I didn't mean anything negative. It's much better to get differing opinions instead of a circle-jerk. I don't have any problem with someone not liking PST.

This should get the flames going...

As it happens Robowar is a really bad movie trying to unsuccessfully copy Predator.

The movie is still just the picture and sound, if it's well recorded and remastered the only difference should be the environment you watch it in.

Nah, I just prefer to not take things too seriously on the internet. My comment was obviously sarcastic. People always find something to get offended by.

How many of those actually played the game, let alone finished it? Also, not everyone who played it enjoyed it or thought that it was the best thing since sliced bread. @Jesus: Still not talking about critics here. Also watching a movie from the 1920s is still pretty much the same as watching one from this year, even if they were a bit slower back then. Just getting Torment to run these days isn't all that easy.

Man, the Balkans was just a whole peninsula of fun, wasn't it? Our one puny little concentration camp didn't hold a candle to that.

That reminds me of Robowar for some reason.

As for the Halo guy, sometimes the more crazy people get on the internet. I find it too absurd to be amusing myself.

Depends on what sort of history you're writing. If its the corporate history it wouldn't even be mentioned. If you're talking actual innovation its part of the unavoidable infinity engine period of wRPG. Matt Barton on gamasutra did a great piece on it, as he's an RPG nut. It's nice to see some people write about it and other old games. Rock Paper Shotgun did a cool piece on SS2's SHODAN a while back. I'm sure there's something about PST somewhere there as well. Same for The Brainy Gamer. I'm not saying that Torment should be forgotten, but as things are going very few people will have played it.

I want a big chocolate cake, a pony and a pretty big house.

The camera was fixed, FIXED I tell you! Still, running around with a silly oversized sword and shooting bb-guns with unlimited ammo at hoards of demons with flashy numbers popping up everywhere just doesn't appeal to me.

Never having played any of them I laugh at the newer Ninja Gaidens and also at Devil May Cry. Japanese stuff is pretty funny.

To bring out some of the games that were very important to their genre and are loved or at least well known by most people who are in the "gaming in general".

Your pipe is so wide you could send androids through there to fix your communications satellite.

And why exactly should Obsidian care about Mac and Linux? Because he's an Apple fan and by definition believes that the world should revolve around him? That's odd. You seem to have assumed a lot in that post. First of all, I'm an Ubuntu (Linux) fan, not a Mac/Apple fan. Second of all, isn't it the Windows fans who believe that the world should revolve around them when they say "Who cares about Mac or Linux"? I was (mostly) joking, as (hopefully) implied by the smiley. Secondly the world does revolve around Windows, because, you know, it's just the most common OS by a large margin(85%+), especially on gaming-capable systems.

You brought up the "hyped mainstream games" BTW. I agree that gaming in general is all games ever created and of those games PST is just a footnote in the "Awesome story" category. Most of the people today would find it too complicated/read-y/pc-only to even bother playing it. Barbie Pony Farm and Daikatana? Try Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Kart, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario 64, Goldeneye, FFVII, Tomb Raider, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake, Unreal Tournament, Command and Conquer, SimCity, Starcraft, Civilization.

why is it so hard to step back and look at things from any other perspective that current hyped main stream way in general? Because that is the perspective that we are discussing things in at the moment? Gaming in general.

Anyone thinking that Torment is more than a footnote in gaming is fooling themselves. Why is it so hard to take a step back and look at things from any other perspective than the tiny niche that is this forums and old wRPGs in general? There is that tiny problem of the PSP having one damn barely functional analog "knob". The interface is way too complicated for any of the PSP and it could use a few more pixels. It's pretty easy to play it on a netbook or a tablet.

It's on top of the class if you like console action-brawlers.

Adblock saves the day once more! SMH lame "personality" sig users.

VTM:B & Arcanum disagree. Could name more, but they seem most appropriate on a RPG dev forums. Bad luck *shrugs*. That's why I said rarely, nto all the time. VtM:B was a buggy mess at release, that probably didn't help either.

Savage XR is awesome and the community is pretty nice as well. I totally mixed Savage up with Sacrifice and just recently remembered that Savage was another cool game.

At this rate MW(5) is coming out before the MW4 re-release.

*has never had problems installing Windows* +1 I was talking about normal people, and not being entirely serious. Also, try installing windows on a netbook from a flash drive.
