Self-hating white whale. I don't understand how a person can have such a degree of self-hate to deny both his gender and ethnic origin.

Although this is starting to look suspiciously like Chris-Chan grade epic fail.

Apparently s/he runs a blog called "dumbthingswhitepeoplesay".

This is making some feminists renounce the project (at least in public), which only means they have enough self-awareness to realize how their Nazi-like racism comes across to normal people.

Arkh project head at it again.

There has to be some way to tell white women to shut up that actually works.

Because a mere “shut the fuck up white womens” never does.

Because “this isn’t your conversation, no one cares about you or your shitty white woman feefees” never works.

Seriously, white women, particularly the ones I don’t want to punch consistently on a day to day basis:

TELL ME HOW TO MAKE YOU SHUT UP DURING CONVERSATIONS OF RACISM, THAT Y’ALL RANKS CONSISTENTLY FORGET YOU ARE GUILTY OF, EVEN AGAINST BLACK MEN

GIVE ME A FUCKING MAGIC WORD, A MAGIC POWDER, A SPELL, DEVIL MAGIC…SOMETHING

The fact black people who enjoy anime and cosplay are a much smaller minority than the one among white whales is a definitive positive about niggas.

This is so hilarious and sad at the same time.

who is their audience, anyway?

are they all from the border house, are they escapees, BSN?

where did those 5000 bucks come from, is this entirely the result of kickstarter advertising?

To me it’s not the isometric graphics or resulting gameplay that makes these games interesting, it’s the depth of the world, characters and plot. If I were to support a kickstarter for this kind of game, ideally it’d be a first-person, open-world RPG which has just as interesting paths through the story for a player who does NOT want to kill everything as for a player who does. I’m kind of losing interest in RPGs which don’t offer that kind of option… which unfortunately means most RPGs.

A big part of the reason funding that DF Adventure got me excited is that those kinds of games (ie Tim Schafer adventure games) aren’t abundant. They are among the few games with scope and depth that don’t rely on violence. The focus is on making memorable characters for you to relate with rather than making characters whose sole purpose is to die a few seconds after appearing on screen.

So basically, I’ll get behind this if it’s something different. If it’s a deep, rich world to explore, and you can explore it in your own way (including.. NOT grinding through millions of enemies) then it’ll perk my interest. If it’s any kind of action-focused RPG it’d have to be pretty damn unusual or interesting in some other way to get my cash. I have nothing against some combat in games, but I’m just regularly disappointed to discover that most developers seem to have forgotten there is any other way it can be. If this kickstarter offers me a glimmer of hope in that regard, I’ll probably want to support it.

Similar thoughts. Old games are a a reflection of the technologies available at the time. Were the technologies of today available when PS:T was conceived it’s unlikely the game would of been a turn based isometric experience, but something more akin to DA:O/DA:2. Turning back the clock mechanistically serves no great purpose save to feed the nostalgia of a core audience.

100% agreed. Making a 2D Isometric game would have no real purpose, unless they actually wanted to. Just doing it because their old games were like that would be dumb.

Making a turn-based CRPG with similar mechanics to their old games would be ok i guess, but it would similarly seem to be missing the point. Planescape wasn’t great because it was like older RPGs, it was great because it wasn’t. (i heard… i didn’t get very far personally).

I’d be interested in what they could do with a game that WASN’T an RPG… I don’t see why game developers have to be pigeon-holed by genre too much… we wouldn’t ONLY let Ridley Scott make sci-fi monster movies because he happened to make Alien..

No, it’s like refusing to read a good book because the writing is bad. Gameplay is the core of any game, narrative, character, and setting are secondary considerations. In Torment’s case, though, it’s not just the combat that’s offputting. The central, pre-made character, the implementation of the Planescape setting, the dull-as-dirt dialog system, nothing about it works for me. I’ve tried to play it at least half a dozen times and never made it more than a couple of hours in, it’s just not at all what I want out of an RPG.

So he's upset he got a book when what he really wanted was a comic?

What's wrong with any of that (apart from the bit about bad writing)?. Pre-made characters are shitty, even if you do get to customise them quite a bit. I'm interpreting the implementation of the Planescape setting being more to do with interesting game mechanics and not the actual content such as characters, quests, locations etc. And the dialogue system? Well, see my posts in this thread.

There's far better derp on the page than that.

Planescape: Torment was turn-based? No wonder I disliked it – I must have been playing the wrong game!

A lot of people see it that way given it’s based on the D&D system (which uses turns & rounds to regulate combat, something you’d know if you’d ever played P&P). Still perhaps you should go to the thread on the Obsidian boards and tell them that they are all wrong.
