Torment 2 Torment Harder

Torment Tides of Numeria is out. Downloading to try it now but my internets shit. Any word on how bad it fucked up? Is it a book or a pamphlet? Was it jewed like most of these kickstarter oldstyle-rpgs? Is it fun?

It's very woke and diverse.

Just played 10 minutes, got saddled with two companions who so far lack even a fraction of the charisma Morte had, combined. Maybe they get better. Also what is up with the font? It makes my eyes bleed.

Any screenshots?

So it's gonna be one of those eh? Well i needed a bit of triggering to get myself back up to a healthy amount of anger at the industry anyway

About 4-5 hours in. Nothing seems likely to be trigger the gesta/pol/ for now except Female comes before Male in character creation. Still cannot say if the shit is Jewed or not, but I noticed that it is tumblr'd as in 'Why the fuck WRPG lately has to star ugly character design, I felt like I am thrown into a world of fuglies'. And it is not good. In contrast though, the world looks abstract and oddly beautiful and a felt like a distant throwback to old point and click vidya like Myst, Oddworld, TLJ.

My main gripe with it is that it is very purple prose. About two paragraphs about something that can be explained as well in two sentences. I can do heavy reading, but too much quantity does dissolves quality.


Will post pics later, but right now I want to shower. If I am not back in half an hour, call the president.

As bad as pillars?

Well that's good news for once. I honestly thought this thing was still stuck in alpha.

I have a theory for that.
They bought into the Torment writing meme, instead of just writing a story they find compelling, they wanted to live up to the "best writing eva" meme and when you try too hard to write smart, you end up with purple prose.

Count theory: They actually think they're being smart but aren't, hence they mistake quantity for quality.

Bleh. Readin a lot of text is alright when it means something. Slogging through a tl;dr of meandering blah blah is just painful. Also the characters look unremarkable as shit.

inb4

Journos too busy praising Horizon Zero Dawn to praise a relic of the past.

I think it's more of a focus thing that about arrogance.
Imagine this: you get famous for a byproduct of what you were aiming for, so on the next game you focus on the byproduct instead of the thing that produced it, making the result feel artificial and forced. It's like instead of making a meme generator, you're chasing after old memes.

Pics as promised, although taken at the first 30 minutes in. Will take more.


About equal.


Seems the case.

The source material is pozzed as fuck, so I'm not sure why you'd ever expect anything else from this game.

Yup, they banned rpgcodex from any and all of their events because rpgcodex was too critical

...

Inb4 muh shills. Just going to post the general about this game afaik. Gameplay is simple, could get boring after a while. It revolves around your resource pool: Might, Speed, Intellect. You can spend those point to fudge rolls to your favour as in increase the success percentage (either to hit enemy, or to persuade someone), and some abilities requires those point to use. Combat is a little bit hard to the side, because maybe my build lean towards diplomancing, lorefagging too much, but you can solve lots of shit without combat (so far, only 3 combats within 5 hours, a lot more was avoided).

About alignment. You got shit call the Tides. They are not really your char personality, more like how others and the perceives you as i.e. intentions does not matter, only actions are reflected on. You can have a single or dual 'dominant tides'. The tides are: Blue, Red, Indigo, Gold, Silver. Not really good or evul meter, but they are the character outlook on life. Blue means learning and knowledge. Red means passion and living in the moment. Indigo means order, justice, law. Gold means acts that contributes positively to society (does not mean altruism, a mob could build an orphanage just to feel good about himself). And Silver means fame and prestige. As far as I know from the game exposition, you might be able to channel it or use it some way through the game, but not sure how much chance will I get to use it.

Same thing happened in Shadowrun: Hong Kong. Far too much text, not nearly enough substance.
I used to think Dragonfall was a bit too sparse on the dialogue, but after playing the sequel I've come to appreciate the former's brevity a lot more. Not to mention Dragonfall's distinct lack of fugly women, faggot orcs, autistic nigger dwarves, cheating she-trolls, and shaolin trannies.

You are aware that in Planescape: Torment you play as a rotting sack of meat shaped like a human being and only with 10 charisma do people tell you that you could visibly pass as just an ugly man?

That UI looks like it rather belongs in a sci-fi RPG than it does in an actual Torment game

It really says something about today's character design doesn't it?

The Nameless One was a very unique design even in its own time period. Even to this day the games where you play as a visibly decaying corpse can probably be counted on one hand.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about the side characters.

also what the fuck is it with these portraits

wew.

Lazy photoshopping.

But TNO wasn't decaying, he was just scarred to hell and back. Take that away, and he was actually Pretty handsome.

(Checked)
Jesus.

Numenera, the original tabletop RPG, is a Sci-Fi Fantasy game. So yeah, it comes with the territory.

Looks like stockphotos overlayed with some shitty photoshop effects to save money.
Looks pretty garbage but when money's short you do what you have to do.

The director or whatever of the nutorment is pozzed as fuck so don't expect anything good.

