Okay so one year ago the boomers at Codex blessed us with another list of the greatest RPGs ever made, but this time including some modern ones and what they called some hidden gems.What do you think?
>>3836288Way too many non-RPGs (Diablo, Witcher, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Dragon's Dogma, Gothic, TES etc.) and shit meme games that are only there to pad space (Blackguards, Darklands, Grimoire etc.)
>>3836288I think /vrpg/ thinks about codex more than codex thinks about /vrpg/
>>3836296We're a dead gay board on the most dead, gay, irrelevant and low IQ website on the internet, so definitely.
>look up the few games i don't know>"mostly positive" reviews>from some studio i never heard of are those games shill inserts or did normies on steam just get filtered? not gonna spend $44.99 on knight's chalice 2 to find out.
Why are you posting this faggot shit again>>3836296It's one or two losers who spam these dogshit threads
>>3836296The guy posting this is a mentally ill loser from the codex.
>>3836288Too many non-RPGs. Don't like seeing bethesda and nu bioware and obsidian >>3836304some are "shill" games overrated because they were developed by forum membersKOTC2 is worth a playthrough. Tactical 3.5E with a tons of depth and hihg difficulty, very modular also. it's on gog if $45 is too much iykwim
>>3836288I don't think about it at all
>>3836288>Diablo>DIablo II>but no Titan Quest>no REAL Soldak underground like Din's Legacy
>>3836288I've said it before: all-inclusive top lists are useless. Many, highly-curated lists are always the way to go.
>>3836288>Trouble Shooter>Nier AutomataDecline
Why do they hate Oblivion and Skyrim with a passion but have shit like Elden Ring and Nier on there?
>>3837794Contrarianism is a hell of a drug.
>>3836296First time I've heard about Codex
>>3836288they really hate larian huh. rogue trader and tyranny are better than a lot games on there but whatever. at least they have kingmaker above wrath and me1 as the best mass effect, those are contrarian takes i agree with
>>3836367>Titan QuestTitan quest was very boring.Diablo 1 and 2 are much better.>>3836380Trouble Shooter is a great game.>>3837794Because oblivion ruined the series they liked and skyrim was even more dumbed down than oblivion.>>3837806>they really hate larian huhPre original sin larian was okey by the codex. Original sin was seen as mediocre past the first act , 2 was seen as just a worse sequel and bg3 needs no explanation.But they do pick larian stuff for top 10 goty frequently.
>>3837806People like you still think websites are hiveminds? Still haven't grown up?
>>3837819>Pre original sin larian was okey by the codex. Original sin was seen as mediocre past the first act , 2 was seen as just a worse sequel and bg3 needs no explanation.>But they do pick larian stuff for top 10 goty frequently.that sounds like a sensible place, i gotta give that place a go>>3837838shut up retard
>>3837841>tears of a childDelicious.
>>3837845lol
>IWD2
>tome4 as the sole roguelike representativelollmao
>>3836288Really shows how they fell to the "Action RPG" menace over the last decade.
>>3837894Can you name some good ones?
>>3837914NetHack, Brogue, Sil, DCSS, Cataclysm, Angband, Moria, Omega, Infra Arcana, IVAN, DoomRL, anything other than cooldownslop
>>3837921But i like cooldowns...
>>3836288>RPG Codexis it still a thing?
>>3838970OP says, bumping his thread.
>>3836380>hating on Troubleshooterwhat in tarnation
>>3836288>the only Japanese game on the list is Elden Ring, an action game
>>3842756I see four Japanese action games on it.
>>3837865It's a good game with horrible class balance and xp system that noone testedThankfully, some turbotranny autists reverse engineered the game and made enhanced edition which is fucking fantastic and a must play (source code is lost so thankfully B*amdog decided reverse engineering was not viable financially which kept their grubby mitts off this gem)
>>3842858>fucking fantastic and a must playlol
>>3836288WOTR is infinitely better than Kingmaker. Leagues better. To omit it from this list and yet to include things such as Nier Automata which isn't even an RPG is baffling.The Codex is in decline.
>>3842756>>3842904Is there a better quality image for these anons? We're old men here and we don't see so good no more.
>>3842904>>3842905Never mind I'm blind.Still doesn't explain why Nier Automata is on the list.
>>3836288ja2 is not an rpg its a tactical game
>>3842908I mean, it really is a poor quality image.>why Nier Automata is on the listNu-Codex is full of retarded babbies. Look how high the Witcher games and KCD are on the list.
>>3842909Lilura wants to know your location.
>>3836288>>3836291Yeah, I'm a bit confused by the list as presented. More than half of them aren't even RPGs and the rest are giving the feel of a college freshman padding his book report at the last minute. If you give a top three thousand list, that isn't gonna mean much.Kenshi is not an RPG. It's a proof of (amazing) concept, but defintely not an RPG. Witcher is not an RPG. At fucking all. Elden Ring is not a goddamn RPG. What the FUCK. etc.Fucking gross that Arcanum and Colony Ship are being shown to the public. Censor that shit.Why would you mention Tales Of Maj'Eyal but you didn't put ADOM or Caves Of Qud in the list?Who is this fucking numpty?!
>>3842904I dunno, I like Wrath but I also love Kingmaker. Wrath has more polish I guess, but with Call Of The Wild mod and the item crafting mod, Kingmaker is an extraordinary experience and it feels more interesting as a fantasy adventure story. Wrath feels like a chore at times because of just HOW FUCKING MUCH COMBAT you have to slog through. And the number bloat from Mythic makes shit just feel like a clown show.
Am I the only one who doesn't like Fallout or Fallout 2? I mean, I love similar games from that era, BG, BG2, IwD, Planescape, Arcanum, JA2 (borderline RPG admittedly). But Fallout just doesn't do anything for me. Maybe it's the setting, just boring and grey and radioactive scorpions yawn. Interface is clunky. It just doesn't speak to me.
>>3837794>"rpg", american :|>"rpg", japan :0
>>3836288>Witcher 1 and 2>No Ultima VII
>>3836288archolos is mid af like in gothic you do boring chores in the beginning and then later do actual fun shit but in archolos its chores all way through
>>3836291>Diablo, Witcher, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Dragon's Dogma, Gothic, TES etc.those are role playing games, anon. some of those are closer to the original spirit of D&D than the visual novels with D&D branding that you didn't complain aboutare you mistaking Role Playing Game for Interactive Fiction With Tacked On Combat Encounters To Save Scum Through?
>>3836288People are sure playing the shit out of this Gothic 2 total conversion...
>>3836288I still don't get what rpgs are. Coming here has made me even more confused.
>>3844812Good, stay downtrodden and confused and part of a meaningless herd your entire life.
