I just looked at the top row and it's pretty good. I've played all the games in that row except for Jagged Alliance and Witcher 3, and the only game there that I didn't really enjoy is BG2. If I made my own top 10 RPGs list it would be pretty similar to the top row

>>3958782

ah yes, mount and blade: warband, definitely an RPG and infinitely better than dragon age: origins

It's really hard to make a top 100 RPG list because most RPGs are bad. It's a genre with a lot of potential that very rarely reaches that potential. There's a very good reason that most of the most beloved RPGs are the ones which hybridise with other genres and therefore dodge the pitfalls of boring gameplay and mucho texto.

>>3959111

>>3959111
>porn game
>only BoF is that shitty Dragon Quarter

where's the real list?

>>3961159
I feel like this is a huge part of why the Codex community feels so off. It consists of people who try hard to come of as elitists, but for a genre of things that's mostly more potential than it is actually great, so they're obsessed with something that largely isn't that satisfying and are looking for something that fulfills their fantasies of the amazing game that actually lets them roleplay freely and have any decision they make affect the world in truly meaningful and fully realized ways, while being frustrated that this barely happens and isn't what they really wanted when it sort of does.

So they play into this identity of elitism, but it mostly feels put on because they're generally not playing things that are truly great or challenging and you can tell they're not fulfilled by most of what they do have and are chasing some ideal that will likely never exist.

>>3961200
Basically you disagree with them.

Yes, this is embarassing, anon.

Instead of focusing on this, why don't we try to solve the mystery of which RPG Codex users are just sockpuppet accounts for their mods. I'm pretty sure Roguey and Fedora Master are the same person. I haven't figured out Infinitron's secret identity yet.

When you post a top 100 list you have to specify the methodology used to generate the list. Is it fan voting? How do fans vote do they pick 100 games themselves? Is it based on what people think the best game is or is it their favorite game? Define the parameters before I even begin to form an opinion.

>>3962404
>the best game is or is it their favorite game?
There's not a lot of difference. Unless you're some fake hipster who picks Fallout even though you don't actually like playing it.

There is a lot of difference unless you are completely incapable of self reflection and acknowledging your biases. Many of my favorite games I wouldnt consider the best of the genre due to nostalgia and personal preference.

I for one love it when NPCs (usually kids and/or newfags) come at me with accusations like this. I only started posting on 4chan regularly 15 years ago so I keep thinking I'm just a "middle aged" 4chan poster. But statistically, I am very likely in the top 3% of oldest posters in every thread I post in, across all boards I frequent. Both in terms of my own age (only 34 years old) and in terms of how long I've been posting on 4chan.

>Your next post : some cope about how you've been here since 2001[sic] ACKshu--
Don't care, /v/ermin.
>B-but you use [words]
I remember when "based" was introduced to 4chan and the kids back then also tried to pull "if you say based then X". I have updated my lingo whenever it was appropriate to trigger as many NPCs as possible.

Remember, /v/ermin. You are all just ants who exist to entertain me. This ain't a two way street. I am *God*.

Even beloved classics are often botched unfinished jank. RPGs are right behind space sims when it comes to aimless scope creep holding the whole genre back.

>>3963257
You stick out like a sore thumb dude, you have a very recognizable posting style even though you rotate through three or four “personas” that you use.

I am the *GOD* of RPGs, an early 2000s member of the Codex (with the prestigious Arcane & [Patron] title), the oldest poster ITT, and the best & the wisest poster on /vrpg/ - and the last part is not me bragging, that's just me stating facts.

Mass Effect is mountain dew and doritos driven movie for lobotomized Xbox kids where both character building and combat are braindead and shallow.
KotOR is fanservise driven Star Wars theme park with inconsequential mechanics stuck between BG's opaqueness of its system and ME's casualization for console babies.
TES is jank-driven porn games engine without a single properly functioning system, no matter what kind of value you squeeze out of it, you'll be doing it through larping and modding.
DS features great degree of interaction between character building and action combat with both being very functional and never cannibalizing each other, allowing you to both solve encounters with appropriate gear choices and power through fight on sheer consistency of your dodgerolls.

>BG3 lost to Jagged Alliance 3
I hate BG3 and think it’s an overrated mediocre game plagued by poor decisions during its development.
That said, the guy running the site fortified the election by rigging it such that different votes were counted with different weights, in order to ensure that BG3 lost, out of a petty grievance, and not from the choice of the voters. That’s a totally dishonest and pathetic thing to do. JA3 barely even counts as an RPG, and it’s completely obvious to anyone that BG3 was the bigger, more popular, and more influential RPG of the year.

>>3961343
Why is his post reddit?

>>3966050
No, because half the users here are annoying, retarded faggots, and in this day and age those sorts of threads tend to attract those people in concentration (much like this thread), thereby ensuring the list will be shit, which is undoubtedly why the RPGCodex one is so dubious, because people with taste and intellect would most certainly rather either actually play the games or discuss them, yep yep.