I recently was called a cod and lol kid for shit talking bethesda.
These are grave times.

For a moment I thought that pic 4 is obongo.

blue raspberry Neo looks cool.

I can only feel pity for anyone that gave these cucks money.

You're right. I misread it as
>Why the fuck WRPG lately has to star such an ugly character design


I'm pretty sure he was described as rotting or decaying in the game at some point, though it might have been meant as an insult, or I might just be misremembering things. It's been a while.

I feel like I need to take a shower now

isn't felicia day's self insert in dragonfall ?

Marxism, not even once.

Anger is overrated. Let contempt be your new friend.

I don't think so. She was in Hong Kong, though.

Why does this meme exist? Have these people ever spoken to a muslim? A chinese?

FFS pakis in the UK have such a high level of inbreeding they are the leading cause of stillbirths and retard babies. They're so determined not to race mix they wont even fuck outside their family. Same is true in the middle east.

Just because some whites want to fuck browns, doesn't mean browns are happy having mixed race babies.

What an elf poser. Elves don't have faces like that. She just glued some elf ear implants on that mug of hers. Fake.

Why didn't find this before. Fuck, it's the first game I've spend money on in many many years.

Tranny 2:
Tides of NuMale era

That's the thing. Countless empires in ages past had a wide variety of ethnic groups within their borders yet no large scale racial mixing took place. If 10000 years of human civilization have not led to the rise of a brown race of goyim what makes them think the future will be any different?

Even with all the propaganda they bombard people with day in, day out the number of mixed race couples is minimal, but maybe the leftists masturbate to their ideal outcome of Western countries getting overrun by mudshits and niggers and raping the native populations into subhumanity.

Just replayed the first level in the Mortuary; I literally forgotten one of the morticians smells TNO and after retrieving what she wanted, she stitched up a wound, and put some embalming fluid on his skin and it made him feel better.

So you were right, my bad.

Have this thing ever look good a day it's life?

That second page is absolutely unfathomable.
On one hand they say -everyone- is going to become multi ethnic, browner and darker. The next sentence they say that makes it more interesting that everyone is the fucking same so they won't focus on race. So we made them all brown.

What they don't address is that "multi ethnic" doesn't mean everyone is the same race. There'll still be fucking racial divides. Are these people all equally 1/4th white, 1/4th black, 1/4th asian, 1/4th hispanic and there's no deviation? Absolutely shit. Just say it out loud: we want more brown people to out breed white people.

Quote from the game taken from Steam review :

"A spoken lie lasts but a breath, and those who hear it can answer with the truth. But a written lie lingers long past the lives of those who know it to be false, enduring until it can lead a whole race astray."

If those who hear a spoken lie can answer with the spoken truth, then wouldn't a written lie be answered by written truth that would then similarly "endure", making the whole quotation moot?

Pseudo-intellectual 2deep4u garbage.

Apparently despite having met the stretch goals there is no stronghold, the "second big city" is tiny and there's only one joinable faction.

Niglets today bully each other for having too light or too dark skin, so even if humans all mixed together you'd have reasons to differentiate them and thus for racism.

That certainly explains why it got released so suddenly.

...

You may end up with different ethnicities, but you'll always end up with racial variety. If anything, it will diversify more, not less. It's like those "scientists" have never heard about the concept of evolution and how it works. Even without branching off to a completely new species, you will get more genetic diversity in a species over time.

In their defense, they explicitly say "You can be a femme fatale wearing a chainmail bikini if you want."
First image, last paragraph.

I don't know if an armor made out of shitposts and memes would be all that strong

Still better than her Dragon Age Elf tbh

...

Guess she started the bioware trend of "ugly mugs are the in now".

They already have that. They're the Githzerai

Yup. Reminds me of the racial absurdity of the cast in the upcoming Battletech game. (Also made in Unity, proving that it's the engine of choice for nu-males with a shoestring budget.) Even disregarding the laughable premise - shitskins using White science and technology to colonize space - their admixture doesn't even make sense. We're supposed to believe that the future is wholly brown diverse, yet everyone is a piece of 50/50 mystery meat. That still implies the existence of pure races existing at least one generation ago.

Felicia Day is like fucking Mila Jovovitch except she isn't even married to any if these numale writer cucks.

Which is amusing because if you look at the big name characters in BT lore they're all white.

And she doesn't have an ounce of charisma.

But that's D&D and I thought Tides is only a ripoff of Plan escape?

Touche.

Thx autocorrect

She is a disgusting creature with the face of a camel that has no right being as omnipresent as she is.


And this on top of the fact that none of these people would even know, let alone care, what any of the ethnicities in the description mean. They'd identify according to their House or planet, that's assuming such a racemixed future is even possible, let alone plausible. History and current humans teach us that getting the goyim to interbreed is not remotely easy.

Also, as is typical for leftists, the "rules for thee but not for me" spiel applies. Pic related.

Planet Escape: Tournament.

it would make sense if the game was about a ragtag team of minorities killing off interplanetary civilization and fucking around with the remains until it collapses.

