Let me know when you get out of Sigil, and the rest of the game is an ON RAILS roller coaster
Literally only gets better and better, what I would give to play it for the first time
I've been meaning to play it after loving disco elysium and seeing the same kind of comments OP has. Might finally do it
I got to when my guts got scooped out and I got that ring. And then I got the fire man recruited. It's been like 15 years for me. Might replay.
>game that inspired other game mogs it
wow imagine my shock
It's fantastic. Disco Elysium has some nice ideas with the talking skills and thought cabinets and such, but Planescape Torment just has a much cooler story and setting overall.
>story is so on-rails and out of the player's hands he wrote in a character who calls attention to how fucking stupid TNO is being and even then his only response to his own shit writing is "I just gotta, okay?!?!"
Planescape is for the type of person that considers comic books to be literature.
Planescape is for teenagers. It's really well written for that audience
Disco Elysium is for is for "rationalists", or "rats" as I like to call them. """Less"""Wrong gays spending a lot of time and effort on being wrong in as clever a way as possible.
No one fucking cares about what you think.
Too bad.
You cared enough to reply, it cut you deeply.
Disco is a meditation on the obscene and catastrophic failure of communism and it's devastating consequences, inspired by socialist speculative fiction.
The only anon that got it; also, ironic given how the "franchise" ended up. Poetic even
What games do you like?
I find the smug anime girl attached to a blantantly inflamatory comment curious. It's essentially announcing to everyone you're posting bait and yet there's a depressingly high chance you'll get guaranteed replies regardless.
>anime poster
>talking about maturity
lol, lmao even
anime is for the type of person that considers eating his own feces as a full healthy meal
you're a fucking animeposter
Isekai anime has better protagonists than PS:T
said no one ever except your whore mother
loved disco but i've been putting off planescape because i've only heard bad stuff about the devs that remade the game
As far as I could tell, Beamdog hasn't touched any of the writing in Planescape and simply added some QoL and integrated a popular fan patch that restores cut content. Unless you don't want to give them money on principle for what they did to Baldur's Gate, then PS:T EE is fine.
>integrated a popular fan patch that restores cut content
They didn't
Oh, right. My bad. Got it confused with my playthrough where I had it installed.
Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny are other really good games in the genre. Everything else I tried is just gay like Pathfinder or run at schizo speed like Baldurs Gate
PoE is not remotely similar to PS:T or DE. Dunno about Tyranny, I stopped playing after the fist conversation then refunded it. You come bearing an atomic bomb in your hand looking for an excuse to use it, and the first thing this bitch does is sass you, and you can't even execute her for it. Literally abandoned its own premise in the first minute.
DE ought to be compared to point and click adventure games, not cRPGs.
>X vs Y
Pretty shitty way to make thread. But I bet it's just a bait for epic /vpol/ and RPG codex trannies.
help i want to get into CRPGs so I can larp as a based oldfag rpgcodex boomer but i keep falling asleep reading the dialogue what do i do?
Rpgcodex is pro-combat radical and hates everything with story, non basic bitch characters, romances and dialogues besides BG2 (childhood games are sacred). So the best way to larp is to pretend to play something like Knights of the Chalice or Dungeon Rats.
Most Planescape enjoyers hate this game tho
Never understood why people dislike Tides of Numenera. It's an absolute 10/10 game, which is a rare treat. I honestly can't think of anything wrong with it.
Reminder to watch this
because you're not going to hear 99% of them in the game
It was advertised as Planescape 2. But PST was developed specially to be different from other games during fantasy boom. It was made to break cliches of era instead of copying classic stories that were popular. Imitating PST is literally the opposite of this idea. You can't create PST 2 by imitating PST because that's /0. And so Numenera is just a product. Wild idea of make crazy game vs idea to copy crazy game from the past and call it spiritual successor. This is why
>he game comes across as fairly big-brained with all the concepts it explores
tried so hard to be vague, "without the rules". But if there is no rules entire story is random purple banana. They did this trying to catch on PST story. But again PST story wasn't like that.
Oh and Numenera has tons of different writers. You may notice this at first playthrough.
