    I forgot - thank goodness AoD was released so Codex can cover himself with it while secretly being busy wandering around the Todd's wastelands.

    Well, the game I liked most this year is Serpents in the Staglands. I don't think it's exactly "game of the year" material, but it deserves a honorable mention.

    Fallout 4 deserves the "best at trolling codex" award, though.

    Sure you don't mean PoE?

    And if AoD isn't game of the year, fuck y'all. The Codex will have scaled to the level of a consoletard.

    I can understand why people had hopes for PoE, and it isn't a really bad game, just mediocre; I wouldn't call that trolling, just simple disappointment. Fallout 4 on the other hand - there was no chance this game was not going to be bad, and yet consider the sheer number of posts from people playing it, just to post here how... terrible it is.

    EDIT: It's like Fallout 4 is the classic hook, line and sinker. Urban dictionary has a nice example:
    when someone is picking up chicks with some crappy pickup line (ex: is there a mirror in your pocket? cause i can see myself in your pants) and having the girl believe it.
    It's like codex went on that date, only to find out that a guy that uses terrible pick up lines is plain shit and now is bitching about it. I can't help but be amused.

    Put Fallout4 on Codex top 10. Probably the game of the year and best RPR ever made by mankind! :happytrollboy:

    Since Underrail and Torment won't be this year, AoE kind of takes the cake for best RPG.

    Lol @ people mentioning twitcher 3 shit. Open world fantasy game with light rpg elements? Sure

    But a pure rpg like AoD? Please.

    No need for any poll:
    Age of Decadence GOTY.
    Honorary mention for Serpent in the Staglands.
    Ban anyone who disagree.

    Both DF and DF:smileyC were released the same year. Not the case with W2 and DOS director cuts.
    Besides, they don't stand a chance against Fallout 4 so the discussion is moot!

    If anything, Fallout 4 is a PGR.

    (for the vast majority of you folks that won't get it: PGR = Państwowe Gospodarstwo Rolne = collective farming during ye olde goode times in Poland)

    We need to compile a full list of 2015 RPGs (including ports and enhanced editions) first. Otherwise people might forget about less high-profile titles that aren't F4 or AoD.

    AntharioN
    Avernum II: Crystal Souls
    Blackguards 2
    BloodLust Shadowhunter
    Card Hunter
    Celestial Tear: Demon's Revenge
    Chroma Squad
    Crypt of the NecroDancer

    Guild of Dungeoneering
    Hand of Fate
    Hard West
    Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 (and 2 & 3)
    ICY
    Invisible, Inc.
    Kyn
    Legend of Heroes: Trail in the Sky SC
    Legends of Eisenwald
    Life is Feudal: Your Own
    Mordheim: City of the Damned
    Mugen Souls
    Pillars of Eternity
    Sanctuary RPG: Black Edition
    Serpent in the Staglands
    Shadowrun: Hong Kong
    Sunless Sea
    Sword Coast Legends
    Tales of Zestiria
    Telepath Tactics
    Templar Battleforce
    The Amber Throne
    The Dwarf Run
    The Fall of Dungeon Guardians
    The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing - Final Cut
    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
    Toukiden: Kiwami
    Undertale
    Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry

    At least the "decent" ones. Steam lists +500 RPGs released this year, but half of those are RPG Maker crap, iOS ports, PC re-releases or stuff like GTA V.

    StarCrawlers and Battle Brothers (and maybe some others) are Early Access, though. I don't think we should include EA stuff until it's released.

    Yeah, my mistake. Games are already appearing twice due to Enchanced Editions & Director's Cuts, no need to include EA as well....

    Based on discussions on the Codex(games we talked about, not quality), you can add Dex, The Dwarf Run, Voidspire Tactics, The Fall of Dungeon Guardians, Vendetta : Curse of raven's cry, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing - Part III, Kyn.

    For different reasons I don't know if Dragon Fin Soup, chroma Squad, Labyrinth of Touhou 2(2014), ICY, Transistor(2014) should be added.