Yea, even Mila had a few good roles before the RE movies. Day has never done anything except be mild nerdbait to begin with.

They already established new ethnicities and cultures, derived from earth cultures in the world design. And now they go backwards, and pants-on-head retarded backwards at that, just to virtue signal for the diversity mafia.

I did not spot my mistake until you pointed it out.

...

anything with the bugchaser Kris Avalon is guaranteed to be fullblown AIDS.

Whoa there

I presumed they explicitly say "You can be a femme fatale wearing a chainmail bikini if you want. BUT NOT IN OUR GAME".

But I may be wrong

More like "He"

Where is whities?

It's the future as seen by librurs.

The lines about playing a femme fatale in a bikini or playing a damsel in distress are prefaced with "Of course, choice is paramount."
Basically, though they may not include those elements themselves, they won't deny a player the right to play into those tropes.

Basically, "It's quite literally the least we could do."

See

Dog is right.

It does not explain asians. Why they are still light skinned?

They all turned into european/asian halfbreeds due to white women going to feminism making men go after the next best thing they can.

Ever see black on asian porn?

Do you reccomend it?

...

It's rare enough to be considered a fetish.

You ARE trying to make me sad.

Oh, now I see your point.

SJWs violating lore once again for the sake of diversity and shitting on white people, again.

I am certain at this point that the proglibs see it as their goal to rewrite all of popular culture so it fits into their diversity psychosis. Be it video games, books or movies.

Not explicitly but implicitly, through typical leftist passive-aggressive snark. "Of course you can play a sexist cryptopatriarchal stereotype that only serves to reinforce gender oppression and arouse cis-het white males. Why wouldn't you?"

Anyone care to talk about the game? I DLed it, but purple prose turned me off within 20 minutes. Does it get any better?

If more purple prose is better, then yes.

Kill yourself.

Considering the kind of work SJWs put out I wouldnt expect any sudden upswing in quality, maybe this game is different though

Thought so. Uninstall.exe it is.
In all seriousness, something is seriously wrong if a successor to a game that prizes itself on the quality of its writing goes for quantity>quality. I am actually tempted to uninstall it.

It's not a new pattern, either. Leftists will invariably enter a non-leftist organization/group and slowly but surely turn it into a vehicle for their ideology. They do it by only hiring other leftists, discriminating against non-leftists, and outright abusing power. The commie Antonio "the Hunchback of Sardinia" Gramsci dubbed it "the long march through the institutions". Every shitlib for the past three generations has been programmed to follow this directive. It's why leftists spread like cancer wherever they go, unless you take direct, harsh measures to keep them out.

...

"Cancer" seems like the most appropriate comparison. Needs "toxic" chemo to get rid off.

That is why It is extremely hard to find employment in industrly not completely overrun by thought police.

That's why I keep telling people that there is no point in tolerating leftists or trying to find common ground. They have no wish for compromise, or if they do express such a wish it is merely a ploy to buy time so they can burrow themselves a little deeper and maneuver around you.

The only solution to their behavior is proactively keeping them out of any community you care about, because if you do not take steps to keep them away they will destroy it from within.

Codex interview won't be half as forgiving and tame, faglord.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Actually, that sounds a lot like Muslims.

Leftists and Muslims do have a lot in common. Not the least of which is their pathological hatred for white, Christian men.

What about game/ Can we play it without kills?

...

From now on only Larian gets my money.

...

Oh boy.

Are there different portraits for the male and female PC?

Whoa, reported.

Tell me. I do not follow Larian, but I am curious.

...

They're made of the same progressive clay as inxile and obsidian. When Hatred was coming out Sven, the Larian boss, was being triggered on twitter how this is very bad.

So the usual. I see.
Thank you friend.

From the merry band of autistic basement dwellers of the Codex, here is a compiled list of everything that the kikes cut from the game.

...

Disappointing, but not surprising.

I run char creation again and did not see any portrait selection there.

And there it goes. Better play Torment again.

There is none, but you can chose your chromosomes, and I was wondering if you leave out a Y if your portrait is different than if you include it.

I think I may actually give GameStop my copy, cut my losses.

Yeah I think this is one of these games that make you appreciate older titles and nothing more. Not that I had any hopes or expectations, not after Wasteland 2 or inxile stupid poll regarding Numenera combat.

On the other hand I really loathe UI style. It seems to fit to some mobile game.

Made for the consoles. They released it on those too.

Only if there's a written truth accompanying the written lie. I see what you mean that people can still answer a written lie with truth. They should've just removed the bit after the comma as that makes it seem like an excuse: "I only tell these lies pal, I don't write them down or nuthin'. I give that task to the game designers."

Wait, you mean BEAMDOG GOT TO RAPE ANOTHER CRPG AGAIN?

FUUUUUCK

What's with the ugly art direction? Everything looks like it was designed by decent concept artists but completely ruined by shit models, textures, and lighting.

