At least Cyberpunk 2077's trashfire release is entertaining. I gave it a solid 2.
I 100% agree with this. The "is it an RPG?" question is unanswerable, we can only rely on what the people behind the games have to say about them.
So Disco and Hades are RPGs.
Good to know.
Seriously, why are such plebian opinions tolerated on the Codex?

Ahh you are overthinking it mate.We will just plop a recommendation thread for rpgs that were released in 202X year that went under the radar,so people could post them. At some point i will get a bottle of rakia and shift trough all the garbage,ignoring boring JRPGs that butthurt weebs were spamming and games that had nothing to do with rpgs but X retard liked it and decided to recommend it for a goty. Two three weeks later Felipe will do the same and post his goty poll.

It is a codex goty,it makes no sense to have non-rpgs or majority jrpgs as options. It is a forum for classic RPGs after all. Still the main point of the thread would be for people to find/recommend new games that could have went under the radar. That said,there is plenty of threads about obscure rpgs and rpgs that came out during X year.

Abu and other posters are doing good work over there. However, the amount of games in there that piques my interests are minuscule.

That's a really good thread to look for obscure games. Thanks :)

Damn, i am sad now... One of the reasons i wanted to join the codex was specifically because of the yearly polls which helped me discover some of my favorite recent rpgs.

I guess its been already said to death but WTF 2020? There was nothing in there that i could give a perfect rating to. Even when including barely rpg games that i actually enjoyed (like Troubleshooter for example). I googled literally every single game on that list i didn't know and nothing seemed interesting.

I am starting to agree with the assessment that, regardless of your feelings about Cyberpunk as a game, one of the worst things it did was hold back other devs.

Wow, what an absolutely shit list. There are like maybe 3 decent games out of the bunch and a whole lot of them that I wouldn't even consider to be an RPG.

Also, no Stoneshard, Bannerlord, FFVII Remake, Baldur's Gate III, Solasta or Demon's Souls Remake?

Exactly.

Disco Elysium is an RPG:

Jagged Alliance 2 is an RPG:

Horizon Zero Dawn is an RPG:

Us not liking those games doesn't mean that they aren't RPGs. It just means that we don't like (modern) RPGs that much.

Why the hell isn't Mount and Blade Bannerlord on there? Or ATOM RPG Trudograd? Or Stoneshard? Why the hell is Genshin Impact on here? It's a chinese gacha game and a fucking Marvel Avengers game? What kind of console slanted list is this? I haven't heard of half of these games. This list sucks. Put actual website related games on there.

It's not a Codexian poll for Codex users, it's a normie poll for r*dditors with the Codex troll stamped to it so faggots on 4chaneddit can wank to these "rpgs".
