If your game has these words in its title, it's a big red flag
author=Sauceauthor=kentonaIf it's a spoof of everything RPG, I'm in.
my next game is going to be called Big Red Flag.
Oh, you mean like all kentona's games? hooooooooo
I have the phrase "toot-sweet" stuck in my head.
I really am not sure what it means and more importantly, I don't know where the hell I heard it, but holy crap I have the desperate yearning to use it in every sentence.

Really, both of those things are key. We should curtail overly mindless insults towards newbies while slowly allowing them to realize that not everything they do is perfect and not everyone is going to like it.

If that wasn't the case I need to go revise some of my posts. Like the ones about being "hard on people."
"He was a great man, risen from small stature, now standing tall as the leader of the hard on people..."

If we start talking about sex I think this topic will have covered all the major fields of philosophy!

Respectfully, yes, but not so sugarcoated that the point is lost, Max.
I lived by this thought until age 19, whereupon I had the most insane and horrible time of my life and then decided to stop fucking around and just start enjoying what life has to offer.
insert "because i let jesus into my life"
I have actively refuted this hypothesis non-stop for the past fifteen years, since becoming aware of this point of view at Age 10.

I wonder how rare my viewpoint is? I get the feeling that most people are in it for either the entertainment or the limelight, and not just to create something beautiful.
I like to create the games I want to play that don't already exist. Admittedly, I'd like to make enough money to live doing it, but that's becoming increasingly secondary to me.
Also this explains my rampant dive into procedural generation :D
The world is horror and sorrow and suffering and pain. To anyone who soaks that in and excretes the joy of games or art or fiction that can help alleviate our own constant suffering, we should be profoundly grateful.
At times, but an astonishingly large part of the world is dependent on personal outlook - positive or negative. I used to think like you, too. This really isn't the topic for existentialism, though.
DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY DISAGREE THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO BE A BIT NICER AND MORE POLITE TO NEW MEMBERS WHEN ASSESSING THEIR GAMES?
I've seen examples of politeness and rudeness. Do I think there needs to be a minimum standard of niceness? Eh, not really. I'd rather have it managed by the community instead of some facist-esque rule.
I like fully-fleshed out reasoning and logic behind criticism (see Deckiller's post above). If you don't provide that, rethink what you are saying, or GTFO.

Of course. But considering that they SOAK IN THE HORROR that is the world and SHIT OUT THE JOY that is good games, they ARE doing you a fucking favor, especially if they're not charging for it.
The world ain't a horror. Even if it sucks sometimes. Even if it sucks real hard sometimes.
The fact is, no matter what the subject is, someone somewhere will have a negative opinion of it, and I believe 100% that people should be as blunt and honest as possible. You don't have to shout your beliefs from the rooftop, but in a community such as this one, where people of similar mindsets gather, beliefs and opinions can and should be exchanged freely. I believe people should learn to formulate well-thought-out opinions before they speak, but this problem tends to take care of itself as the other members shut that person out for being obnoxious (as is happening right now).
I'm gonna keep posting my opinions, even if they're negative.
Which is eventually exactly what I will be doing.
Good for you! Come join me, it's quite a lot of fun. Be aware, though, that there are a lot more people out there who don't sugarcoat opinions, as it should be.
If critics are respectful, developers CAN'T be dicks without it being EMBARRASSINGLY OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE how dickish they are. The solution starts with the audience. Once feedback is basically respectful, the way the CREATORS treat the AUDIENCE becomes a non-issue because the creators have no EARTHLY REASON to be anything but polite.
And vice-versa, for dickish critics and polite developers. BAM

Dude, I don't believe anyone is doing anyone any favors. The best designers makes games because they want to and need to make games, irrelevant of praise.
Like everything else in life, it's a trade - the designer got to have fun making the game, and I got to have fun playing it. He doesn't owe me for playing his game, but I don't owe him if I had fun. If he wants something more for the trade, he can charge me money.
I'm not going to live by some standard where I'm only allowed to have positive opinions.

I said that people should be nice and constructive IN REVIEWING AND COMMENTING ON GAMES.
I never said that no one is allowed to say FUCK YOU. When did I ever even get CLOSE to saying that?
Games are fucking DELICATE. They need special care and consideration. Your games, my games, and especially the games of n00bs.
That's the point, Max. If the developer can say fuck you, so can the reviewer. Get used to it. Games are not fucking delicate. They aren't beautiful little buds waiting to grow into beautiful flowers that angry reviewers just want to stomp on. Sometimes they are just weeds.
You are living by a very large double standard.
Even Craze knows that Visions & Voices is a fucking terrible game at this point, he was probably one of the FIRST people to admit that, although I understand that the second version that came out fixed a LOT of the problems with it.
Lol, I don't give a shit what Craze thinks about his own stuff, he's insane. It was a solid game - the first one was made in six weeks and had some solidly cool gameplay design, despite being broken as fuck, and the second one was actually quite enjoyable. I've gotten jealous of some of his ideas more than once and admittedly they're quite tempting to steal.
