Anyone who played BG3 (or any other game) is entitled to give it 1. I reserve such grade for utterly worthless and broken titles, but everyone has different tastes.
I am an idiot and you are correct. I thought that number was votes per voter and not per game. Thank you for pointing out the proper numbers. Are the average and median votes per voter listed in the excel file? I still fail at finding them,
That's a wrong interpretation of what 25.5 means; it actually means the number of average votes per game is 25.5 votes.
It's a rather useless data on its own, as popular games will have a lot more votes while obscure ones very little.
The median number of game votes by Kodexers who voted, is 6 games.
Using Median instead of Average, as it's less affected by dishonest votes (FWIW, average is 9.6 games, many thanks to Hellraiser & racofer).
Whether Kodexers 'on average' really have played 6 2023 listed games by 15 Feb 2024 is a question that cannot be reliably answered but what it can be interpreted, is:
Kodex voters 'on average' has a total of 6 (out of 162) 2023 game impressions from 'what they have played, watching let's play videos and hearsays'.
It's really hard to gauge though, who has or hasn't played the game.
It did.
No worry, codex has always been welcoming to trannies like you
Because you have to have brainrot if you think something that doesn't even affect the vast majority of the game and is largely optional to boot (just use mercs instead of companions for example) should have such a significant impact on a game's score as to lower it from a deserved 3-5/5 (debatable range) to a 1/5 (absurd).
Abysmally utterly shit writing which infuses absolute everything in the game, like the corporate generic artstyle, makes immersion impossible (ie makes it non-functional as a role-playing game) unless you have garbo shit tier taste and no culture.
Is that so?
You don't take into account that other people may have different criteria for a computer game that yourself. We don't even have a CRPG definition let alone objective criteria by which to assess one so how can you claim what score is rational and what isn't? Someone could make a claim that BG3, even if considered a good game, objectively has major flaws and does not deserve a 5/5 so all 5/5 are not legit. Then only 4/5 and 3/5 are serious votes worth considering. That is absurd but it the exact same line of reasoning as yours.
Ironic as rpgHQ is really a sister site , can you even tell them apart?
People like that will land on reddit or Resetera, not here. Someone for whom BG3 was "foundational experience", will get filtered from Codex after reading for 2 minutes and already seeing 20 posts about jews, trannies and niggers destroying gaming.
Don't forget Broken Roads and there are more straightforward adventure games taking liberties from DE like Let Bions Be Bygones as well.
Lol, that's what you wish
