    The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

    Played this last year, aesthetics and graphic style might be a turn off but found it very chill and relaxing to play, guess i finally get why people were into harvest moon and stardew valley and such. And if anyone cares, in the end decided not to fall for the koei trap and went for...

    The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

    Question to the wise, are any of these actually good/worth the money? And if i had to pick just one to try out, which to get? Not gonna link them all but basically all the nobunaga ambition games are on sale and always wanted to dip my toes into them. Yet am wary because every recent koei...

    Helldivers 2

    Gave this a try and asked for a refund after 3 hours. I normally like the whole genre of team of jingoistic soldiers vs hordes of aliens but this one didn't click for me for a whole bunch of reasons which i guess are more to do with subjective taste then anything else. It just made me wish i...

    Owlcat's next game is an AAA title that will need full voice acting to compete with BG3

    To whoever used the monkeypaw to wish yrliet would have more voicelines to reflect her changing relationship with charname instead of calling you monkeigh all the time: kindly neck yourself.

    Between the Stars - space action game with RPG growth and real time combat - now on Early Access

    Guess i'll expand a little more since played more of it since last post. Overall i'd rate this game as ok, 6-7/10 region (and i'm old school so 6-7 isnt a bad score in my book, i often say 7/10 games tend to be my fav because that's the flawed gem category). I'm favorably disposed towards it...

    Game News Alpha Protocol gets an enhanced rerelease on GOG after five years in licensing hell

I dont...

    Between the Stars - space action game with RPG growth and real time combat - now on Early Access

    So far not hating it, reminds me a lot of Freelancer 2. The systems ain't super deep though so if you looking for something like star traders frontiers in terms of ship management this won't scratch that itch. Biggest pet peeve for me so far is your crew starting crew being rng, so i got 3 of...

    Community RPG Codex GOTY 2023: Results & Cool Graphs

    This is why robocop is so skub. On the flipside you will get people citing these same reasons as to why robocop is good: you walk around slowly as robocop should and do a lot of casual police work dealing with mundane situations, the actual shooty bits is like 20% of the game at best. Example...

    Community RPG Codex GOTY 2023: Results & Cool Graphs

    Well i stand corrected and now add my voice to the indignation: Age of Wonders 4 made the cut but Robocop didn't? :mob:

    Community RPG Codex GOTY 2023: Results & Cool Graphs

    I feel like age is really catching up with me and my eyes are no longer what they used to be. Because how else to explain the recurring accusation (at least i seen it multiple times on the steam forums and now the watch thread) that rpg codex should be ashamed or something because JA3 is not an...

    Dragon Age Dragon Age: Dreadwolf - full reveal in Summer 2024, Solas fangirls rejoice

    Can confirm that the clues given in origins as well as the various theories were more fun then being told the actual answer. This is why i no longer wish to know wtf is up with the black city and what lurks inside, no doubt the twist will be something silly like solas was the maker all along and...

    I can't think of a single RPG that depicts sex in a healthy way.

    “committed relationship reproducing”. Tbf in rpgs its almost always the start of a romance, where the emotional porn (100% correct on that btw, i add the qualifier “emotional” because no one does romance for the steamy sex scenes, well not until bg3 i guess) would be at its highest. It is rare...

    Community RPG Codex GOTY 2023: Results & Cool Graphs

    Tbh given how close the results are, i actually blame modders and journos for tilting the results enough that bg3 missed out on the top spot. This is the price of banning newtonian mods and pearl clutching over sexy shadowheart appearance changers.

    Community RPG Codex 2023 GOTY - POLL IS CLOSED!

    Another missing omission, ain't played it but it's been highly recommended and despite being animu, no codexer can look me in the eye and say this is any gayer then other high profile contenders this year.

    Community RPG Codex 2023 GOTY - POLL IS CLOSED!

    I’d contest that by stating 1-5 also encourages laziness by giving you the option of just giving something a 3/5 rating “it was ok” if you dont have enough strong feelings about a game to rate it good or bad. Whereas 1-4 actually forces people to make a stance: is the game good of bad? The 1-4...