Note how much copypasted shit there is in the third pic. Also, it all looks washed out and discolored, hence why it's ugly.

It also has a serious case of empty world syndrome, like the level designers only put the main arrangements in and left the rest without details.

I, for the love of Jesus Christ, do not understand this. It doesn't look good. It will never look good. If anything, because of higher resolutions, they actually end up looking worse now than they did in the 90s.

Why for the love of god would ANYBODY decide to make their game look like this.
Jesus fucking christ, if you can't do full 3D then just fucking hire good 2D artists.
This is making my corneas rot.

The creative output of the people working at Obsidian and inXile peaked around the time Baldur's Gate 2 came out, hence why all they seem capable of making these days is inferior BG2 knock-offs with none of the charm of the IE games.

But that would require them to actually put in some effort instead of using the kickstarter as a way to finance their soapboxing.

Not even worth a pirate. Oh well

Well back to Arcanum.

wow
that looks like ass

Wasteland 3 will look even worse.

Good thing I never gave any money to these crowdfunding shits

Prerendered backgrounds could look amazing on toasters if the artists took advantage of all the improved hardware and rendering techniques we have nowadays, but most game developers are talentless faggots. The real money for CGI artists is in advertisements and commercial software development for programmers, so video games are mostly left with the failures and the self-taught.

This shit was done by InExile.

Backed them, got the game, actually trying to play it. Now how the fuck am I supposed to rest in this game? The inn costs 20 shins, cultists cost 40, I only managed to loot 14 from some bird mutant corpse. I try to google this shit and I find that the Inn used to cost 2 shins per character in your party but I guess they changed that in a patch. How the hell am I supposed to continue in this game if my character can't do anything because he can't rest?

That's quite the kick to the shin.

...

You gotta be more progressive, bro

Sage disappeared.
Check em.

Why the fuck are there like 2 pages about genders and sex? Fucking SJW faggots ruining everything. I want a FUN GAME, not a dyke simulator.

Lurk moar

Of course they place their one black and one asian workers in the front as well so everyone can see how virtuous they are

Except the Asian guy hidden to the far right. Must have been a Trump voter or something.

Reboots are truly csncer, no matter which title or which medium, modernists turn everything they touch to shit.

Except La Mulana

Where the magnet at?

Shit, I remember hearing that they were cutting content and I lost interest. Looks like it was the right decision. Sucks though, I was kind of hoping since it was turn-based that it would turn out to be good.

On a different note, are there any other good recent turn-based tactical games? I enjoyed Age of Decadence and Dungeon Rats and somewhat enjoyed Divinity: OS (this game drags on forever).

...

Tides of SJW Cancer

fuck this game

To be fair they are talking about a kind of extradimensional jellyfish so yeah,unlike mammals it actually could be multigendered or genderfluid.

Gender is something applied to words, the word you're looking for is "sex"

Aside from that it's a pointless line (just like these seen in Tyranny regarding Overlord sex). Why the fuck would anyone ask such question upon seeing similar creature? You can almost hear CURRENT YEAR in the background.

companion portraits are so fucking ugly. writing is shit too literally fanfic tier.

Endings are fucking shit.

How moddable is this game?
Could we Holla Forumsarize it?

Here's hoping.

What do you THINK?
(Of course not.)

...

Whoops didn't read the whole thread yet.

DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS

"He" is the default go to for neutral address in english to things that are biologically alive, saying something is "it" instead of he establishes context that something about the being you addressed is abnormal in some way.

I specifically remember them saying there was going to be like a dozen+ tides. Holy shit did they cut everything. Where did all the fucking money go? They even had half of the engine work get down by Obsidian

gog version torrent up on iptorrents if anyone cares. going to see this wreck of a game myself

It used to be that you can have only one dominant Tide. But iirc, the kikestarter goal was reached and that goal allows you to have two dominant Tides e.g. Blue/Silver, and the 'Idealist' Tide (True Neutral/All Tides are equal which is pretty damn near impossible seeing that you have five meters to deal with). These might be the 'dozen' you are talking about

this is actually convincing me to buy the game!
Quick! Somebody plase say that i'm a faggot!

Oh my goodness, what the fuck.

WHY DO THEY HAVE TO RUIN EVERYTHING THAT I LIKE

Just wow, what a piece of crap.

I'm so fucking bored so far. I'm clicking glowy circles and just randomly picking the options lol

I don't see a problem with this.

The thing in a cage is some tentacles thing, so ti's gender is up in the air.

Jesus fucking christ. Looks like I'm not missing out on much

I read on Steam that they casualized and made combat turn based so it would be playable with a controller. They basically backstabbed the kikestarters to sell out to consolepleb. Disgusting.

Because there is nothing that fills a leftist with as much disgust as white, heterosexual men having fun and being happy.

So I can assume those tentacle creatures in my Japanese porn aren't automatically male but could be female's with a fascination for big tits?

Oy vey.

I understand there's some cut content, but I don't care because I didn't back it.
I also see there's progressive shit in there. But that only makes me roleplay a shitlord?

