Review scoring: standardization, professionalism, etc.
errr no it doesn't work that way - you think nicoB didn't put any effort into his game? saying 'people should make better games,' isn't going to help or change anything...
Review scoring: standardization, professionalism, etc.
i thought everyone went by the 2.5 = average rule. are we really getting so many unjustifiably high/low scores that we need to change the system? granted, sai's reviews are apparently very harsh (2.5 being such a well-deserved score 'very few games would make the cut'...:|), but i thought most reviewers had a good standing on what an average RM game is, to not only them but the rest of the community.
if it seems like a review/score is too extreme why not allow people to say 'hey i disagree, and here's why...' we're not babies, we can take it. i should think the reviewer has enough of a basis for his reasons to back up the review without having a breakdown - if not, then you can blame bias and blame the reviewer, don't blame the system(wish that didn't sound so corny haha). if someone wants to tear a game apart they will do it rating or not.
in regards to having words instead of star rating - i thought this:
Terrible -> Very Poor -> Poor -> Below Average -> Average -> Above Average -> Good -> Great -> Outstanding -> Perfect (granted i would change outstanding to excellent and perfect to exceptional/must-play or something)
was basically represented in the stars anyway so there is pretty much no point in substituting one for another if that's what people are suggesting. the same goes for a grading system to be honest, it's all basically the same thing. can't we just follow kentona's guide to being a good reviewer haha.

No save marathon game. Good or bad idea?
author=PsychoFreaXare you kidding??? quick saves mean you can't pick up from anywhere if you lose against a boss, i would never ever play a game in which i'm even 4 hours in, lose and have to repeat it all.
By the way, would everyone be okay with the quick save idea in a fifty hour game where players will probably lose against half the bosses?
50 hours is crazy and extremely ambitious. i think it's a bad idea no matter what tbh, saves are there for a good reason.
I just proposed to my fiancee using RPGmaker VX. Video included :)
Double Standards
ehh so you stole someone's sprites they had made from scratch specifically for their own game and don't understand what's wrong with that? i'm betting you didn't get permission either?
using Final Fantasy music and using a fellow developer's own resources is a totally different thing. if you spent months on portrait's specifically for your game and i ripped them and decided to use them in my own, you would be fine about that? of course not!

RPG Maker VX: Yun Sum Maker Series
if you want it enough you should buy it, don't undermine the company by stealing their products :/. we're lucky enterbrain even still does things like this taking into account its target audience.
...admittedly, they've done a really shit job of watermarking/advertising it, it's like they're asking people to steal them

Whatchu Workin' On? Tell us!
that just seems like it would be annoying for the players and unnecessary. you could have it in one particular country and integrate it into the story; if it's a total ripoff to show how corrupt the country is or something, or just to show how the country is very private about its own affairs and so uses its own form of currency. but then at least have them meet a guy who'll give them a reasonable exchange price after so it doesn't put people off wanting to go there in the future.
you don't really want to include the boring things about real life just for the sake of authenticity.

if you can't it's okay, i'll just bow out of this one.
