Incline GOTY 2024 Games List discussion [NO VOTING YET]

[felipepepe]

EDIT: Updated the list with all the games mentioned in the thread, plus several DLCs.

So, it's time to do the Codex RPG of the Year polls again! Once again, I took Abu Antar's list, removed games with less than 50 reviews and added some he was missing, like Corpus Edax and Felvidek.

Veilguard obviously

Honestly, played nothing released in 2024 again.

 

[BosanskiSeljak]

Geneforge 2 is the best RPG on the list but Drova and SKALD hype gonna beat it out

 

[Infinitron]

Just to be clear, this is not a thread for discussing which games you intend to vote for. That will come later.

Felipe wants to make sure he hasn't missed any games released this year that will appear in the poll.

Geneforge 2 is a remake. Why reward Vogel for regurgitating old content with a new coat of paint? Drova and Skald are actual new games.

[Eisen]

Surprisingly, the list is actually shorter than last year. I'll leave this here until the weekend to see if we're missing anything important, then ask Twiglard to make the GOTY poll.

I see Broken Roads missing from the list.

Also will there be a separate list for dlcs? I think there were some important releases of additional content for Rogue Trader and Heads Will Roll.

 

[Cat Dude]

Can we remove Jrpg games from the list please? Because I want to stroke old snobbish codexians ego here.

Right after we remove Disco Elysium and similar tripe

 

[luj1]

Felipepe's terror has to stop

 

[BosanskiSeljak]

'SCP: The Expedition' is called SCP Operations now

 

[Maxie]

Geneforge 2 is the best RPG on the list but Drova and SKALD hype gonna beat it out

Geneforge 2 is a remake. Why reward Vogel for regurgitating old content with a new coat of paint? Drova and Skald are actual new games.

Because the original Geneforge 2 is a MacOS game, which is worse

You will not steal the top spot from Felvidek that easily. We can see what you're doing.

 

[luj1]

I actually went and checked, around 80-85% of the list is weeaboo trash

Also bunch of these games have Mixed reviews and not even their authors call them "RPGs" but action/strategy/whatever

felvidek too

 

[jaekl]

I plan to vote for dragon age veilguard because it brought a much needed spirit of comraderie to this place when everyone was trashing it

 

[luj1]

Found a game I actually like (not counting more known ones like Drova, etc):
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2929540/Dragon_Ruins/

 

[Eisen]

Perhaps the true GOTY was the enemies we made along the way

 

[ropetight]

Songs of Conquest

Game is not RPG, it is heroes-like strategy.
Does it have place in this poll?

 

[Nifft Batuff]

As long as Veilguard is present, the list is good.