Can I have fun being a shitlord in here?
Please answer, my torrenting of this is at stake.

Why does every character including myself seem to be some racemixed shitskin mongrel?

it's only 4gb. But no you don't get to select your character. You are a mulatto who looks androgynous. So far I've instantly been included into a party with fucks I don't want to be with. Not a fan.

Because it's LITERALLY CURRENT YEAR+1.000.000!!!!!

...

Strange how the same people scream we need diversity when games are filled with white people and race cannot come into play.

combat is really fucking bad lol and I hate my companions as well as the lack of truly interesting dialogue options. Guess I'll pirate the gold version if that ever comes out.

Any time people try to make fiction directly relevant to the real world it's judaism at work

I've played like 8 hours of it so far and I haven't liked a single thing about it, it has Pillars syndrome of long texts leading up to nothing and conveying little information.

A lot, or even most of the text in this game feels pointless, side characters have little stories, but they aren't interesting or have any actual purpose to them, nor will they ever be mentioned again.

I will play through it since I am an Obsidiandrone (I haven't backed any kikestarter game, thankfully and pirated everything past New Vegas), but fuck

Rules for thee but not for me.

They did the same shit with science fiction. In the golden age the stories were about adventure and excitement, about the manly, blonde, blue eyed male lead rescuing the damsel from the evil aliens. Then (((Asimov))) and his ilk came along and introduced the idea of using science fiction as an allegory for current political issues.

You need to do a quest and/or sell some shit for cash then optimize your resting as much as you can, basically deplete your and your companions pools of points while making as much progress as possible before couching that 40 bucks for the cultist because the inn cost 20 shin PER COMPANIONS.

You'll rarely get fucked in the ass by the time sensitive quests that way because resting is so, so expensive.

No shit, those people are a freak show, don't act so surprised. Did you know kids can be transexuals over there? lol

Every fucking time the same shit. Developing games is more easier than ever; And the resources and data about vidyamaking are so accesible. But still developers cant into good games.

Because a big part of the gaming industry has been subverted by parasites

Who are also much less smart and creative than they think they are. Operational blindness and Dunning-Kruger at work.

If they were smart and creative they wouldn't be leftists.

...

SHIGGY DIGGY

EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL!
Believing otherwise is naive an ignorant.
The purpose of every form of media is to spread political ideology. Failure to not employ a medium in that matter is not a worthwhile use of that medium.
If we don't indoctrinate everyone, "they" will do it.
We are on the right side of history and you would be wise and morally good to be with us.
Failure to support us empowers the opposition and makes you an instrument to their cause, thus; your lack of action pits you against us.

Holy fucking shit, these people are insane, what a fucking cancerous pile of disease.

That's what you get when you don't keep leftists out of your communities. They are programmed to subvert and take over and will do so if given the opportunity.

'Gender' is a magical abstract of what sex somebody feels like they are (or, via tumblr's recent scientific breakthroughs, an abstract of literally anything you fucking want, mr. seaspongegender). They're not talking about its sex organs, they're talking about xer's identity and pronouns, shitlord.

???

It's what happens when you don't beat women if they start thinking they're people.

Wrong.
Creative industries like this, especially when centered in California, attract lefty types due to their artistic nature. It's not a prerequisite. What happened is a bunch of useless women and their beta male followers noticed this industry is still young and growing and decided to scam it. How? They're not skilled enough to actually make games on any level, no, they market themselves as "speakers" and "diversity consultants", jobs a monkey could do. Dumb companies think this will earn their company cred, notoriety and ultimately more cash. However, SJW's don't buy what they ask for and so this thing is a massive money drain for everyone except the scam artists.

This is the third time this week I have to search the name to be reminded of what it is. When will this open world sandbox meme die?

University teaches them to seek out communities that have not yet been subverted, infiltrate them and attain positions of power. Leftist ideology can only continue to exist if there is no dissenting opinions left to challenge them.

Dear game developers:

You should not attempt to make your characters "well-rounded" or "complex". They are empty vessels the player acts through. Any detail about their character is superfluous. Stop trying to make video games a second movie industry. Fuck off you talentless hacks.


Because playing as a sick old man in a wheelchair is just as fun as a jumping superhero, right?


Gender IS irrelevant. You are playing as the character. Just because Lara Croft has big tits and nice hips doesn't mean the game is ABOUT her T & A. Show me a game that delves into the character's identity and I'll show you a dating simulator.

If this isn't a dating simulator it's out-of-place. If it is, nobody will give a fuck anyway.

I went to college and never saw "how to subvert society 101" on the curriculum. Where are you getting this from?

What the fuck do you think Women's Studies is supposed to be?

A joke?

WOMIN STUDIES A JOKE CONFIRMED

Well, yes, it is a fucking joke when you're not high on Marxist pozz, but to them it's a gospel.

And it's not just limited to clearly leftist subjects since something like 80% of university professors subscribe to a leftist worldview, even supposedly reputable areas of academic study like economics and history are subverted towards indoctrination of gullible young leftcucks.

