Not only slow, not only retarded, but also without a taste.

Your IQ level is 1/10th of mine. I dont care about lesser people.

 

[Beans00]

Colony Ship

Kinda looking for reviews that make the game sound good.

Well the problem is the game is pretty bad. I tried to be as fair to it as possible.

Not only slow, not only retarded, but also without a taste.

Your IQ level is 1/10th of mine. I dont care about lesser people.

Can you actually prove this? 1/10th is an extreme metric, and Konjad seems more intelligent then you(and has better taste in rpgs). No offense.

There is a difference in seeming and being. Did Konjad already do extremely advanced scientific calculations for ESA? I doubt it. A lot of pseudo intellectuals here in shitty jobs.

 

[Optimist]

PM'd short reevios for Titan Outpost and Archolos.

You useless piece of shit. You absolute waste of space and air. You uneducated, ignorant, idiotic dumb swine, you’re an absolute embarrassment to humanity and all life as a whole. The magnitude of your failure just now is so indescribably massive that one hundred years into the future your name will be used as moniker of evil for heretics. Even if all of humanity put together their collective intelligence there is no conceivable way they could have thought up a way to fuck up on the unimaginable scale you just did. When Jesus died for our sins, he must not have seen the sacrilegious act we just witnessed you performing, because if he did he would have forsaken humanity long ago so that your birth may have never become reality. After you die, your skeleton will be displayed in a museum after being scientifically researched so that all future generations may learn not to generate your bone structure, because every tiny detail anyone may have in common with you degrades them to a useless piece of trash and a burden to society. No wonder your father questioned whether or not your were truly his son, for you'd have to not be a waste of carbon matter for anyone to love you like a family member. Your birth made it so that mankind is worse of in every way you can possibly imagine, and you have made it so that society can never really recover into a state of organization. Everything has forever fallen into a bewildering chaos, through which unrecognizable core, you can only find misfortune. I would say the apocalypse is upon us but this is merely the closest word humans have for the sheer scale of horror that is now reality. You have forever condemned everyone you love and know into an eternal state of suffering, worse than any human concept of hell. You are such an unholy being, that if you step within a one hundred foot radius of a holy place or a place that has ever been deemed important by anyone, your distorted sac religious soul will ruin whatever meaning it ever had beyond repair. You are an idiotic, shiteating, dumbass ape and no one has ever loved you. Rhodes Island would have been better off if you'd never joined us. You are a lying, backstabbing, cowardly useless piece of shit and I hate you with every single part of my being. Even this worlds finest writers and poets from throughout the ages could never hope to accurately describe the scale on which you just fucked up, and how incredibly idiotic you are. Anyone that believes in any religion out there should now realize that they have been wrong this entire time, for if divine beings were real, they would never have allowed a being such as you to stain the earth and this universe. In the future there will be horror stories made about you, with the scariest part of them being that the reader has to realize that such an indescribable monster actually exists, and that the horrific events from the movie have actually taken place in the same world that they live in right now. You are the absolute embodiment of everything that has ever been wrong on this earth, yet you manage to make it so that that is only a small part of the evil that is your being. Never in the history of mankind has there been anyone that could have predicted such an eldrich abomination, but here you are. It’s hard to believe that I am seeing such an incredible failure with my own eyes, but here I am, so unfortunately I cannot deny your existence. Even if I did my very best, my vocabulary is not able to describe the sheer magnitude of the idiotic mistake that is you. Even if time travel some day will be invented, there still would not be a single soul willing to go back in time to before this moment to fix history, because having to witness such incredible horrors if they failed would have to many mental and physical drawbacks that not even the bravest soul in history would be willing to risk it. I cannot imagine the pure dread your mother must have felt when she had to carry a baby for nine months and then giving birth to such a wretched monster as you. Not a single word of the incoherent, illogical rambling you may be wanting to do to defend yourself or apologize would ever be able to make up for what you just did. The countries of the world would have wanted to make laws preventing such a terrible event like this from ever happening again, but sadly this is not possible since your horrific actions just now have shattered every form of order this world once had, making concepts such as laws irrelevant. Right from the moment I first set my eyes on you I knew you were an absolute abomination of everything that is wrong with humanity. I was hoping I would have been able to prevent your evil from being released upon this world by tagging along and keeping my eye on you, but it is clear to me now that not even the greatest efforts would have been able to prevent a terrible event in this scale from occurring. You are the worst human being, or even just being in general, that I have ever had the misfortune of witnessing. Events like the infected plague apparently only happened with the goal of teaching humanity to survive such a horrible event as the one you just created, but not even mankind’s greatest trials were able to even slightly prepare anyone for the insufferable evil you have just created. If you ever had them, your children would be preemptively killed to protect this universe from the possibility of anyone in your bloodline being even half as bad as you are, except you will never be able to have children, because not a single human being will ever want to come within a hundred mile radius of you and anything you have ever touched. You are a colossal disappointment not only to your parents, but to your ancestors and entire bloodline. The disgusting mistake that you have just made is so incredibly terrible that everyone who would ever be to hear about it would spontaneously feel an indescribable mixture of immense anger, fear and anxiety that emotionally and physically they would never truly be the same ever again. The sheer scale of your mistake, if ever to be materialized, would not only surpass the size of the world, but it would reach far beyond the edges of the known, and almost certainly the unknown universe. I could sit here and write paragraphs, nay, books describing your immense failure, yet even if I were to dedicate my life to describing the reality of what has just gone down here, and I would spend every moment of it until my heart stops beating working as hard and efficiently as possible, yet there is not even a snowballs chance in hell that I would be able to come close to transcribing the absolute shitshow you have just released upon the world. You are an irresponsible, idiotic, disgusting, unloved, horrible excuse for a living being who’s soul contains less humanity than every ginger in history combined. The absolute disgust I feel when thinking about anything that has even a slight resemblance to anything that might have to do with you and your unholy actions is so incredibly great that when I am honest about it I think that even I do not posses a consciousness great enough to comprehend my own feelings about it. When people of Columbia fought to break free from Lungmen, countless soldiers fought and lost their lives in favor of a chance at a better future for their children, they did not give