    Game News Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Inevitable Excess DLC Released

    People pretending to be surprised that the Wrath of the Righteous DLC map is pretty much the EXACT same as the one for Kingmaker shows just how much cognitive dissonance people are willing to engage in so they can be pissed about something. It was made ABUNDANTLY clear this was going to be...

    Game News Wasteland 3: Cult of the Holy Detonation Released

    Since 90% of the people here seem to hate every game Obsidian, Larian and inExile made over the past 5 or 6 years, I don't know what "ominous" even means.

    Game News New KotOR incoming

    It was a BG1 add-on, but don't let a little thing like accuracy get in the way of your narrative.

    Lilura's Blog: An Ongoing Codexian Obsession

    This basically ignores everything about it's influences and development history, and......it's not supposed to be complex.

    Game News Aeolwyn's Legacy is a Might & Magic VI-like blobber by New World Computing veteran Tim Lang

    Might & Might IX was not bad because of some core design flaw. It's the exact same gameplay loop as VI-VIII. The problem was the game was rushed out the door in what can only be described as a pre-alpha build for release. With the hindsight of a couple decades of patches, it's no more a...

    Game News Cancelled NWN premium module Tyrants of the Moonsea completed and released by Ossian after 13 years

    Debunked by none other than Ed Greenwood, but what the hell would he know, he only invented the fucking setting.

    Community The RPG Codex's Top 101 PC RPGs (With User Reviews!)

    The first two games are not only CRPG royalty, they are PC gaming royalty in general. You may not LIKE the genre it spawned, but it took the basic skeleton or Rogue and made something entirely unique. Matt Uelman's soundtracks in the first two games alone are worth more than the price of...

    Community The RPG Codex's Top 101 PC RPGs (With User Reviews!)

    I'm sorry, I don't care how much of an elitist snob you are about ARPGs, the idea that Kingdom Come: Deliverance is 30 spots above Diablo 2 is absolute lunacy. But it's not just that. It that Battle Brothers and fucking Elminage Gothic are ahead of it as well. And frankly, any list that doesn't...

    Community The RPG Codex's Top 101 PC RPGs (With User Reviews!)

    This update is pathetic. Take the top-70 list and then basically just arbitrarily plop down games released in the last 5 years, to the point where th Pillars and D:OS series are basically treated as one game. Age of Decadence as the 11th best RPG of all-time. Yeah. Sure thing.

    Bard's Tale The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep - Director's Cut

    Wizardry I-V polished up in the same fashion would sell like hotcakes to a certain audience, especially since they aren't even digitally available by any legal means.

    Bard's Tale The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep - Director's Cut

    That was a thought I had this afternoon, but then I realized I would probably just be trading one buggy mess for another.

    Bard's Tale The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep - Director's Cut

    This is, in fact, exactly what happened. I bought my Helios 300 laptop (not top of a line, but a GTX 1060 that set me back a $1000) specifically so I could run most new games coming out for the next couple years on high settings at an acceptable frame-rate. Bard's Tale IV was one of those games...

    Bard's Tale The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep - Director's Cut

    I bought it, along with Graveyard Keeper (which I like simply from a concept level) with my refund money from IV. No regrets.

    Bard's Tale The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep - Director's Cut

    To be perfectly frank, there IS an inXile game people should buy, that is tied to this one. The Bard's Tale Trilogy remastered is excellent (even though we only have the first game for now), and is costs $20 less. It is not only everything you would hope a modern remaster of a blobber would be...
