4. WHAT EVEA FAG

 

[Excidium II]

You can't even see the votes in this poll.

utter trash.

 

[Serious_Business]

last option

I also chose this. Just a plain and simple old fag

 

[Joni Odin von Hassenstein]

I'm really disappointed that C&C hasn't got more votes.

 

[Nekot-The-Brave]

Newfag isn't an option? q.q

 

[Abu Antar]

I'm straight.

 

[Neanderthal]

Benson & Hedges.

 

[Renegen]

Storyfag is the codex's #1 population, ahah ohwow.

Actually it would've been my one and only vote but I'm disappointed in not having more C&C fags, I want more than 100h open world "rpgs".

 

[Lhynn]

Storyfags are the worst.

 

[Grokalibre]

So who are these storyfags? Where is their yellow badge?

 

[VioletShadow]

Settingfag, storyfag, explorationfag in that order

 

[Fairfax]

Surprised at C&C being the last. Guess it's hard for newer players to be C&Cfags when 99% of modern "RPGs" have none of it.

 

[Lhynn]

As long as the execution is good and the game enjoyable i dont give a crap.

 

[Owlish]

Voted: CNC, story and exploration. Would vote: atmosphere, aesthetic, setting. It's all really story and presentation.

 

[poetic codex]

I think you missed a certain kind of fag: atmosphere fag.

To me this is the most important aspect of a game. Ambient sounds, musical soundtrack, artwork, voice acting, color palette, graphics design. When all these things flow together towards a consistent cohesive whole, a game has a distinct atmosphere and sucks you into its world. Icewind Dale 1 has a very rich consistent atmosphere. Whatever you might think of the game itself, Black Isle Studios, nailed the atmosphere down to perfection. VTM: Bloodlines and Arcanum are also very consistent and have well developed atmospheres.

I have found that adventure games tend to satisfy my atmosphere fag needs the most though. Games like The Void, The Dig, Riven: the sequel to Myst etc. take you to atmospheric dreamscapes that offer alternate experiences outside of the daily drudgery of life. It's like having the benefits of mind bending drugs without taking drugs.

True dat, I think I even mentioned it in my first post in this thread.
Ever played Gothic? If there's a game that nails atmosphere it's this, imho.

Also Vagrant Story, but that was only available for the first Playstation.

 

[poetic codex]

Yes, I have played Gothic and the atmosphere is indeed amazing. I even found a way to play with the German voices even though I was only in a beginner German class in school. Although I didn't understand many of the words, the atmosphere improved tenfold with the German voice actors compared to the English voice actors.

C&C is obviously the correct choice. Where is the realism and historical accuracy choice, though? You're missing some crucial choices in that poll.

We wouldn't have rpgs if that was an actual thing.

 

[Agesilaus]

We wouldn't have rpgs if that was an actual thing.

Yes we would. Real gamers demand that designers pay respect to our ancestors by maintaining a degree of historical accuracy. Next you'll tell me you'd be perfectly fine seeing an army of Spartan archers who like to dual wield double-headed axes.

I'm pretty sure those spartan warriors would be too much in debt to afford double headed axes

 

[imweasel]

<- Combatfag, Systemsfag, Storyfag, Musicfag, Simulationst-CnC-fag, UI-fag, Presentationfag, Itemizationfag, Explorationfag

In that order.

 

[Bigg Boss]

I chose Choice and Consequences. It is one of the main things I look for in a RPG, aside from story, and decent mechanics. Satisfying combat is a perk.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

So who are these storyfags? Where is their yellow badge?

:gaider:

 

[DawnrazorDCLXVI]

I love atmosphere as much as exploration.

Also, you're right, story is superfluous to any Elder Scrolls game. I loved Oblivion on mods, if only because they nailed stealth.
