  1. Diablo genre is decline

    Yeah I mean it. Hack&slash games are games with every codes of the decline. In Hack&Slash and diablo games: -quests are mostly FedEx with no choice (only Grim Dawn is different)and consist in killing things and recolting an item in a dungeon/grotto/place full of monster. All H&S have WoW quest...

    Game journalists CRAP reviews.

    I've searched but found no thread to discuss only the dumb reviews of game journalists about many games. So, here is a thread where we can laugh about they. To start, the most iconic "i can't kill a bug swarm with a axe, 0/10" Path of Exile - IGN review Nintendo World Report TV Review of...

    Dragon Age I just finished Dragon Age Origins and some parts of it werent awfull

    For a bit of context, if you cruise the more shallow waters of RPG discussions you will see DAO being lauded as the last good hardcore rpg before the decline. The obsession with this game goes so far that it is sacrosanct on more casual sites and insulting it draws a reaction akin to insulting a...

    Why end 80s/earlier 90s JRPG's so different than modern ones?

    Take final fantasy 1 for eg > Full party creation, if you wanna have 4 thieves you can. Classes for the typical fantasy archetypes(Black Mage, Thieves, Warriors, White Mages, etc) Promotion quests Random/Dice based stat and hp progression Spell slots and "tier based" magical progression where...

    Why are RPG gamers more tolerant with bullshit mechanics?

    EDIT : PLEASE. READ THE SECOND PARAGRAPH. This is not a topic only about cooldowns. The new Contra rogue corps had the """"genial"""" idea of implementing cooldowns of firearms and everyone is hating it. Mocking it. Saying that is a artificial limitation that makes no sense only to force the...

    Homogenization(Balance) is NOT more important than immersion, variety and satisfying development

    By the love of Adanos. All masterpieces among the RPG genre are extremely unbalanced. Baldur's Gate 2? Can be soloed with certain builds and is extremely hard in another. Diablo 1 and 2? Some builds can beat the game naked where others rely a lot of gear. Might & Magic VI? Your party composition...

    Decline Worst travesties in the genre?

    Oblivion - the beginning of consolification and dumbification Fallout 3 - one of the worst travesties in the RPG genre Fallout 4 - same shit but more logarithmic (even worse) Skyrim - travesty to gaming in general, a half-broken unplayable mess Pillars - made some critical errors, but in...

    Crispy™ Inferior versions of games that you still find amazing

    Inb4 begone boomer. Fuck off "fellow" boomers, I'm too young for this monster zero ultra shit. Most games are destined to be the best to be played on PC or more modern console. But some games released on a console or inferior at the times PC configs seemingly so weak you still amazed by how did...

    Drop the RPG- and become "the Codex"

    No point in being called "RPG Codex" when you cover popamoles. Amazing that that cluster of cucks called the Watch not only aggregates news properly but does so in a way far more respectful to the integrity of the genre.

    The Worst Raped Game Franchise of All Time (Poll)

    Which game series has has experienced the most dramatic fall from grace? Where is the stench of Decline the most foul? Where the anus has been so brutally violated that you can't help but look away in disgust and disbelief? A poll added since lately we haven't had nearly enough of them. Only 1...

    Decline Apparently the Isozone is no more

    I guess we have nintendo to thank for this too. Fortunately it seems like they are already migrating to another website called the retro zone. In the meantime one can easily find ancient dos and windows games on the oldgameru and the archive.org websites.

    Guilty Pleasure RPGs?

    Know you all like to think you have irreproachable and rarefied tastes, but let's be honest, beneath that veneer of prestige you harbor a secret love for an absolute stinker (at least I hope you do, otherwise this is going to be embarrassing for me). So let's hear it. Also feel free to try and...

    Hasbro CEO wants to make D&D esports franchise

    Brian Goldner, douchebag CEO of Hasbro, was on the idiot box the other day and he talked about turning his Wizards of the Coast properties into games suitable for esports. Trigger the codex with a statement: “He added that Hasbro's goal over time will be to build fantasy games like these into...

    DarkUnderlord Why is Gaming Drama subforum for "privileged" users only? What's the point? I know it's pointless to ask Inflamatron since he's the one who tries to fix things that aren't broken. The same goes for moving threads like these to Retardo Land...

    Decline What is the worst RPG of all time?

    With so many threads about the best RPGs out there, you would think there would have to be one on the worst RPGs; however, there hasn't been one as far as I've noticed; so I've decided to fill the gap in the market. Feel free to discuss what method you think is appropriate for choosing one as well.

    Edginess vs. fanboyism - Which is more beneficial, and for whom?

    Subject A is a dedicated fanboy. He is always optimistic, has low-standards and even lower expectations. As such, he is very difficult to shock and very easy to please. Most games are just fine according to him, and any gripes he might have are of cosmetic preference, or some other irrelevant...
