Let's See Who's More Prestigious: RPG Codex or RPGWatch!

Which combat system do you prefer?

  • Turn-based

  • Time-based turns

  • Real-time

  • Real-time with Pause

  • UgoIgo (copyright Chien) [I think this should be our King Comrade entry]

  • I don't care, I like them all

  • I don't like combat

Results are only viewable after voting.

We're holding at about 60% for turn-based, a full 12+ points ahead of them. Plus we've had about 240 voters so far, compared to their paltry 90 -- and their poll's been up for almost two months now.

Yeah, I'm going to call this a victory for RPG Codex. Suck it Fluent, suck it Prime Junta, suck it Myrthos; you guys are INFERIOR.

You could look at the numbers your way and take a small victory, 60% TB here, 47% there.

Or you could compare TB/RTwP numbers on both polls and take a victory lap.
- Codex : 60% TB - 10% RTwP, TB is 6 times more popular. :obviously:
- Gaywatch : 47% TB - 17% RTwP, TB is not even 3 times more popular ... :shittydog:

The Codex seems to have a self-esteem problem if it needs to
compare itself with RPGWatch to prove its prestigiousness.

It's a disgrace to put the Codex name in the same sentence with RPGwatch.
What's the point to be compared with sensitive fascists who love censorship to the bone..
Plus, they don't know shit about games in general.

If RPG Watch are sensitive fascists who love censorship to the bone, then what would you call RPG.net?

I used to post on RPG Watch occasionally, but gave up on it when "your password has expired".

Turn based is only good when you have a decent sized squad/party to control and there's a certain tactical depth to it, single character turn-based combat like fallout 1-2 and arcanum is even more popamole that real time twitch one or party-based RTWP

Codex has a fucking cargo cult mentality concerning the combat types, trying to pass any turn-based turd as the paragon of RPG incline, while in reality fallout-like combat is the literal MUH AWESOME BUTTON, where you just lazily click on enemies once in while to watch a cool gory death animation

People who believe combat like this is good just because it's turnbased are part of the braindead elitist cult of NPCs of the codex that would argue in favor of any piece of overrated decline garbage just to get some codex goodboy points

I regularly check out rpgwatch for news, it's the only other site I check. I used to check out gamebanshee but the moderator there absolutely hated people disagreeing with each other in the comments section, which killed anyone's engagement and interest. rpgwatch seems pretty similar, the comments I see range from mentally challenged middle of the road bland rambling to brainwaashed SJW so I've never bothered to register and get involved.

I'm pretty sure I could beat up anyone on the watch.

PS: I had an account there ages ago and posted a few times during our prestigious codex invasions of that place.

Imagine if every game played exactly the same. Even if it was made according to a magic formula that produces the perfect distillation of the ideal RPG. Who would want every game to play exactly the same? Surely someone here will say they want every game to be Temple of Elemental Evil, but really, no thanks. Variety is a good thing.

Turnbased.

Regardless of the games perspective; regardless of whether there’s a party or not and whether or not I can control it fully.

I see that pointing out the undoubted inferiority of RTwP RPGs makes you upset, you fucking cockroach. Why should I play shit I don't like?
Click to expand...
LoL the only inferiority of RTwP is the inability of cripples and old men to play it :smug:.

Nobody is forcing you to play anything,we are talking about different combat systems,it has nothing to do with which games you like or don't. You fucking ameba.