Like the pic I posted explains, they need to bring about a counter hegemony, and they started this plot with academia that then indoctrinated all the students to further aid in spreading their ideological poison everywhere.

I'm in college now and I can tell you that any sort of humanities or social sciences course is basically taught by the academic personification of tumblr. I have to take an art history course and the professor (male) literally sad the words "you can see how fragile masculinity was in the 20th century". Even in my speech class (which all students have to take) our professor essentially wanted to get one of us to volunteer for what was an anti-trump speech.

Anons mention underrail a lot. You could try that one.

Well, that was a waste of download.

And just for the sake of diversity they manage shoehorn in a woman wearing a hijab, in a game set 1 billion years in the future. That's just plain all retarded.

Depends on the old man, doesn't it? What if that cripple pilots a giant ass spider mech or something? How about if he starts a mongolian weaving cult in order to bang traps and summon Moloch? The potential is there but the execution is shit.

Sex as in the act of sex can be a great plot device or even a simple milestone. Muh gender irrelevant is the rallying cry of the shieldmaiden tier history revisionists that push stronk female and sappy man littlebitch characters into every uniform or position of power whether they fit or not, ie Bioware. As for Lara's tits and ass - maybe the games are not about them but they're still their best remembered feature.

Honestly, you seem to have very linear views. And that's saying something coming from a borderline stromfag.

I could give less of a shit about diversity of any kind. Games need to go back to pandering to the white, male, heterosexual demographic. Tall, good looking, muscular men that rescue damsels and fuck their harem of bitches while smashing nigger skulls into the pavement.

I'm fucking tired of all the leftist screeching that games need to be "artistic" and "mature" (meaning, pozzed and Marxist). They can fuck off and take all their retarded idiocy along with them.

don't miss that gay parade, americuck :^)

Worth a pirate or not?

Not as such. Battletech has straight up mudslimes, buddhists, militant quakers and all kinds of real world religions and cultures surviving (and having revivals) because muh isolated colonies. And even one of the major periods is described as the Jihad. Of course I don't see them featuring a Northwind Scot or Loxley Celt in their lineup


How's that much better? You're still stifling the story and ultimately the quality of the game with shoehorned politics.

If there's a point, as in a valid, interesting reason to have a nigger, a spic or a whatever character then go for it. You want a coloured PC, fine, how about instead of no one notices he's a nigger in medieval Czech you try something new and make a Zulu RPG? Or at least make it interesting. Hide your face, avoid flagellants trying to burn you because you curdled their goats milk and shit.

Having Genghis Khan go draw pilgrim is barely any less retarded then having Heimdal go shieeet.

Battletech lore is already retarded as fuck, but HBS made it doubly so, which is a feat to be admired if only because it proves how fucking moronic leftists are.

Because it actually panders to the audience keeping vidya going.

Games do not have to be apolitical, why would they? The issue here isn't that games reflect the leanings of the developers, but that the left wants to crowd out any views that are not their own.

I could give less of a shit about Gone Home besides mocking it here, the left is free to shit out all the pretentious walking simulators they want, my problem starts when they shame and bully other developers that could clearly give less of a fuck about muh diversity/intersectionality/judaism into shitting up their game for a demographic that will never play them.

There is never one, unless the game is about killing them. And fuck you for posting that pozzed, ahistorical piece of trash of a movie.

Because outside of virtue signaling to keep rabid Marxist off your back no one gives a fuck about Zulus and their "culture". The simple truth is that niggers, spics and mudshits are not interesting.

As Vavra said, why is it his job to supply the rest of the world with culture? Why aren't spics, mudshits and niggers making their own games?

Tides of NuMaleEra

Spot on. From now on, this should be the nickname of Numerera.

Shit, my ignorance strikes again.
But if they're justifying it with "isolated colonies", why weren't there isolated colonies of people with certain races and ethnicities?
I understand that an idea like religion might be easier to maintain over the years, but I feel like they’re trying to have cake and eat it too, going by their logic.

...

Don't worry, no one really gives a flying fuck about the lore or plot of Battletech. It's all stupid shit on top of even more stupid shit. Why do you think the Mechwarrior games almost make it a point to keep the plot as vague and obscure as possible and always take place far away from canonical fluff events?

Because then you'd have pure whites and East Asians in the cast, and that's not kosher at all.

This is just HBS being about as lazy as it gets with their virtue signaling. The only way they can top it is if they shoehorn a tranny in there somewhere and make you fight white supremacists.

Honestly, melee mechs alone deserve a fair chance so I'll wait until some firsthand experience to decide whether it's the worst. mw. game. ever.

And again some very linear views. To risk sounding Holla Forums if people can and do get enjoyment from going to zoos to watch chimps throw shit at each other who's to say you can't present an interesting story starring a whatever? But yeah, that would both require creative talent and lack muh progressive shit.


