Trigger the codex with a statement.

[Zed Duke of Banville]

I don't get the hate on Todd Howard. After all he created Fallout.

Don't be silly, everyone knows Fallout was created by Brian Fargo:

 

[IDtenT]

Sid Meier made Alpha Centauri

 

[lametta]

we need more diversity and wokeness in gaming. imo pride month should be celebrated by every game with an ingame event.

 

[Cryomancer]

A Gnome genocide in Arcanum would result in a world like Athas from Dark Sun.

 

[Sonic Titan]

EverQuest is better than a majority of the games celebrated in the Codex.

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

There will never be a fourth UFO game.
And if there is, it will be some mobile mahvel shit. Just like what happened to XCOM

Skyrim shits on Fallout

Joshua Edwards Sawyer brought fresh air into the genre and revolutionised RPGs

HEY, GUYS! I started playing the original Fallout for the first time recently, but now I've put it on hold so I can play Fallout 4 - Point Lookout instead.

Let me repeat that... I stopped playing Fallout. So I could play a Fallout 3 DLC. In Fallout 4.

That's not true heresy.
True heresy would be to stop playing Fallout so you can play Fallout in Fallout 4.

Maybe one day...

It's probably already been said but most turned based and rtwp games are straight trash. ARPGs are infinitely superior to both.

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

ARPG games are just rtwp from another perspective.
You have a pause button, they're in real time, therefore they are rtwp.

I see the point but there's a recent trend of pause not being a thing in a lot of aRPGs. Thank From Software for that

Diablo-like games are near the bottom of the barrel when it comes to RPGs, only slightly above RPG mechanics in open world games.

I thought this was the codex consensus...

I think is lower. It is only slighty above the RPG mechanics of souls-likes.

Maybe he meant the 2nd part? There are some open world games with complex or even decent mechanics.

 

[Bruma Hobo]

Fuck complexity, I want purpose.

 

[Serus]

Fuck complexity, I want purpose.

One doesn't have to preclude the other. You can have pointless complexity and you can have complexity like in Cataclysm DDA (a RL/rpg/open world game) which is half pointless - but the other half is very... purposeful and cleverly implemented.

 

[Denim Destroyer]

The second part of my comment was in reference to games like Far Cry or Assassins Creed. Overall I meant that those games are only slightly worse than Diablo like games when talking about RPGs.

 

[Hag]

Roguelikes are not RPGs at all.

They are usually much better.

 

[forumvisitor#451]

I will not finish Underrail or even start Expedition unless it gets released on Switch.

After that, it will be rated by others on Nintendo eShop as too archaic (turn-based) and RPG just like any other while it will drown and sell like shit in sea of shit.

Why does every word out of this dude's mouth makes me want to kill myself.
