Which game was the biggest disappointement for you?

author=Lezales
Dragon Age: Origins really disappointed me. I find it to be a really average RPG. People are defending it's 20 to 30 hours of gameplay when I've been spending that and more only on the first CD of FFVII as a reference. Twenty to thirty hours is absolutely nothing in the RPG world, but because game development company have been releasing games of around 5 hours of gameplay, twenty hours seems a lot to the younger and less hardcore audience. Also it's replayability was pretty null. A distinct introduction for each race or so. Then the rest of the game it's the same story with only slight changes. Very disappointing. The graphics were ok I guess, I'm not a graphic bitch. Music was actually good and I found the story quite linear and boring.


I spent approximately 84 hours playing Dragon Age: Origins proper, and another 22 or playing Awakening, and another 10 or so playing the other campaign DLC. If you think the game has 20 hours of gameplay you're probably skipping all of the dialogue, avoiding the majority of the quests, and in general not really trying. Probably because it didn't click with you for whatever reason, but man the length is definitely there.

Dry August and warm doth stats no harm

Where are we at with 'MOST REVIEWS' kentona? I want to see how far I have to go before overtaking some bitches.


Isn't there a "top reviewer" statbox right on the main reviews page? Or are you talking about something different?

Staff List

He's not, which was my point!

Staff List

Darken's list is fairly accurate.

For the record, this is an issue that was already noticed and addressed in RMN4. We're lazy and not making any updates to RMN3 -- no DLC for you! It's in the sequel.

In the mean time, I hope WIP's inbox is enjoying all of the complaints from people who visit the about page.

Valkyrie Stories - Escallion Rising Review

author=mellytan
this review is indeed pretty asinine. but i guess it is another example of how rmn reviews are like amazon reviews, they're only rejected if the author heils hitler or threatens to blow up post office 03477. at least adon didn't give it 5/5 based on how fast the download was or something.

Nearly 40% of all reviews submitted to this site are rejected and never see the light of day on rpgmaker.net. The moderation results are even more stringent for games, where only 37% of submissions ever are accepted. Both of those statistics include times that a submission was originally denied for various reasons before being fixed and ultimately accepted -- making the initial approval rate even less. To suggest that everything that tries to come through the gates is accepted is an opinion that, well, isn't based on facts at all.

What's the big deal about expecting good writing in a review so it does not reflect our site as one of bad content?

I agree with this to an extent. However, what do you think reflects worse on the site -- that there is bad user-created content that exists along with the good, or that anytime a newer user submits content that maybe isn't up to snuff they are mocked, ridiculed and ran off with pitchforks?

For a personal example, there was a new rpgmaker.net user that joined a few months ago that was pretty tenured in another community. They submitted their game here it looked pretty original and quality-- I was following it. They abruptly quit two months later and when I asked them about it, they stated it was because of this type of negativity in the community that they decided to leave and go somewhere more positive.

This kind of stuff happens a lot and it's just not new people that it puts off. I know it's easier to complain about something than try to be helpful, but sometimes we let that get out of hand.

PHANTASY STAR III2K Review

Deckiller is right, this game was released a relatively decent time after A Blurred Line. For pre-ABL Lys games, try The Book of Three.

As far as Phantasy Star III2k is concerned, however, I believe the game was released as part of one of Lys' original Release Something! events and was in no way meant to be a polished release. This was back when RS! events were actual "stop production midstream and show us what you have so far!" moments and not about synchronizing release dates for polished demos.
