sumguy, disliking a sub-genre of games and disliking the games released in the sub-genre are not the same...
Had thinking been part of your abilities you would have realised this site houses individuals with different opinions.
give this man a madel and a medalI like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. Everything else is the devil.sumrepetitiveguy said:you guys you guys you guys you guys you guys
If you meant Baldur's Gate and it's ilk that "revitalised" the genre, then you'll meet more criticism than praise.
He was used to take bullets meant for someone else and died.Take Human Shield for example. He made 2,000 posts over ten years (2003 - 2013) then just packed it in. Why? What drove him away? Or is he still here with a new username? I want to know dammit!
Just out of curiousity, is there any game you guys don't hate?
Can't forget our agreeance about the greatness of Skyrim.Just out of curiousity, is there any game you guys don't hate?
There is a widely accepted Codex Consesus that Pillars of Eternity by star developer Josh Sawyer is a modern classic and one of the greatest RPGs of all time. Aside from that, you will have trouble finding people agreeing on anything, particularly controversial shite like Planetescape: Tournament or the terrible first Fallout.
How about obediah? 5K posts between January 2005 and 12/24/2011. What happened on Christmas Eve 2011 to cause him to never return? 12/24 makes me think he just up and ended it all in a drunken cry for help but no one really knows.
fake edit: Looked and saw his last post was in the library on 11/29/11 (I had a post 2 replies later!). What happened to you obediah? I worry about you buddy.
BG and Torment were adventure games masquerading as RPGs
Man, revisiting those old threads is a blast. I remember getting a new asshole ripped for praising Morrowind. Back then, all I heard was "Oh, it's dumbed down...Daggerfall was so much better." Looking at the forums now, it's funny to see people say "Oh Morrowind is the shit, everything else after that was dumbed down." Those were the times. Codex hatred at its finest. And FYI - the only game the codex does not hate is the original Fallout. BG and Torment were adventure games masquerading as RPGs. Geneforge was the shit. That's all I can recall for now.
Didn't the Codex always consist of Infinity Engine fanboys, to a considerable extent? Of course, the 2002 Codex did have enough sense to pick Morrowind as its 2nd-best RPG of the Year, behind only Geneforge. Evidence that many early Codexers rejected Biowarean decline.Exactly. They still are. Whatever, this forum has turned into IE fanbois and ppl will rate me edgy for saying that.
What I like about these necro's is looking back at the old guys who used to post.
