[Infinitron]

New year, new poll.

I cleaned out the vaporware (System Shock 3 and Serpent in the Staglands standalone expansion) and replaced them with Stoneshard and Trudograd.

 

[Pink Eye]

Pathfinder 2.

 

[Jenkem]

Baldur's Gate 3 has the potential to cause so much Codex Drama.

 

[Valky]

Where's Spire of Sorcery.

 

[jebsmoker]

trudograd, please and thank you

 

[fantadomat]

trudograd, please and thank you

Another post apo game?!

 

[jebsmoker]

i like slavclunk fallout 1-alikes a lot. what can i say

 

[fantadomat]

i like slavclunk fallout 1-alikes a lot. what can i say

Play ATOM if you haven't,it is great game. I personally enjoyed it more than original fallout games.

 

[jebsmoker]

yeah atom is probably one of the few new CRPGS in recently years that i actually enjoyed

 

[fantadomat]

yeah atom is probably one of the few new CRPGS in recently years that i actually enjoyed

I really enjoyed the realistic writing,no politicly correct shit,just normal human interactions.

 

[overly excitable young man]

Already looks like a much better year than 2018 and 2019 combined.

 

[fantadomat]

Already looks like a much better year than 2018 and 2019 combined.

Not really,half that shit is remains from the last year. During the start of 2018 it looked like a promising year too.

 

[Jenkem]

Based Infinitron not including CyberGTA 2077.

 

[Daedalos]

Where the fuck is Beautiful Desolation?

Add that shit right now, it release in february already.

REsident Evil 3 remake

and obviously Cyberpunk 2077 in april which is gonna be goty codex 2020

 

[V_K]

I cleaned out the vaporware (System Shock 3 and Serpent in the Staglands standalone expansion) and replaced them with Stoneshard and Trudograd.

So you replaced vaporware with other vaporware?

 

[V_K]

Missing from the list: SKALD, Unexplored 2, Code of the Savage, untitled game from the Voidspire dev (working title was "Boat Tactics", I think) and VtM: Swansong. Any of those would make better substitutes for the removed vaporware than the added vaporware.

 

[Verylittlefishes]

Where is the Cyberpunk 2077?

 

[V_K]

Where is the Cyberpunk 2077?

In the 2077 edition of the list.

 

[Valky]

Where is the Cyberpunk 2077?

This is a list of incline.

 

[Verylittlefishes]

Where is the Cyberpunk 2077?

This is a list of incline.

 

[purpleblob]

In order:
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous
Realms Beyond
Solasta: Crown of the Magister

 

[nyjsu]

Solasta, Pathfinder, Realms beyond, KotC 2

2020 has potential to become a great year.

 

[Infinitron]

Damn, just realized there are going to be three simultaneous RPG Kickstarters in February - Pathfinder, Cyber Knights and KOTC2.

 

[V_K]

Wow. Such a wealth of games I have zero interest in.
