Ok so... Christmas came and went, and I knew I would get pretty much a lot of socks and some cash. I figured I would be bored, so I went online and downloaded a couple old games that I've never played: Planescape: Torment and Bulder's Gate 2.
Anyway... I dunno if anyone here has ever played those games... although I'm sure a lot of people have... but I sure didn't. I've played new RPGs like that like Dragon Age... and everyone's played Diablo... so I guess it isn't that different.
Anyway... I just installed Bulder's gate.. haven't played it yet... but Planescape was a pretty amazing game. I don't think I've ever seen a game with a story that is literally as good as a novel. The game basically WAS a novel with all the reading, but fuck it... it was good.
Anyway... as far as I can tell... this shit puts to shame ANY and ALL of the new RPGs that are out now. Final Fantasy doesn't even hold a candle to them as far as I can tell... and that's after playing these games when they are 10 years old. All I did was install a few widescreen mods to make them look better on my 1920 res... and yeah. The graphics look like a slightly better version of diablo 2... but... the games are awesome.
Anyway... anyone else ever played these games and/or have played them recently? If not... I recommend it. You could either go the bittorrent way ( i know planescape and bulder's gate 2 has torrents with at least 200+ seeders... meaning you'll download it fast as hell), or the legit way and buy them... i think gog.com has both games & expansions for like $6.00 each. That's like $12 for some amazing games you could play on a shitty computer... kinda like Subspace but without the manic depressant nerds with ego problems!
