Best RPG of 2008

[Darth Roxor]

Voted for SoZ.

 

[mondblut]

I'm surprised there aren't more votes for the uber-sandbox Mount & Blade.

Cause it had been around for like 4 years already.

I am surprised there are so many votes for a patch.

 

[Carlos' Bitch1]

You are surprised at the votes for it this year? Look at the shit on offer, not that this year is any different to the last number of years. I will try SoZ perhaps, but apart from that this list just makes me want to vomit.


RPG's released 20 years ago.... http://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/1988/dos/x,50/

Read it and weep.

"Many fans of the BG series have been disappointed by NWN. This is a fact. BG2 has a more creative story and better combat [especially because of it being party based] than NWN. This is a fact, too."

Blah. Blah. Blah.

 

[Deleted member 7219]

BG2 has better combat than NWN?

R00fles!

 

[Jaime Lannister]

nvm

 

[Ogg]

Why ain't I surprised?

 

[poocolator]

I wasn't aware that Failout 3 was an RPG. Suppose I hadn't noticed this in between god-awful FPS-imitating combat and forgettable cannon-fodder NPCs.

 

[DemonKing]

How can anyone vote for TW even they actually like it? The game didn't come out this year. An enhanced patch doesn't make it a new game worthy of the vote. if it did, NWN1 would eligible. Dumbasses.

No...NWN1 would never be eligible to be the best game of any year...

I voted for Mass Effect. It's the only one I've finished so far although I'm at various stages of completion with SoZ and FO3.

To be honest if they'd cut out the awful sidequests it would have been a clear winner...

I am suprised by how little love Drakensang receives.

Well, seeing as so far it has only been released in German, it's likely not a lot of people have played it yet.

 

[Rhalle]

Have to vote for Mass Effect, but would vote Witcher again if I could.

I liked NWN OC a lot also. I know the modders want to think that anything but the embarassing junk they make is irrelevant and that the game was mostly about the toolset, but they are wrong.

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

I voted for Mount & Blade out of all the CRPGs I played. Of course, I never bought NWN2 so no SoZ for me. I still haven't gotten around to The Witcher either. So, the choice would be out of Mass Effect, Fallout 3, and Mount & Blade.

 

[BethesdaLove]

Of those games I played... not a single one.
Fallout 3 wins by default... the plastic goblet of shit prize.

 

[DraQ]

 

[Shagnak]

Fallout 3 wins by default for me as well. Haven't played anything else on that list, though I do own Sacred 2 and Mass Effect. I'll likely get around to them next year some time. (if I was allowed a couple of years leeway I would have voted for Nethergate Resurrection).

Mind you, SoZ should arrive today according to my supplier. That automatically goes up on the priority list for me as I would like to experience it before all the talk about it dries up.

 

[poocolator]

God just because Failout 3 wins by default doesn't mean you have to vote for it. Stop feeding Bethesduh's war machine.

 

[Volourn]

"Mass Effect, Fallout 3, and Mount & Blade."

Then pick ME or FO3. M&B has been around for more than a year. L0L

So, let me get... The 'winner' of the thread is a game that didn't come out this year and the runner up is one of the shittiest games ever?

WTF, codex, WTF!?!

 

[made]

Haven't touched SoZ as I'm sick and tired of the NWN engine, ME is ok but nowhere close to GOTY material. That leaves only one option... GO WITCHER GO!!! :DDD

 

[Fenril]

Is "hinterland" any good?

The spirit engine 2....heh.

 

[oldschool]

Mount & Blade. Even though I bought it forever ago.

 

[Jaime Lannister]

People are still voting. SoZ might win after all.

 

[Silellak]

"Mass Effect, Fallout 3, and Mount & Blade."

Then pick ME or FO3. M&B has been around for more than a year. L0L

WTF, codex, WTF!?!

"One of the shittiest games ever"? I could see someone arguing it's one of the shittiest RPGs ever. At least in that case, they could make an argument, though I wouldn't agree with it.

However, it is gold compared to this sort of shit:

BG2 has better combat than NWN?

R00fles!

You're right - it IS hilarious that anyone could consider NWN's combat to even be in the same league as BG2's combat.

 

[Volourn]

I don't care about games that ar ebyond the pale. Most of the games on your list aren't shitty. They're beyond shitty.

 

[Jaime Lannister]

I voted King's Bounty, if anyone cares. It's not a shitty game at all, not sure why it's losing to Fallout 3.

 

[Spectacle]

I voted King's Bounty, if anyone cares. It's not a shitty game at all, not sure why it's losing to Fallout 3.

I suppose most of the people who like King's Bounty like The Witcher or SoZ even better, while the retards who love Fallout 3 don't like any quality games at all.

 

[Volourn]

TW, SOZ, FO3, and KB all suck even thoguh I have even't bothered to try those last two. Marketing was so dreadful on both of them, I didn't even get suckered out of my money!

HAHAHAHA!