their lives to have you fuck the world up beyond repair to the degree that you are doing right now. Honestly, even when technology advances and studies on the subject become more and more accurate, I do not think humanity will ever truly be able to understand what your failure actually means for the universe. My hate for you and everything you stand for is so much deeper than the depths of Shambala that you could probably take the entire Lungmen population down there and back up around twenty million times before you would have sunk to the end of my hate, and honestly, I do not want to exaggerate, but I think that that insult was low balling it such a massive amount that all mountains in this world combined would not be able to stack up to this imprecise judgement in light of the fact that when being honest, my hate is almost certainly bottomless. There is no one in this world that has ever loved you, and especially after what you just did, no one will ever love you in the future either. There is no hope that your idiotic behavior and especially your crooked soul will ever change for the better, and in fact quite the opposite might be true. By making the mistake that you just did, you have shown me that you are so incredibly hopeless that you will only devolve into a more idiotic and wretched creature than you already are. The only possible way in which your future would be brighter than the black hole your existence currently is would exclusively be because there is absolutely no conceivable way that you would even be able to sink lower than the pathetic place your current failure has put you in. But than again, you are so incredibly abominable that you would probably be able to surpass the worst conceivable failure a living being could possibly make. I don't have a degree, and other than physics I don't have a better understanding of any aspect of engineering than any actual engineer, but I have lots of ingenuity for inventing new things. For example, I independently invented regenerative brakes before finding out what they were, and I was only seven or eight years old when I started inventing wireless electricity solutions (my first idea being to use a powerful infrared laser to transmit energy; admittedly not the best plan). I have independently thought of basically every branch of philosophy I've come across. Every question of existentialism which I've seen discussed in SMBC or xkcd or Reddit or anywhere else, the thoughts haven't been new to me. Philosophy has pretty much gotten trivial for me; I've considered taking a philosophy course just to see how easy it is. Psychology, I actually understand better than people with degrees. Unlike engineering, there's no aspect of psychology which I don't have a very good understanding of. I can debunk many of even Sigmund Freud's theories. I'm a good enough writer that I'm writing a book and so far everybody who's read any of it has said it was really good and plausible to expect to have published. And that's not just, like, me and family members, that counts strangers on the Internet. I've heard zero negative appraisal of it so far; people have critiqued it, but not insulted it. I don't know if that will suffice as evidence that I'm intelligent. I'm done with it, though, because I'd rather defend my maturity, since it's what you've spent the most time attacking. The following are some examples of my morals and ethical code. I believe firmly that everybody deserves a future. If we were to capture Hitler at the end of WWII, I would be against executing him. In fact, if we had any way of rehabilitating him and knowing that he wasn't just faking it, I'd even support the concept of letting him go free. This is essentially because I think that whoever you are in the present is a separate entity from who you were in the past and who you are in the future, and while your present self should take responsibility for your past self's actions, it shouldn't be punished for them simply for the sake of punishment, especially if the present self regrets the actions of the past self and feels genuine guilt about them. I don't believe in judgement of people based on their personal choices as long as those personal choices aren't harming others. I don't have any issue with any type of sexuality whatsoever (short of physically acting out necrophilia, pedophilia, or other acts which have a harmful affect on others - but I don't care what a person's fantasies consist of, as long as they recognize the difference between reality and fiction and can separate them). I don't have any issue with anybody over what type of music they listen to, or clothes they wear, etc. I know that's not really an impressive moral, but it's unfortunately rare; a great many people, especially those my age, are judgmental about these things. I love everyone, even people I hate. I wish my worst enemies good fortune and happiness. Rick Perry is a vile, piece of shit human being, deserving of zero respect, but I wish for him to change for the better and live the best life possible. I wish this for everyone. I'm pretty much a pacifist. I've taken a broken nose without fighting back or seeking retribution, because the guy stopped punching after that. The only time I'll fight back is if 1) the person attacking me shows no signs of stopping and 2) if I don't attack, I'll come out worse than the other person will if I do. In other words, if fighting someone is going to end up being more harmful to them than just letting them go will be to me, I don't fight back. I've therefore never had a reason to fight back against anyone in anything serious, because my ability to take pain has so far made it so that I'm never in a situation where I'll be worse off after a fight. If I'm not going to get any hospitalizing injuries, I really don't care. The only exception is if someone is going after my life. Even then, I'll do the minimum amount of harm to them that I possibly can in protecting myself. If someone points a gun at me and I can get out of it without harming them, I'd prefer to do that over killing them. I consider myself a feminist. I don't believe in enforced or uniform gender roles; they may happen naturally, but they should never be coerced into happening unnaturally. As in, the societal pressure for gender roles should really go, even if it'll turn out that the majority of relationships continue operating the same way of their own accord. I treat women with the same outlook I treat men, and never participate in the old Reddit "women are crazy" circlejerk, because there are multiple women out there and each have different personalities just like there are multiple men out there and each with different personalities. I don't think you do much of anything except scare off the awesome women out there by going on and on about the ones who aren't awesome. That doesn't mean I look for places to victimize women, I just don't believe it's fair to make generalizations such as the one about women acting like everything's OK when it's really not (and that's a particularly harsh example, because all humans do that). I'm kind of tired of citing these examples and I'm guessing you're getting tired of reading them, if you've even made it this far. In closing, the people who know me in real life all respect me, as do a great many people in the Reddit brony community, where I spend most of my time and where I'm pretty known for being helpful around the community. A lot of people in my segment of the community are depressed or going through hard times, and I spend a lot of time giving advice and support to people there. Yesterday someone quoted a case of me doing this in a post asking everyone what their favorite motivational/inspirational quote was, and that comment was second to the top, so I guess other people agreed (though, granted, it was a pretty low-traffic post, only about a dozen competing comments). But you... You are so incredibly pathetic that you are honestly not worth any more of my words nor my time. Just remember that I will forever detest you for your failure and everything you stand for, and no matter what happens, I will never ever forgive you.

