Tyranny Pre-Release Thread

With "off-brand" games like these, there's often a tendency for game journalists to review them a bit more harshly (or maybe lazily) than they do a "flagship title" (like Pillars of Eternity)

Barik, a noble Disfavored soldier trapped inside of a suit of slowly rusting armor, stands as one of the more tragic characters. Unable to remove any piece of his steel skin, he's forced to shit and piss on himself. At one point, we even had a sobering conversation about his inability to have sex or masturbate. That conversation wasn't played up for laughs, but afforded a painful glimpse into Barik's living hell.

I was going to wait until I finished the game to judge the companions, but if that's Barik's struggle, he stays just as bad.

If companions like Barik were afforded loyalty missions or more involved side stories, they could easily rival the genre's most memorable.

Why was this guy so touched by the fact Mr. Armour shits himself?

Reminds me on a David Gemmel book (bit shit) where a bloke trapped in a suit on armour were slowly strangling to death on his own beard, pretty good mechanic I thought.

i thought since it is published by another company the bribe budget will be bigger. well, they played their "help, we are gonna go bankrupt!" card with PoE. that's kinda a free pass for players and journos alike to appeal to their pathos.

Luibl knows best. He's pretty harsh with modern faggotry wannabe rpgs so this a glimpse of hope!

Guess the AMA and the reviews seems to have helped the game. It's at #1 on Steam, above Dishonored 2 (which comes out tomorrow).

Imagine only Bioware & Bethesda left developing "rpgs".

soo uhh is it a flop?

Look at who wrote that article.

Oh, and it’s worth making clear, while the game looks like Pillars, and in lots of ways plays like it, the games’ stories and lore don’t overlap. It took me forever to realise this, I admit, as I kept trying to draw associations that aren’t there. I am silly.
