My prediction is that either BG3 or JA3 win. And what propels the winner to overcome the pre-release hatred it receives for being a current day, inferior installment of an old, beloved series is the possibility of something like Diablo IV winning.

There is not one video in which you don't burp.

The only reason people aren't voting Diablo 4 is too spite me. If somebody else made the poll it surely would have the most votes.
I still say we should make an MTV-style show with SDG, Hando, Crispy, Maxie, and Liberal all living in the same small house for a few months.
I wouldn't live in the same house as Hando if you paid me a billion dollars. Are you aware of the creepy weirdo shit that mother fucker gets up to?

Since Codex GotY is limited to RPGs games identifying as RPGs, this thread belongs in the general RPG forum.
I went through all Codex GOTY votes + the cRPG book for cataloguing RPGs and the amount of cuts I had to make was ridiculous. I'm someone with a relatively liberal view on what constitutes an RPG (50%+ of the game has RPG mechanics = RPG) and yet I have to cut half of the lists. It's even more disappointing for something called the cRPG book to add things that just don't belong no matter how you try to twist it.

I've read almost the entirety of the cRPG book and most Codex GOTY results in their entirety. The list of games that have absolutely no argument for being considered one would take up the entire page.
Before you can make an argument about whether a game is an RPG or not, you first have to define what is an RPG.
It's a time-honored tradition on the codex, so, have you made a thread yet detailing what you think is an RPG?

The vast majority of those discussions include games that at least have arguments for/merit being considered RPGs. My list of games from Codex GOTY/cRPG book that don't belong can only be considered RPGs under the "you play a role" argument which includes almost every game ever released.

I doubt you'd consider 150+ entries in the crpg book as non-rpgs. Sure there are some blatant examples of such, but those are quite a minor fraction. Without an explicit list, it's empty words, or just a newfag trying to blend in.

Up to the early 2000s it's solid. But after that, especially after ~2005, it gets iffy. I read every entry and added all of them to the List of RPGs thread. 150+ is a stretch (my ~50%+ comment was exaggeration and mostly in relation to the Codex GOTY), but there's still a sizable minority that shouldn't have made it in and I'm not sure why (other than padding stats). There was one that even bordered on Loli. I'm willing to go through and make a list if anyone here is actually willing to discuss this instead of attacking a join date. It shouldn't take long, I just need to go through the games I skipped over making an entry for.

Codex GOTY lists are a different story altogether that would take way too long to list out.

Absolutely, people love arguing over the RPG merits of games here, as long as you have solid arguments
