Lilura's Blog: An Ongoing Codexian Obsession

[Butter]

What's a cRPG veteran? Is that like when you dodge the draft and then spend the war years playing Ultima?

Surely not. Nothing pre-Diablo for a monocled individual like Lilura. It means you play BG1 hundreds of times.

She never even has:

(I wouldn't know having never played Ultima)

What a clown.

cRPG veteran is someone who likes the same games that I do.

Example:
If you like Arcanum you're a cRPG veteran, and also based.
If you like Disco Elysium you're a redditor normie RPG noob and also a retard.

What if I like both?

Lies. Bitextual cRPG fans don't exist.

Well, you know what they say about a man who builds a 1000 bridges and sucks 1 dick? Same principle here

That saying is wrong and merely a movie meme though. Look up Tchaikovsky for example. Anyway, I'm just not autistic.

Anyone who likes DE is a retarded redditer.

There are amazing RPGs pre-Diablo such as Wizardry 6, Dark Sun and Wasteland

Lilura was a mad woman who was too deep in her own arse

I have tried two out of three and found them lacking. Primitive curiosities that don't offer the kind of content that can engage me.

the best games were made after 2010...

Of course. The kind of content that can engage you isn't found in these games anyway, such as romances, voice acting and customizing genitalia.

1996-2000 is the ticket.

I keep thinking Roguey is rogueknight333. Then I see takes saying some of the greatest crpgs of all time are lacking and I have to do a double take.

What kind of rpg veteran wouldn't consider Darklands to be the best crpg of all time? I can't think of one.

Just the Gold Box games alone are worth it.

Roguey is still suffering from the influence of Josh Sawyer, the handmaiden of Decline:

"If someone were to make Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord today, I would not consider it to be an RPG [due to not having interactive story-telling]."

"If someone were to make Fallout today, I would not consider it to be an RPG due to not having companion romances."

"If someone were to make Mass Effect 3 today, I would not consider it to be an RPG due to not having motion-captured VR bear-buggery."

"If someone were to make Baldur's Gate 4 today, I would not consider it to be an RPG due to [use your imagination]."

Lilura https://lilura1.blogspot.com/2021/02/Darklands-Review.html

Couple the overall clunkiness of Darklands with its kludgy RTwP combat system on barely-scrolling battlescapes (which should have been turn-based) -- how can it be recommended in 2023?

Wonder if she's going to keep updating that year every year.

His opinion about Wizardy was about genre labels, not quality. RPG doesn't mean "game I like." He's an Xer, his favorite games included Pool of Radiance, Darklands, and Bard's Tale.

"I tried to play the DOS version years ago but couldn't get past the blob-movement with the tiny window".
Plays a completely butchered version instead. So you actually never really played POR.
And you don't seem to have even touched the Krynn series, second favorite in the goldbox games according to most codexer's.

The game content's not going to be any different/better.

And you don't seem to have even touched the Krynn series, second favorite in the goldbox games according to most codexer's.

Consensus is that Pool/Curse are the best games so if everything else is going to be even worse than that, why bother?
