Orogun01 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Pardon my ignorance, but what does "going full codexian" mean? I can only assume it has something to do with RPGCodex. Yeah. I'd say this is pretty accurate portrayal of a full fledged codexian: It is rather a churlish site. Prefer RPGWatch myself. I'm with you there buddy. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoraptor Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) The Watch is a weird place. EVERY time I go there to look at something, there's just no content. A new RPG! Let's go! There's a thread with about 5 posts and a bugle. It's like they're hiding from me. No controversy, too polite, too little difference in opinions; so all that is left is the equivalent of me tooing and giving impressions. And there's no absolute drawcard, an official forum can often get away with being a bit bland because it's an official forum. Every good forum needs a small dollop (or in the codex's case, a torrential deluge) of controversy, of argument, of hate to get to a critical level of actual discussion. There'll usually be more utter guff along with the good stuff as well, but I don't mind sifting the good stuff from chaff. Their articles are usually pretty good though they suffer a bit from being 'too nice' as well. Edited December 13, 2013 by Zoraptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agiel Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 If the world of RPG websites was a festering, maggot-infested scab leaking gangrenous puss, the Codex would be what lay beneath said scab. A Lovecraftian jelly of bile, madness and spite. I quite like it. It certainly is a fascinating community, for the reason I give here from the "Weird News" topic in the Off-Topic Forum: I find the Codex to be an interesting website in that for every one thing from there that's very lucid, well thought out, and dare I say quite spot-on, there's about ten other things that's overly narcissistic, sociopathic, or plain 'ol bigoted. That one thing however for me makes it worth it to visit it once or twice a month to wade through and try and find it. Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melkathi Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Did anyone see the Square-Enix store christmas thing? "What's in the box?" Buy the christmas surprise box now and on the 20th you open it and are surprised at the junk you got? In euro it is 6.49 with Square saying that the games in the box are worth 75 normally.

Humanoid Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I'd question whether their entire catalogue put together is worth $75. Fake edit: Hmm, oddly only available in Europe *and* Australia. Shocked that they even remember us for once. But I'll probably do it for the hell of it. Worst case scenario will be that I get DXHRDC out of it. It says four game so I'd guess that plus Tomb Raider, Sleeping Dogs and Hitman perhaps? They've all gone for under $10 during sales as far as I know.

Bos_hybrid Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 The BGS/Zenimax and ZOS buildings are linked by a sewer filled with radiation and ghouls. So that's what happened to their writers. Just thinking about a voiced TES/FO4 PC is terrifying. The only reason to have a voiced PC, is if you are making a cinematic storytelling game, the exact opposite of what bethesda do. And the exact opposite of their strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamoulian War Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I remember Tex Murphy 3-5 games, but they were never sold in Slovakia. I have never played them, but heard lot of interesting stories and old reviews of the game. I was really thinking lot of times, to pick them up from GOG, including first two adventures. Can you somehow tell me little bit about positives and negatives of the games, so I know if I would do good thing to buy them a Xmas gift to my sister maybe?

Keyrock Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Well, the Tex Murphy games are FMV games, which generally means cheesy, and they're certainly no exception. You play as Tex, a down on his luck, smart-mouthed private investigator who keeps getting caught up in grand conspiracies. The games takes place in the near future in post Wald War 3 San Francisco where the population is made up of both regular humans and mutants. The games have a distinct film noir feel to them despite taking place in the near future. The acting in the FMV scenes has always been a mix of professional actors and some of the programmers and staff working on the game, thus there is a curious mix of surprisingly decent and hilariously cheesy acting. The games are conspiracy mysteries and play like traditional point n click adventures, except that you get to walk around in first person view. What makes the games special in my opinion is the way they embrace the cheesiness and run with it, plus Chris Jones' snarky sarcastic tone is spot on for the film noir feel.
