Codex GOTY 2020 (Not the official Codex GOTY)

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Wasteland 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 are close contenders for GOTY for me

Stopped reading at this.

You could've just checked who's posting.

 

[Ol' Willy]

Lol at people who play games the year they were released.

 

[DalekFlay]

This is probably the shittiest year in gaming i have ever experienced, and i have been a gamer since 1989. And i think next year is going to be worse, really

No year with new Hitman levels can be the worst ever, so 2020 and 2021 already safe.

Hitman games are shit games who pretend they are better because they have the argument that doing the same objectives over and over again is fun (but hey you can do it with a different method so enjoy your game with one map and 50+ dlcs for each other map). When in reality it's the exact opposite, game is poor, with little things to do. "lol I can kill this person with a knife while he is unconscious whereas last time I killed him with a pistol, 10/10 quality gameplay". Hitman games are trash, overrated garbages.
Hey hey hey CONsumer, would you enjoy the new DLC which cost 10$ for ONE fucking MAP, just ONE?
or Maybe you enjoy that clothe for only 8$?
or maybe this pistol which is include in this new DLC we released for 9$?
Someone who endorses a game with this bussiness model is stupid.

Agree with this, but hey, this is the Codex, overhyped pretentious garbage are the codexers' specialty.

Shouldn't CyberPunk be winning then?

 

[TemplarGR]

No because it is too mainstream. If it had failed in sales, then sure. Codexers hate enjoying games that sold much.

 

[Darth Canoli]

I dunno, 2011 was pretty awful. A lot of games which flattered to decieve.

Dragon Age 2, Rage, Duke Nukem Forever, Skyrim, LA Noir, Dead Space 2, Bulletstorm etc.

Loads of hyped games which were supposedly good, but actually terrible. DA:2 & Skyrim laughably so.

You are trying too hard to convince us you are a moron.

Or is it not the other way around ?
Like most active and monocled codexers like deep games and don't care about mui 3D graphics with the latest effect needing a 500GB graphic card, exactly the kind of games that don't sell millions of copies.

How do you do to get it backwards 80% of the time?
How many times did you have to repeat this crap over and over again before you started to believe it?

Ol' Wily: I hate good graphics! Graphics are totally meaningless! I'll do whatever I can to make my games look like shit because I don't care!

Also Ol' Wily: Fucking animu graphics? What is with this weeb trash?!

How come you don't understand the difference between pedophile art-style and 30000000000 x 30000000000 VR HD graphics in 900000000000000000 billions of billions colours?

This is so false. The Cyberpunk release thread has like 300 pages in 15 days, lol. "Codexers don't care about 3D graphics and want deep games". *I* get stuff wrong 80% of the time? Get out of here....

Seriously, most of those were good games, or at least decent. Skyrim was a masterpiece and Dragon Age 2 was a great CRPG in terms of story and characters, plus nice graphics and voice acting. 2011 was one of the best years in gaming, comparable to 1998.

You believe a lot of things.

Like the fact "most of those were good games"

It's scary.

So what?
Desiderius wrote half the messages in PK's threads, 5/6 retards can write 400 pages in no time.

Also, I'd bet my left nut it's the general gaming crowd because, surprise, cyberpunk isn't a RPG...

 

[fantadomat]

Hmmm it seems that the year was shit but the poll is not. Pretty interesting race between cybercuck,wastetime3 and weird korean game. At least the codex still have some people that actually like rpgs and voted for dungeon of frenchthings.

Also LoL when the only admin of the site that still plays RPGs and votes for them is Infi buahahahaha. DU and Cryspo bitched out with non of the above,haven't seen WhiskeyWolf or Scruffy ,so i don't know about them.

The level design in nuHitman 2 completely shits on your favorite stealth game though

 

[DalekFlay]

Someone who endorses a game with this bussiness model is stupid.

All of those Hitman levels are large, beautifully designed murder playgrounds and are absolutely worth $10 a piece. Hitman 2 and 3 were sold all at once so even if you're butthurt about the episodic model it doesn't apply anymore anyway (though it was perfect for these games). Though obviously yes, if you're a person who doesn't enjoy the gameplay it's built on... finding new and interesting ways to kill the targets... then it won't be worth it to you. Wait for a good sale and get it for a one time 8 hour or so playthrough, $10-20 is worth it for that.

Also turn off the guidance shit, ruins the whole point of the game.

Also Ol' Wily: Fucking animu graphics? What is with this weeb trash?!

Yet another shit for brains who doesn't know the difference between "graphic fidelity" and "graphic (art) design". I don't care how detailed and "realistic" the graphics are - ray tracing, reflections, the number of polygons, texture size and other shit are completely meaningless to me.

Art design, on the other hand, is always important and plays an important role in the overall quality of the game. I like good art design. I don't like animu weeb trash that could only be conceived in a sick, deranged brain of yellow skinned, slanty eyed Nipponese inbred.

I agree, man. This for example is so much better than weeb trash:

Look at that deep, superior western art, man. No weeb shit can match it.

You do know that the anime art style was inspired by Betty Boop right? It's basically western in it's roots.

 

[Ol' Willy]

No, I didn't know that. I know that Nips stole everything they have - even their alphabet is stolen from Chinese - but even animu? Well, I guess it wasn't this deranged without them.

At least they are good at stealing shit and presenting it as their own .

I wanted dandylion to drop by...

First of all, we're so happy to hear the news that you told me.

We've read all the articles you gave us on the link.

It is a great honor for us that players are interested in our games.
Furthermore, we're just really grateful that they like our game despite we can't provide a good quality translation because of our dev's poor budget.

We'll do our best to stabilize the development team's finances as soon as possible, and to provide a better game!

Thank you for giving us the chance to continue developing this game!!

Thank you!! Happy New Year!!

I hope they weren't put off by certain edgy skyrim lovers and thats why they just replied by e-mail instead of being here

Wasteland 3 took the lead.

STOP THE COUNT.

[Peachcurl]

My neighbors dead cat is listed as having voted for Wasteland 3.

 

[Ezeekiel]

I voted for Yakuza, though Troubleshooter and to some degree WL3 (distant third) also deserve a mention. Have not yet played Dungeons of Nawhatever, which appears to be good.

Wish we could vote for multiple games, or have some sort of 3 points, 2 points, 1 point -type voting system.


Not the worst year for RPG's, tbh... Especially given the last one and a half decades.
