I posted on RPG Codex for about 10 years. When I come here, I feel like I'm talking to children. It really is the best place to learn about RPGs from people who sincerely love the genre.

Yeah, sure.
Nah. On RPG Codex, I can have a good conversation about, I don't know, The Magic Candle or Blade of Destiny. If I try it here, people will either call it boomer trash or say I'm pretending to have played them for cred. It's a place filled with people who know and love RPGs. This is a place for kids.

So that anon was right, it literally is the best place to discuss RPG rather than the troonypile moron shitfest that is /vrpg/.
It's not a random collage. It's ranked in order. So PS:T (a sub-midwit visual novel) is the best RPG ever, Fallout in the #2 spot, and so on. Now look at it again.
To say that it doesn't make a modicum of sense is an understatement.

No idea. I haven't been to the Codex. But, I dislike the conversation here where more than half the time you realize you're talking to folks who haven't really played that many games at all. Oftentimes they're offended by the idea that having played a variety of stuff is even meaningful.
> It really is the best place to learn about RPGs from people who sincerely love the genre.
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaha
On that list, I think I've played about a quarter of them, though not all to completion. Basically the stuff from the last 20 years with a few exceptions.
I love RPGs. They're the only games I play, and the only games I've ever played. I've played them my whole life and my job is working on them. All I want is to find a place where I can talk intelligently with people who love them as much as I do.
You arent gonna find any of that in this shithole.
It is a board filled with people who hate videogames or dont play it. Calling eachother Black person/israelite and talking shit about anything and everything. Bots and npcs keep reposting the same bait threads.
>the best place to learn about RPGs from people who sincerely love the genre.
meanwhile codexians hate more than half the genre they're supposedly passionate about
They were mostly criticizing him for not saying anything from what I remember.
Lots of actual ResetEra nogs are buttblasted to this day that he ended up suing them tho.
>I still have no idea why do they suck him off so much.
"Anything from 1995 to 2003 GOOD, anything before JANK, anything after BAD".
Obsidian managed to fall in their good graces with NV because they threw the Fallout 1&2 a bone there and having some of the old devs, despite 95% of NV gameplay being identical to Fallout 3's, and it toke a lot of stinkers for Obsidian to fall out of.
>This unless it's obscure Eurojank then it's GOOD.
Or a shitty CYOA book with crappy combat and that looks worse than vanilla NWN despite coming out 12 years later.
At least Underrail was actually fun, I guess.
>"Anything from 1995 to 2003 GOOD, anything before JANK, anything after BAD".
But this is a correct. This was the Golden Age. Since then everything started to get shit. And before that time technology was not up to the task and game designers too inexperienced to make something actually good.
The RPGs they have made are pretty low-tier to mid (Age of Decadence and Underrail), and in general it's pretty sad to see multiple 40-year old slavic men type like zoomers on here who read too much /misc/.
I don't hate them any more than any other forum but they suffer from the same problems (attention whoring, herd mentality, etc). This place is already a bottom of the barrel shithole so it's not like they can make it any worse.
>That's literally every RPG
Does every RPG have the devs literally telling you to hoard skill points to deal with any issue?
The thing is that while most rpgs have optimal builds(which is to say an arrangement of attributes, skills, feats, and equipment that outperforms the others), AoD is pretty much the only one I ever saw were the player is actually incentivized by the game mechanics to actively metagame at every turn.
>literally can't write four words without screeching "TRANNIES" >goes on to continue shrieking about trannies
I think you've made my point for me yet again. You people really are fricking pathetic. The least you could do is say "we" instead of "they" when referring to codex posters.
>Does every RPG have the devs literally telling you to hoard skill points to deal with any issue?
Yes, that's literally every RPG you dumdum. Jesus Christ, no wonder you trannies misunderstood what an ROG is.
>Yes, that's literally every RPG you dumdum
IE games didn't do it, Fallout didn't do it, Wizardry didn't do it, Ultima didn't do it, roguelikes don't do it, Underrail don't do it, NV didn't do it.
>hoarding skill points is the correct way to play RPGs
The point of an RPG is to feel like you're acting out the role of someone else typically in a fantastical setting. DMs explicitly try to guard against excessive meta-gaming because players are supposed to act according to their character not because they know stacking feats from several subclasses will break the game. You should choose skill points that best align with the character you're roleplaying not because you're trying to predict the next skill check.
The reason you and apparently RPG Codex are confused about this is because the transition from table top to computer RPGs made the entire game much more deterministic. DMs can improvise on the fly to handle every flavor of roleplay for a given interaction. But in a CRPG a check can only resolve in one of a few predetermined ways. In the former, the DM will reward creative in-character thinking even if it's something they didn't expect. In the latter, the player just has to guess what the game dev was thinking when they coded up the interaction.
A savvy programmer can work around this and approximate a real-time DM. Tech companies pay skilled programmers enormous salaries to return a sensible response for any given user query. I honestly feel like a lot of self-proclaimed old school fans never really understood what RPG designers were going for and got upset when larger budgets revealed that vision conflicted with their own.

