Codex's GOTY! The best RPG of 2018?

[Ismaul]

You guys are all D1Pers beta testers?

GOTY for me is Elex. I like to be fashionably late.

We actually had a lot of games, the problem is that most of them were a huge disappointment or just "meh".

BTW fantadomat, your poll is missing Monster Hunter: World, which probably got a lot more play time in the Codex than PoE2 or Kingdom Come.

It is not missing,it is forum for CRPG not a MMO-JRPG one.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

jrpgs aren't RPGs

 

[felipepepe]

Monster Hunter is not an MMO, and you cannot say that with a straight face after recommending Labyrinth of Refrain Coven of Dusk on the first post.

I can! The one is a good blobber in jap pyjamas,the other one is typical brain dead monster killing jap game. I see my self as a grognard and wouldn't let that shit in my poll,the same way i didn't put farcry,tomb rider or asscreed. Why don't you just make a JRPG goty poll in the subforum?

 

[Jenkem]

people in this thread getting mad at fantadomat for not including their chosen darling are failing to realize that this won't matter and that the actual "rpgcodex goty" will be decided by Infinitron (see last years voting chicanery which would make even hillary clinton blush)

and with that I'd like to extend an early congratulations to GrabageFire for winning RPGCodex Goty 2018

 

[Mustawd]

By being a PC list that excludes most JRPGs.

*looks at thread title*

*looks at OP*

Umm...wtf do u mean? I don’t see this as a PC exclusive list anywhere. The OP title just says RPG GOTY.

 

[Deleted Member 16721]

Nice to see how smart the posters here are, voting the return of CRPG Christ as GOTY so far (Kingmaker). Blessed are ye who travel the path of the Holy Order of Owlcat. Hoo..hoo...

 

[Somberlain]

Grimwah, after the 2.0 is released next Friday.

 

[DemonKing]

I haven't actually managed to finish any CRPGs this year (playing too much on my PS4 I guess as I had years of Sony exclusives to catch up on), although I've dabbled a bit in Deadfire, Pathfinder & BT4. All of which I've put on hold due to bugginess (Pathfinder/BT4) or waiting for all DLC to drop (Deadfire). Of the three I'd say Deadfire was the best in its current state so I'll go for that.

I would recommend trying out " Labyrinth of Refrain Coven of Dusk",it is a good blobber.

...and it doesn't matter how good a game it is as the anime art style is making my eyes bleed.

You should have waited for the release of ATOM RPG, it's coming this december and looks promising!

Voted for Kingdom Come.

No way it will come this December,it was released on EA just a few days ago.

And yeah,it looks promising.

ATOM RPG was released almost exactly 1 year ago on Early Access. They are planning on full release in December.

 

[Wunderbar]

KC was the only rpg i managed to beat in 2018.

 

[Safav Hamon]

Hero-U is meh. Starts out solid, but begins feeling shallow and repetitive halfway through.

It would have benefitted from being half as long, with the same amount of content.

I'm not even shilling that hard for Deadfire, and it's far more impressive and playable than Kingmaker

 

[Agame]

Definitely PoE II Deadfire.

Todd is disappoint.

How did this guy get the Bethestard, I always see him shilling for POE and other "old school classics"?

 

[Deleted Member 16721]

Hero-U is cool, not bad at all. It actually picks up once you can start exploring dungeons and other areas within the school. Starts a bit slow but worth it, I recommend it.

 

[Oracsbox]

Jesus wept I forgot Skyrim is still dragging its corpse around until this poll reminded me.
What's next year's release Skyrim "Etch a Sketch" edition.

The hell are you talking about? ATOM RPG has been in early-access for a little more than a year now. It's slated to come out either this month, but I'm betting on early 2019.

 

[Sentinel]

I care only for CRPGs

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR
Fallout 76
Call of Cthulhu
Vampyr

 

[karoliner]

Poll is missing Megadimension Neptunia. Also known in some circles as "the saviour of JRPG".
