You disgust me. You remind of those fresh recruits who didn't know what CBS was or even CMS meant. You're the same kind of person who doesn't know the exact size of a charset frame unless he went into paint and counted the pixels. You're the same kind of person who can't even position a picture without having hit the test play button until your random numerical guesses were correct. You're the same kind of person who can't put RESPLENDENT POWER INTO YOUR WORK IN HONOR OF THE MISAOS. Do you know how much money and fame you get from a misao? Huh? Take a guess. Don't know? Get out. Just, get out.

*Tear rolls down cheek* That was beautiful.

...worst case of vaporitis ? ???

Overhyped, promising, interesting ideas, but never even made it to the demo stages. I think.

I say we should bring Best Protagonist and Best Antagonist back. I like April's Child's idea of adding Most Promising Newcomer.

I just don't see why a half-finished game should get "Best RPG" or whatever. For all we know, the unfinished parts of the game could be completely shit!

At last, somebody that sees my point on the debate of Demos vs. Completed games for the Misaos. I am aware that to actually complete a game (yes, even the not so good ones!), it requires a certain quality that some of you seem to lack. This explains why less than 10% of the games posted in RMN are actually complete (Can somebody actually explain why this is so and what can be done to change this?).

Encouraging people to produce mostly Demos that become projects that get CANCELLED, are NEVER released or take a LONG time to be released as a complete game is something that doesn't make sense. Especially if you consider or award one of them with one of the major awards, such as GOY, IMHO. For some of the other awards, I don't see as much of an issue for the Demos, if the work merits the award or nomination.

Sorry if I ticked somebody off, but I'm pretty sure some of you will happen to agree with this argument, especially those who have actually released complete games and would like to see their efforts rewarded.

I believe that only completed games should be eligible for such awards, and that demos or cancelled games should be restricted to awards pertaining only to demos and such.

Why is it feasable to give an unfinished game an award such as "Game Of The Year" when you haven't even seen fully what it offers? It could decline in quality as the end draws near for example. There's also a chance it may be cancelled.

There aren't many completed games around these days :'(.

I sort of agree with you Kentona, but what I am saying is sort of like... Ugh, trying to explain it... What if the demo itself is good and takes GoTY, but then knowing that they bagged that, the creator does a real half assed job on everything else.

Say it was a one hour demo. That means one hour is real good, and the rest not so...
