Game News Torment Kickstarter Update #48: Crisis Gameplay Video

[Excidium II]

Also keep in mind, WL2 is pretty well liked on this site, looking at the polls.

Maybe you should look at discussion instead mang.

I do spot the markings of "trying too hard", so I don't think it can really be another Torment.

I sure notice some familiar vibe with the one on the left. They didn't miss the right one either.

The team making Torment is pretty different from the guys who made WL2 and others. Also keep in mind, WL2 is pretty well liked on this site, looking at the polls.

Your sarcasm is unwarranted.

Have a good day.

A dozen of writers steering a single wheel, offers us the same stream of narrative lines PoE gifted us with.

That's just numanara's style bruh.

The discussion seems a bit slow and bored. Maybe DU should unleash hiver.

It's science fiction! By Monte fucking Cook! Clarke's Third Law, It averts fantasy 'tropes'!

I can't be anything but awesome.

I am. Same result. Not seeing alot of "negativity" there, either. So I'm not sure what to tell you.

It's been known to have successful results in the past. Clan Novel Saga comes to mind.

There's almost always a vocal minority who dominate discussion.

How is this any different from about.. any cRPG? You only play Vogel games?

 

[Infinitron]

Narrative descriptions in dialogue. Just like pillars of eternity.

And um, you know, Planescape: Torment

 

[tyrannosaurus rex]

How many writers do they have? How many writers with big egos? We'll see how that turned out, with the qualities already showcased in this update we're getting a good idea.

 

[tyrannosaurus rex]

And um, you know, Planescape: Torment

Pillars of eternity managed to have more of these while having less dialogue than Torment. Wasn't there some sort of general consensus that an excess of them was not... good? From this update, are we led to believe that Numenera will have less than PoE?

Should I add a disclaimed to my post that I did consider that Planescape had those but, for now and what we know, apparently lesser quantity. Or would you still feel the need to score a cheap point.

 

[Infinitron]

Should I add a disclaimed to my post that I did consider that Planescape had those

Well, yeah.

 

[Shin]

While I agree that an excess of anything isn't good, I'm pretty sure this is just gut feelings talking. If you got a writer/designer with a clear-cut vision and the leadership to keep the writers focused on this vision, I'd say you have a decent chance on writing a good VG story, no matter how many writers are involved with dialogue-related things. No clue how they exactly divide the writing workload between staff but it seems logical that they'd have some clear boundaries in terms of how much a 'low level' writer can influence the overall flow/direction of the story. Plus consider that PoE didn't have any pre-established lore... PST and TTON do.

tldr; too many variables to whine about too many writers rite now

 

[Roguey]

How many writers with big egos?

Patrick Rothfuss and Brian Mitsoda are the champs here.

 

[tyrannosaurus rex]

It's just that so far it doesnt augur well.

Am I wrong? Is the current balance of narration and dialogue a good thing? Is their inability to simply convey so much of the substance of narration into the dialogue excusable?

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

lol the UI is so awful.

:sadtown:

 

[Irenaeus II]

Brian Mitsoda

 

[DosBuster]

Don't act like VTMB isn't praised all over the internet for its writing.

 

[tyrannosaurus rex]

Getting many famous writers to write a piece is like too many famous actors to play in a movie. It doesn't always work and often results in a bomb.

 

[Irenaeus II]

Don't act like VTMB isn't praised all over the internet for its writing.

No one is acting like that. Just read tyrannosaurus rex and Roguey dialogue, then read Brian Mitsoda's Kilpatrick line and pretend it's his reaction. It's a joke, kid.

 

[agentorange]

That's just numanara's style bruh.

wow that is some gay looking shit

 

[Irenaeus II]

Art is not the best quality of Numanera.

 

[tyrannosaurus rex]

It's 2015 enough with the transphobia. I mean 2015 cmon people!