They are and there are. For example you have entire communities that more or less maintained their ancestry for centuries, again say the famous Northwind Highlanders that are literally a collection of Scottish clans or the Eridani that for a long time drew their members from former SLDF members and their descendants.

And those are some of the best known mercs out there. Now imagine boondock worlds, feudal worlds that limit travel, religious communities, clan shit, one of the 9000+ instances where parts of the galaxy ended up cut off since travel suddenly stopped being possible and more.


Grey Death Legion did nothing wrong.

Please drink bleach.

Because no one gives a shit. No. One. Despite leftists being so dominant not even they can summon the fucks to give and make a game about niggers being niggers, and trash like "We Are Chicago" sells like ass.

And do you know why no one gives a fuck? Because nigger culture is shit, always was and no matter how much you spin it it always will be. Cucked historians might talk about African KANGZ and the Swahili kingdom, but when is anyone gonna give a fuck about a bunch of mudhuts and getting raped by mudshits?

Maybe if niggers weren't dirt poor subhumans there would be a market for a game about Africa culture and folklore, but I doubt the coons would care even if they did have money, since all they seem to spend it one is weave, shoes, nail extensions and rims.

Why would I even remotely support games about niggers when there's so much mythology and history about whites and East Asians to experience that doesn't boil down to Jamal and Tyrone chucking spears at each other to determine who gets to eat bat meat full of Ebola?

It's basically 40k but without all the over-the-top shit that makes it work.

Hell, the Jihad is started by a fucking telecom company. How lamer can you get?

President Zaphod Beeblebrox does it again!!

BT sounds more like "its exactly like Earth but more stereotypical and in SPESS"

Sounds interesting.

It's especially stupid since the Houses have spent centuries fighting each other and only ever really stopped when they ran out of people to wage war with.

You'd expect a lot more vitriol, racism and hatred to exist in such a setting, yet everyone behaves like a 20th century Western liberal. The only time you encounter overt bigotry is with the Clans, and even they limit it to freeborns.

Racism and sexism might not be a thing in a setting that is ostensibly backwards and post-apocalyptic. You're right when you say it feels like you're on modern day Earth with how bland, samey and inoffensive everything is. At least with 40k you get to see some hardcore religious fanaticism going on (though IG novels are disappointingly tame in that regard despite the IG being the one army that would benefit from fanatical faith above all else).

this shits boring

Rcism between houses isnt really a thing because today's enemy is tomorrow's ally and this is specially true when the clan invasion started

You think you can't be racist toward your allies?

every time

It is harder to openly proclaim your hate towards someone you've been allied with in the past and you'll probably be forced to ally in the future, I guess, just my impression from playing the games. Doesn't mean it doesnt exist, but it's not a main concern or political stand because of its futility
On the few stuff I've read that is a recurrent topic, how the people from one house is now fighting a former ally and allegiances come and go, or how people feel hatred towards a specific character because they used to be at war with his house and they are forced to ally now

Even in the old Battletech people of different races pretty much kept to themselves on different world within Inner Sphere.

I'm not into the whole edgier then thou alt-right shit so I'd rather not, but thanks for the offer. As for you talking out of your ass San Andreas for example sold like hotcakes. So it's not fair to say look this is trash because it had niggers - it's trash even without said niggers.

No, it started when certain conservatives teamed up with certain noble houses to stop progressives from reforming the (newly)reformed government. It's far more related to Dune and has precisely zero references to 40k.


It also happens to be bullshit.

Oh yea, you're definitely baiting.

Prejudice, animosity and xenophobia were pretty rampant from what I can remember in the old books.

dropped, fuck that shit.

San Andreas had GTA in the title. Mafia 3 on the other hand sold like shit.

If only the Hollywood kikes didn't have to reduce the presence of nignogs in their advertising outside of the West. Clearly even they know niggers actively drive audience away. No one likes niggers.

Comstar is a glorified telecom company LARPing as the Mechanicus. It's cringy trash just like every other piece of Battletech lore.

I see extrapolating bullshit presented as facts as well as Holla Forumsuting that goes past your average loveable rightfag and goes into the over the top parody side of things. Honestly, call it what you want.


Yeah? Mafia 2 also sold like shit.

Depending on the period ComStar regulates mercs and independent worlds, almost all of the innersphere R&D, almost all of the regulated shipping, and almost all of the legislative or civil functions from courts to schools, hospitals and diplomatic mediation.

They're somewhat equivalent to Mechanicus, Munitorum, Adeptus Terra, Adeptus Astronomica and Ministorum. But it's also a shit comparison since their influence, and the influence of various factions changed so much between different periods.

God fucking dammit. I waited years for this shit.

But that's how it should be, gotta save the best for last.

fuck off back to leftypol where you belong, you derailing off topic faggot

Its like they trying to fail.

There will only be two possible resolutions to the issue of gender, either we go back to gender = sex with ambiguity in regards to hermaphrodites or we disregard the concept of gender completely due to languages dropping gender specific terms (outside of anything related to sex).

