All they have to do is patch in turn-based mode, and this instantly would sell a gorillion copies. Does Obsidian hate money?

>>3866577 (OP)
I don’t think a single person who hasn’t already bought the game would now buy it because they added turn based.
>t. Prefers turn based

>>3866577 (OP)
No, they hate white people.

Also RPGs.

>>3866577 (OP)
I usually prefer turn based, but turn based would be useless here. You have like 2-3 abilities you use, even when magic. All turn based would do is slow the game down a shit ton for no tactical improvement.

that game gud?

>>3866577 (OP)
I mean, PoE1 is getting a turn-based mode, but the problem is Paradox funded Tyranny and I have a feeling game was a mercenary job for Obsidian.

>>3866577 (OP)
>Does Obsidian hate money?

They don't own the IP. Per >>3866693, it's Paradoxe's.

>>3866693
obsidian also supposedly diverted funds from the game into poe2

>what about this old game that flopped?
It was bad, move on. You’ve been posting about this for years.

>>3866675
not really
the magic system was kind of neat and then when it reaches its full potential the game just ends
didn't play the dlc
pretty much all the party NPCs are shit

>>3866577 (OP)
It'd the kind of game that needs to be replayed to truly shine.

>>3866693
>I have a feeling game was a mercenary job for Obsidian.
It was loosely based on Avellone's old idea of a fantasy game where evil won, but to what degree is unclear.

>>3866675
No, one of the most overrated crpgs ever.

>>3866804
>overrated

The few people who did rate it, thought it was kinda garbage. We just have one sawyer autist on here who still posts about it years later.

Something like “Witcher 3” can be overrated - it generates a lot of attention and fans. This just kinda came and went and nobody cared.

>>3866739
that's fuddlore which is obvious by the fact that Paradox never ever pursued any sort of legal actions or even ever addressed those rumors

>>3866807
It's overrated within the /vrpg/codexosphere of crpg criticism.

>>3866577 (OP)
I'd want them to patch in the second half of the game

>>3866841
They can't
They don't have the rights
The game was so good, and the ending so extremely frustrating
I do not want to be reminded of this game, please don't bump this thread
I'm getting PTSD from being reminded it will never be complete

>>3866846

*laughs in Anachronox*

>>3866846
HEY THIS GUY
HE'S STUCK IN HIS ARMOR
HAHA
HE HAS TO SHIT IN HIS ARMOR
HAHAHA ISN'T THAT WEIRD

Had some novelty value doing a sort of "The Black Company" dark fantasy bad guy story, but it was let down by a) not going on long enough / finishing the story and b) gameplay friction. "Learn what you do" works much better when you're not managing a party with limited encounters, and the custom magic was fun until you realized that with the narrow parameters it was pretty solvable for what the best spells were. B-, one play through only, could be raided for good ideas but it doesn't stand on its own.

>>3866577 (OP)
yes they do. I forgot how much I hate real time combat in rpgs. its either completely poinltess and requieres pausing all the fucking time like da2 or outright sucks balls like all obsidians/owlcats games. compared to that shit larian games are pure bliss to play.

>>3866846
you fell for the mystery box lmao

>>3866577 (OP)
The game is shit, nothing can save it.
This is a shit game, made for shit eaters.

>>3866675
it has some interesting ideas but it's the ultimate cocktease. it ends just as the plot gets good and gets going. it was after that i decided to never waste my time with another Obsidian game again.

>>3866675
I mean, you won't really find anything else like it. As far as RPGs go it's insanely reactive. Like others have said, you can't shake the feeling game was ultimately unfinished even with DLC fleshing out some bits. It also ends on a "what not?" teaser setting up for a grander sequel that would never come.

>>3867133
>I mean, you won't really find anything else like it.
it's to obsidian's credit the closest adjacent title is alpha protocol which is another game of theirs

>>3866675
Yes, if you can stand constant girlbossing. all the actual important people are men though.

