RPG Codex's Best cRPGs - DISCUSS THREAD / NOW ACCEPTING REVIEWS

[felipepepe]

I was equally butthurt about Dark Souls last year, but my prayers have been answered! Maybe on the next list we will all vote on Dragon's Dogma.

It only depends on CAPCOM not being complete retards, so I'm sure it will happen...

Should we list things without abbreviations so you can copy past it into a fancy excel function felipepepe ?

Nah, mah glorious spreadsheet can take it. Posting it in alphabetical order would be more useful.

What format is the best for You?

Not really. I think I'd quite enjoy Dark Souls, but there's no way I'm playing it on PC. Even with DS-fix and my PS3 controller, I have issues.

Maybe when my room mate gets that PS4. But that port was some shoddy fucking work.

Game A - 5
Game B - 5
Game C - 5
Game D - 5
Game E - 5

In alphabetical order, with a - between the game name and points, to avoid stuff like "Might & Magic 3 5"

Should have developed a web app where logged in users could distribute points among a gigantic pre-defined list based on all games of the previous vote.

[DragoFireheart]

So which game is in first? Fallout 1 or PS:T?

 

[Harold]

Maybe when my room mate gets that PS4.

I have some bad news for you

 

[Gregz]

...I still fail to see the point of such lists.

If you've played them all, there is no point.

If you've played 9 or less of them, the list is a godsend.

 

[felipepepe]

Currently, PS:T, by ONE point.

If you've played them all, there is no point.

If you've played 9 or less of them, the list is a godsend.

People focus on the Top 5 or Top 10, but I plan to release up to Top 50, or even more, if is interesting. So is always something helpful.

Oh and Deus Ex is probably my favorite game evar, but I don't consider it to be a cRPG. Same thing for SS2 no matter how awesome it is. Same thing for Dark souls, even if I cum buckets playing it.

Then you are silly.

That would mean deforming the vote by limiting the choice.

 

[SausageInYourFace]

Some people pointed out that series like M&M or the GoldBox Games never make it high in those lists because votes get split up between so many different games. I am not suggesting we should count some of them like M&M6/7/8 as one game due to similar gameplay (even though much could be said in favor of that), but has anyone ever gone through the old votes and did that? Just for fun? Just to see how they would end up? I would really be interested.

 

[DragoFireheart]

5 points:
Planescape Torment
Fallout
[Insert other Codex favorites]

 

[DragoFireheart]

I'm going to summarize the results.

1st place: Fallout 1 / Planescape: Torment
2nd place: Planescape: Torment / Fallout 1
3rd place: Fallout 2
4th place: Arcanum
5th place: BG2

Don't worry bros I'm sure they'll port the sequel at least.

Spoiler

Too bad we won't want to play it for all the horrible things Capcom will inevitably do to it

But think about horrible things like Dragon Age or Twitcher surpassing them if you don't vote them...

Spoiler

Come to think of it that might be a fun thing to complain about once we can't complain about BG1/IWD being in the top ten anymore

 

[Broseph]

I'm going to summarize the results.

1st place: Fallout 1 / Planescape: Torment
2nd place: Planescape: Torment / Fallout 1
3rd place: Fallout 2
4th place: Arcanum
5th place: BG2

Replaced my Fallout vote with New Vegas for great justice.

This is why partial poll results should never be released before the voting ends.

 

[St. Toxic]

It's an awesome game so why not.

It's pretty awesome, but it's hardly a good rpg. Warcraft 3 was a better rpg.

Woldun't change that much... most people already either vote for M&M VII or for World of Xeen. Counting M&M 6/7/8 as one only raises it 4 positions atm. Is not like it's in the limbo.

Joining Ultima 7 The Black Gate + Serpent Isle votes would make more of a difference.

Replaced my Fallout vote with New Vegas for great justice.

So how many points does BL2 have now?

 

[Zeriel]

People really need to remember the glory that is Betrayal at Krondor.

 

[Broseph]

I prefer first-person RPGs. The original games were only isometric because of technological limitations.

 

[Declinator]

Seriously, what's with the sudden influx of utter dumbfucks??

On the subject, Zboj Lamignat and Declinator , your votes don't add to 25...

- You can spend less than 25 points, if you can't think of 5 cRPGs you like.

Though you said "if you can't think of 5 cRPGs you like," I assumed that it would be possible to use less than 25 even if you had more than 5 games. Should I change it then?

10, only yours and poocolator's. 5.
And that still don't place it even in the Top 75...

Okay, no problem. You were the only one to not use all 25 points, so I thought it was a mistake, my bad.
