Tides of Numenera - Delayed to Late 2015
 

Well this shouldn't come as a surprise inXile entertainment has more information in the latest kickstarter update that Torment: Tides of Numenera is being delayed further.

More information.

Well….um…..at least I have longer to procrastinate on my slacker backer preorder?? xD

Damn…. I do wish both Torment and PoE to deliver what they promised… but… what the hell am I going to play till winter 2014 and 2015?? There's no promise PoE will be out in winter 2014 as well :(

After seeing the Wasteland 2 quality level of GUI & overall Art design, I would be only excited about a new Torment game if developed by Obsidian.

So you have no backlog at all? Wow man you are lucky. I have to finish Witcher 2 before Wild Hunt will be released and there are plenty of RPGs coming out soon - Project Eternity, Age of Decadence, Xenonauts, Jagged Alliance Flashback and you can also try Age of Wonders 3, King's Bounty series, Blackguards, etc. if you like strategy games with RPG elements. Indie RPG developers were quite busy recently too.

I don't have a backlog either. Currently playing TW1. Next games on my list are all to be released: D:OS, Lords of Xulima, Risen 3, Wasteland 2, DA:I, Raven's Cry (perhaps), Age of Decadence, PoE, Blackguards 2, TW3, The Mandate.
That's all I have on my list until April 2015, if none of them gets delayed til then. So there could be indeed some gaps where I'll be without a game. Hope I can completely fill them with TW1/2.

During the last months I've payed Age of Wonders 3, Bound by Flame, Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall, Demonicon, BG2 EE, Blackguards, Shadowrun Returns and Mars: War Logs.

Did I miss something?

FC4, TW3, ME4, possibly FO4, Meriwether, Frontiers and many more.

Antharion, a project 5% as complex as Tides, pushed their release date to 17 months. But I've got tons of stuff to play anyway.

Might&Magic X, Van Helsing 2, Banner Saga, Transistor, Eschalon Book 3 … hundreds of older titles

Thanks for the recommendations, but…

That's indeed one I'll perhaps try. But basically I don't like the grid based movement and the combat.Too action oriented.Don't like the art style. Looks like a comic book.Art style as well… I've something like a JRPG phobia. This seems to have influences only but for mee it's too much.Poor visuals setting my immersion level to 0.

Appareantly my taste is quite "narrow" and it seems like I'm quite superficial as I'm excluding games just by their visuals. But I just can't help it, I need a certain quality/style to immerse. That's the problem with most older games too. I don't need high-end 3D, Baldur's Gate would still be fine.

+1 for Might & Magic X. Don't worry about the grid - after 10 minutes it will seem no less odd than magic or merchants with endless cash.

so basically, just add a year to any Kickstarter project you see (and you're likely to still fall way short). Hell it's like every Kickstarter project is being made by Cleve.

+1 for Might & Magix X. Grid combat is one of those things that you don't like in your mind, but when you play it, it starts to feel natural, and even though you will never admit it to yourself, your subconscious will say 'this is awesome!'.

+2 to MMX. It is a very fun game and it'll take you hours to complete. It's also quite replayable.

:roll:

Also Dark Souls II

Some a bit older titles you should check out if you haven`t played them yet

Dark Souls, Game of Thrones, Drakensang I&II, Kingdoms of Amalur, Legend of Grimrock, Two Worlds II…

Never heard of FC4, Meriwether, Frontier etc… Not into The Witcher, and I'm not touching ME4 unless DA:I turns out to be decent. Very skeptical of Bioware games at this point. Thought you Watchers know by now I got very specific taste…

@xep624: I do have some backlogs… Problem is, I'm not enjoying them (KotOR1&2, MotB, PS:T, FO2, Skyrim/Morrowind). I tried (and trying still), I want to expand my horizon and enjoy more diversified variety… But no luck so far :/

I'm not surprise but I find it annoying that they chose an obviously unattainable release date from the very start.

Please… MMX is shit on a stick, i'm not getting into that again.

if trash combat with palette swaps, overpowered abilities and ridiculous buff stacking are your thing, don't play MMX. Otherwise, you'll like it just fine.

@Dark Savant
I didn't say that I wouldn't like grid based combat. I said:
What I meant was: I don't like grid based movement and I don't like the combat. (Should have used an Oxford Comma here).

Too action oriented. I'm not really the guy who has fun mastering difficult combat. If one or another battle is difficult and I need 2 or 3 attempts, that's ok. If it gets more or if those battles are more frequent, I get frustrated.

That's an option perhaps. Though I'm basically sceptical about RPGs of famous TV/movie franchises, I've heard that this one is quite ok.

I had in mind that this one is too action oriented as well… but I just checked and saw some screenshots and browsed some reviews. Seems like there's more in it. Give it a try, thanks for the tip! :)
Edit: I just looked it up on Steam checking the price: "You already own Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning™" :D Let's see if I've tried it already but put it aside for some reason. Can't remember.

I've tried it, but didn't like it for the same reasons as MMX. These dungeon crawlers just arent's my thing anymore. I grew up with Eye of the Beholder loving all of them, but somehow my taste has changed of the past 25 years. ;)

Played them already.

If you didn't, you will. Sooner or later:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects…scover-survive

Grab those walkingspeed mods and replay them.

or try Crusader Kings 2 and all your gaming needs will be fulfilled for the next 3 years :)

It's actually in my Steam library… I've tried it once but it was indeed too complex for me to have fun with. Perhaps when I'm in the right mood, I'll give it another try.

This game is micromanager's wet dream…

So can we please get back on the topic of the thread which is the delay of Torment, and not what games we should all play while waiting. Thank you.:)

Hope Mr. Rothfuss finishes his book too.
