Community RPG Codex 2016 Role-Playing Game of the Year & Age of Incline Voting

Why are people so upset about the results? Lol, it's just a fucking Internet pool.

Last year we had, like, six different polls, official or not because people were upset with methodology. This year it's all going very peacefully.

Why are people beheading for Koran? Lol, it's just a fucking book.

Behead those who insult Incline!

Double digit IQ probably have something to do with it.

Considering only the top right of the picture (let's ignore everything else, as all other games are far from being great for too many reasons)

Look at what games were in poll. Dunno if there was at least half of RPG among them.
They are not worst, they are different, like ToME4 which I played 46 DAYS of total time.
Xenonauts - is it bad RPG how do you think?

There are a lot of outstanding games, that just different, not bad.
If I was forced to play only RPG I would kill someone already.

Another good headline for the Codex.

All must submit to the Hyperweapon.

You see, this is not just a poll, this is serious business. Codex is our last, best hope. If Codex' taste will prove impure, everything is lost.

error bars dude, error bars. stdev that shit.

fyi, OriginPro handles that way easier than excel. Free alternative: IGOR Pro.

Edit: for graphing.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

It's ok, Trump won't win the nomination.

 

[Rivmusique]

Dragonspear deserved more. Fun game and good drama.

 

[Heretic]

I liked Risen much more than Shadowrun. Both were quite stupid but at least Risen had good areas to explore.

 

[duanth123]

A shame Masters of the Northern Throne didn't score higher. It was at least better than Wasteland 2

 

[Lurker King]

My posts are more entertaining than W2. I want a GOTY.

Blue games will be the most useful recommendations for people outside the Codex.
Greens are interesting, some of them have a fair shot at becoming "New Classics" in the future
The same applies to Gray games below the Greens ,although due to the low number of players, their future is more uncertain, but on the other hand there are many of them and some of middle Grays may actually proved to be good.
Half of the Grays and especially the Greens are the most important and useful results from the poll.
It will be interesting for sociological reasons to track how the perception of Yellows and to some extent Oranges will change in the future.

But it's not like AoD is called irredeemable piece of shit and universally hated for lack of quest compass and romances. I'd understand if aweigh was angry about supposedly hardcore gaming community not only slamming Elminage Gothic but also totally ignoring it.

Well, done analyzing & writing the results, here's another fun graph while we wait:

 

[Heretic]

2015 was a great year.

I'm wondering about those well received 2016 RPGs.

 

[Goral]

3 games with score above 4 in 2016? O_O
I don't see how that's possible, must be some obscure titles then.

 

[Rahdulan]

Gotta remember to bring my umbrella for the shitstorm.

Is it simple average or Bayesian?

Having more high-rated games in 2016 than in 2014 is pure blasphemy.

Nice post - very interesting. I really only liked one of the Blues - D:OS.

Did not rate the Greens that high - decent games I suppose.

Of the two suns, why is one labelled as instant controversy? They had mixed views?

 

[felipepepe]

Simple, that's why 2016 has 3 games so highly rated.

Yes, "Instant Controversy" are games that a lot of people played but the votes were divided evenly between positive and negative - best represented by Pillars of Eternity and Wasteland 2.

?? What sort of person did not like PoE or WL2 ???

I don't understand it. Rival developers? Jealous guys?

Ah - I get it now. Those games had an equal amount of people liking and loathing it - but not only that - liking and loathing it in equal measure.

WTF - even worse - what sort of person did not like LoX?

Must be we have a bunch of Alternative Codexians somewhere.

 

[Tigranes]

It might be that a game like POE had tons of 4-5s and tons of 1-2s, while perhaps other titles, like Eisenwald, has a lot of people giving 2s,3s.
