Most deranged Codex hatedoms

[Falksi]

Thots

I mean by all means hate them, but don't let that hatred stop you from using them for sexual pleasure. You don't have to marry them.

 

[Darth Roxor]

My pick for a recent derangement is Fallout 3, a game whose thread was a non-stop parade of shit and STOP POSTING ratings right up until it was released and people went "Oh wait, this is actually okay I guess, whoops".

I've enjoyed D:OS 1 and 2 a lot, so I don't get the hate on Larian.

I couldn't stand the retarded combat model on D:OS2. Massive sponges everywhere, that only got worse as the game progressed, to the point killing a couple trashmobs took up to 15 minutes of brain-numbing combat. Why brain-numbing? Because of the retarded armor system. So long as they have armor, they're basically immune to everything, so the only tactic to use is pure DPS to get that armor down. The moment it's down, you have so many stun abilities that the enemy is inevitably stunlocked forever, until you FINALLY manage crush his massive HP pillow.

Then there was the itemization. Level-scaled equipment, holy shit – that unique set of armor you found in an ancient tomb? Yeah, it's worthless after you level up twice or thrice, as even the bargain bin at the dollar store now has better gear now. Or the writing – just a lot of gay shit all around, that starts off as generic and quickly progresses to pozzed. Or literally anything connected to talk about romance of any kind – just pure as they talk about lizard cocks or whatever the fuck; you can just see the writer giggling like a teen retard while writing such parts.

The reason for hate on Larian is that they make shit games, simple as that. D:OS2 was like a highlights reel of bad design decisions.

the Civ thread is unreadable due to this, Fedora should really be banned from it

What I want to know is what Josh Sawyer did to Major_Blackhart

Did Josh fuck his girlfriend or something?

Hate is fine. Deranged fanboys are the problem.

 

[wishbonetail]

What i'll never understand:
Morrowind-shit combat
Arcanum-shit combat
PST-shit combat
Disco Elysium-no combat...hmm i see a pattern here...
Gothic3- shit, because shitty reasons

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Most deranged fandoms: anything involving IE games that aren't PST. Thoroughly trash games through and through designed to be bottom of the barrel RPGs with mass appeal using mechanics from what was the biggest fad at the time(RTS)
PST, despite this, manages to be a good game. Good job, Avellone. You get one(1) Rusty seal of approval.

I don't understand why in 2022 there are still people that consider Bethesda the absolute worst and the cause of all decline in RPGs.

For starters, Bethesda RPGs have no romances.

 

[mondblut]

What games or developers do you think should Codexers should have shown more appreciation towards?

None.

The guy is a terrible fame designer because he eschews the fact that the most important thing for someone playing his game is having fun.

And he's awful. I thought this before but look at the cocksuckers Twitter feed.

I feel like a madman sometimes. Some people relentless praise him and I see just a cancer on the gaming community.

 

[JarlFrank]

Notice how Infinitroon starts a drive-by butthurt thread and then doesn't even engage people in it, just like he posts his """news""". Mindlessly.

Procedural generation has still some limits.

So sayeth the prophet lukaszek.

I thought it was JarlFrank .

Anyways idea that hate is `deranged´ is just misunderstanding of completely healthy rejection that healthy persons do.

I would never say "procedural generation has still some limits". That is way too mild.

I would say "Procedural generation is a pale shadow of conscious human level design, and will never ever reach the same level of quality in the entire history of the universe, for it lacks the most important ingredient of creative work: soul. An algorithm has no mind. It cannot create content of the same quality as a human can. And even the most flawed human level design has more personality and charm than the most perfect procedural generation. Therefore it will always stay inferior."

[SumDrunkGuy]

I don't understand the revulsion for RTwP.

It's the whole passive participant thing. I'd rather play a ARPG and have direct control over everything my character or characters are doing.

 

[luj1]

Josh Sawyer. I don't understand why some people hate themselves so much not to utterly despise him as much as I do.

Combatfags love their balanceman for sharing in their autism, even if they might disagree with how he goes about it.

just no

im a combatfag and hate soyer

also balanceman? poe was very unbalanced from race/class perspective

 

[Heroic Liberator]

also balanceman? poe was very unbalanced from race/class perspective

That's what he envisions himself as. Attempting to bring balance to CRPG systems (and failing spectacularly).

 

[whydoibother]

Which Codex hatedom do you think is the most deranged? What games or developers do you think should Codexers should have shown more appreciation towards?

Larian. Divinity: Original Sin 1/2. Baldur's Gate 3.
Just because its well reviewed and widely liked, doesn't mean its shit. Just because it got given a big budget and advertises, doesn't mean its shit.

 

[quixotic]

This is true.
Larian is still shit though.

 

[Kem0sabe]

Codex survives on hate. I don't like the direction Infinitron is taking this discussion, highly suspect.

The RTS fad, hahahaha, you're so right. That explains why those games are so overrated. I never even knew about them when they came out, probably because... *checks wikipedia* yup, they were Windows/Mac games and I was still gaming on DOS. It was all for the button-clicker noobs.

That said, I liked the Westwood RTSes, it's just that all the copycats grew tiresome. And I'll grant that it's possible to make a good RPG on an RTS-RTwP engine, I've just never played PST because the premise doesn't interest me and I know it's not worth playing for the combat.
