Are there any codex approved games that are actually good?

[laclongquan]

I dont get why people so get their panties in a twist with The Kings. It's not like history doesnt have precedent:
The Scot roleplay girls what with their kilts.
The Swiss Guards still has their halberds.
The lawyers still wear the fake hair wigs.
The Mormons still have their polygamy (multiple wives)
etc...

Regent hairstyle and 50-era clothes is small potato.
(I dont know anything about Fallout3's vampire and dont care to enter it into equation).

 

[resilient sphere]

I know the OP is a bad troll but I've never seen anyone post a "Dark Heart of Uukrul is shit" thread. its got puzzles, dungeon delving, vaguely tactical combat, no crappy voice acting, the UI is clean and smart for an old game and it tries to kill you all the time. i think of it as the secret best RPG. guess you could complain that it forces you to have a particular party arrangement and abstracts the character creation if you really wanted.

The Mormons still have their polygamy (multiple wives)

Nicktping correction: no they don't.

Okay okay. They only practice it in 19th century, and only very small number, specific subgroup in 20th century.

The Mormons still have their polygamy (multiple wives)

Nicktping correction: no they don't.

The conservative branch of theirs still practice it~

It's officially prohibited since a couple of thousands of years; so if it happens it ain't doctrine.
If some individuals who are Mormons accept polygamy is a different question I think. To say "Mormons have polygamy" is an inaccurate statement if you say it this way.

If New Vegas is one of the best, then why Fallout 3 is bad? Why Skyrim is bad? Like someone else said here: you bash F3, yet you all consider NW as one of the best. WTF, really? It's basically the same thing, just some better writing and few other nuances. And DLC's are pretty terrible

Nigga, FO3 doesn't hold a candle to New Vegas. If the atmosphere was "moody" (read: city ruins and fog for your average Redditor) and crawling with Super Mutants to shoot at, it would be 10/10 to every Fallout 3 fan ever.

New Vegas blows FO3 out of the water in every single RPG aspect (traits, skill checks, less perks in a build but more varied, worthwile Science and Lockpicking skills, decision making, branching story, multiple outcomes to quests, quest variety, much better companions with deeper personalities and motives, better world building, unleveled world), story-wise (better written, more logical, more interesting), and gameplay-wise (craftable ammo & food & chems & upgrades, survival mode, sights, perks, more weapons & armor, no max skills or S.P.E.C.I.A.L).

Literally the only arguments people who love FO3 over New Vegas are:

- Better atmosphere (that doesn't make any sense for FO3)
- Better open world (that is completely disjointed and lacks any structure whatsoever)
- LIAM NEESON (even though his character is awful and the voice makes no difference at all)
- Super mutants (see point 1)

You won't find any "logical" reason to praise FO3 over New Vegas that isn't included in those 4 points, or that contradicts established facts (like people saying FO3's companions were better than New Vegas when they barely had any personality to begin with).

I can't seem to remember a single companion from FO3, in fact, i can't remember much from FO3 except the starting town with the nuke in it, and only cause i couldn't get over how fucking stupid it was to make a town around a nuke.

Yeah, that's pretty much all I remember too, except there was a quest to fetch the Consitituion I think, and the ending with that water plant thing.

 

[Orobis]

there was a quest to fetch the Consitituion

Oh yea i remember that one now, that's the quest were you get the Abraham Lincoln rifle right? That one wasn't too bad.

 

[an Administrator]

I just remember Fawks from FO3 companions.

the Consitituion

IIRC it was declaration of independence. Pretty banal quest. The world has burned but all the old guy wants is a paper to complete his collection.

 

[Wayward Son]

To accept troll bait,
All Wizardries I've played (1,4,5,6) are great and loved around here.
I'm not sure if it's overall opinion around here, but I just finished DOOM ep1 (not a crpg, but still) and loved every minute of it.
Fallout 1 is one of my constant replay games.
F:NV was a fun and good RPG.
So yeah. Troll attempt accepted.

You played Wizardry 6 and consider it to be "great" but haven't played Wizardry 7 ? There are some people who like parts 1-5 but not 6-7 but to draw a line between part 6 and 7 is a new to me. A honest question - why ?

 

[Wayward Son]

I haven't played all the way through 6 yet and want to import my party at the end of 6. I'm sure I'll love it when I do play it.

 

[Jaesun]

A 6 > 7 > 8 imported party is a BLAST, you will enjoy it.

Don't forget to get the ring!

 

[Beggar]

I'm really interested how many of you consider Deus Ex: Human Revolution being a good game

 

[Joni Odin von Hassenstein]

I think I read actually some here who do.
I don't really, especially since it's totally lacking in the department of c&c.
But I've some more outrageous preferences: I consider Deus Ex: Invisible War to be a good game!

 

[Orobis]

There were some bits here and there that i liked but yea overall it's popamole garbage.

 

[Sigourn]

I played, on average, the same amount of DX and DX:HR. And the latter can't even compare. Not even the shiny graphics make its atmosphere on par with the original game. Plus it always feels like you are handholded through levels. Turning off the compass arrow is a pointless exercise since you basically have to break into every house you can find to get to that one NPC you need.

 

[Lhynn]

Llama-Yak Hybrid is one of the laziest trolls on the codex.

 

[Jick Magger]

I like Tetris.

 

[Doktor Best]

Ah the "everything is shit bitch" is in town. And everyone comes from afar to try and please her.

"This game, your highness, might fit your excuisite taste. It is of such high quality that the moon began to weep when it lay its eyes upon it, and so the stars were born"