>>3867133
It’s poe (a mid nothing burger) with 1/10 of the budget. Except PoE at least had cool looking isometric art, this game looked worse than games made in 2001. Nobody has ever cared about this game except (you)

>>3867187
Not him, but I enjoyed this more then poe. Combat was more fun with magic sigils, being the bad guy was cool and the anarchy route of fuck everyone was also pretty cool. Don't get stuff like that in most games.

>>3866675
The dialogue/companions are great, everything else is kinda mid.

>>3866675
I like the world they built and for the most part enjoyed the characters. Combat is RTWP slop and judging from the comments coming from everyone that likes that type of system it's not particularly good at it. 100% a rug pull nothing ending though, Paradox rushed it out the door.

1. Your purchase is not enough to persuade them to spend 6 figures in dev costs setting up turn-based mode
2. They have to reawaken old code made by staff who likely aren't there, or in that position, costing even more. Take it as a multiplier.
3. To my impression Tyranny wasn't profitable.

>>3866675

It's a good CRPG and also one of the shorter ones so it's worth a playthrough. Because it's so short it actually gives you many ways to play through the game. Most games are wide but not deep, this is deep but not very wide.

The only real criticism I had with it was how abrupt the ending was. I don't know if it's the same for every path you take but the way I played it, it was all leading to a massive showdown that never happened. The game feels like it was missing a final act

>>3866675
i thought there was going to be atleast one more act but the game just ended

This game is just an in every way inferior PoE with childish cartoon aesthetics.

>>3867348
nobody wants turn-based except for few retarded whiners who are probably 60 and senile. turn based didn't help sell deadfire.

>>3867639
I am guessing the people wanting this are Owlcat fans that think shoehorning in game modes that the games are clearly not designed for is a good idea.

>>3866577 (OP)
I don't think TB would help Tyranny. It has BARELY any interesting combat encounters and limited enemy variety doesn't help.

>>3867639
>nobody wants turn-based
true
explains why BG3 failed so hard

>>3867735
BG3 was bad, despite being turn based, not because of it
BG1 and 2 were good, despite being RTWP, not because of it

>>3867736
I agree with you 100%.
Just replying to that dumb anon who thinks "nobody wants turn based".

Proven also with the Pathfinder games, where the community basically forced Owlkek to implement turn-based, cause everyone was playing the turn-based mod in Kingmaker.

Most people do want turn-based and it's one of the extremely rare cases where most people are correct.

>>3866577 (OP)
Nobody gives a shit about this game anymore. And very few give a shit about turn-based systems too.
>Does Obsidian hate money?
I would say they hate real RPGs. Most of the people who work in Obsidian now are not the ones who founded the company more than 20 years ago. They only keep doing """RPGs"""" because that's what they're popular for.

>>3866675
In terms of RPG reactivity, it is. In terms of difficulty, beyond Act 1 it is practically non existent, one of the easiest cRPG i've ever played. The ending(s) per se is not dissatisfying, the problem is that it begs a continuation that never happened.

>>3868632
>In terms of difficulty, beyond Act 1 it is practically non existent, one of the easiest cRPG i've ever played.
Like one anon said it has almost zero enemy variety. You basically get typical warrior, rogue and mage with various skins + spirits.

how bad at games do you have to be to get filtered by rtwp

>>3870615
i don't understand why you come here and post. you have nothing to say.

>>3870641
what a beautiful display of self awareness

>>3870702
>no u
lol, the weakest of weaksauce

>>3870756
so what it is that you have to say again?

>>3870762
lots of things in lots of threads. notice how i don't bump threads with nonsense bait posts after days of inactivity and then try to spin being called out about it into a gotcha? be better, kid.

>>3870765
>days of inactivity
it's a dead board, you retard

>>3870768
so you agree it was a nonsense bait post. do you feel that's acceptable because the board is "dead".

>>3870769
nah i didn't, you're just being illiterate again
