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

[SionIV]

Gothic for me. I just can't deal with the controls of that game. I've tried so many times to get into that game and understand what people see in it, but i can't get past the controls. I'm not picky when it comes to games and have played several games that aren't very popular or liked, but I can't handle those damn controls in Gothic.

Having the same brofist ratio as u and me I beg to differ.(unless he gambled it on UT)

 

[imweasel]

Can't vote because Pillars of Shitternity is missing.

Brofists are not the only measure of a codexers worth.

Not even good for what it is?

* Planescape Torment (too much dialogue, yucky atmosphere)
* Fallout (I might like it if the criticals hadn't mostly ruined the fun.. I did finish it though)
Note: These're just my opinions. Nobody can speak for others and I don't claim to.

The only other game I've played on that list is Morrowind.

I'm in the process of playing Baldurs Gate 1, so would be able to issue an opinion in a week or two. I'm only in chapter 2 right now. My impression so far are ok, although some initial fights are unwinnable maybe. Also not fan of the stat/skill system. But it doesn't feel like the atrocity Planescape Torment was. There're few games which bored me so much.

I have Fallout 2 but haven't played yet.

I can understand the dislike for Baldur's Gate 2 but I don't think I'll ever understand why people dislike Baldur's Gate. It's a pretty simple game that delivers exactly what it's supposed to, a D&D experience in a fantasy world. It's one of the few games where every level is important, especially when you're at a low level. You run away from everything at the start, a wolf, gibberling, a bandit with a bow is your worst nightmare and let's not even mention that ogre which can easily destroy an entire party if you're not prepared. It delivers simple and addictive combat with a very good difficulty curve, once you get a few levels and some decent gear you'll notice how creatures that used to be challenging are now easier, but there are even more challenging creatures to come. It also happens to have one of those 'perfect' expansions that just fit so well into the original game, a 'vacation' to this tropical island or a trip to a castle which is huge dungeon and have an interesting story around it, hell even the mage island is interesting from a combat point of view with high level (for Baldur's Gate) mages that can turn your party into mush.

It's like complaining that your microwave can't make a five star dinner on its own. When it comes to Baldur's Gate, what you see is what you're going to get. Throw in some imagination and you're up for a nice fantasy adventure.

I don't think Pillars of Eternity is overrated on here, at least not yet. The median response seems to be a somewhat average game. I suppose a polished turd could be considered average.

So PoE is overrated.

The fanboys of the game are highly overrating it..

So PoE is overrated.

 

[Sensuki]

Yes well, a lot of them invested a fair bit of money into it and probably just don't want to face reality which is what results in a lot of the apologetic posts from them. Some on the other hand just have bad gameplay preferences in general.

This topic gave me cancer an idea .
How about we create a new poll: "Most overrated users on codex" ? I am sure that it will be more fun .

 

[Lhynn]

Darth Roxor voted dragonfall

Its the monster you created man.

 

[Excidium II]

Thanks for reminding, forgot to vote for it. And blackguards, wtf. That's the most overrated one.

 

[Irenaeus II]

So Fallout 2 is the less overrated game of the list.

 

[laclongquan]

So Fallout 2 is the less overrated game of the list.

But of course~

On another note, if we gather enough votes for this, we can make an addition detail for the top 70 rpg list.

 

[Rake]

So Fallout 2 is the less overrated game of the list.

Fallout 2 is the second best game ever, so it deserves it.

I don't think blackguards is that overrated, the sequel probably killed off the series for the foreseeable future. It's an average game that received average reception.
