If we apply the concept of Pareto Distribution to RPGs and consider 80% to be retarded/incompetent Elder Scrolls gamers, and the Codex to be among the 20% of competent high brow monocled gamers...how is it that the Codex didn't raise more money to throw at Sawyer and Inxile to make better games during the attempted Kickstarter renaissance?. Out of curiosity - how many Jews belong to the Codex?.

The Assassin Creed games were always just next generation RPG games uncluttered by stats, attributes, and rules.

It really pisses me off when the most IMPORTANT aspects of RPGs are completely ignored by developers:

- Amazing graphics capable of pushing my high-end gaming rig to its limits

- Full support for SLI (duh)

- Emotional and literal immersion into the game through the use of little things like being able to see my feet!!

- Treating me as a gamer as a real person who cares about compassion and loyalty OUTSIDE and INSIDE the games I choose to play

GAWD

too obvious, sorry. I know LGs tend to have issues with practicing deception though, so it's understandable.

Tides of Numenera's intro made me puke.

And again after the first battle.

In fact, Tyranny is the real Planescape : Torment successor and even failed at the same thing, eventually, the battle system.

People inside this forum claim to be elitists and with great taste in rpg games

but...

they appreciate witcherino and pillars of eternity

And actually claim their writing is good

God, grant me strength

Turnbased is literally just a slow and clunky version of RTwP. The 'turn' mechanic just slows things down and introduces arbitrary constraints on what can be done, when. People prefer turnbased because they are control freaks who get stressed easily, and they also seem to not know what autopause is, or complain about 'spam pauses' when turnbased means there's effectively pauses all the fucking time while you sit and watch a single unit move at a time, jesus christ I feel triggered just thinking about how SLOW it is.

Witcher 1 & 2 are the best witcher games, while Witcher 3 is the most disappointing title of the series.

Underrail is a boring game
