Community RPG Codex GOTY 2022: Results & Cool Graphs

[OSK]

To be fair, there was this that got me slightly curious about Elden Ring.



But even that doesn't make it much more than souls game #218621, which is the impression I got from all the gameplay I saw.

You don't need to take notes in Elden Ring. You needed to do it in previous FROM games, but this time the characters leave messages with the steps you should follow, and they literally tell you where they'll go and what they'll do.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade (136th place) not as high as I've expected.

I would have expected it to be lower. A good number of people here loathe it either because they always hated FF7 or they're superfans who seethe over changes to the story/combat system.

Props to Meb and Nelka and others for voting along with me more or less.

Not even Final Fantasy fans liked the remake. We got Italian Tifa out of it at least.

Wow, I'm surprised Bloody Spell and ELEX 2 got such low scores. I enjoyed them a lot. But apparently to 'dex consensus they are vastly inferior to The Impregnation of the Elves and Super Lesbian Animal RPG.

I enjoyed them somewhat, sure. Fun games. (now that I think of it... did I vote for Bloody Spell? huh...)

But they aren't great. Their rank isn't the problem I'd say.

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

I think I forgot to vote for Bloody Spell as well. There were too many damn games on that list I guess.

 

[Ryzer]

The saddest thing about this GOTY is: Elden Ring is not an RPG.

 

[Jrpgfan]

That top 3 was expected.

The top 5 though

And i will once more ask, in vain as always, why the FUCK do we need "tuned algorithms" for something as fucking simple as "most guys voted for 'x' game", the end.
Who can possibly think this artificial crap is fair? And if isn't, that it bears any import?

(i don't want the head spastic to answer me, his very nature forbids him from approaching this in any sensible way; i want someone else to reply, anyone really; call it your good deed of the day)

So it's not just a popularity contest, and Elden Right doesn't automatically win just because every tard played it...?

 

[LostHisMarbles]

So it's not just a popularity contest

This can be interpreted two ways, but in the off chance you weren't trolling the old fart:
We define best, can be the one game you liked the most (as in "if you had to choose just 1"), can be something else.
We do a users only voting, we do it transparently; most votes? Number 1, winner. Right after? Number 2. Simple, to the point.

You (figuratively) want fancy? Why not if you have the time.
Add a second or even third voting;
Which game had the best combat?
Which game was the most challenging?
Which game offered the most intriguing story/lore?
etc.

Straight stuff. Fair. To the fucking point.
El spastico is just playing with his excel buttans here, i mean, i don't know, is it really just me on this one? Why complicate only so as to obscure, lol

Sow hat's the current state of Knights of the Chalice 2?
Does it still give roxor nightmares?

There's easy difficulty and lots of further difficulty customization.

It is not that hard and I'm not very good at strategic games. Roxor has no excuse.

Do you not realize that under this system, we could very likely have ended up with a poll that had 50% Elden Ring, 40% KOTC2 and 10% everything else?

And that in other years it could be a single game with 90%?

You'd be taking the opinions that 90% of your voters had on all the other games and throwing them in the trash.

We're trying to get data here. As much as of it as possible. Don't like the ranking algorithm? Make your own and post your top ten. The data is there.

 

[Tyranicon]

Fairly predictable results, as usual. I'm happy KoTC and King Arthur got some recognition.

Spoiler

I totally had the odds on the lesbian furry game beating this one out.

 

[Stavrophore]

I forgot to vote

 

[Humanophage]

Top-10 by points if you cut off people with under 200 posts (not really a codexer) and people registered in 2015 or later (newfags and alts):

250​	Elden Ring
148​	Knights of the Chalice 2: Augury of Chaos
112​	Expeditions: Rome
112​	Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
108​	ELEX II
77​	King Arthur: Knight's Tale
75​	Persona 5 Royal
70​	Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness
51​	Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga
48​	Chained Echoes

(n=129)

BTW, since this poll use a different scale & is Codex-only, I combined the 2017-2021 polls that all used the same system:

 

[Darkforge]

Last year was truly a shit year of game releases.

 

[Tyranicon]

Lol wtf,

lukaszek sorry bro.

Elex II not even in the top 100. I guess it wasn't good then, if even Codex doesn't like it.

 

[Dadd]

The saddest thing about this GOTY is: Elden Ring is not an RPG.

The happy thing about this is, that makes KotC2 RPGOTY.

 

[barricade]

so since elden ring doesn't count because it isn't an rpg, KOTC2 literally destroyed everything in that list and finished in first place. that's all i needed to see. i'm out.

 

[Grauken]

I blame Darth Roxor and his OnlyFans

Can you link, I need to check for myself

 

[GrafvonMoltke]

God what a joke

 

[Grauken]

is it really just me on this one?

It's just you

We're trying to get data here

Thanks for replying of course;
You want data, you can get data in a way similar to what i said. Many votes, for all segments that make or unmake a game.
You get your data.
And the users get to see results that haven't been tampered by one person's view on how to interpret their preferences.
'Cause that's not voting.. or rather, it seems (ugly) very close to what passes for voting; elsewhere

They way you want your data.. look at what you told me, lol
You want to know the real data Marbles? Make your own algorithm and find out.
Now repeat that, tell me how it reads to you. And remind yourself it was you making this statement.

You discard all logic so as to implement a flawed, obscure and heavily based on a single person's viewpoint popularity contest.
Yet despite being flawed (because it's obscure and artificial), you tell me you get your data.
Flawed, aritificial -> Infinitron's happy with the data he's getting.

By all means tell me where i misunderstood you.

I wish you would stop abusing the semicolon.

 

[LostHisMarbles]

Dadd can you show me where? Not being an a-hole, honest enquiry.

* There are two popular (both of which correct) uses of it which by definition fall out of the 'abuse' category. And i don't see me ever having used it in a third/other way.
