Community RPG Codex GOTY 2023: Results & Cool Graphs

[Haba]

This was the safest, most secure election in history.

Calling Jagged Alliance 3 a senile old Democrat isn't very nice

Baldur's Gate 3 is Trump,
Jagged Alliance 3 is Biden

...

And Colony Ship is Bernie Sanders.

 

[Blutwurstritter]

The number of average votes per voter is 25,5. Its pretty clear that barely anyone here plays that many games and that most of the votes are by retards with second hand opinions. The list with the individual user votes is somewhat useful, its just a shame that many users that actually play games are missing.

BG3 still wins with weighted average result.

Trump failed to pay hush money to the bear, hence Biden won.

Also:

Damn, those last two places must sting. Vic and SDG annihilated

Imagine Starfield would run on 2-4 core PC well, and there would be planet with Nordsman, another planet with Kharjits, and there would be strignant migration controls the main character would go through pain to complete quest that gives him permanent visa to even be able to complete quests...

Basically Morrowind in space that will be mostly enjoyable.

But Bethesda decided to do Fallout 4 in space.

 

[Jeskis]

Decline repelled, Codex saved. For now.

A lot of the games on the list are ports, remasters, translations, remakes, ports of remakes and remasters, et cetera. Helps to pad up the votes.

Spotted two pathetic shills racofer and Hellraiser who give high scores to their shilling targets and 1/5 to everything else. Good to know to never bother reading your gaming posts anymore, despite such a long forum presence. Shameful behavior.

I think racofer was trolling and did inverse votes.

In my defense, I also despise the games I gave a 5 rating.

 

[EnthalpyFlow]

Voted for 21 myself and haven't voted on at least 10 more due to not being able to play them. It doesn't sound too far off, Blutwurstritter

Dunno, maybe he really liked Diablo IV and Starfield.

 

[Jaedar]

I guess I will buy that Caves of Lore thing.

Considering how people were hyping it in the voting thread, it performed worse than I expected. This is why it is important to have a vote.

 

[Ladonna]

The butthurt over the "vote spoiling", something that happens in every one of these polls, is funny as.

Come on, this always happens. Did people have real money on this or something?

The fact it always happens doesn't make it any less pathetic.

And I didn't even care about BG3 - I neither own it, played it nor voted for it.

Still I consider downvoting games you never played lame and sad. It spoils the fun for all the fair play voters.

Look, I understand your point, but the Codex itself is equal parts knowledge and shitposting. Whenever these big, "serious" things like the poll kick off, it inevitably leads to a mix of the serious and shitposter, with often hilarious and rage inducing results.

If you guys want to give them special tags, cool, that is very Codexian. But banning them, or whatever else some people are suggesting is just lame. It reminds me of the old "Vault Dweller wants to make the Codex a Prestigious Gaming Magazine" era where he went on a banning spree of anyone that insulted developers, until DarkUnderlord stepped in (after the Glorious Revolution) and said "It's all about the Drama(tm)".

So, even though I only voted for the game I played, I am honestly getting pure entertainment out of the shit being posted in this thread. That includes the veiled (and not so veiled) anger over the "vote spoilers". They did it to the game I enjoyed and voted for as well, if it is any consolation.

 

[Lagole Gon]

The result only shows how amazing Larian is - they were able to take the second place and their game wasn't even finished!

 

[racofer]

Honestly, not worth the effort. For all their effort to downvote BG3, they merely managed to budge it to place 2.

But I gave it a 5.

Game wasn't finished, but the bear has finished.

 

[TheCumGuzzler]

Sad to see Colony Ship below BG3, but at least this convinced me to give JA3 a try.

Nah, banning them is too much.

But a shameful tag would be ideal.

Colony ship has a very prestigious place for what it actually is, it's not a bad game but it lacks in several areas.

Nudex doesn't understand that anymore.

 

[conan_edw]

Funny how the results would turn if we got another top 110 RPGs poll since it's not affected by downvoting

 

[Hellraiser]

Honestly surprised JA3 did this good, I got the impression when I was looking into its thread months ago that the reception was rather lukewarm. Then again the same could be said for colony ship...

 

[Lord_Potato]

Disco Elysium and Cyberpunk 2077 would finally claim their rightful positions in top 10 and 20, respectively.

I can see the massive butthurt already, so delicious
