TYRANNY |OT| Sometimes, Evil Wins [Tiers For Fears]
- Thread starter Nzyme32
- Start date
8AM PST/ 17.00 CET on November 10th.
For me, it says it will unlock in 19 hours.
Tomorrow morning sometime I think. Reviewers have had it since at least the beginning of last weekend.
Tomorrow 6AM PT / 2pm GMT; game release 2 hrs later I think
I hope they deliver on this area. it's what sold me most on the game.
POE had the successful Kickstart campaign going for it, giving it early word of mouth/ advertising. Bought mine from nuuvem, they are offering an extra 10% discount on top of the launch 10% one. Use the code nuuvem10. Don't know if it works outside Brazil
I would have been so frustrated if I was doing that AMA. My god people are annoying. Half of the questions aren't even related to the game. Are you working on fallout? Are you working on Alpha Protocol? Are you working on KOTOR 3? Are you making more isometric RPG. Cue the romance question. One of the worst crime Bioware has commited is to unleash the Bioware Social forum on the internet.
This is all shit people ask on the Obsidian forum every year lol.
Anyways good stream here: twitch.tv/bikeman
Yeah I know what you mean. Having said that, there's people like me who are super interested in the game but too lazy to get into all that trying to ask questions, and just watch other do the q&a instead, which doesn't really help that situation
This is the story of pretty much every AMA. People want to promote something, get asked about all the stuff people already like. And to be fair, I think that's part of the bargain. Not many people going to show up to an AMA just to ask about what you're promoting. So you answer the dumb questions in exchange for some easy advertising.

nvm
can't wait.. I really appreciate that they are going for a shorter playthrough (though I'm sure I'll take at least twice as long as average since I usually read all tooltips first time through) hope the reactivity and choice/consequences is at least on par w/ alpha protocol
not much marketing outside of paradox's usual streams/dev diaries.. the game is probably on the low budget side of things since they are using the PoE engine and the game is shorter overall (though probably a lot "wider" than PoE was) so why spend that much on marketing to create more overhead for an already niche game... people forget PoE had kickstarter hype behind it.. that said the marketing has been kind of a fail when you have fans of the genre/fans of PoE not even knowing this was coming out...

Shorter doesn't really mean cheaper. They already explained how they've designed the game around replayability. There's apparently 4 paths in the game and the quests and NPCs you meet changes accordingly in each path. You can also change the initial world state by picking different options in the Conquest mode part of character creation which changes locales and reputations.
Yeah. I'm trying to show some restraint.
If anything, I'll play Pillars first, and get this when it's on sale.
Then again, it's so cheap now. The games can be played in any order
Playing through Trails Cold Steel 2, and it's a drag... I think it's time to put long over drawn RPGs on the back burner. I just don't have the time or patience for RPGs over 40 hours anymore.. Tyranny is just what the doctor ordered.

Is it really a good idea to have these different quest paths that require multiple playthroughs in this day and age? Does anyone really have time to replay games?
That's perfect.
I saw in some thread the other day someone was talking about taking 150 hours to beat Trails in the Sky, and while I started that game up for a few hours once, now I know for sure that I'll never, ever touch it again.
And, on top of that, I'm in the middle of plaything through UnderRail for the first time (fantastic game, btw), and ~15 hours in my brain is spinning with the build possibilities of another run. Not "Ugh, I fucked up my build, should I start over?" but "I love my build, but these other builds look so different and I'm dying to try them." 20-30 hours is a great length if this game has that same kind of compelling character build system -- let alone the narrative options to explore.

Trails in the Sky is long, but not that long. I beat First Chapter in 68 hours and that was pretty exhaustive (ie talking to every single game NPC after every major event).

I feel like Obsidian should have made a bigger deal out of Conquest. It really seems like a back-of-the-box feature that would be worth mentioning pre-release... Like, I only know about it because of the OP.
They've talked about it in their streams (and have shown it) and in their dev blogs.. you can also see it in the first hour of gameplay video on youtube..
it has been featured in most marketing of it, which is only a testament to how undermarketed it has been.
I'm a sucker for talking to every NPC
I average around 120 hours for each Trails games. I usually try to do everything in one run (no guides) lot's of wondering.
I'm about 85 hours into Cold Steel 2 (end of act 2, no idea how that happened). I'm going take my time and enjoy the rest of the game. But I'm a bit burnt out having finished SC and Cold Steel both earlier this year.
It's like a better version of the tapestry system from Dragon Age Keep. I'm excited to play this.

are the load times fixed from PoE?
There was a glitch that causes PoE load times to be so long after playing for a certain amount of time and they fixed it so I imagine that we wont see that in Tyranny.
cdkeys is cheap
