The graphics have not. The plot has. beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 29/10/2009 01:00:11 AM
I recently tried to replay Baldur's Gate, and almost immediately threw my hands up in horror at the incredibly out-dated interface and gave up. The game has aged horrendously.

I've never played Planescape, and I fully intend to do so someday. The essential question is not whether I should play it, but how much I am willing to pay to play it. And part of that is: has it aged well?


I first played Planescape only a few years ago; I never got around to playing it when it first came out.

Graphics are very, very, very dated. The resolution is like 640xwhatever. The screen size you walk on before having to scroll is pretty small.


Maybe there are graphics patches, I don't know. However, if you're a fan of CRPGs at all, definitely grab the game. The characters and plot are hands-down the best I've seen in this genre, and I'd say are definitely in the top tier of games of all time.
I amuse myself.

Eeeeeeeenteresting. I'm usually the first to criticize all things old, but I handled that game fine. *NM* Aemon - 29/10/2009 04:55:22 AM 350 Views
Yes and no. I agree with beet. Cymbaline - 29/10/2009 04:15:25 AM 792 Views
Hmm. I'll definitely try to get my hands on it. lord-of-shadow - 29/10/2009 04:24:02 AM 747 Views
That's definitely a fair gripe. Aemon - 29/10/2009 04:57:10 AM 804 Views
A bit, but your party size is smaller if IIRC beetnemesis - 29/10/2009 04:57:18 AM 726 Views

Planescape is older than BG2, I believe beetnemesis - 30/10/2009 12:51:07 AM 748 Views
Yup Werthead - 01/11/2009 03:51:28 AM 681 Views
Eh... they have production costs, and apparently there's still a demand. beetnemesis - 29/10/2009 12:57:20 AM 736 Views

BG2 & its expansion were superb, but I somehow missed Planescape. *NM* Zalis - 29/10/2009 01:31:08 PM 355 Views
I own the original. It's fine without an upgrade. Tom - 29/10/2009 09:05:22 PM 819 Views
