Not sure where you are trying to go with this - I mean exactly what I wrote: I'm unhappy that they are charging $51 AUD for a game they developed with taxpayer's money for just 10-20 hour gameplay.And are the problems with this game's development in spite of that funding---and likely interference---or because of it ?
$50 NZD across the ditch ($45 with discount), and our dollar is worth less than yours.$51 AUD (without release day discount) and it only has 10-20 hours gameplay? What a waste of taxpayer's money.
They really don't have much of a pedigree.I am sad that the narrative isn't receiving good reviews given the pedigree of two of the writers.
Yeah. Planescape Torment had bad writing.... MCA was the lead writer but Colin wrote several characters and a lot of the lore/item descriptions etc. Colin also literally created a massive chunk the Planescape setting at TSR.They really don't have much of a pedigree.
Yeah, that was primarily Avellone's baby. Sure, other people had input, but you can't really equate that to every other person who worked on it automatically has pristine pedigree.Yeah. Planescape Torment had bad writing....
Apologies, you are too quick with your responses!!! I should really take more time before I submit.Yeah, that was primarily Avellone's baby. Sure, other people had input, but you can't really equate that to every other person who worked on it automatically has pristine pedigree.
For sure. I'll also take the opportunity to add some more to my point.Apologies, you are too quick with your responses!!! I should really take more time before I submit.
Bomb? How so? It has positive reviews on Steam. I'm guessing you didn't like it? It made a modest profit for InXile but clearly not enough for a sequel of course. I understand that it was a fairly polarising game but it was the best game I played in 2017 (if my memory serves). It's hard to get people to read 1.2 million words with no/limited VA. And unlike BG3 those 1.2 million words are all pretty much story and not just race/class/origin/background variations.Yes, some people liked Numanera. Whatever someone makes, some people somewhere will like it. But, generally speaking, it was a forgettable bomb.
You now calling him someone with established pedigree is an almost perfect example of the concept of Failing Upwards.
My opinion is actually quite similar. The overall story and writing in T:ToN was excellent. The whole design of the Mere's and how their stories intertwine with the main narrative was brilliant. Yes, the writing in the first act was a tad heavy handed but it really does tell quite a poignant story if you put the effort in. Yes, the writing was inferior to Planescape: Torment. I can't think of many other games that tell a better written story though. I am happy to have my memory refreshed though. MotB maybe?A lot of praise has been given to this title for the writing, and rightfully so. The vocabulary and structure are an elegant delight to read and makes the intimidating undertaking of reading millions of words on a monitor before completion something to actually look forward to.
Sure? In 2017 also D:OS2 was released.it was the best game I played in 2017 (if my memory serves).
I normally play games a year after they release For D:OS2 it was quite some time later as I was waiting for a Definitive Edition like what we got for the first one!Sure? In 2017 also D:OS2 was released.
Broken Roads is an ambitious RPG that can’t meet the expectations it sets for itself. It asks you to invest in an intricate morality system only to not end up making good use of it, giving you choices that don’t lead to much. A lot of this could be forgiven if the story held up, but there really isn’t much of a story to begin with, despite the philosophical angle Broken Roads tries very hard to get across. Couple this disappointing journey’s interesting but poorly executed ideas with often busted combat, and Broken Roads lives up to its name in all the wrong ways.
Ouch. That sounds irredeemable. I wonder how they got it so wrong. Did they not listen to their playtesters or where their playtesters incompetent?The Steam score is sitting at 37% now. Ouch...
