[Archibald]

Thanks for the save

 

[PhantasmaNL]

Torment
BattleTech
Grimoire

above games i already paid for

System Shock 3

 

[Xathrodox86]

System Shock, BG and BB. I'm actually optimistic about these.

 

[Markman]

Battle Brothers
Divinity 2
Expeditions Vikings

Rest is meh or gonna suck probably.
Also lol at Torment.

 

[M. AQVILA]

Torment: Tides of Numenera

 

[Crooked Bee]

Also lol at Torment.

PS:T is the Codex's #1 RPG of all time. No wonder people are looking forward to Torment (even against all odds).

 

[Irenaeus II]

Is it bad that I backed TON and am not even looking forward to it?

I know that feeling.

My expectations for Torment = same as for PoE. Its gonna be low budget PS:T, only worse in every way.

 

[Infinitron]

in every way

Already provably false. Torment: Tides of Numenera has turn-based combat with a focus on highly designed unique set-pieces.

 

[United Nations]

I'm looking forward to Underworld Ascendent, but what has been released so far is not impressing me.

You mean like Blackguards? You really think they can do better? Lets wait and see.

 

[Polanski]

That Which Sleeps, Xcom and Six Ages

Oh, 'real' rpgs... Torment and Battle Brothers I guess.

 

[KickAss]

Wow, there are surprisingly few RPGs I'm exited about in 2016, compared to 2015..

You just wait, I'm fairly certain that we will have some people claiming how original Torment had better combat.

I just realized that too. I guess i look forward to TTON, more to see how release unfolds, not really having big expectations. Battle Brothers looks cool and that's about it. Might aswell spend a year playing JA 1.13 and wargames, long overdue.

If the combat is anything like Blackguards then the game will be GOTY without any questions.

Anyways I voted for some but my top of this list are
D:OS 2
Torment
Battle Brothers
Aaand maybe Battletech...if it delivers what it promises
Also since we have Battle Brothers and Battletech, I would add XCOM 2 which actually is on the top of my list(1 month!!)

 

[Irenaeus II]

Looks like there's open demand for good cRPGs again.

 

[Tito Anic]

1. Grimoire
2. Barkley 2
3. KotC 2
Others will be popamole crap

 

[DJOGamer PT]

To me it would be:

• Battle Brothers
• Divinity 2
  
• Underworld

Grimoire... if Cleve decides it's time for it to see the light of day, than that I would also be looking foward to.

Also, why can't fucking Dark Souls be considered a RPG? Dark Souls III is the game I am most hyped for this year.

 

[undecaf]

TToN
DOS2
Battletech

Dark Souls can't be considered an RPG because it's an action game. An extremely well-done action game, with one of the best systems for action-based melee combat ever devised, as well as an engrossing atmosphere and visual design, but still fundamentally an action game. The RPG elements exist so that the player merely has to be proficient at the action-based combat to complete the game rather than as skilled as the people who can finish the game at soul level 1 with lousy equipment.

So in turn based games do RPG elements exist so players merely have to be proficient at the tactical combat rather than be as skilled as the people who can compete them at level 1. ^_^

They do in certain games that are either Tactics/RPG hybrids or simply Tactical games with RPG elements. X-Com is on my Top 50 videogames list, but it isn't an RPG.

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

I'm potentially interested in all these titles, but also pretty damn skeptic about most of them at the moment.
Divinity Original Sin 2 would be my safe bet, but I'll also eat my hat if it actually releases anywhere near the year 2016.

I'm fine with considering Dark Souls an RPG, but there's an unwritten rule that this list is reserved for PC-centric oldschool-styled indie and Kickstarter RPGs.

And now it's written.
