I'm very into cock and ball torture
Geneforge 2 is a better RPG than all of those
I really don't think remasters of 20yo games should be encouraged, let alone be eligible for voting.
"An actual good, proper CRPG being released shouldn't be encouraged"

lol
The "actual good, proper CRPG" released 20 years ago though. People should be encouraged to play the original, proper games and not reward disgusting practices like remasters and remakes that are always worse than fan patches/source ports.

Wtf are you talking about? Everything related to exploration is objectively improved over the original - the world map design is significantly better, the rework of the health and save systems have now real consequences, camping has been introduced with the chance of enemy raids, pawn quests make hiring wandering pawns more fun than than hiring from the Rift and side quests are actual quests now that the player has to go out there and find (not mmo generated fedex filler)
I used wrong word, the problem is with rewarding exploration, because loot is mostly random you barely can find anything that wasn't already present in shops (i think most of those unique items are for post game only). Yes the world is a massive improvement but what of it if all just the same mobs and short caves, the only real optional dungeon was that place with a lich near starting region.
Exploration is fun when you keep hoping to find some new place with a unique boss or treasure but when you finally realize that besides Sphinx and maybe Medusa there is no such thing you will end up disillusioned.
So was the first game and in that one it made much less sense, yet you didn't complain
As far as i remember there was only this wizard Mason with his magical book quest, unless you are talking about other players pawns then no, it wasn't filled with niggers.
The cat people were already meant to appear in the first game, same as the elves and dwarves
And honestly, why do you even play fantasy rpgs if can't stand fantasy races?
But in the end furries didn't end up in DD1, from all content cutting decisions for that game this was the one only good decision. Also lol if you think that just because i hate furries i dont want fantasy races in fantasy rpgs.

Also another problem for DD2 is lack of memorable npc's, besides Sphinx and maybe main Pawns there is no memorable characters.

Only games of the list I've played were Caves of Qud (gave it a 4... but I played it a long while ago) and Path of Achra (gave it a 2. The game is great, but not much of an RPG). Why didn't the list include Balatro? Since it is includding everything it can, it might as well...

Only 1 I gave was for SCP Operations. Randomly generated characters to create your squad, except it randomizes the names and portraits too, so you can have what's supposed to be someone from Korea be a black person with a name like Vladislav Pshek. Then the game just crashes after prologue with no fix and a dev who never responded to similar issues being pointed out on discussions.

Arco, Drova, SKALD & Felvidek all 4, fun indies. I also gave Dragon Ruins a 4 just cause of the portraits.

Vendir, Nemire & NovaMundi just plain mediocre get a 3.

Passageway of the Ancients & Trail of Ayash get 2 just cause they're bad RPGs.

Geneforge 2 just outright best RPG out of them all, easy 5 in this selection.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
felipepepe you've put, and here I quote, 古龙风云录 on the list - are you even able to read this yourself?
I've run into this problem recently as well:


The only one from the list I've played is Metal Slug Tactics. It's not really an RPG, but I'd give it 7/10, so it gets ~4/5 I guess?

1 = 1-3
2 = 4/5
3 = 6/7
4 = 8/9
5 = 10

In my opinion.

Next time go the extra mile and link the games to steam or gog in the survey. Why the fuck i'm paying money for? To do it myself?

I voted for the only game on that miserable list that I actually played, and that's Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.
Solid 5/5, everything else can fuck right off, especially veilsisters.
