The List of Incline - 2015 Edition

[himmy]

I voted several, pretty much the usual suspects, but I have great hopes for D:OS and Eisenwald. I played enough of the alpha to know that it will be Larian's best game to date and I believe it will receive a better appraisal from the Codex than Wasteland 2, Dead State or AoD, to compare it to its turn-based peers.

Also, Eisenwald just looks really appealing, I don't know why that is. I start drooling just by thinking of it.

Also, my prediction is that PoE is the one that will enjoy the highest level of critical and commercial success, if it manages to get released without crippling bugs.

Where's Quest for Infamy? Frontiers?

 

[Gozma]

I'm gonna be butthurt when Dead State sucks, the concept had a lot of potential to put me in an X-Com zone. The fact that they're letting the dinosaur arm woman artist keep working making bad portraits tells me Mitsoda is letting shitters work on stuff they suck at

Seriously, there are small indie RPGs worth attention, for trying to do something different or reproduce good old fun:

Unrest (Codex thread)
Release Date: June 26th, 2014
Set in Ancient India. Play as ordinary people struggling for safety and food.

Balrum (Codex thread)
Release Date: Fall, 2014
Isometric open world fantasy RPG with building, farming and crafting.

Starcrawlers (Codex thread)
Release Date: Late 2014
Sci-fi turn-based, procedurally-generated blobber.

Sui Generis (Codex thread)
Release Date: 2014

Release Date: Early 2015
Gothic roguelike RPG about the psychological stresses of adventuring.

The Mandate (Codex thread)
Release Date: Early 2015
Space opera RTS+RPG with crew and ship management. Possible Mass Effect-done-right. (Actually the team looks not that small, but.)

Prisonscape (Codex thread)
Release Date: 2015?
Brutal RPG set in prison.

Frayed Knights 2
Release Date: TBA
Sequel to the comedic, Wiazrdry-like dungeon crawler. Rare non-grid blobber.

[Gakkone]

Voted for everything but Grimoire. After all I'm not religious.

 

[King Crispy]

Grimoire 22 vote(s) 31.9%

 

[Zed]

Age of Decadence
Divinity: Original Sin
Pillars of Eternity
Serpent in the Staglands
Torment: Tides of Numenera

Among RPGs not listed, I think Antharion is looking pretty neato.

 

[commie]

The Witcher 3

/end thread

OP is a faggot for not including it.

 

[Dorateen]

The message of Grimoire is foolishness to those who are perishing.

 

[Severian Silk]

Are Xenonauts and JA: Flashback considered more strategy games than RPGs or is there another reason they aren't on the list?

Both games lack a clear protagonist and thus are offensive to the Codex's storyfags.

 

[Infinitron]

Crooked Bee Add Banner Saga to released list?

 

[HiddenX]

You missed: Ghost of a Tale

 

[Direwolf]

Pillars for me.

 

[MicoSelva]

All of them. Some, more than others, though.

 

[iZerw]

Wasteland 2 will be mediocre at best when Grimoire is the next best thing after Wizardry VII. Still W2 - 61%, Grimoire - 32.4%.

 

[Abu Antar]

The bold games are the most interesting ones.
Age of Decadence - I like the concept but will wait for full release.
Dead State - Brian Mitsoda
Divinity: Original Sin - I liked Divine divinity and Divinity 2. I think I am going to like this.
Pillars of Eternity (aka Project Eternity) - Infinity Engine inspired rpg by Obsidian.
Torment: Tides of Numenera - Either this will be amazing or shit all over Planescape's legacy.
Underrail - I like the concept but will wait for full release.
Wasteland 2 - Turn-based post apocalyptic rpg.

But there are many others I am interested in.

 

[Infinitron]

Wasteland 2 will be mediocre at best when Grimoire is the next best thing after Wizardry VII. Still W2 - 61%, Grimoire - 32.4%.

Apparently, the cumulative effect of the "Wasteland 2 defamation campaign" is about 12 votes on this poll.

 

[undecaf]

D:OS
T:ToN
WL2
PoE

Basically the games I pledged (too much) for in Kickstarter; excluding Dead State which I'm not really looking forward to all that much (I'll see if I should have once it's ready).

 

[treborSux]

Underrail looks kind of cool, just kind of lame they didn't go with a multi-platform engine.

Divinity: Original Sin looks ok, I'll probably wait for people to shit on it though so I have an excuse not to play it.

Wasteland 2 looks amazing and shitty at the same time.

The only game I voted for was Grimoire, because it outclasses everything else with release dates and isometric graphics

 

[shiteatingnippledick]

Voted for:

Age of Decadence: After playing the first open beta I fell instantly in love for it. Just brought back all those good memories from fallouts and some text based adventures I've played in such way that i've been really having to hold myself for not playing the recent beta updates.

Dead State: Haven't played it yet but bought it already. Good promises, kind of stiff with the updates tho which is shame.

Divinity: Original Sin: Seems like solid AAA product overall. Can't wait to play this shit.

Grimoire: Good or not, whether it is coming out or not. Lulz have been had and if coming out more lulz is gonna be had. Will not disappoint I'm sure.

Legend of Grimrock 2: Enjoyed the first game. Kind of getting trampled over these other awesome games but if it is gonna deliver more or less the same it's gonna be enjoyable experience.

Serpent in the Staglands: Wouldn't have noticed this without Codex. Seems like it's gonna be very fun game made with love for darklands and the like.

Underrail: Played it a little and the same with AoD just fell in love instantly. For the price it's the best game in the the list in my opinion.

Torment, Wasteland 2, Pillars of Eternity: Haven't followed them much because I really just want to play them without any prior knowledge. I could not be without playing these considering the pedigree they have.


Didn't vote for Legends of Eisenwald but it seems like solid game but nothing really exciting personally.

 

[Jagged Appliance]

W2 has more votes than Underrail?

That could only be because you haven't played Underrail.

 

[Marquess Cornwallis]

Underrail, Original Sin & AoD are my top picks, but I'm looking forward to at least giving a try to all of them (especially seeing as I've already pre-ordered 10 out of 13).

Ah yes, those gullible fools!

I just kicked down $35.00 for the Collector Edition. I'm really excited about the full game.
...
Cleve, do not disappoint me. May (Thursday) can't come soon enough!

 

[King Crispy]

I've never claimed not to be a gullible fool.

P.S. You stalker.

 

[Essegi]

What about KOTC 2 ? Any particular reason it isn't included on the list ?

Probably has something to do with the fact that we know next to nothing about it, to the point where most people probably don't even know it's in development

In the last update BlueSalamander said that all editors are completed and now he's focusing on the game itself.
I think that with AoD and maybe Underrail (wich i've both voted here) is the crpg i'm expecting more. Yet it makes sense to exclude it from the list.

I voted also: Grimoire, LoG2, Lords of Xultima, Serpents in the Staglands.
I was going to vote D:OS and Eisenwald too, but i've not followed them enough and i didn't want to vote all.:D

Sui Generis (Codex thread)
