The Technomancer

[atryko]

Has anyone played, or currently playing? Very interested in this one (for PS4). Looks pretty good to me. Just curious about the Sherdog crowds thoughts?

It's been brought up a bit in the video game discussion IV thread. Sounds like it's pretty "meh". I have it from Gamefly, but haven't put it in yet. Got 7 Days to Die at the same time and played that first,which by the way is fucking terrible.

 

[atryko]

Right on. Been playing the hell out of Dragon Age Inquisition lately, already played Witcher 3. Ready for another RPG...something different. This seemed to sort of fit the bill.

...also, tried the Souls/Bloodborne games. Not really my cup of tea. I like the action, but like some story and interaction with npc's and companions.

I'm about 5 hours in and loving it so far. I'd recommend it. A bit rough around the edges, which is to be expected for a game by a small team like this, but overall a lot of fun.

Cool. Just curious. Have you played Bound by Flame, or Dragon Age Inquisition? If so, how does it compare to those two? Just curious if there are many similar mechanics?

Yeah I platinumed Bound by Flame and plated DA:I for a bit. It feels like a much improved Bound By Flame in terms of movement, story, etc but the combat feels more Witcher 3-esque. If you enjoyed Bound By Flame I would be amazed if you didn't like The Technomancer. And if you didn't enjoy Bound By Flame, but didn't hate it, you may still like TT.

Sounds like this might be right up my alley. I liked (not loved) Bound by Flame, but dropped it for finish DAI...and, never jumped back into it.

Have you checked out Divinity Original Sin yet? Playing through that now and moving on to Technomancer next. I got about 3/4 of the way through DA:I and just lost all steam, but have been having a blast with Divinity. Adventuring fells like DA, but combat shifts into a turned based system where all characters manage action points to move/attack/use skills while they move around the map and take advantage of the terrain.

Glad to here Technomancer is better than Bound by Flame. Played through that a few times and like 1~2 trophies away from getting the plat. I thought it was good enough at the time, but I played it when the PS4 was still fairly new and I was starving for an RPG.

I just refunded it... got through the tutorial and no love at all for the combat or the first boss

story seems interesting though I might check out one of those game movies or something

How's the story for Divinity? I heard it's a great game but that the story really isn't there.

As far as Techno Mancer I want to try it out. It's made by the same people who did Bound by Flame which was pretty cool. Never got to beat it but I got pretty far.

Story is nothing special and can get long winded at times. I just really love tactical side of the combat and elemental effects in the terrain can play a huge part if you know how to exploit them properly. For example you can cast rain over the enemy which will pool water under their feet and use an electrical ability to stun everyone in the pool, or if there is a fire surface you can cast ice on it to create a steam cloud which will obscure vision and enemy archers/casters will lose their line of sight and have to maneuver around the battle field.

There are a bunch of different classes to choose from to add a lot of flexibility in how you play.

Hmm that does sound fun. I might have to get this when I see come down enough. Which will be a while but theres no rush it's not going anywhere.

I picked it up on a flash sale for like 60% off like 6 months ago, and saw it again on a flash sale a couple of weeks ago. I would expect it to go on sale again, especially since it's been out for a bit now on PS4.
