Holy Turn-based fighting, batman!

This revelation makes me want this game fifty billion times more (and considering how much I already wanted it, that's saying a lot).

PA: RPG

You never played Freedom Force?!,Man you missed a lot,the game was sick.I still have it with me.

I like the bird eye view as well,the first time I saw the screens I thought it was going to be sort of like freedom force.

I like penny arcade humor,I like the name of the game IMO is pretty cool,I sort of like RPGs but I dont like the game a 100% maybe a 45% or 65%.

But what is it Downable for the PC or something like Sam & Max?.

Having just now realized that this is an RPG, I'm much more excited to play it.

Agreed: I had thought that this was going to be pure point-and-click adventure fare. While that's certainly awesome, I must admit that I'm much more fond of JRPG's.

Watching more gameplay gave me goosebumps. I wasn't too excited before, but rpg is good, very very good.

At best, this can be Sam and Max meets Final Fantasy.

At worst, this can make me never read Penny-Arcade ever again.

If this thing is pure text and no voice overs I'll pass. Cut scenes get too tedious if you have to read a bunch of text, no matter how humorous it is.

Morrowind had no voices during conversations either, and it pwned.

Already been declared that there are no voice actors.

Too be honest I was looking foward to this, and then I saw the turn based combat and so I won't be getting it. Goddamn I wish turn based "action" would die a horrible death.

If this is episodic on XBL, than I might invest in the first episode...

Tell me again, what this has to do with Penny Arcade? It's not even the same characters. Well, they look kind of like Tycho and Gabe, except instead of being foul-mouth slackers, they're 1920s detectives who do a lot of running around! Where's the nerdy video-game jokes? Where's the genetalia-obsessed bathroom humor?

Bathroom humor? Did you miss this exchange?

Hobo: "I enjoy the effect of urine on things."
Gabe: "So, you pee on stuff?"

It was there. Watch it again.

It's really the same characters, in a different setting. Including a clockwork version of the Fruit Fucker.

I'm kinda surprised that every single person seems to be surprised to see an RPG with turn-based combat. They said that's what it was going to be ages ago.

I really like the animation in this. Kind of reminds me of Invader Zim mixed w/ Paper Mario. I don't get a massive boner whenever someone says "penny arcade game" but I might pick this up.

Looks great:)

Turn based RPG? sign me up. There are too many RPG's going the RT route, good to see the PA guys going with this, it makes my pants happy.

Penny Arcade & RPG?!? I am so there.

I also long for the "good ol' days" of turn-based RPGs. FF12 and its real-time fighting was just not for me.

This game looks awesome to me, and all their decisions seem to be going in the playable webcomic direction they want. Now I just hoe my old computer will run it!
