RPG Codex Game of the Year 2015 - VOTING HAS BEGUN [AUTISM ALERT]

[CryptRat]

It was translated in 2014, not this year.

That's a good reason not to include it, then . I edited my post, there is probably no mistake left, unless I missed some game was in beta phase/Early access.

 

[felipepepe]

Ok, added Cryptrat's suggestions, which bring us to 55 games. Wow, that's likely more RPGs than we had during the entire 00's.

 

[Irenaeus II]

"RPGs"

Honestly, I can only think of 3 RPGs this year on the top of my head, AoD > PoE > SitS

 

[LESS T_T]

More suggestions:

Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim, Wave of Darkness, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, Caribbean!, Agarest: Generations of War 2, The Legend of Candlewind: Nights & Candles , Citizens of Earth

Fallout 4

At least the "decent" ones.

On a sidenote - does TBS like Invisible Inc count? Hard West at least has this whole CYOA thing aside from RPGlite elements.

There's no RPGlite elements in Hard West at all, wtf.

Touche. There's.. inventory management!

But still - kinda reinforces the point.

Madman.

 

[Irenaeus II]

Stop linking non-RPGs with some RPG elements to RPG lists. It's lame.

 

[Fairfax]

The award could use more categories, no? Best Story, Best Combat System, Biggest Disappointment, Biggest Surprise, etc.

 

[abnaxus]

Raidy 3 I guess.

 

[felipepepe]

Think of it as a purity test for the Codex. I'm only placing them on a list, it's the Codex's own votes who will determine their worthiness.

Moar liek "Best console port", "Best remaster", "Bets Tacticool RPG", "BEST TR00 INCLINE RPG"...

 

[SausageInYourFace]

Why are games like Invisible Inc. or Mordheim on Felipes list even though by our own standards they are relegated to the strategy subforum? And thats just two. I don't even know where I'd put a game like Sunless Sea.

Not that we couldnt have a vote for favorite strategy game, adventure game, etc.

(inb4 what is an RPG)

Edit:

Won't work. People who played a game like Invisible Inc. will vote for it because they liked it (and its fucking great) and by virtue of it being in the poll and we will end up with Strategy games in our RPG list.

 

[Fairfax]

Best Molepopper.

 

[Onholyservicebound]

AoD>W2: DC:D:D:D:D>D:OS:EE>PoE

 

[Zed]

if you're already compiling lists, please keep track of any listing criteria in a footnote or something

 

[pippin]

That's a lot of rpg-ish games, but some reason I felt more excited about games last year.

 

[Irenaeus II]

You are growing up.

 

[Makabb]

Wild hunt got official GOTY award and best rpg of 2015

 

[Fairfax]

1. AoD
2. SitS
3. S:HK

GT: FO4

Call me Mystic Fax, 'cause I predict deez tings.

 

[Makabb]

 

[Xathrodox86]

Next year will be the year of Deus Ex, but for this I'd say it's PoE. Keep FO4 and Witcher 3 away from me, please.

 

[Irenaeus II]

Next year will be the year of Deus Ex,

Why?

 

[Neanderthal]

Wild Hunt were alright, l couldn't ignore it but there were some serious issues wi it, and consolism was showing through pretty fucking strong. Need a shit ton of mods to enjoy it, thanks to Perkel, so I couldn't really say it was game of year except in certain parts. Meanwhile i'm starting my second playthrough of AoD, and I don't see me getting tired of this, so unless i'm blinded by my first impressions i'd stick this up as game of year.

Actually I've played some decent stuff this year (SiTS, Telepath Tactics, Voidspire Tactics for instance) but nothing that I enjoyed as much as D:OS, Wasteland 2 or even Blackguards. I haven't played AoD nor Undertale yet, so there's still hope.
