Trigger the codex with a statement.

[Skdursh]

Americans are the worst posters and it's not even a contest.

I agree, but Sunri is from Poland. Think about it.

RPGWatch > rpgcodex

But RPGWatch is basically dead. It gets like 2 posts a day between all its boards. People have voted with their feet and they like the freedom of the Codex better. The same is true of Resetera. They made a forum for only leftist and gay gamers and what do the leftist and gay gamers do? They come here. In droves. Because in spite of our problematic reputation people prefer the freedom offered by the Codex to the shitty cyber gulags made by their own kind.

Is censorship on the Watch such a problem? Don't know, never subscribed there, the mobile version of the site looks like shit.

I've never been active there. I've had an account but the only time I recall actually posting there was when the Codex went down for some reason and people went there briefly. From what I know they aren't SJWs, just a normie gaming forum. You can't say nigger there, that's for sure. They didn't seem to like Codexers much, I remember that. A lot of people used to have accounts on both forums and there was a kind of rivalry. I looked at the place recently and it seems like only a couple people still post in their forums, though they're still putting up handwritten articles on the front page unlike the Codex.

Edit: I just looked at the "viewing" numbers. Looks like there's a couple hundred people reading the site at the moment. So that's far from dead. I must have checked it out at a slow time before. There isn't much active posting, so yeah much smaller than the Codex but by no means dead.

Why would this trigger anyone? I don't care what stupid people do to their own bodies. Support for the mandates is more likely to trigger me.

I support mandates for COVID-19, everybody who refuses to be vaccinated should be executed and their property shall burn in napalm fires.

Well I hope you got your children and wife vaccinated as well. Triply. Quadruply.

When you get your 10th booster, do you get a prize?

I support the mandate

I support that since big pharma is not held accountable and responsible for the side effects of this drug after CDC changed the vaccine definition(to no longer require immunization), that people and politicians who support mandatory vaccination and vaccine passport become responsible in Pfizer's place.

In many or most turn based games, especially more recent ones, you just walk forward, select attack from the menu, watch an animation and repeat. Little or no thought, strategy or tactics is required. It's just a slower version of real time with pause.

shoot eyes, win game. sound familiar?

M&M VI > M&M IV

Not saying that IV is bad.

I preferred the smaller party in VI but the number of HP sponge trash mobs is retarded, and so are the bottomless dungeons.

MM6 with sponge enemies? What? I can two hit kill titans with sharpmetal spell.

I don't even know what a titan or sharpmetal spell is. If that's endgame it means nothing to me. I'm like 10 hours in and it still takes a retarded amount of time to kill things with four bows, and there are 30 or 40 of the same enemies in each area and hundreds of copy/pasted enemies in dungeons. No challenge just time wasting.

You don't have to be a mage to kill things with sharp metal.

6>4 even 1 int can figure that out.

6 characters party > 4 characters party.

NFTs are the future of RPGs and anyone who doesn't understand that clearly doesn't know anything.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

NFTs aren't the future of anything. Just an overblown fad of the moment.

Would be amazing if feminists create their own IPs instead of infecting established company IPs.

Despite the AD&D ruleset, the Gold Box games barely qualify as RPGs. At their heart they're just tactical games with spells and level-up mechanics, and combatfags who believe that's the same thing should find a better name for their favorite genre and stop ruining RPGs for the rest of us. This lack of understanding for the spirit of the law, while perfectly obeying the letter, is to be expected from a studio like SSI, founded by wargamers who were not particularly passionate about role-playing games. These games are a mix of combat-centric gameplay, lack of interesting role-playing systems and puzzles outside combat, and railroadeded and needlessly epic plots told through small vignettes in between combat encounters, that reminds of Japanese games like Final Fantasy. And indeed, people who like to pretend that JRPGs are a subgenre of CRPGs (and not a new genre with completely different objectives) should mention the Gold Box games more often, instead of talking about Wizardry 1 and Ultima 3, games made by actual RPG (not CRPG) fans, born out of the desire of emulating an actual role-playing experience.

They're all still fun games (in a trashy, comfort-food way) but only as simplistic tacticool challenges. They're much better games than garbage like Baldur's Gate and the like, that's a given, but it could be argued that the decline of western CRPGs begins with Curse of the Azure Bonds in 1989 (not Pool of Radiance though, that game's the closest to the RPG genre despite being an inferior combat simulator), before even Ultima VII or Betrayal at Krondor.

Eat shit!

Well done.

Is hard to trigger the entire codex, so :

• Argentinians : Las Malvinas son inglesas
• JRPG fans : Visual novels have more RPG elements on it than most JRPG's
• Larian cultists : Larian is popular among game journos and only brought decline
• OwlCat fanboys : Paizo will probably force then to go 2E in their next game and it will gonna be awful.
• Poles : Piranha Bytes will NEVER make other game as good as Gothic 1 and G1 remake will gonna ruin Gothic legacy
