    what was the last *great* RPG??

    Alright alright. Could be Witcher, could be just ASOIAF, I don't know. But it feels like all the mainstream RPGs are definately moving into a direction where things have to be "mature" in some way. Are they really mature, probably not, but that's what they try to come off as.

    what was the last *great* RPG??

    Looks like the thread should've been titled "The most recent CRPG you finished and liked". Shouldn't a great game differ from a good or a very good game by not just being good, but also by having a huge impact on it's own genre? That's at least what comes to my mind when I think of a *great*...

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

    I played Icewind Dale through first time only a year ago or so, right after finishing Expeditions and SRR. It was like cold water against your face after those two okayish types of CRPGs. When you reviewed it, it wasn't an 'alright' or 'pretty good' or 'okay' type of game, no. That game felt...

    RPG Codex - Top 50 WORST RPGs YOU'VE PLAYED vote thread

    I don't think I can ever finish Neverwinter Nights' main campaign without alcohol, it's awful. It's so bad it makes you laugh and physically hurt at the same time. Maybe someday though. The game feels like it is a shitty C-grade Forgotten Realms novel turned into a game and it makes me kind of...

    This sentence alone was enough for me. :lol:

    Game News Logic Artists reveal Expeditions: Conquistador sequel - Expeditions: Viking

    Jesus, probably the only setting I didn't expect. Oh well. Give me some rape and pillage and magic mushrooms and all that good stuff.

    Dwarf Fortress - Adventure Mode

    Played the adventure mode some time ago, don't know how it's changed in 6 months or so, but I do remember the combat being tight as shit. Honestly, I love it how if you get hit by practically anything it's almost guaranteed that bodypart sails off in an arc. You seriously have to pick your...

    Pillars of Eternity Thread [Pre-Expansion]

    Here's a podcast from Sawyer circa the launch of PoE. Maybe it has been posted on Codex, but after searching I didn't find anything so I'll leave it here anyway. http://www.incgamers.com/2015/03/pillars-of-eternity-interview-with-josh-sawyer :troll:

    PoE Sales Analysis Thread

    I think if Bethesda hadn't reached their consoleaudience/sold less, they would've been forced to consider what their core fanbase wanted. And I also think Bethesda does think a bit what their fans want, after all they've stuck with "hiking simulators" even to this day, just more suited for...

    PoE Sales Analysis Thread

    Well there you have it yourself, Bioware. But look, this isn't about romances or fans really demanding things to be changed, it's more about the gradual change in the fanbase and how it's going to reflect the design decisions in the end. I mean you even said it yourself with your Bethesda...

    PoE Sales Analysis Thread

    No doubt at the end of the 1990's people thought the same way, I sure know I did. What new fans want could deviate a lot from what you want. They most likely are much younger than you are and could be that have never even played BG2 or anything else done previously to that and probably sees...

    Obsidian or inXile

    You misunderstood me, I'm not saying they should get rid of anything. I'm saying that now that we have seen TB and RTWP RPGs again, the fans aren't going to settle for a mediocre or an alright game that just happens to have TB-combat. The next thing for them to do is to build upon the existing...

    Obsidian or inXile

    While I share the sentiment that a game is better than no game at all, standards are and should be higher for the second generation KS CRPGs or anything else that follows this. Now that the devs can't ride on nostalgia factor anymore the only way for them to go is to improve by every game they...
