I assume it's one of those 4D jokes where the real punchline is IWD2 in the combatfags section?
IWD is BG without the storyfaggotry (although BG isn't particularly storyfaggy either, PST being the storyfag title among Infinity Engine games), so I don't see why you wouldn't classify it as a combatfag game.

Oh yeah. Here's a good time to repost this.

It's a nice image, but to trigger anyone on the Codex you would have to switch labels to:

1. Outdated
2. Too janky
3. Visual novel
4. Too complicated
5. For Polish people only

Wait, why 5? I'm not offended just don't know what the joke is? I thought we Potatoes play Witcher 3 exclusively?
At least the oldfag games are very good though i'm not sure which Ultima is it. And they ARE (technically) outdated. Everyone knows it. How is that triggering anyone?
Also lol at Underrail being "combatfag" game. It is an explorefag + what fag is someone who plays game where everything is about building your character? But combatfag? Maybe for someone not that faggy - for a fag. It should be ToEE or maybe JA2 instead.

It was a reference to all the Polish posters with anime avatars. Perhaps you've missed most of those because you don't spend much time outside of General RPG section?

Thanks of answer, that makes... some sense. Or rather would if true. I simply can't see it.
From more active/known potato codexers: Darh Roxorowski is a mouse but it doesn't look anime(?), Maxie is a dog (non-anime), lukaszek a pixelated duck, there are/were a few pigs, Draq - a dragon (from HoMM?), konjad - a pixelated miner from whatever, Zboj Lamignat - i suppose it's a "zbój", looks non-anime, Storyfag - not sure, even if anime doesn't look like it, Goral - same, Malakal - Edwin from BG(2)... my humble self - KoDP... and many more. Looking through the last dozen pages of Polish thread in GD i found 3 anime but 2 of them have low post count.
Weird.

Oh well. Someone should make a Polandball playing anime version of Witcher 3. That would nail it.

IWD2?
- More like "worst infinity engine game"
- More like "Why are we listening to the coffee boy?"
- More like "not a time of good releases"
- More like "Imagine playing this garbage instead of going outside"

Etc.

And yet the IE games are superior to the Gold Box games in just about every way. And of the (newer) D&D games I haven't played ToEE seems to be the only worthy contender.

Any tank control game that is good is always good despite tank control, not because of it.
Demonstrably untrue. You can tell because the re-release of RE: Remake in 2015 added a camera-relative control scheme which makes the game much easier and removes a lot of the tension of the gameplay; zombies are much easier to dodge. So the game is actually worse with "better" controls.
