Torment Torment: Tides of Numenera Thread

Torment is perfect for virtue signalling and pretend sophistication.

 

[Bleed the Man]

One thing that's been bugging me, has anyone found a use for oddities that don't have the "Use item" button? I'm sitting on 1-2k shins but I'm afraid to sell them in fear of missing out on something.

No, they have no use that I know of, but I might be wrong and one or two could have some cool hidden reaction in certain places, but I wouldn't put much stock on it. I aslo played with tons of oddities in case they had some hidden content.

Still, you won't need the money from selling them, so if you feel better hoarding them, do it. Sell cyphers which I barely used.

You don't steal bath towels and soap from hotels?

Yeah, these are the leftovers after I had bought everything I could in Sagus, before boarding. There is a ton of money to go around.

The setting is so random the fucking Tar Ball from the first area could turn into some nuke at a later interaction.

Fargo may not know how to run a company, but he can sure scam gullible backers from kickstater/fig.
WL2 was banal boring shit
so is TToN

 

[Iznaliu]

The jRPG crowd, Final Fantasy and shit.

They know exactly that SJW are pseudo-intellectuals that will love knowing they're playing an inclusive and diverse game with a huge amount of *deep* text, plus all those colors, just like their hair! Even though they don't really want mechanical complexity.

Torment is perfect for virtue signalling and pretend sophistication.

BS. InXile is too incompetent for any realisation about the one specific group of people that seems to be mentioned more than others even though there are far more egregious cases of false sophistication (e.g. the SJWs' direct opponents, the KiA/TiA crowd who boast of being ultra-hardcore gamers despite only playing the latest AAA blockbusters.) They made TToN for consoles since they got a bailout from Techland, who naively thought that consoles=more $$$.

Its not stealing. You pay for that stuff. You are just rightfuly retrieving what you paid for.

 

[Iznaliu]

virtue signalling

"Virtue signalling" is the new "safe space"; people act like it was some new concept thought up by evil SJWs, but in reality it is an integral part of human nature

I only steal pencils from Ikea

Ikea has pretty rad dishes, you can't buy small oval plates like those from Ikea anywhere.

Its not stealing

Correction: it is stealing when the Jews use their Israeli laser sharks to do it, but not when pure Aryan Übermensch do it

Been a while since I played a game so shit I felt like throwing up, last was Fallout 4.

Dude you refunded the game like 15 minutes after it was released, I'm not sure how valuable your opinion is

I don't think inXile are in touch with reality, why would you release something like Torment for consoles? It makes no sense.

Fargo has no business sense.

Not true, he knows how to sell steel at platinum price, I mean, he is a genius, doesn't risk his money and still people pay him for smoke.

Maybe he is not an honest person, but he knows how to make money, at least concede that to him.

Well, but 90% of the target audience is composed by anti-SJWs. Maybe you are talking about game journos, but even in this case I have my doubts. This tells more about developers' agenda preferences than the target audience.

I don't really know the demographics.

But they are changing. SJWs make SJW games, they attack "sexism" in games, get Patreon-ed, got all them "allies", so I guess there's an audience somewhere. Even casuals that will make an exception for Torment, 'cause they hate games but they are so politically engaged in activism, against anti-gamergate machos, and this is relevant to their social studies.

I might be wrong really, but clearly this is somewhat aimed at them, because some of the writers are them or their allies.

I played the Beta for 2 hours and played for 30 minutes after release. That intro was enough for me. Could get better or worse, but being forced to play with those characters alone was a deal breaker for me.

Because the publisher who is funding the rest of your development wants a multiplatform release

So it was techland's decision? Did techland also dictate the game was gonna be TB?(TB: easy to make primitive system for the slow minded, friendly with console controls).

The writing is so bad, as Roxor said, it's like reading walls of complete gibberish, I never felt that way when playing Planescape.

abi dalzim's horrid writing

 

[SionIV]

Are there any easter eggs from Planescape Torment? Anything that ties the two games together, or tributes to the first game?

It's overflowing with them from the first second. You even get your own bronze sphere.

So you guys would say it's Techland that is out of touch, this being their first publishing gig?

Still, either Techland did it because they just thought naively consoles = $$, or because they thought they would make money because this could appeal to a certain console-playing crowd. In both cases it is still dumb, but maybe it was purposefully dumb. Or maybe, as we'll find out, it was actually a genius calculated move. We'll see I guess.

I concede that he knows how to inherit a fortune, pose as tycoon, and fool grognards. In order to have business sense, the amount of money he earns must be higher than the amount of money he burns.

That’s because you are making the mistake of assuming that the noise of these activists is representative of what most people think. It’s not a surprise that the gaming community is usually accused as being misogynistic place by SJW activists. Because the target audience is mostly composed by men that don’t give a fuck about safe space. The problem is that while most gamers don’t give a shit about SJW if it doesn’t affect the gameplay, this is impossible to ignore in narrative games such as ToN, because it makes a big difference.
