Community RPG Codex GOTY 2023: Results & Cool Graphs

[Raghar]

It's actually quite funny because he created that character generator, then looked at characters users were making and said they made a white skinned knight in an armor, instead of some weird stuff, and how he's surprised they didn't use all these weird body shapes.

So now this picture shows him running away from the second prize, the prize which he desperately doesn't want to receive from that person. And when he thought he finally managed to get rid of the person, he jumped out of a sewer with a happy smile screaming.

Swen knows in spite of not being fat, having a sword, and an armor, he can't defeat him, or outrun him. He's desperate because the only outcome would be the happy sewer smelling fat person would catch him, defeat him, strip him of his sword, strips him of his shield and armor, pats him on his back, give him the price, and says words that would make him in his social circles a social pariah for 20 years. "Good job Swen."

I like how the fat man is happy and his eyes are spread away from each other, and he still sees his target. Frankly, that fat man looks like he ran on top of the water surface in the canal then jumped. AI drew Swens body in an artistic way by using deformed style. I also like how AI is parodying the multiculturality of BG3, by making the body multicultural: white face - brown hand.

Maybe i should have done the same way for iron towers too, i am not too sure they want a codex award either.

Yea, these first two images were funny because people were desperately trying to avoid receiving the price, and the fatman was happy person who loved what he was doing.

BTW these images have nice art style.

edit: Third image reminds me of Underrail. It's not that bad, but AI weirdly screwed up eyes.

Yes, we should all cherry pick data to provide ample fuel to DISCUSS the highly scientific research on codex opinions, here's how the lurkers/alts/newfags/people/bots with less than 100 posts voted:

No, that would be unfair and would distort the truth. Instead nobody should be allowed to vote, that way we would have fair, objective and useful data.

I call this the "no data allowed" approach.

For some reason, Swen doesn't seem thrilled to share this result on twitter, I wonder why?

I doubt Larian will ever acknowledge Codex's existence again, after hitting mainstream like that. Their current audience would probably cancel them for any mention of such racist, misogynistic and transphobic site.

Listen, guys, when Disco Elysium won GOTY for checks date 2019 I said "but that's not an RPG you dumb fucks", but you know what? I had to let it go. I, as a firm believer in democracy, have chosen to abide by the ruling of the majority, regardless of what that ruling is. Therefor, Disco Elysium is an RPG and Jagged Alliance 3 is GOTY 2023, and clearly a superior RPG to BG3.
Tactics is still the new RPG.

So, um... a well-deserved and... yes, justified bronze award for the excellent game Colony Ship. Congratulations to Vault Dweller

What was the prompt and setup for that? Looks pretty good.

 

[raeven]

I see a lot of talking about RPGs, unfortunately, most of them are loaded with SJW shit. Should that just be ignored if someone dislikes it?

.... yes? Is yes an option?

Sadly it isn't otherwise nobody would care. They could have their niche fetish shit and normal people could enjoy games.

So, um... a well-deserved and... yes, justified bronze award for the excellent game Colony Ship. Congratulations to Vault Dweller

What was the prompt and setup for that? Looks pretty good.

Bing with such prompt more or less : an oil painting of a NKVD sovietic army officer holding at gunpoint a mad obese dirty fat nerd with soiled clothes wearing a t-shirt with "RPGCODEX" holding a bronze trophy , dirty space ship room, dystopian science fiction deserted colony ship background, dark blue hue colors and lightning

Does RPG watch even have 100 members? Much less 100 who'd vote on a poll? Who cares what they think. Is troll voting BG3 dumb? Sure. Is it the best RPG of the year? Maybe? Is it a top 10 all time RPG? Only if you count production values. Personally I'd drop all 1/5 vote, because 2/5 is the honest dislike vote value. Then see what happens.

 

[Hellraiser]

Personally I'd drop all 1/5 vote, because 2/5 is the honest dislike vote value. Then see what happens.

Personally I'd drop all 5/5 vote, because 4/5 is the honest like vote value. Then see what happens.

Have any devs even recognized their wins (or hilarious losses) in recent Codex GOTY polls? All I remember is Pierre mentioning his win on RPGwatch's GOTY with KotC2.

Congrats to Kamaz

Although I probably should've phrased the question in a way that discluded devs with active codex accounts ofc

 

[Skinwalker]

This poll was clearly rigged to prevent Bearsex Gays 3 from getting GOTY. I demand a recount!

Have any devs even recognized their wins (or hilarious losses) in recent Codex GOTY polls? All I remember is Pierre mentioning his win on RPGwatch's GOTY with KotC2.

Piere mentioned his impressive finish in the Codex GotY:

Hello everyone! I hope you're well. Here is the latest version of KotC 2.

...

I'm very glad to report that Knights of the Chalice 2: Augury of Chaos has obtained the Second Place in the RPG Codex Game Of The Year 2022 poll: https://rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=12147

Both Elden Ring, the winner of the poll, and KotC 2 received 75% of positive votes. Elden Ring obtained a score of 3.81 while KotC 2 obtained a score of 3.74.

I think that's an awesome result! Thank you so much to everyone who voted in the RPG Codex poll!!

 

[Darth Roxor]

I think I remember Logic Artists also laughing at Viking being rated 'least worst game in the poll' or something like that.

 

[Iucounu]

Yes, we should all cherry pick data to provide ample fuel to DISCUSS the highly scientific research on codex opinions, here's how the lurkers/alts/newfags/people/bots with less than 100 posts voted:

I count to 51 with 5 or less posts. That's 11.7% of all 430 voters, enough to sway an election?

 

[Axioms]

Personally I'd drop all 1/5 vote, because 2/5 is the honest dislike vote value. Then see what happens.

Personally I'd drop all 5/5 vote, because 4/5 is the honest like vote value. Then see what happens.

This isn't true though? Sure 5/5 is inflated, but it *usually* isn't inflated deliberately like 1/5 is.

 

[luj1]

We can test this theory. How did the people who rated BG3 1/5 rate JA3?

Ahahahahah same score as the average. Original Sin 3 slop enjoyers in shambles as another talking point is taken away from them.

Thanks Infinitron!

 

[notpl]

I object to this idea that 5/5 is an "inflated" score or should only represent generation-defining miracle games. What the fuck is the purpose of a point scale where a full 20% of the spread is unachievable? A 5/5 to me just means "a very good game, one of my favorites in recent memory" which is not an insurmountable bar to clear. BG3 didn't, since Act 3 was terrible among other demerits, but several other games did.

The granularity of the 1/5 scale is a big issue IMO. I'd prefer a 20 point scale, but I imagine that is annoying to deal with. So we are stuck with the 5 point scale and the inherent limitations of that. Like there are plenty of games that deserve 18 or 19 out of 20 but few that deserve 20 out of 20. Whereas there are lots of games that deserve better than 80/100(4/5).
