do you really need to ask?

What do you think?

It's good, right?

But I'm just asking out of curiosity. Humanity has always asked about the gender of everything, which is how we arrived at the current point of knowledge.

Not just any male.

a Nu-Male.

the framerate is godawful. I've only played about 15 minutes but they got rid of the overly long intro choose your character bit which is good because that shit was boring.

...

Someone will unironically defend this dogshit writing.

Yikes.

What do you think?

So it's great then.

>90% of the dialogue is centered on the sex of various characters
>MUH SJW BOOGIEMAN YOU POLACKS ARE SO PARANOID NOTHING TO SEE HERE

Thank the fuck christ for the dataminers who found out about all the cut content, since inXile were going to keep it under wraps until release.

>orchestral score dropped entirely (stretch goal)
>just 3 of the 5 intended classes, flavorless warrior/rogue/mage triad
>only 3 foci (basically character customizations), just one intended for each class (melee, stealth, and mind-reading; they initially claimed plans to include 20+ out of the 64 to choose from in the tabletop game)
>weapon/armor/numenera/cypher/consumables crafting, dropped entirely (multiple stretch goals)
>Oasis, a second major quest hub, dropped entirely (stretch goal)
>three companions, two of them non-human, all dropped (multiple stretch goals)
>factions (and cults), which they talked up in multiple posts both during and after the kickstarter campaign, dropped, though there is a single faction in the game that you can choose to join or ignore (multiple stretch goals)

On top of that, it appears they dropped a bunch of the character background legacies (stretch goals unlocked 16 total), and they were just forced to admit that they never did the Italian localization they promised (I don't speak Italian but it's still shitty to promise it and never follow through). There's also the player stronghold (another stretch goal), which seems to be even less fleshed out than the turd we got with Pillars of Eternity, and it remains to be seen if any of their early promises of "amazing reactivity" based on player choice actually materialize.

inXile can eat my balls.

Don't you have a cow to rape, Poojeet?

You want rage?
Go to the steam reviews and watch thousands of cucks screaming at bad reviews because they just don't get the game and that it is so good its better than the 'original'.

By allowing incompetent SJW trash on their team, that's how.

Cheers bud. Wasn't even going to play it, but might as well if it's given to me so easily.

>and that it is so good its better than the 'original'
It genuinely is though.

>2017
>not using proper pronouns

...ugh, how ... problematic.

One of the lead writers of Numenera.

No worries, just doing my part to make sure no one else suffers from the same buyer's remorse I did.

Damn the combat is really fucking tough.
Mainly because it's hard to get through an entire Crisis without the game hanging up.

>inb4 another 500 post thread of Sup Forumss autistic screeching

Please tell me you are kidd-
>it's real
Oh god FUCKING damnit. How the fuck is it possible this game and its developers keep getting more and more absurd?

Have we not reached maximum levels of ridiculousness yet?

Jesus, they people should be fucking gassed.

>wanting to murder people over a fetish
wew lad

Nice.

Reminder that there are only 7k people playing this trash on release day, which is literally half the number of concurrent peak players for Tyranny or Wasteland 2, LMAO.

This SJW shit can't bomb hard enough.

Solid review, didnt know russians actually did good reviews.

>tfw Planescape gets a spiritual sequel
>it sucks
>tfw the same will happen if VtM:B gets an spiritiual sequel
I dont want this, it aldready happened with fallout and TES

>le Sup Forums boogeyman

Funny before the Sup Forums spill over Sup Forums shit on agenda and or forced sjw writing games.

God, you fags are so annoying. Playing with gender has been around in scifi for ages. The whole fucking genre is about unpacking and exploring the norms that people take for granted. Read any of "The Culture" novels and stop virtue signaling for your nazi LARP friends.

It is just adding yet another straw to break the camel's back at this point.

If the only thing wrong with this game was that one author was into BDSM 50 shades of grey shit, it might not have ended up as this big of a clusterfuck.

Reminder that inXile LITERALLY approached some gay show producer to voice a character that is unavoidable to encounter in order to reach out to the LGBT community.

It's a floating half-sentient, half-machine tentacle monster. I'm pretty sure it's not about tranny pronouns. But you know that as well as I do.

Not really a torment problem. It's an inxile problem.

I get the second 2/3rds but come on
>he actually wants watered-down classes/stats/foci/etc

It's Greek, but yea. Europeans are typically more honest. Especially those who aren't in the rich "multicultural utopia" countries.

>Sup Forums crying about being called Sup Forums
Never name the Sup Forums I guess.

All of their games are shit though.
Wasteland 2 is literally Fallout Tactics with a piss poor attempt at a story.
Tyranny was poor mans attempt at BG2 but a massive fuck up because you didnt give a shit about the world or the characters, not to mention the literally teaser ending for the '2nd' game, lol they fucking wish.
As for Torment, I played it early access and refunded that shit.

Writer. Editor. Leximaven. Game Girl. Vorpal Blonde. Bisexual Brainlicker. Midas's Touch. Schrödinger's Brat.

Sup Forums - whiny babies who will play the game anyway

No, I want what they promised. This isn't it.

Sup Forums - Video Games & Defending Trannies

Nice try.

I'm so happy to see it bombing so hard.

Fuck inXile, and fuck the faggots shilling this game.

I have to say, there's one thing that only inXile so far managed to do for me

making me regret pirating their games

first with Wasteland 2 (what a waste of time downloading that shit)

now with numale Torment

Right. Just a coincidence.

delet this right now

Shills are working overtime on steam.
Seriously the amount of faggots screaming at neg reviews are fucking hilarious.

Bills user. I wrote the translation for some porn, it doesn't mean I'll never write anything half decent.

Though yeah at this point this is starting to look too much like a joke.

I unironically bought and loved the shit out of Wasteland 2. The multitude of roleplaying opportunities where your character skill choices provide you with alternative quest solutions was great and I do not regret buying this game in the slightest.

No way am I buying this SJW trash, though, no matter whether the game is actually good or not (it's not, from what I've seen from the """demo""" I've played). They have genuinely lost a customer in me because they have decided to shove this shitty agenda down my throat and I'm sure I'm not the only person like this.

Holy shit you aren't kidding, one of the negative reviews has almost 60 comments along the lines of

>OMG SO UNFAIR

Post the playable characters

Then why didn't the PC just ask "Why did you call it 'he'?". Or he could just answer it with "I don't know" without brandishing all that gender shit. It was a propaganda and you know it.

does it have romance?

>tfw you miss out on a companion and other important dialogue because you missed an NPC hidden under a clusterfuck of other NPCs

God... God Damnit.

The companion hidden inside the NPCs is literally less interesting than tertiary NPCs.

Confirmed by Darth Roxor himself.

You do realize this is exactly the type of nitpicking SJWs do, right?

>Sup Forums is tranny central
>this videogame is about tormenting nu males
>Sup Forums is tormented
like pottery

>No way am I buying this SJW trash, though, no matter whether the game is actually good or not (it's not, from what I've seen from the """demo""" I've played).

If the game is good(i'm not saying it isn't) it shouldn't matter.

One of order of amateur-hour deviantart tier drawings passed off as a professional final product, coming up!

It really detracts from all the other possible things you can nitpick when the conversations grind to a halt over pronouns.

>Or he could just answer it with "I don't know" without brandishing all that gender shit.

That is shitty writing. seeThis has always been a staple, don't screech about things you don't understand because you see "propaganda" (which just so happens to be propaganda from a position you don't endorse) in everything.

You talking about the bisexual mercenary? Or is there someone in the pile of yellow. 'cause I must've missed 'em too then.

>If the game is good(i'm not saying it isn't) it shouldn't matter.
It should. Videogames are a form of media just like books or movies. People refuse to read books or movies that advocate certain political, social or economic ideas, because they do not want to support people advocating those ideas with their money.

I would rather miss out on a good game than support SJW scum, but, fortunately, there's no good game to miss out on in this case.

You have no idea how happy this makes me.

This ruins my chances of finding some sucker to buy the CE off me at full price, but I don't even care. Seeing this legitimately makes me happy.

If it was about pronouns the npc would have been triggered by the pc assuming "he" meant male. Instead you get a long winded way of saying i don't know.

But if the viewpoint is done with nuance and care, and the writing is true, why not? Why not expand your mind? Why not make yourself uncomfortable? What is the point of staying in an intellectual echo-chamber your whole life?

So you're saying that you shouldn't hear differing beliefs because they will open your mind and you want to retreat to your safe space. Got you, fa᠎m

What the fuck are you trying to imply here, cunt?

