Hey d00d, glad you're back.
Make sure you add my new game to the list...or just play it and review it, whatever. Somebody needs to.

Ok Demon Destiny;
1. Intro
too long, almost turned it off halfway because it was getting ridiculous.
2. Mapping
Strange, needs work.
3. For christ sake people, stop calling your characters "Slade". It's not a cool
name, it's unoriginal, it's downright retarded. What about the name Slade makes
people think "WOW! This is such a great, timeless and original name!!!"???
4. Character faces; no no no. Too many faces pulled from too many different sources.
It makes the game look terribly unorganized.
5. The sword of *insert japanese sounding name here*. Japan-ism is all too prevalent in RM games, i've noticed. It really takes away from your work when you go too pseudo-Japanese with it. Just a thought, but i'd like to see more of the author's flavor than the author's FANDOM's flavor.
6. I heard tunes pulled from 8-Eyes, an old NES game by a now nonexistant company, Taxan. ...it was weird.
7. There seems to be not much rhyme or reason to the quest as a whole, and the battle system is way too easy to exploit.
Ok, moving on to 1873, Chaos, let's see what'cher made of.

I welcome your assault. ;)
Note, though, that many issues with the current download have been fixed by now, so don't be too surprised if you hear "already did that" or "got that already".

Um... I can't get your game to work; Where's the "click here to start the game up" icon?
I unzipped your folder, and it's absent.

Just copy and paste a RPG_RT file from an existing project and place it in project thats missing it. It does work, I do it all the time!
Wow...based on what I've seen so far, Asa's a pretty harsh critic! Do you only focus and what you feel needs improved, or do you have anything positive to say about the games you've played?

Well he said a few positive stuff about my game ... but Asa always gives a completely honest rating which I do like.
I hate when people say stuff like "Your battle system was ok" (Even though they probably hated every moment of it). I'd rather a person give me ideas on what I should improve on, rather than trying not to hurt my feelings

I'm all for honest criticism, but it doesn't have to be harsh to be honest. For example...
It's his personal opinion that the name "Slade" is ridiculous (pun of "slayed," though, right?). He doesn't offer any alternatives except that it's terrible and must be changed, meanwhile admitting that many other people seem to think it's a cool/interesting name. He might've done better offering the same advice like this:
3. Okay, why did you decide to name your character "Slade?" I know it sounds like a cool name, but it's a really obvious pun and it makes your game feel juvenile. I think you'd be better off considering something else instead, or you may find that people won't take your game so seriously.
Now, was that really so hard? I'm not saying people should sugar-coat their answers and avoid giving honest feedback, but it's possible to be forward without being rude!

Slade is one of those things that happen to bring out the worst in me, heh heh.
If you read my reviews, it's not all meanness for the sake of being mean, I actually do offer constructive criticism. Slade however, is a bad thing. I don't usually tell you what to name your characters, that's really up to the author. Just please don't call em' Slade, because everyone else and their mothers have already done that dumb name to hell and back several times over, and as you pointed out, it cheapens your game sometimes to complete value-less levels.
Asa: That's very interesting how much you abhor the name Slade! Any other massively overused RPG names one should avoid?

Definitely anything Japanese. How many Ryu's and Sakura's and Shinichi's and so on and so forth are we gonna have to suffer through?
Like I said before, people's game should be about THEIR story and characters, not their fandoms and hidden aspiration to be Manga artists with a hit Anime.

I can think of three or four RM* games offhand that use the name Slade.
Demon Legacy and The Way are two well known ones that do.

Yeah, there definitely needs to be a law against characters named Slade.
I mean, who STARTED that trend? I wish I could say that INITIALLY it was a cool name, but no, it's pretty much always been a lame character name! I would write in a character in my game called Slade ONLY to have the man commit suicide because he can't live with the torture of being called that and not have the right to change his name to something respectable or even NORMAL.
It would go something like:
"Hi, welcome to my shop! what can I get for you?"
"your nametag says Slade...*snicker*"
"You... you bastard! It's not my fault my parents didn't love me!"
"wait... man, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PAIN OF CARRYING THIS HORRIBLE NAME! IN THE WORLD OF NAMING, MINE RANKS BETWEEN "Drew Peacock" and "Hugh G. Rection" IN TERMS OF SILLINESS! THAT'S IT! NO ONE IS GOING TO LAUGH AT SLADE VAMPIREKILLER ANYMORE!
*puts gun to head* YOU MADE ME DO THIS, YOU CRUEL BASTARD... YOOUUU DIIIIID!!"
*bang*
"I guess it's a little uh... late to buy potions now. Dammit, I shoulda just bought my crap and left him alone, but NO. I HAD to laugh."

I think that's because it already carries its' own reputation with Dragon Warrior I.
Still, Erdrick is MILES ahead of Slade. Lightyears, even.

I originally gave the main character of Demon Legacy the name "Slade" because I remembered the name from the English dub of Tekkaman Blade that used to air on UPN Sunday mornings. :-X
For those that are curious here it is!

There are also few other things the influenced my early on in that video...

By my reckoning, I have either the second or third RM2k game (depending on what date you count from, release or start of development, it's Demon Legacy I'm competing with here, The Way definitely has me beat) to use the name Slade for a major character.
At the time I was not aware of any other characters in RM games named Slade.
One difference is that in my case it was a LAST NAME (which it is in life!) and not an ONLY NAME like it is in medieval fantasy settings.
Also, I do not AT ALL think Slade is a bad name (I wouldn't have chosen it if I did) my only complaint when other people use it is more like...hey, my name! :-\
