Community RPG Codex GOTY 2022: Results & Cool Graphs

[Infinitron]

where my fellow elf impregnation chads at

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Grimdark + Cherished Childhood mythology series is a great way to turn me off a game but if it's really that good I'll take a look.

 

[Kruyurk]

Maybe with a log scale the clusterfuck at the bottom of the graph would be readable.

 

[Shaki]

First Disco, now Elden Ring, can we end this charade, stop pretending the site has anything to do with RPGs anymore, and just vote for Call of Duty or FIFA for GOTY next year?

 

[Dood]

Is Knights of the Chalice 2 released on the PC or just the Amiga?

 

[Galdred]

Voting for "Impregnation of the Elves" and "Super Lesbian Animal RPG" is the equivalent of voting for "RPG McRPGface".

Yeah, it's funny, haha. A shit game in the Top 5.

Indeed, maybe we'd need to factor popularity a bit more, so that a few voters cannot turn the ranking into a meme list by rating an unknown hentai game that seems mediocre at best with 5s?

 

[BlackAdderBG]

Action game won RPG of the year, tactical strategy is third. DU, just close the RPG section and make it GD site already.

 

[thesheeep]

And Elden Ring is now an RPG to follow by developers.

The decline of this place is unbearable for me...

Well, it is without a doubt a game that achieved almost everything it set out to do.
THIS close to perfecting their formula. Just a great game.

But it's RPG-parts are indeed extremely low, it's mostly an action game.
I wouldn't have included it on the list, but since it was there, I decided to vote for it in the end.

Knowing full well the rewards that would reap in the salt mines.
The butthurt is as epic as expected.

My goodness, I didn't even recognize 98% of those game (so didn't vote). Never heard of them. I am now solidly in "Cranky Old Man, Get off My Lawn" territory as I have zero interest in almost all of these so called cRPGs. Too many classics from the good-ole-days still to discover and play.

And once your memory starts drifting away, you can rediscover them all over again.
The party never ends!

all voted 5/5 for The Impregnation of the Elves: Conquest of the Arrogant Fairies by Impregnation

Expecting reviews and impressions in a dedicated thread since it seems so good.

Also just to say, amusing as this is. I didn't actually vote for that game.

I can only assume Konjad looked at the wrong column.

Edit: GrafvonMoltke take your fake news rating and shove it up your ass.

 

[Tyranicon]

Honestly this is the most balanced GOTY poll in years.

• ARPG with huge marketing budget and wide appeal wins 1st.
• Codex favorite and tiny niche "actual real RPG" by root enthusiast wins 2nd.
• Surprisingly good Camelot mythos game backstabs from behind for 3rd.
• High quality JRPG is milked once again for 4th.
• Joke sex game wins 5th.

[mediocrepoet]

I'd like to see the correlation between users' ratings for Elden Ring and whether they played KOTC2.

Is the kind of person who plays KOTC2 more stingy with his ratings (for Elden Ring and also in general)?

Don't let anyone say I never did anything for you.

Let me know if you need any help interpreting it or if you want me to send you the Excel file. Don't open this spoiler unless you want to see, it's long af.

Edited to add a few explanations of the columns up top since I just realized it's not necessarily intuitive.

Dadd you might be interested in this too with the questions you were asking in the other thread.

Spoiler

The numbers are the ranks people gave the game.
Played is the sum of the 1-5 ratings.
Played ER is the number of people who played Elden Ring who also played the game in this row.
Played KC2 is the number of people who played Knights of the Chalice 2 who also played the game in this row.
Average is the average of all ratings from 1-5 for that game.
Average ER is the average of all ratings from 1-5 given for that game from people who played Elden Ring.
Average KC2 is the average of all ratings from 1-5 given for that game from people who played Knights of the Chalice 2.

I basically just did this to satisfy Infinitron's curiosity since it was an interesting question and he does a lot for the site.

Ctrl Alt Ego is the only game to have zero 1/5 or 2/5 votes.

I double checked this against the raw data in case my spreadsheet had errors in it. This is simply not true.

 

[udm]

You're right, I just looked at the raw data and there is this faggot called niqoise who gave it a 1. Then again he cast a vote on every single game in the list, so...

Well, it is a Codex poll...

And actually, he only rated most of the games on the list. He isn't the only one either. This is somewhat interesting.

 

[mediocrepoet]

Let's see... who should go on the list of shame?

Spoiler

Total possible games to rate is 160, maximum score to give is 5, minimum is 1...

User name, join date, total ratings given, average rating given, and just for shits and giggles, score given to Elden Ring in case of some sort of agenda.

Seems legit. The next highest number of games reviewed is 46 with severalin that range and then a few in the 30s, more in the 20s, and so on.

Row Labels	Sum of Ratings​	Sum of Avg Rating​	Elden Ring​

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

Spoiler

It never stood the chance as it is not even a sex game. If it was actually a lesbian bdsm petplay game with RPG elements (as the title suggested) then it would've been a much more of a fight between the two.

Then again he cast a vote on every single game in the list, so...

Also 0 activity whatsoever. Probably an account made solely to inflate votes in the poll? Makes more wonder how much the results can be trusted if this was done en masse.

Some games obviously were high, because people voted on them for fun, regardless of whether they played them or what they thought of them. Somebody gave an idea that in order to be in the poll games ought to be recommended by Codexers first. It may be worth considering after all. A list of ALL potential RPG can be useful, but for different purposes than voting for GOTY (people checking out if a game is worth their interest, for example).

There were only three that clearly did stuff like that and they tended to 1 star everything. Or 5 star everything in one case, except Elden Ring. See above.

[Lady Error]

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)

Much better, in my opinion. Currently, some shovelware that a few jokers give 5 points ranks higher than Expeditions: Rome, ELEX 2 or Black Geyser.

Lol, what a shit year. Elden Shit, a budget version of ToEE (which was itself a shit combat demo), and the third one I don't even ...

Accounts from 2023 couldn't vote, I removed those.

Not every year can have The Witcher 3 and Breath of the Wild.

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Elden Ring at #1?

You’re all massive fags with shit taste. Imagine literally voting for an Ubisoft open world game just because it has DS combat.

If Elden Ring actually had the same combat as Demon's Souls or Dark Souls, it would be a much better game.

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.

Proudly loathing FF VII since 1997 1998.

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?

Ratings systems are far preferable to simply selecting one, or even a few, games, and a Bayesian adjustment is needed to avoid little-played games with a few high ratings finishing ahead of games that are broadly played and rated.

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

Conan disagrees:
