SBESTER'S PROFILE

author=eplipswich
Shooting is pretty much what criticism is all about. People wouldn't even care if it isn't featured. If my own game is criticised to this point, i would improve at it rather than shoot back. While i know you are pissed that there are people who are shooting this game, this is what criticism is all about. It's a harsh world out there. What would the world be without harsh criticism?

Though I must say, this kind of criticism just for this game is really unnecessary, since the author has pretty much moved on to other things and is an old game per say. He won't come back, really. So these people are really shooting at the wall. Doesn't hurt to voice out though, of course.

I have found it quite peculiar he hasn't returned here, I'm sure he will one day though, and he'll have a lot of reading to do lol.

I won't lie though, I'm shocked at the backlash this game received as well. I thought Fable of Heroes was much more deserving of the criticism (damn you, slow walk speed!). But seriously, constructive criticism isn't the main feature of this discussion.

A Gundam Mech!

when i was... i think 12 i made a game in rpgmaker 2000 where i believe exactly that happened. gundam mech and all. i wonder if i still have it.

I need to play this!

There is some extreme hate in this topic, guys. Let's calm it down.

yeah so many people enjoyed it that's why there is an overwhelmingly negative response and dozens of topic pages across the forum discussing how poor a decision it was to feature it

Actually, at the time it was first featured, the game page's wall was filled with ONLY positive comments and the reviews were both 4/5. The staff had no reason to believe any of this would happen.

the author takes responsibility for making a mediocre and not very funny game; the site takes responsibility for featuring it. not too hard to do......

The community takes responsibility for never being content with anything that goes on here.

I'm a bit worried about the length of EL3 atm, but we'll see how it goes. It is a lot more like the first game with a world map and different continents to explore, however, it isn't as free roaming as the first and second games. I'm going to give it two endings, each with their own final mission.

Awesome, thanks for reviewing!

I think this is a very fair score, and you really do a fine job pointing out the game's major flaws. I personally feel that the game started out pretty strong in terms of dungeon design, and then faded back into lazy maze-like caverns found in the first game. I think that perhaps this was because I lost interest in the ugly prisonworld of Valhalla, and yearned to be done with it (also the reason there was no final boss lol). I could list a bunch of excuses, like end of term for my masters program, wanting to make my 4 month development deadline, or whatever... but mainly I just ran out of steam a bit. Nevertheless, I will be sure to apply your issues to making a better version when I release the trilogy collection.

Overall, I agree with everything in this review, which leads me to believe that the most critical issues are the most obvious ones. It should make improving it much easier on me, especially looking at the main points you listed ( I definitely need to address the story issues, as sometimes minimalist dialogue can ruin ideas for a coherent plot lol).
