Torment: Tides of Numenera releases tommorrow

ghostryder · February 27, 2017, 05:04:28 PM

Who's gonna bite? Being a Planescape Torment fan I'm kind of excited but I'm also fearful of a buggy release. Not to mention I really can't afford it right now. But if the user reviews are posative i may let a bill go a week late and get it...but again I'm deep into an xcom2 long war campaign. geez. driving me crazy!

I will buy at some point but I cannot justify full price purchases anymore with the backlog I have.

Torment was a one-time only work-of-art I'm afraid. I'll settle for a good game and a really good sale.

+1

That price tag is serious business. :hide:

+1 & +1 = I agree on both points. The cheapest Torment: Tides of Numenera costs $44.99 at GOG.com, Torment: Tides of Numenera - Legacy Edition costs $64.99, and Torment: Tides of Numenera - Immortal Edition costs $84.99! ???

Interested but will be waiting for a sale in a few months to purchase.

I know it's Steam reviews, but it's getting pretty beat up there.

RPG.com Has an overview of reviews posted on their site and all are very positive. Something that surprised me.

The game press being what they are, and steam users being what they are--I'll just wait until someone here gives an impression post.

I agree!

Groggies here are the best source for well informed reviews!

I backed the Kickstarter, but my Wife is in the hospital so I won't be playing it for awhile.

Sorry to hear that. Hope all will be well.

Has there ever been a game that didn't get beat up by the droves of whiny bitchy 16 year olds that grow like fungus on the steam forums?

(playing on PS4 version)
If you like interesting story and overarching character choices affecting the narrative, you'll like this. Theres a lot of textual prose to read.

I'm 4 and a half hours in, and I've had one combat battle (the tutorial one), and I've managed to talk my way out of another battle with a keen sense of deception.