>The point of an RPG
Not the only point. But otherwise almost everything else you say in your post is correct. Hoarding points to pass skill checks is definitely against the spirit of RPGs. >I honestly feel like a lot of self-proclaimed old school fans never really understood what RPG designers were going for and got upset when larger budgets revealed that vision conflicted with their own.
Except for this vague and pretentious shit. I can't tell if you're right or not. Old School RPG design was about a combination of immersive world-building, dungeon-crawling and COMBAT. If combat isn't a part of what you had in mind, you're wrong.

Some devs and players, especially slavs, see RPGs as puzzles with a fantastical coat of paint rather than as immersive escapism. For them, breaking the system with meta gaming is the entire point of the experience.

Breaking games can be fun, but it seems pointless to design a game around that because basically every sufficiently complex game will be breakable anyway.
I didn't care about them until someone pointed out that they crosspost here, and when I went and lurked their forum a bit it suddenly made lots of sense as to why this board is so shit. They're basically just /misc/ with video games, except it's even more pathetic because the names attached to their posts makes it a circlejerk. They're basically just really sad pathetic idiots who hate everything.
Are there really enough of them to influence Ganker, though? Their forum doesn't seem to be that active in comparison. I think it's more of a pissing in an ocean of piss situation.
It's weird they'd even bother. I can understand r*dditors coming here to make shitty posts, they could get downvoted on r*ddit which is enough to ruin their whole week. But codex is literally just a contest of who can say the most slurs per post, so I don't see why they'd feel a need to come here. Guess they're just that braindead fricking stupid!

Not our fault you're a Black person-loving troony homosexual. You have more important matters to attend to, like gaping your mouth at funkopops, you fricking homosexual.
It's called being a virile, superior, aryan male with factual posts and high IQ rhetoric. Sit down when you pee, sonny boy.
One race,
One Godd,
One /vrpg/,
united against Black folk, homosexuals and the untermensch ~~*Codex*~~. Preserve the purity of RPGs. We will prevail.
This board is shit because it's full of people who make posts like these:
rpgcodex is for people who think that when numbers go up it’s an rpg, and the more numbers that can go up the better an rpg it is
That's jarpigs, you meant words. More words = better RPG, is what they probably think.
Jarpigs want a VN with a spreadsheet where numbers go up attached to it, while rpgcodex just want a spreadsheet, without the VN.
And unlike Ganker where there's tons of traffic and tardposts just get lost in the noise, when people leave turds here they just linger for days. /vrpg/ is the designated shitting street of videogame boards.
Pretty much. If we at least had a jannie that deleted spam and low quality threads this board could be pretty nice, sadly stuff like Mother 3 juxtagay threads last for months on end because nobody gives a shit.