That the guy voiced by an LGBT community celebrity (who was approached to voice the character) is the same as Annah because they also approached a celebrity (an actual one - Sheena Easton) to voice her?

Why do each of their faces look like they were photoshopped? Wait, let me guess, they had backer rewards to get yourself made into a character.

I was implying that the character companion portraits were extremely low quality, looking like something done by a freshmen in a Computer Design class.

It is painfully apparent they took real stock photos for the faces and made the images around them. Looks really jarring/uncanny.

Oh, I hear those beliefs plenty in every media outlet that tries to shove them down my throat, I just don't want to pay for hearing them.

>Why not expand your mind?
Because I don't want to and because I have a right not want to do so. The ideas they push are downright revolting to me and I refuse to consciously consume any sort of media that pushes them on me.

>It feels wrong to call something it, I prefer he, even though I don't know what it actually is.
How difficult. It's poor writing to even be in that position in the first place. Distracting as all hell and meaning. Should be implicit.

>Why do each of their faces look like they were photoshopped?

Because they are? Torment: Tides of Nu-Men-Era is literally "Cutting Corners: The Game"

Imagine shitpsoting if Planescape or VtM:B were released in 2017.

Good. I was stupid enough to back this shit, so I left my bad review (the early access content was dreadful) and I'll hope it flops.

I don't think people would care as long as they weren't this egregiously unsubtle with their agenda.

VtMB was shitposted to death in 2004 though, in fact the tabletop was known for being tumblr before tumblr was even a thing and widely disliked because of it.

Reviews so far are pretty good. I'll give it a chance, and avoid as many sjw dialogue options as possible

Is that a real dialog?

By the way, if you're looking to get a super strong character with Cheat Engine, then during character creation, check for how many numbers you spent on an ability, 4 bytes.

So spend 2 or 4 points on one ability, search 2 or 4, then drain it to no points in ability, search 0, etc.

And make sure to edit the points spent in ability stat when you're in a state where you can press Next.

Yea bro totally

makes the game sound truly amazing.

But one of the focuses of the game is about how long into the future humanity has evolved and changed so much that many of our prior concepts have also been modified to an extreme standard. Religion, social status, and yes gender. This sin't "propaganda" you whiny ideologue, this is science fiction. It is about concepts that are strange, foreign, or otherwise make you uncomfortable.

Hey I guess we also shouldn't allow the teaching of Kurt Vonnegut in schools because he advocated against war and stoopid libruals safe space hippies :( No more HG Wells because I get triggered when someone says something bad about muh muh muh no blood and gore because it's just propoganda guys

I fucking loathe you. I fucking hate all you. You and every other gigggling teenager on the internet. You and every other dyed hair obnoxious teenage girls. You and every other narrow-minded shithead. Fuck you

Thanks, holy shit that's awful.

Not all tabletop gamers are fucking psychos. But the ones I know play Vampire.

I guess it also shows what being a good game brings to the table. VtM:B still gets shitposted when it gets reposted, and each time you mention it someone reinstalls it.

Nigga, you need to calm down.

This game is trash, there is absolutely no need to denigrate high literature because you are angered people aren't enjoying the game.

Reddit might be more up your alley, desu senpai.

see

This. The biggest issue witht he game is that it's bad, not anything else.

If people want to complain about other issues, whatever.

But the game has shit RPG mechanics, shit writing (not even the content, but the actual quality of the writing), shit production values, and loads of cut content / dumbed down / rushed shit.

4.5 million dollars for this joke. InXile does it again.

>But one of the focuses of the game is about how long into the future humanity has evolved and changed so much that many of our prior concepts have also been modified to an extreme standard. Religion, social status, and yes gender.
so basically "the future" as envisioned by faggots? gotcha.

>These one thirdworlders wrote a legitimate review shitting on a good game, they are the only true reviewers and aren't just making a clickbait article to drum up attention

It's not about the game anymore, it's about narrow thinking. Anytime any game tries to discuss gender or any similar "sacred" thing it attracts cretins who purposefully misappropriate the discussion as "propaganda" and try to construe it to their own political narrative. I fucking hate it. You want a big reason to know why games don't have creative ideas or writing anymore? It's because these fucks and their tumblr counterparts always gets triggered at the slightest offense to their sensibilities instead of exploring new ideas.

The game is probably shit yeah, but it doesn't make any of you less retarded
