AMERK'S PROFILE

Since we are talking about improvements, I really think the "New to RMN" topic should have its own category under the Forum link, maybe at the top, as it may be difficult for new people to find. It's helped me quite a bit myself when I first joined RMN and I still reference it from time to time. Just a suggestion.

I've just started playing this myself and really enjoy it. Aside from the real thing (and maybe Chrono Crisis) this really looks nicely done... much better than the Chrono Chronicles some time back.

My only suggestion (possibly for the Alter Remix) is to fix the intro a bit. Not everybody may know the actual story or may not recall a lot of it, so starting the game during a simplified fight against Lavos from the end of Chrono Trigger may be the way to go.

Something like:

Chrono and company briefly talk about the fate of the world and why they must stop Lavos. They engage in a fight and win. A brief scene of everybody moving on with their lives. Then starting the game 1 year later with Chrono meeting with Marle and showing Lavo's return. It's not perfect, but it may help with getting more people in tune with the game.

Well, enough talk... time for me to go back to playing this.

Alas, out of all the games on this site, somehow the thought I may never see a completion to Generica's sequel disturbs me the most.

Okay, coming on here in the middle of a ton of postings will probably mean my posting will get lost in the shuffle, but I really hope you reconsider this. There's no other place like RMN. RRR attempts to come close, but still does't hold a candle. This site was the most organized in terms of game downloads. Yes, I definitely think it could use a makeover, probably a forum will people can discuss games more openly, while leaving the actual game pages closed except for the designer to blog and specifically ask for feedback on that blog or for players to add a review.

However, I really do understand the frustration and the spamming and the hate. I don't know why it has to come to that. I have tried many times to find the good and not so good on any game I've played. But to take down a site due to some bad apples? I can understand closing it, tweaking it, fixing it to make it easier for the good guys to get together and the bad guys to disappear, but to lose this forever?

Only 3 sites are available that I use consistently. This is one, RRR is next, and finally rpgmakervx.net. The other two are good for tutorials and such, but not as well developed or organized as this one. So please, please don't close this site down. If you have to, do like the VX site does. If people can't play nice, they may get a warning, or they may be outright banned depending on the action. They have a Zero Tolerance level to spammers, flamers, and thieves, and it seems to be working quite effectively.

On a side note, I better start making sure to download everything I can!
