Did you play any of 2016's crop of RPGs?

[Drog Black Tooth]

fuck yea skyrim tho, the cream of the crop

man im always up for this game, its like the hole rpg game genre crystallized in a single master piece, this shit has it all stealth, diplomacy and mind games, epic battles wtih dragons and shit, a huge world to explore and many people to kill

This year was pretty bad indeed. Luckily, 2017 will be better, if only because of D:OS 2.

Pretty sure nobody will bait it

 

[Ezeekiel]

I only played Dark Souls 3 (wanted to actually try playing a DS game for once, rather than watching people play it on youtube) and DE Mankind Divided (meh, couldn't be bothered to finish it... Just played it for nostalgia's sake and because the previous remake wasn't complete shit at least). No Tyranny, never Tyranny.

This year was mostly boring as far as new releases go.

 

[Paul_cz]

Only Blood and Wine so far, but I am looking forward to Deus Ex and might try Dragons Dogma, owned it since january still didn't play it.
And will probably give Tyranny a go.

 

[Dorateen]

Did not see Stranger of Sword City on the list.

 

[pippin]

I've just now realized Darkest Dungeon is the only 2016 game I've played. It's the problem of being stuck with a laptop though, I'm getting a new computer soon so probably my games will be more than just powerpoint presentations now.

 

[Sizzle]

Completed:

Tyranny (has major issues, played it out of pure storyfaggotry)
TWM2 (liked it, bodes well for PoE2)
The Banner Saga 2 (more of the same)

Started or played some:

Siege of Dragonspear (played it a bit, but grew bored and abandoned it. Doubt I will ever play it all the way through)
Darkest Dungeon (I'm waiting on that Vampire DLC to tackle it again)
Avadon 3 (played it all the way to the end, but enemy HP bloat got to me. Will probably finish it sometime)
Salt & Sanctuary (seems interesting, will have to play around with it some more)
Dragon's Dogma (same as S&S)
Necropolis (didn't like it)
Tahira (not my cup of tea)
Warlock (cute, but couldn't really get into it)

 

[garren]

Sadly, just Grim Dawn which I backed on kickstarter. Tyranny has been on my hard drive for over a month, but I can't muster the will to start playing it for some reason (I blame PoE which was a disappointment)

Meanwhile, I started playing vanilla WoW on private server, just kill me now

EDIT: I've been meaning to play through all the dark souls games but I heard that you really need a controller (which I don't have) to play the first one, so I guess I need to snatch a cheap one from somewhere, any recommendations?

 

[undecaf]

Oh, I played Grim Dawn too (didn't finish that either yet, that seems to be how I play games these days...). It's nice'ish timeburner H&S, but it gets repetitive quite fast.

 

[OSK]

None. I'm still catching up on 2015 games.

You don't need a controller for DS. You only need DSFIX. I played all 3 DS games with mouse and keyboard just fine.

 

[Sensuki]

Played Dungeon Rats. Didn't finish because I moved / haven't had my PC for a month. Might get back to it at some point.

I have created a character in the Expeditions: Viking beta, but I haven't played it yet.

 

[Tom Baker's Arse]

Wow, this is grim. Dungeon Rats, Warlock of Firetop Mountain, and Sorcery! ... and I spent today, Christmas Eve Day enjoying the Dark Side of Xeen

 

[NeoKino]

Dork Souls, Witcher, Dudesex and tranny. Tranny rubbed me the wrong way, It was too busy sucking and beating me over the head with political message IDGAF about. I am not into S&M much so I decided to stop playing 12 hours, Probably was half way in I heard that shit was shorter than an oriental midget's penis.

Mediocre gameplay and trash character creation system made leveling unbearable ,its meh plot isn't even worth storyfagging over. When I looked at spoilers after I quit you would expect a huge climax at the end but the whole thing putter out; The whole game was running blank on gameplay, content, and even story.

 

[Tito Anic]

Why there is no "Fallout 1.5: Resurrection" on the list? People, here on Codex, say it is solid game.

 

[Morality Games]

The only one I tried to play was Tyranny, which I haven't gotten very far in. I enjoyed the Witcher series, but the pointless quasi open world in III pushed it beyond the event horizon of playability for me. I finished White March Pt. 1 and will start Pt. 2 as soon as I have consisent access to my desktop again (laptop loading times for Pillars push it beyond the event horizon of playability). Mankind Divided was too expensive for what it is until recently, but I will probably pick it up in early 2017. Dark Souls III would probably be fun to play but I suck at Souls games (or really any action RPG that isn't 2D or a FPS) so I haven't even beaten the first one yet. I imagine I'll play it sooner or later. Some of those other games would be cool, but are pointless to me (why Necropolis when I haven't beat Dark Souls, why Salt and Sanctuary when there are still DS Castlevanias I haven't beaten, etc) at the time of writing.

I expect 2017's most important RPGs (Torment, D:OS II, Expeditions) will have more mileage with me.

 

[Darth Roxor]

this is certainly a prestigious as fugg list

only dunjin rats for me

 

[valcik]

I've touched Darkest Dung, gave up somewhere in 1/3 and never finished it.
Filthy mobile market gaem.

 

[nikolokolus]

Warlock of Firetop Mtn., and Sorcery! Were fun.

Then I tried Tranny on steam for a couple of hours and then quickly got a refund.

 

[toro]

bad year for rpgs and games in general. a lot of garbage was released.

i'm waiting for underrail expansion.

 

[Invictus]

Darkest Dungeon was fun for awhile but way too grindy
Dragons Dogma was such a great solid game that I replayed it straight away
Started Dungeon Rats but had pause during the hollidays
Really liked Tyranny and felt it was a refreshing take on the PoE gameplay, finished it too
Enjoyed Dark Souls 3 but not as good as the original
All in all I rather prefered to replay a favorite game like Stalker or Metal Gear V or try a good game I had never played before (like Arkham Asylum) than to pay full price for new games nowadays... bought the Nathan Drake collection over a month ago and simply have not gotten around to even taking off the wrapping

 

[Severian Silk]

I wait for games to drop below $10-$20 before I play them mostly.

 

[Shadenuat]

Damn this year blows

 

[Invictus]

Damn this year blows

Yeah but somehow I dont mind that much, after the first kickstarter games hit they produced good maybe even great games but nothing like a timeless classic and since my gaming time is becoming a bit limited I rather replay something I know I am going to enjoy or try a new mod than pay full price for a new game
Anyway I have such a big backlog of games that I probably wouldnt mind nor need new games
Still dream about playing Grimoire though...
