Please pay your bills on time, DU

I went to the watch and read their comment thread on our top 10 rpg list, it was pretty funny.

Link?

Apparently voting for games that you like is having "bias" an "agenda" and "not objective". That was the biggest source of retardation, only a few wanted recent Bethesda and Bioware games included.

It doesn't seem like any of them have picked up on the fact that it's a tallying of votes from all users.

What a great thread to read while enjoying my Carl's Jr. cheeseburger and fries. Thanks!

That's a great thread indeed. Nothing like a list from RPGCodex to revive the carcass of RPGwatch and bring out the fun.

Why Morrowind but not Oblivion?

Fallout #1, really? There have been a bunch of post-apocalyptic games. At the time it may have been nearly unique, but we are talking about the greatest of all time not at that time. Let's keep some perspective here. The setting is boring and tired. Nothing really innovative there.

And the combat was tedious. Saying that companions don't count when they make combat excruciating tedious and bad is just a poor excuse for a bad design.

How come no Mass Effect

Dungeon Lords > Fallout 1

Icewind Dale is hack and slash and very transparent hub and spoke. It is nothing like the BG series really. I can't fathom why it is ranked so high. Then again I can't fathom why half this list is like it is other than its some nostalgic trip or part of the "you're an rpgnoob if you don't love Fallout 1" mindset. Many modern games are far more enjoyable including the less loved titles here such as Fallout 3, NWN2, Mass Effect series, Oblivion, Gothic 3 etc. I'd rank any Spiderweb title above Arcanum or Icewind Dale (but not BG). Really the BG's are the only thing here I agree with.

I gave them a little piece of my mind. I hope you guys are okay with that.

FALLOUT IS RETROACTIVELY BORING AND TIRED

Some of the above has to be trolling... right ? RIGHT ??

"You think wearing pants on your head is innovative because no one is doing it? Bah! Twenty years from now, everyone is gonna be wearing pants on their head. You're banalshitboring."

Todd (the Dungeon Lords > Fallout guy) is. The others seem...sincere.

Dungeon Lords > Fallout 1

Now I've seen everything.

 

[Jaesun]

No. You really haven't.

 

[Zarniwoop]

it's hard whereas previously it was soft. I've set it high enough now that it shouldn't happen again.

Jaesun brofists this

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

No. You really haven't.

 

[Jack]

No. You really haven't.

Pray you NEVER will.

This is an out(r)age!

I went into that thread, read a few posts and was terrified. What a sorry bunch the Watch is. Shitting on Fallout? Really? What the fuck is wrong with those people? And people think that Codex is the cesspool? Well I'd rather be in a cesspool like the Codex, then in Popamole land on the Watch.

Pay the bills DU, because if we have to go back to the Watch again, like during Watchwitz, I will cut myself.

 

[Mortmal]

i've read that too, no point arguing when people ask why mass effect isnt on the list and why fallout is on top..You can argue aboutt he order the titles are sorted on the list, but the top 5 deserves their ranks without any doubts.

 

[Helton]

You know for over a decade I would type in RPGCODEX into my browser and the WATCH would pop up on my screen I was unsure what was real and what was nightmare but I never condescended to visit their forums. Some things are just too horrible.

Now I am a healthy law abiding codexian stooge again. FALLOUT IS GOD FALLOUT IS GOD!

Ahh. Home sweet home.

 

[King Crispy]

Welcome back. Pull up a tentacle.

To be fair, most of the Fallout games are shit. Only Fallout 1 and Fallout: New Vegas (Specifically, factions and Dead Money) are worth a serious mention.

But, I digress.

 

[Whisky]

Whoa, what happened? Did I miss my first RPG Watch evacuation?

Damn!

(Well, technically I was lurking during the New Years one)

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Looks like everyone will have to go back to being numbers again for a while.

 

[tiagocc0]

What this DarkUnderlord has to do with RPGs anyway ? His laconic comments tell how moronic this dude must be.

Oh fuck, how could I have missed this!


I went to the thread to check the comment and THEN I saw DU comment, it has been quite a while since I have laughed like this.

 

[Broseph]

That RPG Watch comments thread on our Top 10 is horrifying. Absolutely horrifying. That's like the RPG site for RPG fans whose favorite games include Mass Effect, Oblivion, and Dragon Age. I mean, I had heard it was bad before, but Jesus... sometimes you have to see to believe.

DU, I do not want to have to go there again. EVER.

I am not a number! I am a free man!

That would be quite fun actually.

 

[DakaSha]

what happens today?
