RPG Codex's Best cRPGs - DISCUSS THREAD / NOW ACCEPTING REVIEWS

[Sunsetspawn]

Adventure/RPGs like QfG can enter on the list?

yes

 

[Tigranes]

List reminds me I should really finish some of the games I have going so I can vote for them - BaK, QfG & and Darklands in particular, if I can get past that fucked up Darklands combat I still don't understand.

 

[Horus]

So, what changed since the last best crpg list? No memorable games were released since then as far as i remember.

Ah, i see. A point system. And lack of poll probably will make the votes more genuine. Still, i don't know why do you guys love to make lists like these. Especially when we already have useful list like "Must play games" that serves well to our needs.

Our goal is to get Icewind Dale out of the Top 10 Codex RPG's.

I can see Icewind Dale, Arcanum, Baldur's Gate and ToEE all risking their top 10. They are too often just honorable mentions. I can see Morrowing grabbing a pretty good spot, with Wizardries in general going up.

Glorious Codexia, a new year dawns, and with it another "Best cRPGs Ever" list.

To solve some of the issues from the previous year's Best RPGs list becoming a popularity list, we decided to adopt a point-based voting system:

Each person has 25 points to distribute between what they think are the best RPGs ever. You have to spend at least 1 point per game, and at most 5 points on each game, so you can vote anything from 5 to 25 games, weighting how great you think they are. This is the RPG Codex, so I trust that I don't have to make a tutorial on such basic point-based system. Please.

Excellent idea, Jaesun should consider retro-voting his master list using this points system.

I think it gives a lot more information to the reader as to just how excellent, or mediocre, a specific game is.

5 Borderlands 2
5 Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep
5 Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty
5 Crusader Kings 2
5 Dungeon Master

Such a shit list...2 DLCs and the HUUUUGE decline that was BL2 from BL? Bleh. I agree about Dungeon Master though.

 

[sser]

I replaced ToEE with its clear successor in OO&M.

 

[Excommunicator]

I genuinely hate these threads

 

[Xor]

What we need is a vote for the top 10 rpgcodex best rpg lists.

A lot of my considerations can't be voted for per the rules and even those that can be voted for would be a waste because of how niche they are.

Now the decision is whether to abstain from voting or help push Alpha Protocol into the top ten.

Decisions, decisions...

Play the hipster card, put some fake "old" games in there, and see who else votes for them.

 

[Jaesun]

Yeah. It will only be in the top if A LOT of people vote for it, so that alone validates it.

Also, thank you AN4RCHID, for posting a retarded meme only a few seconds after I opened the VOTE ONLY thread...

Vote for the niche gems and others may "remember" them as well.

* Okay games but I never complete them, with many defiencies. Yes, that fucking include BG1. Never complete the main game but the expansion finished plenty of times.

** Great games, replayed many times. Never completed.

A few changes from the old vote in top 50. Still, it's more like top 23 with F1 and BG1 I would like to delete. since top 23 sound silly, I leave it at 25 with 1 point each. Terrible system.

No this is a very vedy bad system. Keep to the old method of top 50, please.

 

[Lady_Error]

How is it bad, if you can vote just like last time (if you want) and others who want to weigh their votes can do so as well.

 

[Haba]

Instead of rehashing the same useless god damn lists year after year, couldn't you fucks do something useful for once?

All the previous popularity contests have already proven that most dumbfucks have not even played a real cRPG before, otherwise the list wouldn't be so full of 2000's shit.

 

[Berekän]

We're a stubborn bunch, aren't we? Holding this same poll year after year even when nothing of note has been released. The only purpose this has right now is to cry about the decline of newfags, and the top 5 list is going to be pretty much unchanged. I think it would be better if we didn't do this yearly and only after a few years and/or a notable release.

 

[laclongquan]

A few profilic games get mentioned by most voters, from 1 point to 5 point.

Most of the interesting get too few mentioned, and get at most 2 points.

Hence the final list wont get any difference from others before.

And there's no change, compared to the old method of top 50. Because most profilic games get very strong and weighted votes from casuals. While the top 50 method get you 1 point each game each voter, and there will be astonishing changes over the years, as proved by the best crpg awards just out, compared to the previous years' lists.

Bad system.

- Your vote be ignored if you can't do basic math

Btw where's the thread from last year so I can copy over my votes?

 

[funkadelik]

My votes are all for late 90s and early 2000s games precisely because of the fact I am in my early-mid twenties.

Lousy excuse, bro. I played most of the DOS games I've come to love around mid-2000s.

I've played them too. Still like the original ones I played the most.

 

[Jaesun]

No matter what happens, it will always be:

Fallout
Planescape Torment
Arcanum (Though this could fall off the list *GASP*)

as the top 3.

 

[Excidium]

Arcanum doesn't belong anywhere near a top 3, but I think it'll still be there.