>>3958781
you can't make a list of the best RPGs of all time anyways

>>3966992
that's just not true anon and the source spreadsheets are there for anyone to audit

the real reason is simple as balls
modern codex is a bunch of [mostly eastern european] trad-right contrarians who need a place to type 'nigger', share hitler or holocaust jokes, and mock trannies
they aren't real rpg enthusiasts
"the average score" system allows for easy manipulation by a dedicated group with a handful of smurf accounts (sometimes this isn't even required)
just spam '1' votes enough times and now a game with twice the votes AND twice the points will lose b/c no one actually bothers to play a game they will likely score as 1 so there are almost no genuine low scores
And this didn't start with BG3

The hilarious part is that they know they manipulate the vote, they are literally coordinating, and they still throw celebrations "WE DID IT PLEBBIT!" afterwards.
Truly eastern europeans "trads" are never going to get voting

Any rpg, crpg or trpg coming up? Best I could find is gothic remake, it's like 2 years late and I'm out of the know for like 2 years. 8 guess bloodlines 2 is shit?

>>3974668
there are two mass effect clones coming up next year, The Expanse: Osiris Reborn and Exodus

>>3974668
From the "big ones" it's

Dark Heresy
Exodus
Expanse
Solasta 2 (it's in Early Access for now)
Gothic remake

Listing far away stuff like Divinity, TES VI or Kenshi 2 feels pointless

>>3974701
Thx. Do you think they are good? Exodus looks rough, but this can change and owlcucks are scum.
I've just read that d2r will get more dlc? It's beyond laughable at this point.

>>3974717
>TES VI
Kek, it's like an evergreen for what 20 years?
>kenshi 2
Yeah, right.

Looks like solasta 2 the bg3 clone is the way to go and gothic remake might be fun. Kinda hoped for a new tactics ogre or fft. I know there are remakes, but new entries would be nice. With today's development times this might take 10 years. We just don't have the tech we had in the 90s where 15 months was a standard development time.

>>3974636
Have you considered not making newfag posts on 4chan.org/vrpg/ if you do not wish to be called a newfag? All you have to do is TRY to fit in.

SKALD deserves the number 1 spot in 2024 but JA3 and Tainted Grail were really obviously astroturfed just because certain posters didn't like BG3 and E33 for reasons other than their merits.

Are you stupid or just pretending?
Codextards are so irrelevant that they need to come here, shill their chart every month with a thread, and try to talk with someone new, because with their terrible management they created an echochamber where anybody with IQ normal and above left the website and all they had left is a circlejerk. There is NOTHING new Codextards can offer these days, they had their days and now all they can do is throw temper tantrums, its one sided beef and its hilarious

>>3975552

>>3975552
>they had their days
Yeah, like 18 years ago.

>>3975552
It’s sad to see them clinging on like that. My S*mething Awful account is older than most of /vrpg/ but I acknowledged and accepted their decline into irrelevance many years ago, and moved on.

>>3975582
Primadonnas like beef moved out, but trannies got too prominent

>>3975552
it's just the way of the times
grognards either have to accept newfags (which don't like forums anyway), or die off
either way, the direction CRPGs is going (BG3) means the genre is dead anyway

>>3975869
This is the truth, eh?
>age of dark
In the far distance, I sense the presence of tiny flames, images of crpg that surpass bg2, Like precious embers, left to us by past Lords, linkers of the fire crpg of the future.

The most predictable Codex newfag.

RPG Codex has plenty of newfags, but they're slavs and south americans.

KEK, nice way to out yourself, jeetranny. So, you got a 3 day ban in "the Cain thread" huh? Oddly specific thing to bring up. Either it's because you got a 3 day ban yourself and you're projecting - or because you are a jannyjeet / jannytranny. Either way, I am clearly gonna live rent free in your head eternally now that you're this buttblasted. I probably trigger you across the entirety of 4chan, i.e. when you do your do it for free (5 rupees a day) shilling for Israel on /pol/ or /a/ too.

> Codex newfag.
I am the biggest oldfag on Codex who posts in this shithole, and I am also the oldest poster on /vrpg/, which isn't even worth bragging about.

RPGCodex is better than /vrpg/ and /crpgg/ honestly. They actually play and discuss games

both /v/ and /vrpg/ went to shit in recent years and might be one of the worst places to discuss games or have any discussion at all

There's the fact that 2's writing, as others have already mentioned, is of varying quality, but even more important than that for me is the scope of the games. Fallout 1 has a more limited scope, more in line with other classic RPGs like Baldur's Gate and PS:T where the side content is structured around the main quest and your character grows in power gradually throughout that quest, it's open world but there's a clear narrative and gameplay structure. On the other hand Fallout 2 feels more like a precursor to modern day open world RPGs, where you have several activity hubs where you do quests and meet factions most of which contain content almost completely unrelated to the main storyline which you may or may not even bother doing (and your character is basically done progressing by the time you've cleared half of those locations), meanwhile the main quest is something that's somewhere in the background which you get around to doing when you're done with fucking around doing side quests. It's a matter of whether your prefer your RPGs to be focused adventures or sandboxes.

