It's a differen't subgenre. Comparing them is pointless.Darth Roxor said:Awor Szurkrarz said:Yeah, no one made a game that can beat a flawed but still great 1997 cRPG in fucking 13 years. FuckingHobo Elf said:.
Oh, but they did. Four years later, too.
And it barely made it to the twelfth place around here
Plancescape: Torment should be #1, but fuck that shit, Bloodlines making it as #4 is massive incline.
I bet Jaesun ignored the ToB votes when he should have added BG2+ToB

Do we have an argument for why Bloodlines is good but Bioware stuff is bad? It used to be that the "player skills" retards (shit up tactics rnt player skills) held the line but I don't really see how to do it anymore if we like Bloodlines. Is there like a qualitative difference besides just the writing being better?

Nice try, but no. If I was really going to "fudge" the numbers I would have put Bloodlines in the Holy Trinity™. I was really hoping it might make it in there, but alas no. Fucking close though.

If someone listed BGII and also BGII TOB I PM'ed the appropriate people and told them I combined them into one and asked for a revised top 5 list from them. Same with Ultima VII Part 1 and 2.
To be honest I fully expected Ultima VII part 1 and 2 and BG II and TOB to score much higher than they did. That was my reasoning. That's why I originally separated them.

Same as the difference between Baldur's Gate II and the rest of Bioware's stuff I suppose. Baldur's Gate II had an open world, supported multiple builds and solutions, and was quite huge in terms of content. Now compare this to the stuff the Codex' has in mind when it uses the term Biowhore.
Incidentally, are you trying to compare Bloodlines to Mass Effect and Dragon Age? In that case I might have to gun you down on open street. Hope you don't mind.

:D It's a fantastic game and remake. I hope you enjoy it (and the incredible music).

It saddens me to see MotB get less love than Torment...

Yes, U5 Lazarus is great. I really enjoyed that game.
As to BG II and ToB, I love BG II but don't really care all too much about ToB. High level D&D was never my thing.
Regarding the top 5, I'm not all too suprised. The Codex sometimes looks a bit like a fansite for those games
. I guess I will have to play one or two of them one day :D.

Honestly half my enjoyment of games like Fallout or PS:T was like "this is the next step... games are going to be fuck amazing" I can never sit and write a fellation post for those games to make doubters appreciate them because I honestly never cared about the flaws that are so apparent to me now; they just seemed like vestigial organs that were eventually going to be sloughed away even without anyone's intent to do so. Now that I believe that games are going to be a terrible medium forever what's the point of criticism?

Yeah, with nine votes, probably all Volly and Skyway alts. No reason to cry wolf yet.

I didn't care vote a third time, but my vote would hardly tipped the balance on this one.