Caves of Lore

"Just 10 more minutes" is the most concise explanation I could possibly give for this game. A labour of love by a solo developer, Caves of Lore is a breath of fresh air in the current bloated indie scene that flew under the radar of most people. Beneath the layer of cutesy pixel art is a fantastic dungeon crawler that will keep most fans of the cRPG genre engaged for dozens of hours. While there is a story & hand-crafted lore, Caves of Lore shines with its environmental exploration. In a large, vibrant setting, you will explore dozens of strange areas, interact with an abundance of quirky NPCs and slowly unmask the secrets of a world seemingly gone mad. Secrets are abundant, demanding the player to utilize all skills, spells, books, the day/night cycle & NPC conversations to crack with virtually no hand-holding. These systems work in tandem providing an excellent progression curve to keep boredom to a minimum, making it a perfect game to jump into at any time. Exploration is coupled with tactical, grid-based & turn-based combat with a surprising amount of depth to it, slightly marred by the myriad of mobs prancing around. Besides the blank slate PC, you can discover 9 unique companions of varying races, personalities & skills to swap between 6 party slots on top of using their abilities to uncover the aforementioned secrets & complete quests. In this aspect, you will be surprised by the fact that you're actually having fun playing an RPG. Storyfags need not apply. Ultimately, with its superb exploration, combat, serviceable story and affordable price tag, there is little reason not to give Caves of Lore a fair shake.

I'll wait and see if there's interest for Disco Elysium, I decided to stick to the only new game on the list I actually voted for.

Colony Ship

Kinda looking for reviews that make the game sound good.

