Iron Gaia Review
I wholeheartedly agree with this review. This was one of my favorite RPGMaker games back in the day. I have since played other games that were better on a technical level, but this still holds a place in my heart. I thought it was a very well crafted story. My main complaint with the game were the inconsistent graphics and facesets. That's why I became very excited some (and subsequently disappointed) some years back when Max released the first 10% of the game with updated graphics.
Journeyman Review
This thread is very depressing. I became a fan of Max's games about six or seven years ago (he was known as Legion at the time). I loved Iron Gaia, Backstage, The Tower, Eldritch, and that other game with the Paladin Quest graphics that I can't remember the name of. They had numerous gameplay problems but had very good atmosphere and interesting character interactions. I have always been willing to put up with the rough gameplay in exchange for a nice story. However over the years, Max's games have become less and less story focused and the unforgiving gameplay had become more prevalent. I can't fault him for this but I always thought the story was his strong suit. Over the past few years it has been disheartening to see him freak out every time someone writes a review that isn't positive. I've been afraid to give any feedback for fear of causing more controversy. I was there at the Iron Gaia II incident and I understand why Max has become hypersensitive, but this is too much.
This was a very fair review and you treated it like emmych spit in your face. I don't know if this was your intent but in your long reply you essentially said that everyone who dislikes anything about your game can go fuck themselves. This is offensive to pretty much everybody. After this reaction I will find it difficult to play any Max McGee game, let alone give any sort of feedback. I hope I have not offended you. I do not wish you any ill will.

AFTERMATH VX - Version 0.4 Review
I just went back and read drakiyth's posts again. Someone's been taking full advantage of the edit function.

Fuck It Review
This review has almost no specific details. You could paste this review onto half the games on RMN and it would still hold true. That being said I've played this game and this review still doesn't seem accurate.
Legendary Legend Review
I'd be shocked if anyone who has been reading these forums played this game for the first time and then broadcasted a favorable opinion of it.
Legendary Legend Review

People were overwhelmingly supportive of Hitler too before he started subjugating Europe and killing Jews
Its official, Legendary Legend has officially been compared to Hitler.
To Arms! Review
I don't know about everyone else, but I certain preconceptions when going into any RPG.
The vast majority of RPGs, both commercial and amateur, take it easy on the player. I'm used to being able go though most of the game with minimal use of items. Being able to go back to town whenever you want is an idea so prevalent that I assume the game will let me do so. Thus when I first played this game I went into the first mission sorely unprepared. I had no idea how many battles I would be fighting or how much damage I would be taking so I had to restart.
Many games have a "this shit just got real" moment when you realize that the game is no longer pulling any punches and you have to give it your all in every fight in order to win. I felt this moment 10 minutes into To Arms and that is to early for my comfort. Most games start out with a "training area" to get them familiar with the mechanics of the game. For example, in Final Fantasy Tactics it was possible to beat the first few battles using only Squires with no abilities or items. That doesn't mean every player will be using that strategy, but the game provides a safety net nevertheless. Realizing you do not have that net is a very jarring experience.
As for the language, again I think its a matter of expectations. Most commercial RPGs are rated for Teens or lower so the word fuck is rarely found. Since most of us grew up playing games with PG rated dialogue, most RPGMaker games follow the same standards. After many years of conditioning, seeing a sprite say the work fuck throws you off guard. When The Witcher was initially released many people complained about the R-rated dialogue stating that it just didn't feel right. Eventually much of the dialogue was rerecorded and the swearing was toned down. I not saying Max should conform to the standards but you have to realize what most people expect.
I personally like when a setting makes up its own curse words. This allows for strong language without making the characters sound like foul mouthed teenagers. It I told you to "Pike off, berk!" you would know what I meant. I feel this gives the dialog more flavor without sacrificing its intent.
By the way, I also ended up with two grunts named Malcolm. For a while I thought the game had given me two copies of the same character. This made combat needlessly confusing.
Well thats it for my rant. But I'm just a guy with no makerscore so what the fuck do I know.

To Arms! Review
comment=37024comment=36995lol, it is called the "vx" effect bro. just churn out bad games for the sake of making something on a new maker. at least i can appreciate the direction of the iron gaia games, but these games are just so beyond unappealing.
This game is fucking terrible, I'm actually surprised this got as many as 2,5 stars.
Witness the downfall of Legion - from excellent story-driven RPGs and adventure games to terrible gameplay-centric abominations based on awful game-design decisions. From Iron Gaia and Backstage to Mage Duel and To Arms!. Awesome progression, you're maturing as a developer, all right.
Wow, just wow. Max just can't catch a break no matter what he does.
