When I saw the title of this thread, for a few seconds I thought it was referring to the Codex's Game of the Year poll. Be still my heart.

As for the Academy:

This is why modern gaming 'art' and 'design' sucks, with such 'visionaries'.


Odd though that despite FO4 making trillions I totally forgot about it even existing, unlike with Oblivion, Skyrim and FO3 where you were bombarded with references and propaganda at every turn.

Very cute, Zed.

Just go back to taking your daily dose of Percoset and all will be well.

 

[you know what time it is]

 

[Xzylvador]

No wonder the voting's conducted in secret.



Edit/add: Also, OP's title is fucking retarded. Before you know it, someone could quote "'Best game of 2015' - RPG Codex" and not be lying. Even the watch will appear to have better taste.

 

[vean]

It's clear to anyone with a brain and a heart that Undertale was the best game of 2015

 

[CptMace]

Can I have a medal too ?

 

[FeelTheRads]

So who are these experts?

 

[Zorba the Hutt]

Bloodborne
Winner: Fallout 4
Pillars of Eternity
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Undertale

Hesitant to mock them too much before seeing the Codex awards

 

[Arthandas]

First Rise of The Tomb Raider wins the writing award and now Fallout 4 wins the best game/rpg title?

Are... are we in some kind of experiment? Should I search my neighborhood for Aperture Science logos?

It's like they voted specifically to be controversial. Most of the awards.

 

[Konjad]

And why did it make into the RPGCodex news exactly?

From the DICE awards web page:

"Since 1996, the D.I.C.E. Awards have recognized games, individuals and development teams that have contributed to the advancement of the multi-billion dollar worldwide entertainment software industry."

Hmmmm

Well, ok, let's see what more do these people at D.I.C.E do...: A conversation with Nicolo de Masi, CEO of Glu Games, the company behind "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood."

 

[Tito Anic]

No Underrail.. AoD... SitS on the list


On serious note i am disappointed that Witcher 3 is not nr 1

 

[Andhaira]

The sole reason they are doing this is probably they don't want a non American company, like a Polish company/game, to win the award (like TWitcher III)

Ofcourse that would be wrong too. We all know the RPG of the Year of 2015 was Darkest Dungeons (and possibly Shadowrun HK but I haven't played that yet)

I love the superiority air, when likely the Codex GOTY is going to end up being similar.

 

[AwesomeButton]

I suggest the Codex establishes an official anti-reward "Ass Creed Of The Year" and give that to Fallout 4, for its significant achivement of dumbing down a franchise while at the same time providing a minimum of innovation in terms of presentation, mechanics, design, and writing.

The winner shall be determined by an open ballot of esteemed RPG players.

That award goes to Fallout 2.

At least the Codex GOTY will be the one that deserves it: The Witcher III.

Where would you find those?

 

[Aoyagi]

I think Fallout 4 should win Story award since it's so complex that not many can digest the story and get the point by the ending. lol

Bethesdrones, everyone.

Also how the heck did Battlefront win anything?

 

[Irenaeus III]

Kill them all!
