Alcarys Complex giveaway #2 - Review Challenge WINNER
Wow... I didn't even know about this, haha! I did those two reviews on a whim... really seems weird that I did them last minute, too. I wonder if I were somehow possessed...
Beta Testing: The Next Generation

Hey sportsfans! I think I need an extra day or two for polish.
god this is dragging out forever and I hate that.
Forever seems like a short time compared to the couple years prior. Polish is good; take your time.
Final push

For the 6 or so of you that are actually waiting for this game to be completed, you will have to wait another weekend. I am *just* about finished, but I have a few things to wrap up in the main game (mostly the final battle and the end game cutscene) and then the "extras" I wanted to add, like New Game+ and transferring saves between Generica and G:TNG.
So, most likely this will be released Monday.
So, am I one of the 6, or am I the 7th...?
I haven't been paying too much attention since the recent updates; I have been quietly waiting the the shadows with my fingers crossed, hoping that my silence would pay off... but I couldn't help myself. The more I get involved in a game prior to its release, the longer it takes to come out...
REALLY stoked about this getting finished! I barely remember what happened in the first game, so I may take the weekend to replay it to get ready for this one's release (since your trying to get saves to transfer).
GOOD LUCK MIGHTY OVERLORD!

@samji: If you have to post something new and you were the last one to post, just edit that post. Try not to post more than once in a row... just a helpful tip.
The Rare/Obscure RM Games Request Topic
Damn... just scrolling through some of these and seeing some of the titles in here, I'm half tempted to just stockpile a ton of these games for my next big vacation.
Anywho... I recently found a game called Blades of Heaven but all the DL links I find of it are dead. Anyone still have it?
Thanks in advance!

author=Ashes of Emeraldauthor=OblicAwesome! I'm super excited to hear everything you have to say and look forward to it!
And... DONE!
I finished a short-ish review that I will upload later today. It's on my laptop and I really don't feel like doing the whole USB transfer thing (I don't have wifi...).
Also, just a quick question, when did you download it and finish it?
I downloaded and finished it pretty much right away, but I didn't encounter any of the bugs mentioned above. I guess I got lucky.

Star Stealing Prince Review
Jesus Christ... I left for a few days (partially because of this long string of comments, partially to get some IRL work done) and this tirefire is STILL burning... I came on here only to find out that there were 250 some-odd new notices, most of which came from this review! I have wanted to respond to more of the comments since my last post (which I feel ever so slightly bad about, but not much), but I felt like it would only be throwing another gallon of gasoline on this seemingly endless inferno. I'm not saying the discussion should stop, but I really feel like it's getting way off topic... I'm pretty sure everything that can be said, has been (although I have been enjoying the EXTREMELY labored analogies that have come out of all this).
It's amazing how something so insignificant can really get people so riled up that they start going for the throats of those that may have supported them in the past. I like this community, a lot, and it really bugs me when this vitriolic craziness occurs. Sure, there are valid points on both sides, but I feel like some of it has seriously gotten out of hand (personal attacks and crazy (yet endlessly entertaining) analogies). And, yes, I had my part in this, but isn't six pages of (mostly) angry attacks already enough?
*climbs down from soapbox*
I love RMN, and everything that comes with it, especially the community, but it's stuff like this that worries me. Maybe I'm over analyzing this whole thing, but still...
*okay, for real this time... off the soapbox*
Edit: Wow, in the 15 minutes it took me to type this sappy thing, Ronove beat me to the punch! At least I'm not the only one feeling the way I do.

Star Stealing Prince Review
Wow... alright.
First, I would like to reiterate by saying I had very little trouble with this game difficulty-wise. I really feel like it was pretty balanced, and I want to echo Volrath by saying the game probably is near impossible without the utilization of status effects. Unless something was changed in one of the more recent updates, status affects hit fairly often, especially for the player, making it pretty easy to blind/put to sleep/paralyze/stun the enemy before they "mop the floor with your party".
Next, you say you are trying to be fair and honest in your criticism of the game. Alright... if that's the case, I feel like you missed quite a few assets that the game offers. I understand your annoyance with the "mainstream" RPG genre. Square, company I once loved, and to some degree still do, pissed away a ton of opportunities to make some truly amazing games, only to focus on the visual assets. But an indie game like this and most others on this site are labors of love. These people don't have six, seven, eight or even more figure budgets to create their assets; a lot of time and effort goes into making every little bit of these games enjoyable, which includes the music, and graphics, and deep story. If you didn't like the gameplay, fine; say so and move onto other parts of the game. It's like getting a cashmere sweater as a gift and complaining that there is a tiny red dot on the inside of it (Seinfeld reference anyone?).
My point is, instead of being informative in your review, you come off as whiny and condescending. You focus solely on what you didn't like, with somewhat fair reasoning I will add, but completely ignore the rest (a footnote saying "the game was pretty" does not count). I'm not saying you should change the score or your review of the gameplay; I'm saying that an OVERALL score of 2/5 is invalid because it does not focus on anything other than the one thing you thought was lacking. Even if you think that gameplay is by far more important than any other asset a game offers, they should be given some consideration into the final score of the game, shouldn't they?
I've written a handful of reviews, and yes, the scores I give are generally good, but I will tear apart the parts I didn't enjoy or thought were lacking. If I thought there was something wrong with the story, I'll say so, and I'll do my best to explain why. If the graphics were boring and unengaging, I'll point it out. I know my breakdowns can be boring and seem somewhat juvenile, but it's both easier for me to portray my thoughts and for the reader to digest. A page long rant on how a game is "unplayable" doesn't really tell the reader much about why you thought it was unplayable (even though you posit that you have given reasons for its difficulty, I fail to see where).
To be perfectly honest, I really don't think this review will affect this game or its popularity, and that's not at all why I replied to it. I personally have no emotional attachment to this game at all. I thought it was fun, but I haven't thought about in months, and only clicked the notice for the review out of shear curiosity. If anything, I'm trying to point out why I feel your review is unhelpful, and in the process help you understand why you are being inundated with other replies that agree. Sorry to be a bit of a condescending dick, but I couldn't really help myself. I feel like I had to respond in kind.
