How did you like Planescape, i just started it, Its looks exactly like Baldurs gate just zoomed in. I want to know if its worth it? I just got the bronze sphere for that P dude. Was wondering if i should continue

MK_Red5852d ago (Edited 5852d ago )

OMG, dude that game ROCKS! It's my 3rd fave game of all time! After Fallout 2 and FFVIII, Planescape Torment is my fave game. Plus, it's music is just phenomenal. From the first menu theme it RULES!
And the characters and story are just out of this world. Story of this game is more complex than all MGS titles combined! Plus, it has the record for the biggest amount of written dialogue..

Uh and one more thing... Don't trust Morti (That skeleton head).

I'm so glad that you got this gem. Hopefully you can like it. It's seriously awesome IMO.

Relcom5852d ago (Edited 5852d ago )

About my tattoo that is way to many words(i think it smells fishy)I really like the world that they are in. In some ways its more brutal than Fallout, everyones is SO damn mean.

Also I steal and pickpocket alot, will that hurt my alignment cause i want to be good the good.

Gorgon5852d ago (Edited 5852d ago )

Actually, you should trust Morte. Trusting the skull or not relates to who you're gonna be by the end of the game: bad guy or good guy. Now you want to know if Morte is a "good" skull or a "bad" skull right? eheh.

Relcom5852d ago

or he is workin for someone. that would be my guess so far. He is funny as hell though so i'm keepin him

Gorgon5850d ago

Relcom:

If you want I can tell you if Morte is a nice "guy" or not. But yes, there is a reason why he is hidding stuff from you. It has to do with what you were before loosing your memmory.

looking forward to it..

Anybody knows how does this game play?

Any other games that fall in the same gameplay mechanics?

Relcom5852d ago

kinda like Kotor, closest thing i can thing it will be like. Butyou can either go turn based like the old school ones. Also you can play in real time like a shooter but your stats and AP(Action Points) come into play.

Charlie26885852d ago

how does it play?...well nothing remotely close to the original that is for sure, this one is more of a 3rd person shooter with some RPG elements and the ability to "freeze time" so you can shoot at the enemy and watch in slow mo

@Relcom: mmm...no I think you are confused with another game, this Bethesda idea of a Fallout 3 (or what I call Brotherhood of Steel 2) has no turn base actions of ANY kind and the only thing they have said point will do is use them on the "slow-mo kills"

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies20d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken20d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6921d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker21d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6921d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt20d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken20d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Now is the Best Time to Get This Incredible RPG Bundle on Steam

If you are looking for an awesome RPG, look no further. Steam is offering a significant discount on its Fallout Franchise Bundle.

SimpleSlave21d ago

"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."

😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?

Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.

20% off...lol

Tacoboto21d ago

The games were just on a real sale over the last week or two for the show promotion. Fallout 4 was $10, 3 was $5, NV was cheap as heck too.

So what the heck is this

Inverno21d ago

The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz

isarai21d ago

Bro that's a ridiculous ripoff are you kidding me? 🤣
