Review Dishonored: A Taffing Codexian Review

[Excidium]

As usual, Codex cannot into nuance.

Just because something is a sneaker game with many approaches doesn't make it an honorary fucking rpg YOU LARPER STORYFAG CUNTS HOPE YOU LIKE YER C&C UP YOUR ARSES FFSSADFAHSGFAGGHJADG

No, Thief-like games are obviously not RPGs, but they do seem to have attained "honorary RPG" status (notice the quotes) in terms of the prestige and admiration they get from typical RPG fans.

The Monkey Island games, among others, are also p. good honorary rpgs then.

Arguably, yes. Adventure games are also quite popular here and there have been news posts about them also. But I don't think they possess quite as many features that appeal to RPG fans as Thief-likes do.

Answer me this.

If this is a site for hardcore RPG fans, and there are other genres besides RPGs that RPG fans tend to enjoy more often that not, then why should those genres not be given some (small) amount of coverage?

Is this a site for the genre or for the fans?

 

[Captain Shrek]

I think this retardation is going too far.

You are usually a bro. Stop posting and everything will be forgiven dude. Thief is NOT an honorary RPG no matter how you cut it. It is a great game, possibly the best ever made and ever will be made. But not an RPG.

I don't know, when I saw a link to the RPG CODEX on NMA many springs ago I had the impression it was a place that was all about RPGs. Sure, we can discuss other things here but the coverage should be all about RPGs.

Not an RPG.

Not an honorary RPG.

Possessing "honorary RPG" status.

You know how some folks in certain multi-ethnic countries consider Asians to be "model minority" and "honorary white"? Same thing.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Infinitron is horrible at expressing it, but his point is that RPG fans seem to like these kinds of games as well so covering them at Arpeegee Codex isn't such a bad thing.

edit: make that "fucking horrible"

you're getting theological there, old chap

soon we shall discuss the nature of the Logos








(but only after we've covered some more honorary rpg status reviews of acshun, adventure and shooter games)

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

Next up: desperate apologists.

Desperate? Who's desperate? And desperate for what? It's a good game. Not great, but good for what it is like the review says. Not really a big deal.

Why does Tacticular Cancer exist, then? All RPG fans like strategy games. Therefore strategy games are honorary RPGs or whatever the fuck so let's cover them here.

 

[suejak]

I liked the part where he called Asians white.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

why don't we review thief?

I don't know. Go for it. I might read it. I tend to enjoy Codexian reviews.

Well, I would say that Tacticular Cancer covers ALL strategy games, while RPGCodex, if it covers adventure games or Thief-like games, should do so only very sparingly, and probably only for titles that have some tangential relation to RPGs.

For example, in this case, Arkane made a unique RPG in the past and thus have "earned the right" to have their game featured here.

If this counts as an RPG, then what about Mark of the Ninja?

Get your nomenclature straight it's honorary RPG status

Damn, you guys are easy to troll

It is 2D, so according to the average codexer it is more of an RPG than Dishonored. But it's on consoles so it's popamole.

Backpedaling.

Honorary or not, as of now MotN fulfills all the prerequisites.

Just like Dishonoured...

 

[l3loodAngel]

Retarded raving lunatics. Did someone force you to read or to comment on Dishnored?

 

[Darth Roxor]

Honorary or not, it MotN fulfills are the prerequisites.

Bro, I know. And don't forget it has even more RPG elements such as different ninja suits - you can roleplay a different person with a different story each time you use them.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

The Codex eats up shit to bitch about like Unicron eats up mothafuckin' planets.

But the staff doesn't like your game so it won't be covered.

Nah, it isn't that great. It's much better than Dishonoured, methinks.
