That was obvious a long time ago. Torment begat Knights of the Old Republic begat Dragon Age.

Torment begat KotOR 1? Wat? The game which included every Bioware cliche ever? The game with most irritating, inane companions? With retarded story, where Dark and Light sides of the Force were played completely straight, without any subversion or inversion whatsoever? In what way it could even be linked to PST?


If you are trolling - Not bad, would again, but too obvious. If not ---

Heavier emphasis on companion interaction. Hubs with adventure game-like gating (like all the disguise shit you have to go through to get through Taris). Pointless combat.

Plus Josh Sawyer agrees.

Good god, that Gromnir somehow managed to be both insane and insufferably smug. Kill it with fire.

Oh, memories. He has a few posts on the Dex too, IIRC.

Yup. I believe I remember him, volly and skyway bashing my Storm of Zehir review back in the day.

That posse was like pure condensed madness.

Gromnir was a regular on the old BIS/Interplay boards. He pulled that schtick far enough that Bioware created a Bhaalspawn based on him.

You mean it wasn't the OTHER WAY AROUND?

Gromnir Il-Khan. What I wonder is whether the character Dorn Il-Khan in BG:EE has anything to do with him.

 

[Roguey]

He's also an attorney. I would not want to use his services if I knew who he was.

Oh yeah and this is probably my favorite Gromnir exchange.

HA! Good fun!

 

[Stainless Veteran]

Never understood was he larping an ork or a dwarf, or something else entirely. And why there apparently were two of him writing. Or was it a royal "we"? One of the odder posters, to be sure.

"Why are we excited for GTA V after GTA IV turned out to be a boring turd of a game?"

GTA IV fans get all defensive as usual. "Fantastic game!", "Best of the series!"

Someone posts this in response.

Bioware has taken to name dropping Planescape:Torment now ?. To much water and bad blood under that bridge to win back the old crowd.

As for GTA V. I gave up on that game was the second I realized that I spent more time chaperoning idiots around the map then I did having fun.

It doesn't mean much. Most young gamers trade back nearly all their games after they've completed them because they have limited money. Especially if it's not multiplayer. It only means that GTA IV was spectacularly popular.

And it is overbashed. It's not an "Oscar-worthy game", but there are a lot of things it did right.

Don't link directly to 4chan's images, save it and upload it to imgur instead.

I did save it and upload it to an image uploader.

Why is it still linked to 4chan?

Edit: Fixed

[Chaotic_Heretic]

I was clearly unfamiliar with how kotaku is, since I avoid all gaming "journalism"... but wishing something was like Skyrim instead of Daggerfall and people actually agreeing with this shit?

I am annoyed by that chart.

Not because I am some BioWare apologist, especially since I haven't played a BioWare game for a long long time.

But because in some cases, it's trying to hard to find vague similarities.

Legitimate comparison: There is a drow character on Hordes of the Underdark with the exact same lines as Carth Onasi, down to "Don't trust anybody".

Illegitimate example: Darth Revan is the Bhaalspawn in space.

There's pretty much little resemblance between Revan and Bhaalspawn. Bhaalspawn was just one of many many Bhaalspawn as indicated in the very first Baldur's Gate and in the opening intro itself. And he was just a child with no prior experience. Revan was actually a former Sith Lord whose memory was wiped out. Same way, neither Revan nor Bhaalspawn resemble Commander Shephard, who actually commands a reputation before the story begins.

So it's stupid.
