Underrail 5, but undertail a perfect 10?

I would pay money to have you banned from this forum!

Duly noted.

Voted in Felipepepe's poll too, of course, but thanks for this poll nevertheless. Be interesting to see the difference in results.
Also, screw you for labeling 10 with Perfect, should be labeled as GOTY or something; which is how I choose to interpret it. There is no perfect game and there never will be.

*: Too long to spell.
**: Not worth spelling.
***: Didn't vote on WL2-DC. Not playing it because the original release sucked too much. Still feel I should downvote it because of that. If it wasn't ready they shouldn't have released it until it was. Don't care about the Director's cut if said director is a fuckwit who completely ruins the experience and then releases the actual game he apparently wanted to make a year later. Fuck that.
****: Managed to resist the urge to rate F4 1. Didn't play it but that doesn't mean it can't feel like an insult.

Oh and PS: Did really no one else here play Avernum? Weird...

lol that is popularity contest. not GOTY

If 100 people played DA:I and gave it 1 (essentially shit)
and 20 people played AoD and gave it 3 (garbage)

DA:I will win because simply more people played it.

I am kind of amazed that people with probably basic school can't even predict it.

Are you talking about this poll? Did you read the OP?

8. Starting this thread was an impulse decision therefore I don't have a clearly defined ranking criteria however I'm pretty sure I will use the bayesian average in the end.

 

[darthaegis]

I'm not a math-guru, but Bayesian average kinda takes care of that problem IIRC.

yeah my bad you are right. I thought that he would add number together instead of using 1/10 scale.

[Irenaeus III]

Only played these RPGs from 2015:
Age of Decadence: 10
Pillars of Eternity: 10
Antharion: 6

Didn't play but here is my score anyway:
Undertale: 1
Twitcher 3: 1
Fall Out 4: 1

Yes, I plan to play the other good ones from 2015, such as Underrail, in the future. Reprises from 2014 should be excluded from the list, I'm looking at you D:OS and W2.

 

[Roqua]

I salute you taking initiative but the issue is categories. I'm not voting for a game like AoD and Underrail and WL2 when people are voting for whatever the fuck Undertail is, Jrpgs, console games, monkey shit, and strategy games, and blatant non-rpgs.

My advice is have this break down of catagories -

CRPG
Console non-jrpg semi-rpg (any "rpg" developed primarily with console in mind as demonstrated by the UI (instead of a real GUI), such as Witcher 3, Fallout 3, and that fake D&D game, Metal Gear, Zelda, Rainbow Six, visual novels, child porn, Dragon Fin Soup, whatever you fucking idiots now consider to be rpgs)
Jrpg (any system)
Strategy game with rpg elements (any system, for games like Legends of Eisenwalds, since rpg games don't rape you and take all your people and shit all the time for no reason and the bullets don't tell you this so you buy it thinking its an rpg but rpgs don't rape you, also whatever else came out like HoMM, which are not even close to rpgs but this site allows posts about them in the rpg forum and move my rpg posts to other forums. And fuck you whoever does that by the way).

Maybe categories? Arpg, tower defense game with rpg elements, card game with rpg elements, survival game with rpg elements, and action game with rpg elements (any system?)

In a perfect world no votes would be allowed for weird shit like tower defense games and card game and all the non-rpg shit you monkeys like, but I'm sure the fans of these weird things will have a hissy fit or just vote for them and have their votes counted anyways.

I say us normals band together and go on strike until this site has sensible catagories for voting where people with taste and refinement don't have to vote with the monkey savage console fans or weird shit child molester fans. We can affect change like the UofM students and we can get people fired and shit. GO COLLEGE KIDS AND THEIR VAST KNOWLEDGE AND NON-CONTRADICTORY STANCES!!!!!!

Well, I'm sorry to say this but this is impossible with the current voting system because this system is intended to measure the overall best games/RPGs of 2015.

If you want to vote by genre/categories then you have to split the games on categories and vote based on that (how well the game implements a specific sub-genre mechanics). In the end you will get the best game for a specific genre/categories but you will not be able to have a top 10 best RPGs.

I'm sorry but the ball is already rolling and I will not change the rules for this.

What I can do is this: after the voting is done, I can group games by categories/genres and provide a ranking for each subgenre. That's the best I can do.

You are not going to get the top 1- best rpgs this way as you allow for games that are blatant non-rpgs. This would be fine if the site wasn't called rpgcodex, but it is.

 

[Calcium]

Wasn't Roshan's poll enough anyway?

D:OS EE: 2
Wasteland 2 DC: 2

The last two, because for me they are LITERALLY unplayable: I can't run them on my 32bit OS. I can install 64bit, but it requires more RAM to work well.

In this case I'm wondering why you're rating them at all. And why did you give them 2s instead of 1s or 0s?

 

[Shaewaroz]

PoE: 5
AoD: 6
Underrail: 9
Antharion: 7
Dex: 8

Other games I didn't play long enough to form adequate opinions.

 

[Blackmill]

Age of Decadence: 8
Underrail: 7

Note: Ratings are relative to what I consider an ideal RPG.

 

[Kalasanty11]

In this case I'm wondering why you're rating them at all.

Because I was pissed off. I bought these games in the first place because I expected oldschool goodness that would actually run on my computer. And normal editions had indeed run, only enhanced ones are not working.

And why did you give them 2s instead of 1s or 0s?

2: UNPLAYABLE MESS

I focused on "unplayable" Besides, I never give highest or lowest scores.
