RPG Codex – GOTY 2023

RPG Codex recently declared their Game of the Year through forum member voting, and to the surprise of many, Baldur’s Gate 3 didn’t actually win like they have been doing everywhere else. Jagged Alliance 3 of all games won it, with Baldur’s Gate 3 coming second, and Colony Ship: A Post-Earth Role Playing Game coming third.

Resident Evil 4 [Remake] – Welcome to Spanish Village Life

Welcome to the beautiful country of Spain. Here you will never go cold, as Spain is the country of the sun! To make sure your vacation here will be one to remember, don’t for any reason anger the locales. They do not like outsiders much. If by any chance this happens, be sure to keep a health-spray handy, and run like hell unless you want to get uncomfortable close to the Las Plagas. And you don’t want that!

Resident Evil 4 (remake) is one of the better remakes that has been made and does not feel like a pure cash grab on our dear nostalgia. However, even if I enjoyed it, I can’t help to feel that in the end, it’s just a huge waste of time narrative-wise – as the franchise treads water in the same old murky pool that we already have splashed around in for years.

But going by the news, this patch seems to have totally broken the game, and this is not to exaggerate the problems. Some of these issues are actually game-stopping, or will just cause your game to crash outright.

Someone has made a 10-page Google document of all the issues, which can be found here. Here is a small list that caught my eye of some of the complications (text copied from the Google document).

Halo TV show: Episode 3, season 2

Boy, can it get worse? Probably. At least in this episode, they acknowledge that Master Chief is just a grunt, and should not have any kind of special knowledge, or privilege from Fleetcom. Like all soldiers, he should follow orders, and do what he is told. However, as seen, John can’t just help himself. He gets hunches of bad things, and his PTSD from fighting aliens seems to be all too much for him to function properly as a tool of doom. So he steals planes and makes up fake missions for his team…
