Lol. Why would I chase a crazy woman? She isn't here anyway. And why did you add "1" to her nick? So many questions.

Lol, you're the one autistic about '1'. Go to bed, poser. I'm sure one day people here will treat you as one of them 'prestigious' codexers. But is it not that day. You just need to try hard longer.

Why is this causing you so much butthurt? I never called myself prestigious. It's you who is doing it. And my gaming taste hasn't changed since forever. It's just that the world has went to shit (and games with it). And now I am a poser because I can smell shit and refuse to eat it like yourself? Lol, fuck you man.

My curiosity did not die, unlike yours.

Btw this is literally the same thing Fluent says. I don't think it's curiosity, I think it's standards. Some stuff I just refuse to play, it's disgusting. Why would I be curious about BG 3? You can see everything in advance, it's like watching a plane crash. But I know you are one of those people who don't even believe there is a decline.

I can see why someone might not prefer disco elysium but saying it's decline is retardo.

The decline happened, it ended like a decade ago. Now mainstream press is praising a turn based game because it has meaningful choices n consequences, to say nothing of the burgeoning indie scene.

The decline is over, our side won. Why not just be grateful the decade of trash is over with? That shit sucked and I thought it would never change, but it did.

What would be the best way to vote? Each user could write down his own 101 list in a post. If someone really cares about the subject, he will do it. Then someone could read those lists and count the votes of those about ten people and write it down and share the results.

Just have everyone do a Top 10 list, and assigned points to each vote. The top rated place gets ten points, second gets nine, and so on like that until you’re at the tenth spot which gets one point.

Sounds gay as fuck. The Codex way used to be to resist and strike down Decline, not fucking embrace it.
The Decline is inevitable. The best you can do is try to search for hidden gems (Kenshi, Battle Brothers, etc.). Besides, complaining about everything going to shit is Codex's tradition.

Which is exactly why I said that this poster has the right idea:

2016-2023 or something list could be interesting, since it could feasibly include some hidden gem that flew under most people's radar. Another all-time list would be pretty pointless, it would just be old list + the biggest new releases and the only remotely interesting result would be pages upon pages of pointless hissy fits ("Witcher 3 made the list, the Codex has fallen", "What a shit list, next time we should make the objectively correct list by only allowing people with exact same taste as myself to vote", "How dare these subhumans put Fallout 2 in 4th place and Arcanum in 3rd place when if you were a 250 IQ, high-testosterone alpha male with a large penis such as myself you would know that by objective metrics of RPG goodness Fallout 2 is the 3rd best RPG of all time while Arcanum is the 4th")

Codex+ Now Streaming! Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
Even if all parameters were kept the same from the 2019 poll, 1 change would help immensely.

Giving even extra 5 points to allocate as a negative. That already somewhat negates the rampant fanboys dumping points onto mediocrity

There was a bit of controversy last time about grouping NWN2 OC and MotB together. What do people think about this now? I think it takes us down a silly rabbit hole if every FRUA module is to be considered separately, or if HotU is to be considered separate from NWN OC.

Be careful what you wish for.

Others might happily drop those 5 negative points on your darling game, removing it from the ranks.

Expansions should be considered together with the main game, yes.

I think Mask of the Betrayer was the only one treated differently.

I can see why someone might not prefer disco elysium but saying it's decline is retardo.
Point of fact Disco Elysium might be the worst thing to ever happen to RPGs, simply due to the fact that it isn't one and you faggots keep on insisting that it is. The trash that came out from '04 to '15 was trash, but they were still RPGs.
Now we've got a bunch of Estonian Soviet rapebabies releasing visual novels about muh capitalism bad and then we've got you fags barging your way into my motherfucking territory talking mad shit about your CYOA tier shit. You're almost as bad as Larianshills.
The decline is over, our side won.
This right here is why Disco dumb-dumbs are the Jews of RPGs.
Also I take it back, you're worse than Larianshills.

It's a role playing game... You choose a role, and you play it, you make choices based on that role, and see the consequences play out.... I love my tactical turn based combat as much as anybody (Jagged Alliance is my fave), but you can take the combat out and the role playing part is still there.

Funny you should mention larian though - BG3 was an amazing game!! Lolol

Mhmm. In any strategy game where the player is a single character like ruler or general, I choose a role and play it and make choices based on that role and see consequences. In fact both choices and consequences are often much more profound.

Guys, most wargames are CRPG now. Half of strategy games are too. most Sport managers are as well. As are regular sport games. And more. You didn't hear it from me.

We have another one of the: "RPG is a game where you play a role" people.

So much retardo

Disco Elysium clearly comes from the TTRPG tradition. In fact it was a TTRPG that used an adapted D&D ruleset that the designers played before they made a game out of it.

It has every component of a more traditional CRPG except for the combat.

Again, I can 100% understand wanting a different kind of game. I love turn based combat. But to say Disco Elysium is not an RPG is just asinine and ignorant of the history of the genre.

It's moot because if I run the poll I simply won't count any votes for Disco Elysium.