>>3979710
Can't you just not do side content in FO2? I never completed it so I don't know how high level you need to be for endgame

>>3979721
Of course you can skip most content, in fact FO2 is one of the RPGs where you can most easily skip the most content, what I'm talking about is the difference between building a main quest and then building an open world around it versus building an open world sandbox first and then having a main quest take place in it. I know it sounds like semantics but the difference in design philosophy is noticeable in the pacing of the game, Fallout 1 may have less content but it's a tighter game.

>>3979275
extreme hyperslav over here

>>3958818
Funny thing is that around the early years of 4chan to around 2010 (estimating), FO2 was actually being recommended over FO1, simply because it had more content, more playstyles, more items, more choice and consequences, etc.

It was around 2018 (again, estimating) onwards that people started recommending FO1 over 2, because 1 was tonally consistent and didn't have the pop culture memes possibly because they didn't understand it, or the fans now prefer something that is thematically consistent instead of memes

Remember that looter shooter Borderlands game? The complaints against it happened inbetween the shift of recommending one fallout over the other.

>>3979729
Yeah there was a clear shift in people seeing stuff like Monty Python references as pros then as cons.

>>3958818
FO2 has completely fucked up dogshit skill balance. Sawyer put in incredible effort into making FNV's skills perfectly balanced and useful no matter what you focus on. FO1 had technically a similar problem but the small scale of the adventure made it so you could actually get away with shit builds and still beat the game (my girlfriend played through the game without putting any points in any weapon skills except throwing, she started out with First Aid and Doctor and Throwing tagged but also 10 Charisma so she could eventually get her speech high enough to be relevant too; if she did the same in Fallout 2 the game would be unbeatable without metagaming). FNV limited the amount of skills you could pick without losing anything actually important + the impact of tagging skills at start, so no matter what build you start with you can easily beat the game without doing any gimmicks or metagaming.

Anyone who pretends FO2 is "betterer" than either FO1 or FNV is either a braindamaged zoomie (see any Bethesda subhuman who "goes back to the oldies") or a nostalgia glasses zoomlenial who liked Fallout 2 more as a kid because you could have sex with Bishop's daughter and that farmer slut in it and it had cooler armors and weapons and companions. In every aspect that actually matters, FO1 reigns supreme and every person who worked on Fallout 2 agrees with that and most of them except the ones who died agree FNV is also better than Fallout 2.

This will trigger the left, but it already owned the left.

>>3958804
yes and yes. I wouldn't even entertain an argument otherwise.origins is not only clearly worse, it's also less of an rpg.

>>3979275
fack you bloody bich benchenoid basterd
/vrpg/ is friends of India

>>3958804
Seeing DA:O retroactively be considered a classic RPG, a shining example of the good ol' days when RPGs were good, by zoomers who never knew any better has been one of the worst experiences of my life.

>>3979746
>has been one of the worst experiences of my life.
Lol that just means you're a weak bitch boy

>>3979746
tbf even at the time so many people gaslit themselves into thinking this was the resurgence of crpgs.

>>3979746
Dragon age was released in 2009, the period from 2005-2012 was a draught for crpg's.
Same reason kickstarter garbage like wasteland 2 is praised so much.

How is grimwah that high?
Also, how is Heroine's Quest in there but none of the Quest for Glory games it was based off of are?

>>3979763
There's Quest for Glory 4

>>3979729
FO1 was a small and relatively short game compared to FO2.
Every single location in FO1 except for the raider camp was crafted to point the player towards the next step towards either the cathedral or the military base. The end of the game basically railroaded the player to become an unstoppable force of destruction, wearing a powered armor and wielding the accelerated plasma rifle. Not much freedom to talk about.

>FO2 was actually being recommended over FO1, simply because it had more content, more playstyles, more items
I felt this way back in the day too, about Baldurs Gate 2 as well. Funny how the older I got, I preferred the simplicity of the first games over their expanded sequels.

>>3980351
I was there. Nothing of interest. Basically adgd.

>>3980554
>I preferred the simplicity of the first games over their expanded sequels.
I don't think Fallout 2 was more complex than the first game

>>3981037
It's all over the place when it comes to areas and their themes.

>>3981037
>I don't think Fallout 2 was more complex than the first game
FO2 and BG2 had higher power levels. More levels, stronger items, more spells and abilities, etc.

>>3981356
BG2 could be said to be more complex. BG1's encounters tended to be plain, it had fewer class kits, thieves couldn't set traps, etc.

>>3981681
They didnt really use the tools in bg1 to their full extent. Theres like 2 enemies that even use dimension door in the whole game. Why did they even bother to program it

That said at lrast they even have dimension door. Newer games like pathfinder just program tons of autistic to hit math without actually changing any of the gameplay.

This hobby is for autists and i wish i had never gotten into dnd because theres likr a total of 3 good games total and the fanbase is retarded

>>3958818
Simply because FO1 is the more consistent game desu

>>3979742
No matter how much copium you huff, NV is still a mod for a mod for Oblivion which itself is a busted ass janky prototype of an idea of a game.

Tainted Grail became GOTY so Expedition 33 couldn't. E33 couldn't be allowed to win at any cost, it was too popular
