Nice bait.

North America isn't finished:
- Outer Worlds will be chock-full of SJW bullshit, but it should be a respectable RPG beyond that.
- Maybe DA: IV will be good? Surely Bioware will take this one seriously...
- Bethesda's recent trajectory and predictions for the future: Fallout 4 in 2015 (refuse to release sales figures because people hated it) > take the hate into account and begin working on Starfield > triple the number of employees and release 76 as a cash grab to fund their real projects (a tactic they have openly admitted to using since the 80's) > wait until 2019 or 2020 to release Starfield, both to introduce a new IP they have wanted to make for a long time, and to test new tech for the flagship > three years later, release TES VI that fully incorporates Daggerfall's ambition with Todd's vision of narrative
- Rumblings of Fable's triumphant return.
- Okay, so I'm grasping at straws, but no more than you are.

As for eastern Europe:
- Risen is good. The others are utter trash. The krauts haven't made a good game since 2009.
- Kingdom Come is boring, clunky garbage for autists. It's basically a tech demo.
- Kingmaker is gay and so are you.
- Underrail is alright. I think people want to like it very badly, and so they pretend it's better than it is.
- CDPR is the real deal.

So in other words, western RPGs are at a crossroads where they will either continue the decline or find salvation. The emergence of CDPR is significant. The emergence of other eastern European developers is a figment of your imagination.

In the beginning CD Projekt was just a publisher on the Polish market, famous for great localizations of games such as Baldur's Gate. Then they spread their wings and became a holding.

CD Projekt Red was created with the aim of producing games, while CD Projekt Investment was formed for business ventures. In 2007 CDPR published Witcher 1, a year later CDPI launched GOG.

Hard to say which branch is more profitable. Propably in 2015 it was CDPR, in other years, GOG.

Very informative. I had no idea that CDP had anything to do with GOG. These guys are the shit.

Yea right

Risen is good, but the "others", presumably including Gothic 1&2, are "utter trash"? Fuck off.

- Kingdom Come is boring, clunky garbage for autists. It's basically a tech demo.
Ha, someone can't accept their beloved hiking simulators getting one-upped by an indie-developer.

- Underrail is alright. I think people want to like it very badly, and so they pretend it's better than it is.
Oh please, don't project your feelings towards Bethshitda's products onto Codexers. Except, Bethshitda's products aren't even alright.

Overall, a :0/5: attempt. I was wrong to put my money into you, thinking you'll a masterful troll shitposter. Maybe try better next time,

The hiking simulator does have very pretty trees though.

Okay, this is epic.

:5/5: burn. I'll remember to emulate it precisely next time around. But at least I have your money.

Then maybe you should've specified it like, "Gothic 1&2 and Risen are good" and/or "the others since then are utter trash", you fucking retard.

Even then, ELEX! is arguably an honest and generally welcomed attempt to return to their roots, even though it doesn't hold a candle to Gothic 1&2.

Also, Gothic 2 is from 2002, and if you specified 'since 2009'..... are you implying Gothic 3 is 'not utter trash'? :lol:

Still runs and plays better than anything made in Shitbryo 2.0 :smug:

Kwanzaa continues to impress.

Germany is in eastern Europe.
Games like Blackguards don't exist.

Next dragon age will be good.
Fable returns triumphantly.
By getting rid of the developers who once made certain companies great and hiring niggers, curryniggers and bluehaired libtard feminazies instead the expected quality of future games will only increase.

CDPR went into decline hard on their second and third game. Corporate greed, catering to console tards, and all that.

Serious question:

Are there any decent pc games that have been developed in the last decade?

To understand what I would consider decent I'll give a list of my all time favorite pc games I've played so far:

Jagged Alliance 2
Age of Empires
Combat Flight Simulator 4

Honorable mentions:
Fallout
Diablo
Myth 2
Lords of the Realm
Nocturne

I might be forgetting a few.

I played it. I like the original better.

The graphics are cooler in 2 but I don't like the zoomed in view (avatars taking up far more map space) and a few other gameplay things.