All gaming discussion is kind of crap because games still have a very juvenile reputation. Almost anyone whose opinion I might actually respect does something else with their leisure time. You can chat about movies or music with other functioning adults competent enough to at least grasp the basics of shot angles or chord progressions. But when it comes to video games everyone's a knuckle dragger who can only think up the barest minimum of a thesis: "graphics good", "combat bad", "story good", "dumbing down bad". Oh my god, develop your thoughts a little bit before you vocalize them.
Of all the forums I've been on, some niche subreddits are probably the least bad, but damn. I'm just a mediocre programmer who watches a few GDC conferences sometimes, but gaming forums make me feel like an gray-haired intellectual.
Codex is basically a gaming forum version of that Sargon of Akkad youtuber.

Yep, confirmed for being literally clinically moronic. You do realize the Codex have emoji systems since before fricking Facebook right? Your moronic ass do realize that that post doesn't mean it gets to the top of the page right? FFS.
And forums had "thumbs up" and "thanks" before Facebook was a thing. It's still the same though and you must be mentally challenged if you can't find a better way to cope with reality.

People on RPG Codex think there was a lull in RPGs from about 1994-1999.
Friendly reminder that the "Wife Scholar" homosexual and the Monk homosexual were both permabanned here, and they went straight to the Codex.
The RPGs they have made are pretty low-tier to mid (Age of Decadence and Underrail), and in general it's pretty sad to see multiple 40-year old slavic men type like zoomers on here who read too much /misc/.
>pretty low-tier to mid (Age of Decadence and Underrail)
I will fight you on the side of the street, homie.
The fact they made anything at all is more than can be said for this place.
Minecraft, Undertale, Katawa Shoujo
These are just the confirmed devs, too. There are probably countless others that post anonymously. Todd himself probably Toddposts sometimes.

A lot of them unironically think BG2 is a bad game.

Well put, Emilgay.
samegayging is against the rule and if you're not samegayging then that makes it worse since there are 2 moron in this thread.
>code monkey thinks he knows video games
Shut the frick up you expendable trash.
Only ones upset about the Codex are moron Era crossposters who shouldn't be here in the first place.
>you hate me! you must be xgroup!
Really? Truly?
How pathetic.
No no, codexposters have shown in this very thread that they're subhuman and literally not capable of rational discussion.
literally who
Honestly, I went there once and browsed through the forums. Reading the comments there felt like a fever dream. It's like none of these people are actually real and are just some made up caricatures.
>go to codex forum, surely it's not THAT bad
>it is
>but more importantly
>people who donate to the website's patreon get a big label that says PATRON
>these are also the users that get circlejerked and "upvoted" the most
Holy frick, I didn't think this was possible but you morons are even fricking lower than r*ddit. You might as well be wearing a big shiny badge that says KEK on it. I don't even blame you cucks for wanting to escape that bullshit by coming here, but you could at least fricking wipe your feet before you step inside. Maybe lurk a little before making shitty posts, huh?
>>go to 4chinnel surely it's not THAT bad
>hurr durr chud chud chud what the frick is an rpg
>durr rpg isn't a real thing call of doody is an rpg lol
>*doesn't even make RPGs just complain about users*
The fact that you even think that Codex has an upvote system already certified you as clinically mentally ill.
>can't even spell Ganker
>too stupid to understand that upvote system being written in quotes means "this is like an upvote system, even if it isn't literally one"
>pic fricking related
moron.
Yep, confirmed for being literally clinically moronic. You do realize the Codex have emoji systems since before fricking Facebook right? Your moronic ass do realize that that post doesn't mean it gets to the top of the page right? FFS.
It's a system that encourages users to post whatever they think will get the most le upvotes. It's redditcore.
And forums had "thumbs up" and "thanks" before Facebook was a thing. It's still the same though and you must be mentally challenged if you can't find a better way to cope with reality.
>Why is Ganker sekrit club contrarians that hate every other site?
I don't know anon, it's been almost 20 years and we still can't answer that question.
>half the people in this thread post on the codex
>still argue which is more shit anyway.
caus it's not infested with jRPGs and other shit generals.
Why do we hate them again?
Never heard of them.
"I don't think about you".
Who?
Because they're a textbook example of tabletop roleplaying becoming infiltrated.
We don't.
