    Rate Baizuo's Gate 3 from 0 to 10, where 0 is the worst game of your live and 10, the best.

    Just to see how the game is rated by Codex community; To be clear, I'm reviewing BG3 as a unique game, unrelated to BG1/2. I would say that is a bit better than unmodded NWN2 without expansions like the legendary motb but still way worse than kingmaker, nwn1, bg1/2 or any other D&D CRPG...

    Why so many MMOdressing games and so few mmoRPG's?

    What is the main difference between a RPG and a non RPG? The RPG has mechanical and narrative character building. That is why Morrowind is a RPG and TES Redguard isn't. Why Elden ring is but Sekiro isn't. Having a bit of mechanical character building is the bare minimum for a game to be a RPG...

    Ranting about the decline of Vampirism/Vampires in RPG's.

    Vampires are probably the most iconic monters type among undeads. Blood sucking aristocrats ruling mere humans with an iron first. There are lots and lots of interesting tales and stories about vampires, all of them could make a huge RPG. Only the Scholomance background of Dracula can be a...

    Elder Scrolls How would Skyrim have been without the Decline caused by consoles?

    Here is how I think : Attributes will be part of the game. And impact the gameplay way more. Vampires will take sun damage as Daggerfall, Morrowind and late stages on Oblivion Cities will gonna be open like on morrowind hence levitation/mark/recal and other spells would exist You would't be...

    Larian = Decline. OwlCat = Incline.

    Larian was founded in 1996 and only managed to be a huge success after decades of decline. Larian could't compete with most late 90s and earlier 00s developers. Larian's DOS2 is just less awful than modern BioWare/Bugthesda games, but still awful non the less. That said, why Larian = decline...

    Can the genre decline below ArcaniA, Diablo 3 and other GFCM ""rpgs""? What is the next step?

    GFCM = Gear farming, cooldown managing. This self entitled RPG's that has less RPGs than visual novels. They have zero mechanical and narrative character building. Everyone is just a clone. Attributes got degraded into measurements of your gear. Somehow everyone has the same IQ and muscle mass...

    Gothic The WORST thing about the Gothic remake TEASER. Vote

    There are so many awful things to say about the gothic remake teaser. Which one do you think that is the worst? A ) dialog wheels(a thing that even bugthesda saw that is awful) B ) Ultra low lethality combat where you can be bitten in the neck multiple times by a wolf, not as a high lv...

    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...

    Best necromancy/skeletons in RPGs

    D2's necro https://diablo.fandom.com/wiki/Necromancer_(Diablo_II) IMO the games with worst necromancies are DA:I and ESO...The The best necromancyes in games are IMO Might & Magic VIII, Diablo 2 and pathfinder kingmaker, I don't like when games limit you to one or two minions and necromancy is...

    In Progress Decline 17: The Ending Times

    Welcome again, you dirty bastards So, while I wait for my porn download to finish (French 19th century literature is an aquired taste) I'm here to propose another stupid Dominions game. This time with an exceedingly weird if simple ruleset. There will be two teams, but NO DISCIPLES. Hear me...
