Clockwork Revolution (aka Arcanum 2) by InXile from former Troika devs

For discussing role-playing video games, you know, the ones with combat.

Everytime they hand a nigger a communist manifesto we should kill 1 chinese citizen and 20 single childless white women over 40.

That will be a real clockwork revolution.

Now excuse me I have to return to masturbating to jewish women getting fucked by tyrone and santa claus in a slaughterhouse

I love Steampunk and Cyberpunk, but sadly the mainstream has taken hold of them and nothing survives their reverse Midas-touch.

I know that 300lbs fat gay nerds and cocaine huffing whoremongering tech entrepreneurs like to steal ideas from obscure writers and artists, but is it too much to ask for them to try and find new things to steal?

Anything without 4 cellos in the OST should not be referred to as Arcanum.

It's called a string quartet - 2 violins, one alto and one cello

Basically every InXile game but Wasteland 3 was a disappointment. I am currently replaying their Kickstarter games. Just finished Bards Tale (still shit), now playing Numenera (not great either). Yet it feels it feels like they are trying, and its not that we got tons of alternatives. If it isn't too woke, I might even d1p this one.

Microsoft purchased Obsidian and InXile because they could, not because they ever made good games. Just something to maybe, eventually, fill out the Xbox release slate.

Obviously. I still prefer InXile because they tried to create something fun. Sure they didn't succeed and/or had a lack of talent. Obsidian just tried to become as mainstream as possible, and failed spectacularly at that.

I think it's everything about making a game for yourself and your ego vs. making a game for an audience out there you care about/are a part of.

The Bard's Tale Trilogy remake is really good. And I prefer W2DC to Wasteland 3. But other than that, they've had a lot of misses.

I played the Bard's Tale 4 remaster and enjoyed it, didn't quite understand why it was so hated. Maybe the original was worse?

I'm actually replaying through Wasteland 2, right now. Other than a few things here, and there, it's actually quite solid. I don't know why I disliked it a lot more when it came out. Probably because I had played the release version, and not the Director's Cut.

Recommend updating the title to "Bioshock 4" instead of "Arcanum 2". False advertising should be limited to doctored screenshots as much as possible.

I called it Arcanum 2 because that's what g*me urinelists were calling it when this was first announced.

But any non-journalist can see in 10 seconds that it's Bioshock Infinite 2. Did you just... out yourself as a journalist? :cool:

Didn't they rework much of the puzzles? I dropped it around the 12th fairy puzzle...

Not sure, but every puzzle can just be skipped.

Aah, right. That was it. You didn't have the option originally.

I hate the whimsical aspect of steampunk. Stupid, ugly, reddit.
That's just the masses getting ahold of it and making it le quirky like they do with everything else.
