Also can we PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT DISCO ELYSIUM. I don't care if you like or hate it I just want it to STOP. I am fed up of hearing about it and the shit it stirs. :argh:

What can you do, Disco is the new Pillars. Every thread inevitably turns to it.

For the same reason too, a few people so chronically butthurt about it that they simply can't help obsessing about it.
Not really,deadfire was generally disliked while disco is disliked by a few people that don't even play rpgs any more. Also with deadfire we had some pretty fun discussion and shit,while this is just incoherent screeching about how it is not rpg and their whole argument is muh combat.

Oh and fast edit: Deadfire was not goty while this one is
:troll:

I was referring to the original Pillars.

Personally, I do not think it is fair to want to kick DE out of the polls, when so many Codexers consider it an RPG and want to vote for it.

I have not played DE yet (I am enjoying Kingmaker too much), and I will surely be pissed if I end up not liking it while it invades the top positions of the Top 100 poll at some point. But fair is fair.

If DE wins this poll I'm finally going to know what liberals felt like that night that Trump won.
Get ready mate,it is coming.....unless the unspeakable out vote the fans with spam voting.

Of course, the ever objective measure of the RPG genre, the Game Awards.

I wish you newfags were purged in cleansing fire. If Fez could see this he'd have a heart attack.

The RPG genre is what the industry consensus says it is. The Game Awards reflect that consensus.

Of course anyone can use their private definition as much as they like, but it is not reasonable to expect the world at large to conform to it.

Or, as lexicographers like to put it, usage is king.

ITT people are arguing that the game that won “best RPG” at Game Awards isn’t a RPG.
Game Awards have been won by a good number of non-games in the past (walking sims). So a talking sim non-game is just par for the course.
No, the ironic thing ITT is that even the guy with an Undertale avatar doesn't consider Disco an RPG.

All categories taken together, I only played two of the games listed: Slay the Spire (good game, but RPG? really?) and Sunless Skies. Guess I'll come back and vote in 3/4 years time, at which point I might have picked up a few as part of a bundle.