So, what I'm getting from this is any rpg that casts aside standard fantasy tropes is just a cheap knockoff of [game you like]
Not him, but the game tries too hard to ape Planescape Torment and fails hard. They also thought that the more words they put in the game, the better, which obviously failed as well.
Why would you want to larp as that if you don't care about reading
Aw man, if you liked Planescape, you'll absolutely love pic related. For the best playthrough, choose the options where you admit you are in fact the Changing God, because you actually are
The game comes across as fairly big-brained with all the concepts it explores. Lots of metaphysical mumbo jumbo to think about, and the setting is one of the very few I actually wish I lived in.
I didn't like Planescape because everything in it is fucking gross.
How so (haven't played)
Except in comedy. And social relevance.
PST is unironically too many words, and not in a funny or interesting way most of the time. Having most of the dialogue options be storydump is cringe bro. It's not even a bad story, but the game overwhelmingly shines the hardest when you have real freedom and choices.
What happened to Chris Avellone? Is he considered unemployable, or is that drama safely over?
>It mogs Disco Elysium in every way
how so?
t. didn't played either game
Played Planescape up to around Curst hoping to enjoy it, then dropped it. Best parts of the game are really the lore dumps like in the Smoldering Corpse bar, or when they explain how doors work and it's basically a nightmare world since you can accidentally get teleported into a maze and be alone forever with no way out.
Downsides are the strengths of the game lie mostly in the setting of Planescape. The combat sucks, and I hated every second of it. Planescape fans also hype up the "twist" which is really revealed to you like 1/3 of the way through the game and instead of being some big reveal, it's just like "Yeah Nameless One did some evil shit and he's stuck in endless rebirth now whoops". I imagine the love for this game comes from fantasy fans who are not used to really creative settings being in games, so they love it for that reason (they also probably love Morrowind). The setting is cool IMO but we just don't see enough of it. Too much time wasted on shitty combat, could have used more areas, more quests, and a better plot.
The "twist" about you having past incarnations is about as important as your character being amnesiac in any other RPG. Your forgotten identity is simply how you learn more about the world and your companions. It's not supposed to be a big reveal and I don't know why you wanted it to be one.
But yes, the combat is shit and I hated every single second of it too.
>I don't know why you wanted it to be one.
For some reason PST fans used to pretend it was on Ganker, it's very strange
>Missing the point this hard
?
Yeah probably
Certainly wasn't me. If people are praising that twist, it's probably just because of how interesting the mystery of TNO's past is, rather than the twist itself.
Yeah it's not really about twists. Everything in this game is well crafted around "what can change the nature of a man" theme, MC and his torment. How he and his incarnations affected the world. Hell almost all quests are tied to MC as I can remember. And you see all those connections with theme in True Route (full Wis play). This is very similar to The Wheel of Time series where only ascended ones can understand why it is one of the best written fantasy. But I guess anon you replies is baiting. "fans" card baiting.
Planescape is a good detective story and has an interesting setting and imaginative gameplay elements, but the combat is dogshit and as soon as you leave sigil the game turns to shit.
I put off playing torment. I tried playing it and loved the first (crypt?) Level. I got to the city of locks or something and got annoyed by the constant ganks by enemy gangs. I was able to learn a little lore like I remember a bar with the main attraction being a mage that caught himself on fire forever or something. But the combat was so fucking dull and repetitive. Is it worth going back bros? I can stomach bad game play for good story but I've avoided story so hard I never looked much into it
No

t. Posturing Spirit
Planescape is a setting where belief is everything.
It stands to reason TNO thought his crime to be unforgivable so thoroughly, he actually made it unforgivable.
planescape is prime midwit bait. it pretends to be deep but at it's core it's offensively stupid. it accidentally brings up interesting concepts like how memory affects behavior, but then ignores it all for stoner tier "dude what if everyone believed a tree was on fire would it start burning for real?"
Planescape is a "stoner tier" setting. PS:T is an excellent exploraton of that settng. You are the big gay.
No it doesn't, it reads like it was written by a failed YA novelist and the gameplay actively detracts from the game.

I wish there were more RPGs that are social skills focused, they're a lot of fun.
