MOST LOVED MOST HATED RM GAMES

from dethmetal
Most loved:
Demon Hunter - Seeker of Power
Pokemon the Evil Inside 2

Man, for a second there, lemme tell ya...

I won't lie; I usually browse topics like these just to see if/where anything I made was mentioned (like I did just now!). I suppose for anyone to really love or hate my games, they'd have to actually try them first.

I could list the games I was impressed by, but most of the ones I played on RMN I ended up reviewing anyway, so you can kinda see my opinions of them there.

...okay, fine, just one shout-out: U.S.G. ~A New Beginning~

Legion Saga 1 suffered from a slow walk speed and a too high encounter rate. Also, I never understood why or how Durane was brainwashed.

Games that I liked:
Pokemon Evil Inside II
Dragon Warrior 4: Renaissance (Sadly it was cancelled, would've loved to see the full game)
Hero's Realm (Nobody here can hate it)
The Way
Everlasting Journey
Aptos Adventures DX (We need more games like this)

Games I disliked:

Demon Legacy (I didn't really understand the plot, but eh, not that I even understand games that have a dark theme and plot. Or I really doubt that I even know if it has dark theme and plot)
Demon Destiny
Complete Chaos, and other Yeaster's games. (Sorry, I somewhat feel constantly that they're repetitive in gameplay D: )

Guess I'll make my lil' list:

Liked:
Alter Aila and AAGenesis
Book of Three
Legend of the Philosophers Stone
Devil Hunter: Seeker of Power
A Blurred Line
Sacred Earth
Naufragar: Crimson
Rose Chronicles
Legion Saga 1,2,3, R and Curse of Silence.
Zephyrus and the Kingdom of Heaven

Disliked:
Gaia's Destiny: A New Threat
Boss Project IV (Nothin' personal Ephiam)
Somewhat Chronicles of Haledoes (the game got glitchy and confusing at some points.)

You are awesome for mentioning this. I hope this game gets considered for a feature.

doubtful, the download isn't even there.

How have people not mentioned Light Prism or Migai Shinoyu?

Funny, the combat in Visions and Voices is the only thing I enjoyed about it. I absolutely loved the combat, the difficulty on nightmare mode felt perfect. But the story, graphics, exploration, equipment, noncombat skills, and everything else felt like they added nothing to the game. It could have just been an endless string of battles and I would have had exactly as much fun.

The worst RPG Maker games I've played are ones that aren't on this site because they would never be accepted by any site that had any sort of criteria. Most of them were on Don Miguel's board. They were typically some fuckhead's first attempt at making a game, and said fuckhead probably spent about 10 hours figuring out the maker and slapping together some sort of bullshit that ended up looking similar to what an extraterrestrial might produce if they only had a very vague description of what a video game was. Thankfully, I don't remember any of their names, though I'm pretty sure most of them had titles like Jake's Game.

The RM game I have the fondest memories of is The Most Stupidest Game Ever: Re-Duh.

Loved
Sword and the Fish
Take Down Legacy Remix
The Way IV
Legendary Adventure
A Blurred Line
Alter Aila (I liked the original a lot, but the bosses were so hard haha)

Disliked
Can't remember right now. I'm usually pretty good at finding games that I know I'll like.

Somehow I am incoherently overjoyed to see that Cosplay Crisis hasn't been mentioned. Don't ask why. Probably because I assume it's always going to be under disliked :>.

Anyway...RM games that I liked...

Alter A.I.L.A Genesis, what I played of it
Sacred Earth: Bonds

Most hated:
Vacant Sky
Visions and Voices, only really for the battles
Legendary Legend

The Way's probably my favorite RPG Maker game. It's followed very, very closely by Dhux's Scar. Oddly enough, both were made using 2000! I guess that when it comes down to it, the skill and soul of the creator is ultimately more important than the flexibility of the maker itself.

Hero's Realm is third (and is probably the best in terms of mechanics.) Lost Scenario and Exit Fate come right after. Sword and the Fish is pretty cute. The Longing Ribbon's absolutely terrifying. Wildcard's remarkably underrated and very well made. Everlong's probably the most polished game I've played in the engine, although it isn't as interesting as any of those listed above.

Leo and Leah and The Reconstruction stand a pretty good chance of making it up there if I finish them. As for RPG Maker games I hate...well, I make a point not to play games that I don't have fun playing, so I think it's kind of a waste of effort to actively campaign against projects that people probably spent a great deal of time making. I do think that Shadows of Evil: The Wings of Time was a stronger game in its previous incarnation, though, so I guess there is that?
