Arcanum vs Planescape: Torment

[Cloaked Figure]

[edit]

 

[Darth Roxor]

Voted for Torment simply because I didn't play Arcanum, because I didn't like the graphixxx :declineofthecodex:

 

[Jaime Lannister]

Arcanum, because it has more role-playing. PS:T has the better story and dialog.

 

[JarlFrank]

PS:T because it is my all-time favourite. But... well, Arcanum is actually more replayable for me. I played it 5 times and could still replay it a sixth time. Still, I vote for PST.

 

[The Feral Kid]

Arcanum.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

PS:T

This is really apples and oranges, and i don't particular like oranges.

I voted Arcanum. It offers more freedom in character development, has a much richer game world, is purely turn-based, HAS ARMOR etc.

 

[Applegate's Breasts]

Arcanum. The game reacts accordingly to whatever character your playing. Brilliance.

What the fuck? Go run these kind of polls at GameFAQs.

Fucking newfags.

 

[Thrasher]

they shouldn't be compared - they're both good and different

 

[Raapys]

PS:T, it was just a better and more memorable experience, at least on the first playthrough.

 

[Erebus]

Arcanum versus Torment ? Are you kidding or are you really bereft of any taste whatsoever ?

Oh hey it's Cloaked Figure, the newest attention whore to hit the codex

Please be quiet.

He threatened this almost two weeks ago. We had ample warning. We had time to prepare. We did nothing.

 

[Raapys]

Apathy is death.

 

[Comrade Hamster]

PTSD.

 

[xantrius]

Torment

 

[RainSong]

geeee can you tell me what is better, deus ex or painkiller?

wiiiiiiiii, I've made another pointless thread.

 

[Thrasher]

which is better, sucking elephant cock, or eating twinkies?

 

[Comrade Hamster]

which is better, sucking elephant cock, or eating twinkies?

Both at once.

Actually, I would not call combat in Arcanum lackluster. Some interesting things happen when you have a mixture of technological and magickal characters--not to mention different combat styles, weaponry, and stats of your questing party.

 

[Sirus]

cloaked figure vs larping dude who is more annoying?

 

[Cogar]

and i actually loved the RT combat in arcanum but did not want to share that becos of the flaemz i would get for it

The RT combat is OK when playing on "Easy," but it is inadequate for the higher difficulties IMO. Anyway, I have pretty much played Arcanum turn-based and have never tried their "Quick Turn Based" version, whatever that is.

Arcanum bitches. I actually replayed that one. PT:S, for all its greatness, only captivated me twice (second time didn't even bother to finish it).
