The French Revolution seems like such a cool setting, though. I wish that there were a good game that used that time period

unity turns the revolution into just another conspiracy thing, except they were afraid to make either side the good guys so both of them are run by the evil templar conspiracy and so the protagonist just sort of generally ignores it for much of the game because he has no interest in the outcome. it's very bizarre.

Does GOTY 2017 have to be a game of the same year? Because I'm still playing Furi, and it's still goty

If so, then Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment.

I fuckin suck!🪠
One of my roommates get Game informer, and they have a "100 best RPGs" article. Hooo-boy. Hilarious

Destiny was 81, and yes, the Bungie Destiny, incase there's a rare Amiga Destiny game I don't careknow about. Also Bastion is on there, which seems like a poor fit for "RPG," but is much more deserving then Destiny.

World of Warcraft was 8th

Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is 5th, Mass Effect 2 is 4th, Chrono Trigger is 3rd, with FF6 coming in second, and the number 1 choice: Skyrim. That's not even the best Elder Scrolls.

I know Horizon Zero Dawn and Monster Hunter (Generations) were low on the list (near Destiny). Only Pokemon Red, Blue, gold, and Silver are on the list, none of the more current games. Oddly missing are more recent games, FF15 and Tales of Beseria. While Forum darlings, The World Ends with You and Persona 4 are fairly low as well.

I thought there was no rights issue with American Nightmare so they weren't discounting it / pulling it from sale.

I was afraid the sale would end and the game would disappear before the refund request was received. Thankfully they have refund categories for double-purchases so I'll just buy the whole package and get the original purchase put back into the ol' wallet.

I guess that explains why it's $11 but everything else is like $3.

The sale is on now and ends in 35 hours when (presumably) the game vanishes forever.

Well what about like stat growth as opposed to player ability? I consider games where you can overcome a skill cap by just overgrinding numbers to be an RPG more than I consider a game with choices or even a lot of dialogue to be an RPG.

Yeah, and HZD isn't really like that. There aren't any stats, weapons can be modified, but are pretty nuch static values, and while there is a skill tree, there aren't really "builds" because you can easily fill it.

It's less of an rpg than Bioshock. Is Bioshock an RPG? I guess people probably consider it one, which, by these criteria, is valid. But again, HZD is much less of an rpg.

I guess people considering "there are quests" as an RPG element. HZD has a wuest structure that feels like Witcher or Skyrim, but because the gameplay is mechanically very different...

I guess what​ I'm really saying is that I'm not offended that HZD is low on a list of RPGs, because, while it's a great game, it's not necissarily a great RPG. Which is fine.

Oh well there you go, I was really just spitballing on account of not having played it that maybe it had numerical stats etc. I phrased it badly tbh, I shoulda said like "Does it have stat growth?"
