A List of RPGs - A Codex Collaboration

[Abu Antar]

I will consider formatting once I have more entries up.

Should I include Tactical games like the X-Coms, HoMMs, and other tactical games?

About emulated games, no PS3 or other console exclusive games. Old home computer games might make it.

Maybe begin with the Codex Top 100 RPGs and once you have those, you decide what else to add.

A reasonable suggestion.

A single short quote about the game from a dev would be cool as well if something like that exists of course. Just a fun thing to add flair.

Like:

Johnny Developer: "The development ruined my life and killed my father, but I'm glad it got done"

 

[Vic]

Johnny Developer: "The development ruined my life and killed my father, but I'm glad it got done"

this makes me think how many devs made significant sacrifices in their lives to push a game out and then it just flopped. Must be tough.

That is why I think it would be a nice addition, even if my sentence was meant as a joke. It could provide some quick insight into the development.

Could be difficult to find for each game. Here is one:

"Grimoire ... 20 YEARS of work, turned into living hell making me pray for death."

Where's God of War Ragnarok? It surely has more skills and builds than Gothic.

Will this list be using self identification as what is an RPG on borderline cases or cases where codex thread isn't on CRPG?

For example Renowned Explorers: International Society which has thread on strategy section of Codex, but on Steam it's tagged as RPG (GOG gives it tactical RPG-tag).

There is much to contemplate in general. I'm leaning towards havibg that on the list.

That would be cool, but it would be too much work, I think.

I added a few more games. There are now 13 updated games in the list. Only 9987 games to go.

Thanks to all of the people helping.

I won't be doing update posts on which games I have added, or should I? It feels like it would be too spammy.

 

[Alienman]

That would be cool, but it would be too much work, I think.

Yeah, I agree, if you try to find one for every game. But for certain select if you know a good quote.

We will see what happens. It could be a thing once there is a bigger list. I am already adding stuff to the few games I have listed.
