Elerond Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 -Music is great though I think that horn makes it feel a bit too close to PS:T, feels a bit cheap-o. As both games have their soundtrack composed by Mark Morgan and T:ToN at least tries to be spiritual successor for the PS:T, I wouldn't be too surprised if Morgan has used/will use some of his tracks from PS:T in some way in T:ToN.

IndiraLightfoot Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I mean, overall, this game concept is absurdly brave of InXile in some respects: -They are making a text-heavy game -They are cramming it with heavy deep-head stuff: philosophy, ethics, and alternative sociocultural evolutionary strands -They make it so that there's no need for killing stuff whatsoever (at least if playing your cards in particular way) -They focus on plenty of changes your protagonist'll go through, as opposed to a fixed role socio-emotionally, and just have stats change I'm so happy, I'm jumping with joy, but I do expect (and this is not meant in some elitist way) that most players today don't want the stuff I just listed. I can only thank all the backers for this game (most people knew that PST worked despite its shortcomings) and then I'll pray for it to be as good as I hope it will be. 2 *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimeJunta Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Maybe they'll get cold feet and put in lots of bewbs to make up for it. I have a project. It's a tabletop RPG. It's free.

bussinrounds Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Just now pledged for Torment, why not sooner, I don't know. Am I supposed to wait for a Manage Pledge email or something. I'm not super smart and pledged before creating an account, and so now it says there aren't any donations on record. From Brother None at the dex... There's a delay for new pledges as we manually import these, usually on a weekly basis but with high interest now we may do more frequent imports.

IndiraLightfoot Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Volourn: If they'd entered any publisher office with those things as main selling points for a game they wished to get financed, it would be more than brave, it would be futile. 2 *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonarbill Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) I didn't have high hopes after WL2 but man, they got their **** together. I really like the enviroments, for some weird reason I get a FF7 vibe from them. That game was very beautiful. And dat Mark Morgan music The UI is super. :takemymoney: Speaking of Pre-rendered JRPGs from the PSX era, I can say that something about the game reminded me of Chrono Cross.

Starwars Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 But they got the funding they asked for, and way more than that. I don't know if I'd count that as "brave", I mean... I think they felt pretty confident that Torment had enough hardcore followers to meet their funding goal. Not that it matters if they're brave or not. Just happy that the game is getting made and that it looks promising. 1 Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChris92 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) I like the Lovecraftian inspired setting -- colour me intrigued. In fact, it looks more aesthetically pleasing than that of Eternity but I'm positively excited for both games at this point.

nipsen Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Was fine until the last arrogant crap that was unneeded. ..uhuh. That's basically how I feel every time I see a trailer or a hype-trap for an fps. "Most popular and unique game, ever, in all of history, for all time, it's not redundant at all, and you got to play it now! Also, your mother! -IGN". "Shoot **** and get experience points! -RPS". "It's f****** awesome! -Jaz Rignall". Okay, finally took a look at it. Seems a bit Septerra Core-ish. Some say the RPG genre is dead Some say gamers hate to read 83,000 Torment fans disagree lol Yeah, the way it'd shift from realtime to turnbased would make it a lot like Septerra Core. Funny thing. Hopefully, it'll be a bit more polished than that The injustice must end! Sign the petition and Free the Krug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlperTheCaglar Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Its ironic that most japanese games that are referenced by some here got their evolution ignited by the 90s American/Canadian RPGs. The names some of you actually mention, were made half a decade (some a decade) after many Interplay, Black Isle, Microprose or SirTech/Talonsoft games. Some were made practically a decade later from the godfather of tactical/rpg games -- Microprose. So to correct the misconception, it was the west which influenced the east regarding many facets of such games.

Hiro Protagonist II Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I like how inXile have done their website with including a stretch goal. 20 days to go and nearly 65% there. Here's hoping they'll make it. Maybe Obsidian should have done the same when they originally had their idea for a stretch goal for new wilderness areas/companions.
