OBLIC'S PROFILE

No, I'm not upset; I was just surprised to be honest. You are right though; considering your position, making a judgment call is difficult. I think I was kind of on edge from reading a lot of responses to F-G's review on another site. I get very annoyed by mindless masses who fall in step with the loudest person. F-G's review is fine, and krayg's reaction was a bit over the top, but when someone dubs a game "shitty" (not you, a comment I read elsewhere) it rubs me the wrong way, especially when one review is their only exposure to the game. Either way, not important. Water under the bridge I hope?

What is important is helping me find the last Rave Packet recipient (those that have played know what I'm talking about)!



I wish I kept track of everyone that takes one, but I didn't. Any suggestions would be great anyway!

Thanks!

The good review of it was rather vague. But I haven't played it myself (I don't make time to play games these days) so I just going by what I've seen and heard of the game, tis all.

Wow... I just lost a bit of respect for you with this one... Normally, I let people feel the way they want about a game, but not having played it and passing judgement so quickly?

No biggy. I just thought you gave games a bit more credit than that.

Wow... I wish I could have seen the criticism. I have had nothing but fun (and the typical frustration of playing a good game) while traversing this game. Anyway, thanks guys. I think I'll try to get in touch with him. Maybe I could revive this game on RMN? Granted, I am not really familiar with the rules on posting games, but I'm sure I could read up on it so I don't cause trouble. Thanks again!

EDIT: I finally tracked him down! The game is actually still available on mdiafire (I think, I'll copy the link later...). Thanks again all, especially chana for his whereabouts!

But ultimately, its your game, so do what you want! I personally would find it strange to have Link talk just like it would be strange for a Dragon Warrior hero to talk as well. I'm sure your game will do fine whatever you decide though!

I agree, this is your game, do what you feel would make it the most appropriate. I understand your concern with how people would receive it, but making these games is about having fun, not pleasing the masses. I will agree to some extent that it be a bit odd to have Link talk the first few times, but I'd get used to it, and it wouldn't ruin the game by any means. Plus, I'm sure you're not going to give him dialogue that reflects what was shown above. That would go completely against the promise of logical, concise, meaningful dialogue.

I also agree that imagination can't always encompass the way the character (or for that matter the player) would respond. There are several occasions where I would love to tell an NPC to shove it! Considering the way Link complies with almost everything throughout the series, I don't feel like that was ever a response that I could have "imagined". The least compliant you could possibly be is to just say "No", which seems so bland. Giving the author the ability to paint the character in a way he/she sees fit usually helps to enhance the gaming experience.

Either way, do what you think seems right. Personally, I will play the hell out of this game regardless. Little things like these shouldn't be a game-ending decision. To me, this choice is like trying to decide if you should put sprinkles on a cake or not: if you do, it will be a bit more unique than what was expected, and if you don't, no one will notice that they aren't there.

Don't forget the ocean.

Holy hell that was EXTREMELY obscure... I just tried something because it was the only thing that I thought was even close...

EDIT: The sad thing is, I got the "play it by ear" one in about 2 seconds...
