Codex's true top game

[overly excitable young man]

Fallout 1, wins with a dick of an ant. Close second is PST obviously.

And so the divide between combatfags and storyfags was born.

Fallout has AMAZING combat! I always come back for the combat in Fallout!

Fallout has shit combat and anyone who plays it for anything other then its writing, immersion and reactivity is an idiot, fight me.

This was meant to be a hyperbole but when i reread the codex Top 10 Fallout 1/2 are together with Gothic 2 easily the games with the best combat.
Even when in reality their combat is at max mediocre.

 

[Darth Canoli]

1. Wizardry 8
2. Fallout
3. Isles of Terra
4. Mandate of Heaven

 

[Ghulgothas]

Deus Ex!

If only because no one gives a shit about System Shock 2 anymore.

 

[Kalin]

Planetescape: Tournament

 

[Jvegi]

Those are all good games, but Gothic 2 is obviously the best one among them.

 

[Darth Canoli]

By the way, there's only one Gothic, only one BG (and not the best one) but both Fallout, Is it a trick to split Fallout votes ?

It certainly looks like it...

 

[overly excitable young man]

When you vote for Fallout 2 on this poll you are a traitor anyway.
Everything should be done to stop PST from being numero uno yet again.

 

[Grauken]

PST, naturally.

I did my duty and voted the same

 

[overly excitable young man]

Storyfaggotry and communism.
Name a more iconic duo. smh

 

[NJClaw]

PST, naturally.

I did my duty and voted the same

Finally we have a proper way to find out which users are real role-playing RPG games connoisseurs.

 

[waken]

I would say it has mediocre combat, but yeah, the writing, immersion and C&C is why I play it.

Same, but if we're comparing PST and FO, there's no debate about which has the best combat.

What is the best combatfag RPG though? Not one in the poll would qualify. TOEE? KOTC?

 

[Maculo]

Planescape Torment. A good-path playthrough cheers me up without fail. There are so many high moments in PST, and I can think of few games that elicit that same degree of emotion/response for me.

 

[Grauken]

Storyfaggotry and communism.
Name a more iconic duo. smh

Furries and centrism

 

[overly excitable young man]

1. I'm not a furry.
2. That isn't even true. Furries are extremists.

Where the fuck is Prelude to Darkness?

Indeed. If there ever was a game that embodies Codex, it's PTD. Chaotic, unique, weird - and ultimately prestigious.

 

[pomenitul]

BG2, of course. No other game has brought me as much joy, except perhaps BG1.

Indeed. If there ever was a game that embodies Codex, it's PTD. Chaotic, unique, weird - and ultimately prestigious.

And almost unplayble due to bugs... just as Codex then?

I vote Jagged Alliance 2.
If i had to vote from the list of decline that is Codex' top 10 i'd go with one of the Fallouts. Probably the 2nd one.

 

[AArmanFV]

But what IS an RPG?

A miserable little pile of secrets.

What were the bugs that made it unplayable? I've got a few crashes, but other than that it was fine.

 

[vazha]

I'd not go as far as to say it has "a few crashes", esp on newer systems, but its still so worth your time, countless reloads or not. A gentleman's rpg, that one.

P.s. That mad inventor quest right at the beginning of the game - I'll be damned if it doesnt blow any bioware & troika & younameit game's every quest out of water. So delightfully self-deprecating.

 

[asfasdf]

I don't see gothic 1 or betrayal at krondor

Nothing made it unplayable. I wrote "almost unplayable". And yes i meant the crashes but saying that those crashes are "few" sounds like a joke to me. However it's possible that it varies significantly from person to person and that you were more lucky. Or more persistent. Glad that you were able to enjoy it but that can't be said about everyone.

codexers don't even know what true top games should look like

 

[Kruno]

The character building in PS:T puts it above the rest. I actually wanted to know more about the NPCs in that game.
