KickStarter what is your personal 2015 RPG GOTY(roleplaying game game of the year) ?

[MicoSelva]

PoE, I guess, because it is the only one I managed to play to completion. I am guessing pretty much any of the others would have topped it, though.

 

[Joni Odin von Hassenstein]

Yeah, I googled and apparently it's Pillars of Eternity. The kickstarter page says it's an infinity engine spiritual sequel. Does that mean it has awesome spells like Baldu's Gate 2 ? The spells in that game coupled with the awesome combat encounters blew me away at the time. Is it something like that ? 'cause if it is, it's going straight to the top of my backlog...

not sure if serious

Guise, I can't believe I was unaware of this game. I'm so excited, I've been reading Steam reviews all day at work. The game seems awesome. There were some people that wrote that crafting and itemisation are bland, but that's probably Fallout 4 'tards who think a wooden board that deals ice damage is something gud. I can't wait to get home and purchase...

Either this is a rather good-ish trolling attempt, or this guy is a genuine cutie pie.

 

[Jimmious]

It seems like a genuine reaction of someone that finds out about PoE...outside of the Codex. So he must be trolling.

 

[Osvir]

What does the PoE option stand for ? I've never heard of this game. And why does it have "lol" in parenthesis ? Is it some kind of single player League of Legends clone ? Guise I am so confused...

I believe the (lol) is part trolling, part Codex echochamber, part genuine dislike. I'd put my finger on the two former being the majority and the latter a minority.

Don't expect great combat and BG2 spells in fact, don't expect anything at all but a new similary-ish experience that is heavily inspired by the infinity engine games

This forum is so strange, always with the past references that I don't know so I don't get the context. Not like RPGWatch where I can just jump into a conversation and every one just speaks their mind, like straightforward.

Anyway I'm not 14 anymore so I don't have time to check every site for game news, what with college coming up in less than 2 years... so pardon me if I missed a kickstarter.

Got home and going to start with a chanter. The class seems like a ton of fun. Very different from the classic standard set by WoW of dps/healbot/tank. Cheers mates!

 

[Celerity]

The correct answer is OBVIOUSLY Derpest Dungeon. Just look at the developer's Emmy winning performances at producing an actual game without doing so, the "community" playing the part of mindless thugs, and let's not forget my performance as zealous pursuer/entertainer.

But seriously I vote Xulima. It was made in 2014 but I found it in 2015 so don't give a fuck.

 

[Celerity]

I've considered the reasons for why the superior game, The Witcher 3, is doing so poorly here. The reasons range from irrational, to pathetic, to shitty, to insignificant and repulsive.

Reason #1: TW3 gained too much success and popularity, so liking it isn't edgy enough for you. "If they like it, it must be shit." You'll only admit to liking new games that are designed as though they were old classics, and/or niche indie ones... as long as they don't become too popular, that is, because then your self-image as a special snowflake would be threatened. In other words, you're goddamned hipsters who wouldn't know true quality even if the avatar of Hitler Himself flew down from Heaven and presented it to you.

Reason #2: You're a poorfag who can't afford a decent enough computer to run TW3. Get a job, you piece of shit, and contribute to society for once in your life.

Reason #3: You think that TW3 contains too much dialogue/lore/storyfaggotry... yet you have an autistic devotion to "Planescape: Torment" as the best game that ever was and ever will be.

Reason #4: You think the world is a little bit too big ("Why would Geralt want to go there, this takes too long"), or that the pacing is a little bit off ("Why would Geralt take on this contract instead of pursuing Ciri"). IT'S AN RPG. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO. YOU DISGUST ME.

The fact is that TW3 is a massively successful game despite being 0% politically correct, with masculine rapey men and feminine women, no creepy genderbending AIDS-inducing romances, not even the slightest repulsive dindu in sight, blissfully free of SJW-cultism, while also being based entirely on white European culture and mythology, being both a storyfag's and an explorationfag's wet dream, and utterly visually stunning, with an amazing soundtrack... I forget where I'm going with this because my blood is rushing to my nether regions just typing it, but if you disagree and get cancer tomorrow you deserve it.

... that being said, AoD is a rock solid #2.

It also has the whole look at me, I'm amazing and perfect and all these women will fuck me. Except without the directness that comes with actual porn, so it's really just classic Triple A trash where they try being everything and instead are nothing.

apart from the ending where you end up alone because you try to get your dick wet way too much

You must be referring to this ending, where Yenn and Triss must adapt to life without Geralt.

[hivemind]

Brofitsted because AoD is in bold.

 

[Shadenuat]

If I can't make my choice, what do I do
Do I vote for Lightning Returns?

 

[Saduj]

For me, AOD and Underrail are both games I was eager to play for years and both largely delivered on their promise.

Voted for AOD because I've enjoyed it slightly more. But really I'd rather focus on the idea that I'd like to see more from both teams.

Hopefully both developers are able to cut down on their eh, slightly lengthy development cycles while making focused games that aren't spoiled by having too many cooks in the kitchen.

 

[Commissar Draco]

Changed vote so; Its not like didn't enjoyed both much... so:

1. AoD
   101 vote(s)
   29.8%
2. *
   Underrail
   101 vote(s)
   29.8%

 

[DawnrazorDCLXVI]

You forgot the Quest.

 

[Johannes]

Lightning Returns.

What is good about it? Looks like crap at a glance.

Read her sig, it's all in there.

 

[Namutree]

Age of Decadence vs Underrail was a tough choice, but I went for AoD. 2015 was kinda epic.

 

[Agesilaus]

Good man! Know that you made the right choice.

 

[Ladonna]

I had to go with Age of Decadence.

This may well have been the toughest choice in recent CRPG memory.

AoD is ahead by 3 votes now
