Planescape: Torment. No other game in existence even comes close.

How did I know somebody was going to write that. Planescape Torment: The single most over-rated piece of garbage I've ever set eyes on. My thoughts exactly. It's old and decrepit...let it die already. I played a quarter of the way through and thought it was awful. It seems to me like people like to bring up the fact that they've played these old games to appear wise, sanctimonous or something because they think they're the"root" of PC game evolution.
I assure you, I sincerely and wholeheartedly enjoyed Planescape, One of the greatest games ever made on any platform. I'll dare and say: never before Planescape, and never after any Game,Book, Movie was able to present story so unique, strange and delicate.
I honestly can not understand how can someone who actually has taste, as a concept, play planescape and at least not acknowledge it's greatness. I mean the STORY, QUESTS,CHARACTERS, the atmosphere you have to be blind not to see all this. The only thing I can assume is that you played with fighter character, never put any points in charisma or intelligence, missed every single side quest and all the great dialogue because of this. If it's what is the case, I encourage you to play the game again, put all your points in intelligence and charisma, even use cheats if necessary just have both of them 18+. and try playing a Mage. Do not use violence unless absolutely necessary. even in the very first location mortuary, do not kill any zombies, talk to them. you will not have to attack a single creature if you play your cards right, and you'll experience some of the most strange and moody quests there is, follow this path through rest of the game and you'll see why planescape is a legendary game. (And why it scored 90+/100 on every gaming site and even got itself on Gamespot's "Best Games Ever list")
Gameplay was good in P:T, it wasn't great like in BG: Shadows of amn, but it was not anything bellow good.
As for forgetting old games that is one more thing I disagree with you on. We will N*E*V*E*R forget legends, and we'll allways keep Arrogantly pointing out to all the next generation of noobies that we've played all of the very best Gaming has to offer. I mean common? How can anyone who played System Shock and Deus Ex stand by and not laugh at someone who thinks bioshock is the first game to combine RPG with Shooter?