Well the problem is the game is pretty bad. I tried to be as fair to it as possible.

Not only slow, not only retarded, but also without a taste.

Your IQ level is 1/10th of mine. I dont care about lesser people.

Can you actually prove this? 1/10th is an extreme metric, and Konjad seems more intelligent then you(and has better taste in rpgs). No offense.

There is a difference in seeming and being. Did Konjad already do extremely advanced scientific calculations for ESA? I doubt it. A lot of pseudo intellectuals here in shitty jobs.

In closing, the people who know me in real life all respect me, as do a great many people in the Reddit brony community, where I spend most of my time and where I'm pretty known for being helpful around the community. A lot of people in my segment of the community are depressed or going through hard times, and I spend a lot of time giving advice and support to people there. Yesterday someone quoted a case of me doing this in a post asking everyone what their favorite motivational/inspirational quote was, and that comment was second to the top, so I guess other people agreed (though, granted, it was a pretty low-traffic post, only about a dozen competing comments). But you... You are so incredibly pathetic that you are honestly not worth any more of my words nor my time. Just remember that I will forever detest you for your failure and everything you stand for, and no matter what happens, I will never ever forgive you.

be careful u will crit someone with that wall of text

Sorry, but it is supposed to be a list of actual good games.

Sent you for Dungeon Rats and Colony Ship, so these should have enough as well. As for the rest, where are people who voted for them? You voted, now suffer the consequences

Disco Elysium

A lot of people in the Codex hate Disco Elysium. They will tell you it's not even an RPG. It has no combat, you just read the text. You read A LOT of text. And it isn't about epic adventures or world-altering moral choices... it's just a total loser, in an abandoned part of an unimportant place, solving small-scale issues while talking to voices inside his head, being depressed about his ex-wife, Communism, a karaoke song or whatever.

Yes, it's different from every other RPG out there. And that's why Disco Elysium is so important and so divisive. It takes RPGs somewhere new, less Tolkien and D&D, more China Miéville and modern tabletop systems. Less escapism, more daily life issues. It's a landmark that points towards new horizons and possibilities, just like titles such as Ultima IV, Wasteland and Fallout. You will see Disco Elysium clones for decades to come, so you might as well try the original masterpiece now and see what's this all about.

If needed I could do a second mini-review of Disco Elysium, but I will do it on Sunday.

They see the thread title and post without reading the first post. OP should add that voting has ended in the title.

Knights of the Chalice 2

Fans of Dungeons & Dragons and of the first Knights of the Chalice have waited almost ten years until its ambitious sequel finally got released. While the game was first handed to the players in a terrible state, and the visual downgrade as well as the non-sensical and incredibly hard campaign have been divisive, on some other aspects the game delivered exactly what the players have been looking for. The implementation of the rules is impressive with a multitude of quite extensively implemented races, classes, feats and more than 500 spells, especially as another notable prowess is that enemies can make clever use of many of those spells and abilities. Augury of Chaos, the campaign delivered with the game, has its good and bad sides. First, with all the extra character building options the game can now confidently let you control a party of up to 9 characters and then propose some very large scale encounters where both sides will get to flood large battefields with several big spells, and is more in line with the older D&D games than what the first game offered. However, the campaign is nowhere near as coherent as the one from the first game, which was part of its charm, with very various enemies coexisting in the same places with little context. That's not all bad, as it also translates into a incredible roster of encounters whose variety is arguably unrivaled. It is paced by detailed choices and actual dialogs where different characters will be offered a wide array of options to detect a hidden container, choose a reward or a side in an conflict, prevent an ambush or immediately get rid of some enemies before a fight even begins. This is also where the player might be able to spend a key item in different ways. Shops offer extra items to an already satisfying range of items the party will wrench out of the corpses of its opponents. The player will then face some puzzles, and if some of them feel out of place some other ones really enhance a campaign which despite its weird bestiary is still overall well-rounded. Finally, if nobody expects millions of player made modules to come out of it the first tests have shown that the editor is quite competent. The best example would be The Hearkenwold, the port by its creator of an elaborate campaign which is arguably better than Augury of Chaos and which for D&D fans compares favourably to many commercial games.

That corresponds to the top 83 on this list, but I don't want to include Skyrim.

Skyrim is still excluded. It's no trouble.

So, how about a list of 70 best RPGs (this way there's no Skyrim on the list)

The fix is in. 75 / 25

This list is not legit without Dragon's Dogma 2. Y'all can take your fraudulent list and wipe your ass with it. Including degenerate fag and beastiality games but snubbing DD2 which many are calling a modern day Gothic. What a joke.
