Has anyone ever read this Torment review?

angsting constantly

Have you forgotten about her line to TTO?

So from "constantly" we're down to "one line" now.

Just drop it, you have failed a long time ago.

You guys are so fracking pathetic. I mean for christs' sake, it's video-game, and you're acting like the guy just shat on your milkshake. You know what I'm pissed at? Not the damn review, that's for sure. I'm pissed about the genocide in North Korea, and how it's not being broadcasted on the news. If I'm going to verbally abuse someone, I'll be damned before I do it over some piece of entertainment made in 1997 and forgotten in 1998.

Planescape Torment may have been a good game -- I haven't played it yet, but 90% of the users who have posted in this thread have made me not want to play it. Great job to those who constantly whine about how nobody is playing good RPGs. If this is the best way you can sell your product, then you need to head on back to marketing 1.

Part of the reason I've drifted away from the hobby of gaming is because of idiots like you, who take the hobby to seriously. I just don't understand for the life of me how you can treat someone so harshly based on his opinion on a video-game. It would be something else if he was advocating the total destruction of the Jews, but having a dissenting opinion on Planescape Torment isn't quite the same thing is it?

So yeah, idiots like you are screwing up the hobby.

OMG, can't play anymore video games because some people take them seriously. OMG, I can't enjoy Fallout 3 because some people say it sucks.

See where I'm going?

No?

Then you ARE a retard.

You register, bump a month old thread and write a whiny rant about how people here (RPGcodex, RPG) take this game too seriously while you don't. I love the irony, I hope you're trolling as much as the people in the two previous pages were, else you'd be just another moron filling the free spot in the chain linking humankind and shit.

Well, first off, I've been here for a lot longer than you. ;) Secondly, this thread was linked to a forum. I didn't know when it was created, and I don't care. Reading over this thread has left a bad taste in my mouth.

You don't even know who I am, so don't call me a retard. Secondly, the point being made was that people who act like children are ruining something that should be fun for everyone.

I'm starting to think these people lack imagination (and taste).
When I play a RPG (let's say BG2) I don't even notice if voice acting is done.Most of the time I'm filling the gaps with my own imagination, except in NWN2, Neeshka's voice gave me a constant boner.
Mess Effect or Oblivion were failures even from that point of view, they lacked so much that imaginative thought could barely work.

The storyline in Baldur's Gate 2 was very contrived in my book. Many seem to like it, but I believe I'm just spoiled by books with excellent stories in them. Much of the fantasy genre is very contrived, so it's not just Baldur's Gate 2.

It's not alliteration, for it doesn't have any consonant sounds in close proximity of each other. At any rate, it sounds silly.

I don't think either of you two know what "alliteration" means.

No, I believe I do, for I'm learning about literary devices in my English course such as alliteration, assonance, metaphores, similies, all that.

I said BG2, but I could have said Torment.
The example wasn't meant to underline the "story worth" rather the ability of such games to make the player think and imagine instead of being a passive receiver.
Nowdays games are produced to be like movies, interactivy interchanged with spectacularity, hence the massive use of bloom and fancy effects and no content.

That is a good point. In a way, the same thing has happened between books and television. When one reads a book, he thinks on every sentence or phrase or thought. When it comes to movies, people are too bombarded by visual and auditory stimuli to have time to think.

You should relax. There's no reason to call anyone a fucking idiot. Also, it's still not alliteration. You just highlighted some consonance and tried to masquerade them as examples of alliteration, when they're not. I could, in this very sentence, do what you just did, but it still wouldn't be alliteration.

Here's a good example of alliteration:

Don't delay dawns disarming display .
Dusk demands daylight .
Dewdrops dwell delicately
drawing dazzling delight .
Dewdrops dilute daisies domain.
Distinguished debutantes . Diamonds defray delivered
daylights distilled daisy dance .