I will tolerate a game that takes place in the modern day or the near future pulling this social justice shit because there are obviously people in the real world that do, but the retards that wrote this game clearly have no idea how radically culture is going to shift over this much time. We won't even be speaking English or anything resembling a current language at that point let alone arguing about made up genders.

Oh my sweet summer child, ignorance is truly bliss. The setting takes place a billion years into the future. Not only that, but apparently these are not even homo sapines, but a new breed of humans that evolved in that far future, that just so happen to act and talk like 21st century San Francisco hipsters, and are concerned with the same moronic issues they are.

Are you fucking retarded?

Here's your reply

The fuck? If what you say is true then I don't even see how the OG Planescape Torment would make much sense, is it actually worth playing or is it just a meme game?

I never played it if that wasn't clear and only knew about it being far into the future from this thread.

Is that pre-rendered?

Right from the horse's mouth .

Torment is not a direct sequel to PST, just a "spiritual" one, that somehow manages to fuck up everything that made PST memorable.

PST or Torment? PST is worth a playthrough, sure. Torment is a turd and you can safely ignore it.

PST takes place in the Dungeons and Dragons setting, only that it's the multiverse you get to experience and not the more popular Forgotten Realms.

Ok thanks, I'll check out PST then.

Just remember that Wisdom is the single most important stat and to play as a mage so you can just cheese your way through the shitty combat.

Thanks for the tips, turns out I already have a GOG installer from some pack of them an user posted in another thread.

There's a bunch of fan patches around worth grabbing and a higher resolution and widescreen mod IIRC.

The GoG forum section of the game should have a good list of all the worthwhile mods to grab.

...

In a billion years we won't be "multi-ethnic" we won't even be human anymore, A billion is a 1000 million. 4 Billion years ago we were single celled organisms, we were monkeys 7 million years ago. This game and its developers are fucking dumb.

Does the combat get any less shit?

...

I just hope that Dakkon or any of the people from the original are in that game. It would degrade their memory. I am ashamed this came to pass.

...

What did xe mean by this?

Who wrote this, the Pratchett girl?

From what I am able to ascertain from getting spoiled ahead in the story, main character is talking to an alien whose quest is to learn the various species methods of making babies.

Any mods to make the MC white yet?

...

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Do they have no self awareness? Did they not read even the most basic textbook on writing prose? And here I thought nothing would top Pillars of Boredom with that shit

this shit sounds like the start of an eRP

rage

Sterling writing right here.

Conversation with that char is disappointing anyway. It seems like they tried to make a joke about human sex as seen from perspective of an alien, but comes off as shitty writing. So I guess it matches overall quality.

On the other hand, pics related. I didn't thought for a second they could make an option of selling your loli companion as a slave. Even in location that is supposed to be twisted evil something. Bah.

How can somebody write something this nonsensical?

Just a (((coincidence))).

It's utter shit, stopped playing as soon as I reached the first city.

It's trying too hard to be cooky and randumb XD, and is filled with SJW garbage.

Not to mention that it was hyped as some sort of Planescape spiritual sequel, and it has nothing to do with it.

How fucked am I.

i'm downloading it out of curiousity but i do have question and that is how evil you can be in the game?

The brain damage is terminal.

The point is not whatever sex the octopus belongs to, but 1. having that talk about pronouns and 2. listing male, female, genderless and many genders as possibilities.

Looks like another attempt from proglibs to rewrite classics with propaganda.

At least they are being realistic about gender-fluid things being horrible blobs. Much like actual trannies.

The system seems complete retard.

So you get brain/speed/str points and they are refreshed by resting but if you rest the story progresses?

What is the fucking point.

I'd put money on that being some part of the design process.

It was badly adapted from the PnP. You gain those points back by resting, but they will not be full. In the original, you gain 1d6+Tier stat that they removed through a rest, and you allocate those points to your depleted pool each time you rest. First rest of the day is a few seconds as in catching your breath, second takes 10 minutes, third take an hour, and fourth take ten hours. Your pool are a lot higher than in this game (no HP, damage goes to appropriate pool e.g. mental assault goes to brain, an arrow goes to might).

The adaptation was plain retarded in every single imaginable way. An abortion, abomination of the original system that fucks shit up more than it solves for 'simplicity'.

Anyway, the game is half-assed turd of numeshill universe advertisement. PnP adaptation is abysmal and in no fucking way fitting for a PC game, story is shit, gameplay is shit, lack of options is shit, lack of polish is shit.
Buuuuut, gaympad support! 8.8/10 shekeljourno screenshot on front page! Multiplat! And new book thanks to kikestarter!

This game is Pillars of Eternity spinoff, same levels of crap but presented in different way.

...

Not sure what race is muslims but arabs in general mix a lot especially with the asians they accidentally impregnate on their vacations. The Indians and pakis usually don't mix since they tend to have difficulties in communicating with anyone but their own kind.

that's the exact same kind of thinking they have about you, and it's exactly why they do it

Leftists justify their insanity through projection and double-think all the time.
