Gothic and Gothic 2 popamoles.

Hailed as hardcore and as masterpieces, but as casual as it gets outside of Morrowind.

Still doing a Gothic 1 retrospective on your blog, right?

Some good points anvi , especially those regards GTA5. It's a fucking abomination.

Oooohh, edgy.

I'm a Gothic 2 fan, but can see it's failings, so open to that as a suggestion, but also need more of a case.

Care to elaborate a bit? Remember, popamoleyness in itself isn't a crime. Even if they are popamoley, they can stll be good games, so we need reasons as to by they're actually shit.

I am pretty sure her gripe with Gothic is the fact it's an Action RPG instead of a CRPG.

Sort of. My cultivated palate has been rapidly refining over the past year or so, and there are going to be casualties in the popamole arena. I was going to write a critical retrospective on Gothic, but instead I decided to sprinkle my prime write-ups with unkind remarks, since they get more views.

tbh, Deus Ex is in danger of being devalued by me as well, and I recently rated it 3rd all-time.

I can see it getting wiped from my top 10 very soon.

I think I ignored the poll before. Red Dead 2 would get my top vote. Clunky as fuck mechanics in service to immersion that ruin the gameplay, and I like immersion. Also the story is only okay, and people who think it's great should watch Deadwood.

Aye, Red Dead 2 was fucking wank. Way too cumbersome and clunky to be any fun. It's basically a shit load of boring dialogue as you let the computer ride your horse from point A to point B for ages, then a mess of combat, then fucking about with sardines & suchlike after.

I've no idea how folk enjoyed it. It's a piece of total shit.

All inexplicably overrated games that should never see a "top" games list ever IMO.

Does anyone actually worship Fallout 4 though?

Tbf, I ask myself the same question. It has appeared in a fair few "top games" lists, but doesn't get the amount of acclaim the likes of Skywank and Mass Wank 2 do.

Still, thought I'd just leave it on there anyway. Take that out & it's great to see the other top 5. I've played every one and absolutely hated everyone of them. Playing through them made me think "what kind of fucktardedness exists to see these games as classics"

It's comforting to know that fellow Dexers feel the same.
