Most overrated crpgs on codex that likaq doesn't like ( poll )

[Eirikur]

I'd be interested in forming a lynch mob posse to go after those 21 bastards who voted for the Gothic series. Volunteers may PM me their names and numbers, and I'll get in touch. Remember to pack some lunch just in case, though I suspect the perpetrators are holed up together in the same vile nest like the rats that they are, so travel time should be shorter than expected.

So you're one of those people dumb enough to not even understand that "overrated game" totally doesn't mean "bad game", ok.

Still, Arcanum remains my favorite game for detecting try-hards and "prestigious" newfags when it comes to crpgs. People who actually know its true, untainted, release taste tend to sing a completely different song

I played it on release. Never had any problem beating it, tho i did miss a ton of things. And im one of those people that has realized that this thread was made to shit all over games edgytards dont like without making a good case for that, tho maybe you havent caught on to that.

I myself am a newfag of CRPGs as I've only been playing them for a few years, but that doesn't disqualify my observations. Why would it?

What difference does it make that Arcanum was buggy at release? That tends to happen to ambitious games, and Arcanum is as ambitious as they come. When it comes to C&C and reactivity, no other game, aside from FO2, even comes close. Plus, I played it vanilla and I didn't run into any major issues, which was incredible considering all the logistics going on underneath the hood.

Surprised TOEE is not in the poll. It's widely praised on the codex, inspite of being boring as shit.

The temple itself is good and the combat is still the best you can find in pretty much any RPG.

 

[Night Goat]

ToEE does have perhaps the best adaptation of PNP rules ever made in a CRPG, but if a game isn't interesting from the beginning it's a failure.

 

[stony3k]

Agreed that the combat is good, and that's exactly why it's overrated here. I don't know how many people have been able to slog through Hommlet to even get to the good parts.

The TLDR of this thread ; crpgs are overrated.

Fallout: NV is underrated, too many retards hate it because of it's Bethesda engine, when it has more player agency, c&c, better writing, character building and story with more content and production values than any other Fallout game, and RPG in general. Besides that, it's modding community is second to none, I'd rate it higher than Skyrim's, something like EVE or Weapons of the new Millenia crush awful shit mods like immersive armors or weapons.

Witcher on the other hand, has some cheesy awful edgy writing. (PLOUGH, PLOUGH, PLOUGH!!!!) Retarded biowarean degeneracy in it's awkward as hell romance scenes, an obsession with sex that rivals that of a horny acne ridden 13 year old, and generally could only cater to that crowd. Along with mind numbingly stupid combat, no character creation whatsoever(And an awful mary sue weeb looking main character fag that looks like he was conceived on Deviantart) and terribad voice acting/facial animations, it's way overrated. I understand that it's supposed to have great c&c, (And the later titles have great visuals) but I couldn't be arsed to slog through the awful game design long enough to actually get to it. I blame the the over abundance of potatoes in the RPG genre for it's popularity.

The only thing I remember about Twitcher 1 is that it took for fucking ever to walk from place to place and that wasn't fun.

Why isn't PoE still here?
Is it only now accepted as a bad game?
