Community The Age of Incline: RPG Codex's 2012-2016 GOTY Results

[Lurker King]

A partial list of shame of the individuals who gave “Pillars of Eternity” a 4:

Zed
Felipepepe
Jedi Exile
Deuce Traveler
Mastermind
Lady Error
Morality Games
Violet Shadow
Cosmo
Tigranes

The following disgusting individuals gave “Pillars of Eternity” a 5:

Crooked Bee
I have a huge nick
Roguey
Irenaeus
Tom’s Baker Arse

Elhoim gave Shadowrun a 4, and Darth Roxor a 5. What the fuck is wrong with you?

DISGUSTING!

What's up with this witch hunt?

 

[pippin]

just good ole butthurtz

1. So don't pretend that it's valid. JS example was especially stupid. Might as well name it "causal penetration" for a bigger dramatic effect.
2. With how things are going? May need some "enlargement pills" for your "Statistical manhood".
3. I don't do it daily in my job, did pure stats just in Uni. I have done mostly econometrics, because I believe that descriptive statistics are voodoo. But you just love it so much.

This is only for fun, there's no treatment whose effect could be detected in this poll.

1. Again, let me know how'd you get anything causal out of it? Once more, I have nowhere said there is anything causal involved. Or pretended it's anymore valid than the poll itself. JS example felt probably stupid because you had trouble understanding it was an example, a story, a vignette, and not something I really think would be causally responsible for changing opinions.
2. Ok, I need to resort to maximum manhood estimation.
3. Huh, everything has it's purpose, it can still be informative

And there's nothing that prevents using Wilcoxon signed rank test or sign test when comparing a pair of games to which both the same people have given a grade. No causal manipulation is required, you do a simple rank count and see if they actually differ. Will that prevent the Polish manipulation? Of course not. Do I care? Of course not.

 

[Prime Junta]

I for one am more concerned for the individuals who gave Dragon Age: Inquisition a 5/5. To what depths must you sink to do such a horrible thing?

 

[an Administrator]

Poland can't into space but apparently it can into video games

 

[Infinitron]

Wait a minute, Desslock is still around?

 

[Russia is over. The end.]

Can someone make a matchmaking algorithm for dating based on this data, so we can find our true, albeit neckbearded love?

Is it really a surprise that I liked PoE?

 

[you know what time it is]

rpgcodex is officially finished

last person to leave please turn off the lights

You thought Academagia was about grinding, there's no hope for you left at this point.

says the guy who gave fallout 4 a 3 while downvoting almost everything else

What a fucking retard.

Ok faggots, i'll play. "Downvoting almost everything else"

Armello - 2
Dragonspear - 1
Borderlands: Pre Sequel - 1
Card Hunter - 2
Child of Light - 1
Costume Quest 2 - 1
Crypt of the Necrodancer - 2
Dark souls 2 - 1
Darkest Dungeon - 2
Defender's Quest - 2
Dex - 2
Diablo 3 - 2
Drox Operative - 2
Dungeon rats - 2
Dust: An elysian trail - 2
ICY - 2
Kingdoms of Amalur - 2
M&MX - 2
ME3 - 1
Omerta - 2
Sacred 3 - 1
Shadowrun - 1
Sunless Sea - 1
Wasteland 2 - 1

And a bunch of other shovelware that I had pleasure to play or see my friends play in the past 4 years. The only real slip or missclick was the fallout 4 and AoD scores. 10 point system would have been much better, but since we got what we got - pretty much everything below 3 can be considered shit, I also gave 4 to a bunch of H&S and roguelikes such as Path of Exile, TOME and Grim Dawn, not because they are better RPGs than AoD, PoE or whatever, but because they were quite decent in their subgenre (and shouldn't have been included in the list in the first place).

After looking at the full data, it's clear that people tried to manipulate it.

217 users (27.13%) have fewer than 10 posts, and 142 have 0.
70 users (8.75%) registered in January 2017.
The Witcher 3 had 265 5/5 votes, but 87 of them (32.83%) came from users with <10 posts.
Age of Decadence had 245 5/5 votes, but 57 came from that group. And no, these users didn't downvote AoD. Quite the opposite, actually: only 3 out of 217 gave it a 2/5 and 11 gave it a 3/5.
Tyranny had 45 5/5 votes, but 22 came from that group.
Divinity: Original Sin had 5/5 votes, with 69 from that group.

The top 10 results wouldn't have been too different with some form of vetting, but the rest changes a lot. Here's what the top 30 would look like with a minimum of 10 posts and registered since December 2015:

1. The Witcher 3 - 3,80
2. Age of Decadence - 3,79
3. Underrail - 3,78 (+1)
4. Divinity: Original Sin - 3,77 (-1)
5. Shadowrun: Dragonfall - 3,73 (+1)
6. Dark Souls - 3,69 (-1)
7. NEO Scavenger - 3,45 (+1)
8. Dragon's Dogma - 3,42 (-1)
   
9. FTL - 3,40 (+1)
10. Legend of Grimrock II - 3,39 (-1)
    
11. Fallout 1.5: Resurrection - 3,36
    
12. Shadowrun: Hong Kong - 3,35 (+1)
    
13. Dark Souls II - 3,31 (+3)
    
14. Dark Souls III - 3,299 (-2)
    
15. Dungeon Rats - 3,298 (+2)
16. Heroine's Quest - 3,29 (+3)
17. Invisible, Inc. - 3,282 (+5)
18. Expeditions: Conquistador - 3,276 (-3)
19. Xenonauts - 3,274 (-1)
20. Valkyria Chronicles - 3,267 (-6)
21. Blackguards - 3,263 (+7)
22. Tales of Maj'Eyal - 3,260 (-1)
23. Might and Magic X: Legacy - 3,24 (+6)
    
24. Legend of Grimrock - 3,233 (-4)
25. Stardew Valley - 3,266 (+2)
26. Shadowrun: Returns - 3,22
27. Lords of Xulima - 3,21 (-2)
28. Wasteland 2 - 3,19 (-4)
29. Grim Dawn - 3,18 (+1)
30. Pillars of Eternity - 3,17 (-7)

Biggest swings compared to the original top 30:

Blackguards (+7)
Pillars of Eternity (-7)
Valkyria Chronicles (-6)
Might and Magic X: Legacy (+6)

Interesting how PoE is the game which benefits the most from inactive/new user votes.

Twitcher3 still on top, doesn't make any difference. Let us acknowledge the popamoleness that is Codex2017.
