Community RPG Codex GOTY 2023: Results & Cool Graphs

[jackofshadows]

Starfield worse than Forspoken? OUCH

That's thanks to my joke vote for it, possibly others.

 

[Lord of Riva]

It also assumes that all 41 people gave 1/5 because they dislike bears, not because some of them really disliked the game because, for them, it was a bad game.

No need to assume, I'm looking at the list right now and most of the names were quite vocal about Halsin and their intention of never touching the game

So? I did play a legit version in the end that i refunded. I am not claiming I was not biased against it but that does not change how I thought about it. The end of the second coming into third act, while already being max level, broke the camels back. The Nymph and the devil in the brothel was so unbelievable gay, I shrugged and deleted the game

Since BG3 is D:OS 3 I can just compare it to previous results.

1.4%/13 people gave D:OS a 1
2%/8 people gave D:OS EE a 1
8%/51 people gave D:OS 2 a 1 (a lot of people were really upset over the armor and initiative systems)
13%/40 people gave BG3 a 1

Since BG3 doesn't have D:OS 2's controversial game systems, the conclusion I come to is that most (I'd say at least half) of the 1-voters belong to the bigot brigade. Perhaps a solid dozen who just really don't like Larian games.

That is a wrong conclusion, I actually like DOS 2 and it improves on DOS 1 it's just way too long.

You just have a) shit opinions b) want to rationalize your shit opinions.

You guys downvoted one "twenty years later sequel made by another studio that all the SHILLS say is actually good" only to have another one win in its place. Lol.

Except the JA guy actually worked on JA3.

It's just a solid, fun game, with minimal bullshit.

BG3 probably would have won if it weren't buggy as shit and hadn't become a meme game.

 

[Mortmal]

For context, Divinity: Original Sin 1 had 1% of 1/1 votes in 2014. Baldur's Gate 3 had 13% of 1/5 votes.

So either BG3 is far worse than D:OS1, or 2024 Codex is far worse than 2014 Codex. Very hard to tell.

2024 codex is far worse , easy to say and you already know it.

Indeed, I really like JA 3 and will replay it starting today with my wife.

Not a single RTwP in the top 25.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

So?

So nothing, we already know how it goes.

-it didn't happen, you're lying because you must be one of them

-it might have happened once or twice, so what?

-it might have happened a lot but you're just assuming things

-you have a list?...well it happened but it was necessary

-it doesn't matter anyway so stop noticing, I knew you were one of them

 

[Roguey]

"I like this game and it's better than the last one but also too long" does not justify giving it a 1.

 

[Lord_Potato]

jackoff alliance, bear fucker game, colon shit
you people have negative taste

So maybe just live with a vote you do not like, Vox populi vox Dei.

Larian decided to go with these divisive decisions, both gameplay and story wise and has to live with the consequences. Compared to the real shit coming out these days, all things considered they can not only be happy about a 2nd place here but accolades and Money blown into their ass to no end everywhere else.

So cry me a river.

Actually, BG3 did win (Bulgarian Game 3)

Spoiler

What I'm saying is, Baldur's Gate 3 should have won, but at least the alternative wasn't some game with an edgelord consensus behind it (though I'm not sure such a thing can exist nowadays)

I did not give DOS2 a one and did not like BG3, at all. You got my message wrong from what I am seeing.

There's nothing to justify or discuss. 2024 Codex is officially, with clear evidence, no longer a site about RPGs; it's a platform for free speech, albeit one leaning towards alt-right, anti-woke politics. The "does not scale with your level" remark is completely out of touch. The place has nothing to do with discussings RPGs anymore.

There is no link between "alt-right" and anti-woke, this site being anti-woke is something the administration and moderation has seemingly not understood, would be great though.

What? The administration perfectly understands. Twiglard is an admin, and his most prominent thread is the list of woke games.I have nothing against Twiglard, but that's what stands out.

I already listed the entire process, you don't need to go through each step.

Take it easy, it's not like they knocked BG3 down to #20.

Of course Jewtroon wanted ESG3 to win

At the end of the day I got bored with BG3 quickly while JA3 kept me coming back. I think it's because BG3 features the exact type of 'puzzle combat' that JA was trying to avoid, but maybe that's me.

JA3 is just a good game. Anyone complaining that it won is mostly salty that their game did not win. They can wrongly argue all they want there was review bombing that does however not change that JA 3 was voted as high as it did on it's own merit.

I am just stating the facts. In 2006, it was RPGCodex's "Does not scale to your level," due to Oblivion's level scaling and the gameplay being dumbed down compared to Morrowind, catering to the mass market and Xbox 360. In 2024, BG3 does not have dumbed-down gameplay. It's the best tabletop adaptation ever, a superb revival of the genre with the highest production value ever seen. So, let's replace the title with RPGCodex's "The retards wrong on everything."

It very nearly still won despite the insincere downvoting. Disco Elysium was brigaded even more heavily in 2019 (30% negative votes!), but in that year the competition was so weak it managed to win the #1 spot anyway.
