Didn't hurt D:OS in 2014.

This RPGOTY will be a challenge... Twitcher 3 potatoes, Fallout 4 trolls, Pillars of Eternity sawyerites, Shadowrun:HK fanboys, Age of Decadence worshipers, D:OS/W2 Director's Cut slowpokes, Way of the Samurai 4 & Lighting Returns weaboos, cursed Serpent in the Staglands fans and Undertale tumblrinas.

2015 is a damn good year. The butthurt on the voting methodology & results will be something for the ages...

Didn't hurt D:OS in 2014.

D:OS didn't actually have any non-wall-of-text competition in the top five. At least not by that thread's definition of "wall of text".

 

[Blaine]

It doesn't matter what human garbage thinks of their digital garbage. Their opinions and their rubbish are discarded.

Underrail is rivaled only by Age of Decadence, and everything else is unimportant.

 

[Kem0sabe]

Isn't he guaranteed it this year? Next year has Torment has a potential competitor.

Torment is no competition for underrail... Underrail has no competition from the last decade of crpg gaming.

Let's hope the Legends of Eisenwald and Banner Saga 2 devs don't notice this post.

Another gentleman from steam shares his views, this time in more words and coherent sentences!

I played the demo a couple of years ago but have no recollection of the combat being hard. Has it become so?

In contrast. The game is currently pretty damn easy. Next patch will feature harder difficulty modes and rebalance.

Oh yeah, forgot that Eisenwald got out o Early Acess. And the Banner Saga devs aren't in speaking terms with the Codex since they did a 180 in their KS goals from "more depth to inventories" to "muh live orchestra!".

Neither are really RPG. I mean, if they're RPG, you need to also include something like Renowned Explorers (which, in terms of being actually fun to play, fucks pretty much everything that has gone out this year).

 

[pakoito]

Is Stagland's combat better than PoE's? I'm spoiled by LoT2 and D:OS

 

[Infinitron]

According to at least one PoE reviewer, no.

P.S. Bubbles, just FYI, I'm not sure BS2 is actually coming out this year.

Of course RE is an RPG, but the Codex doesn't seem to be very interested in it.

Has Styg mentioned if he would consider touching up the story elements/C&C?

Some of the criticism I've seen, has been about the story. People sayin' it's sufficient and fitting, but not really mindblowingly deep or interesting.

It wouldn't hurt to add abit extra flavour in that department.

Yeah. Much of the quality of writing criticism has been targeted at the early game and specifically early game NPCs. Pretty sure there are going to be touch-ups when the devs get to revamping the early content.

But the story only really kicks in once the player returns the drill parts and the south metro tunnel is cleared. I doubt that'll fundamentally change. As for C&C, there's a good bit of it even in Junkyard, so I really don't know what people are expecting.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Would be suicide to release Fallout 3: Underrail alongside Fallderp 4.

 

[Blaine]

Why? No one who's excited about "Fallout" 4 would be interested in Underrail.

Bethesda isn't even pretending anymore. It's basically The Sims with guns and visuals ripped off from F1/2 art assets.

Very accurate. Very.

Allright, thanks for clearing that up

Storyfags, storyfags never change.

 

[Latro]

I'm expecting undertale to be no. 6 or 7 with the review caption being "unfortunately codex only likes "traditional" crpg combat blah blah blah, great storyfag game blah blah blah combatfags don't know what they're missing blah blah blah give it a chance blah blah if there were more weebs this would be no.2 or no.3"

Patience, dudes... soon(tm)...

I'm in the same boat as Blaine only I have no patience and I'm going to start a new char.
I played as...
Heavy Assualt
SMG
Heavy Knifer
Heavy Sledge
Psi
Hybrids of the above

Any other builds worth trying out?
