cain goodness Fallout had, then I'm looking forward to the game. I can't say I'm looking forward to the Sci-Fi one though, simply because projectiles in real time is annoying at best.

 

[Constipated Craprunner]

Really?
While I can definetly understand the upsides of a TB system, was I the only one exilierated by some of the combat in FT? Yeah, the game sucked, but some of the combat........... Like the time I ambushed incoming raiders in a slew of AK47 fire.
Good times.

 

[Deathy]

Yeah, watching your guys automatically killing things was good. Too bad it wasn't very interactive.

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

It had that, "Hah! Hah! I'm glad I left that guy sitting there on aggressive so he could waste those raiders while I was getting a sandwich" mojo working for it.

At least that's better than herding your over-active and/or dumb NPCs and stopping them from killing themselves. :wink:
But seriously, there's enough people wanting rather to play TB than real-time, or CTB if you're uncapable of thinking in hexes.

 

[Dan]

The Fallout tactics battles for me were quite different.

"Oh no, not ANOTHER building. Will this game never end?"

By the way, I never finsihed the game. I still have that mission 16 save file somewhere...

 

[Constipated Craprunner]

Heh, that is nothing.
I stoped in Peoria.

You know what I think would have made FO:Tactics a decent game? If they tried to emulate the tabletop wargame much like Fallout tried to emulate pen and paper roleplaying.

I played up up through Mission 9 the first time. Uninstalled. About a year later, I tried again and got to Mission 17 before it bored me to tears. I played it in turn based the second time, which actually seems to help until you notice that turn based wasn't tested at ALL.

 

[VasikkA]

Well, I actually battled through the whole game. I remember what an disappointent it was, at the time I played it I thought it was part of the official Fallout story and that made me mad. The ending wasn't too special. I never re-played to see the alternative endings. Single-play was boring and too long, never played it online.

This is getting off-topic, enough of FOT.

TROIKA"S DEAD HAHA

 

[Diogo Ribeiro]

Oh no, someone's been reading too much Volourn.

 

[Balor]

Hmm, Volourn == Lovecraft?

 

[kingcomrade]

Did this dipstick just revive a 3 year old thread?

 

[D&DRULEZ]

Did this dipstick just revive a 3 year old thread?

Yep, I just watned to make triokas death burn worse for peoples.

Hey, at least i used teh search button.

 

[Balor]

Hey, he's roleplaying a necromancer!
Let's play along: pretend we are zombies and tear him apart?

 

[Diogo Ribeiro]

Yeah, and in the process reminded me of people I haven't seen post around here for some time... What's happened to chrisbeddoes, Constipated Craprunne, Dan and Deathy?

 

[Balor]

On the other hand, it may to be a very good idea: zombies suppose to eat brains, how we are going to find brains in HIS head? Not to mention that cracking his skull will take ages and a diamond saw.

 

[Shagnak]

Deathy lurks on IRC with us still (but as Pimpkernel).

He's kinda involved with TC as well.
He posts on occasion.
