As you might have seen,i did an article reviewing/discussing the Japanese Sailor Moon S for Game Gear.I was wondering what you thought,and if you'd like me to review any of the other import games,or even some USA games i have at a later date?
Thanks for your time.
-
I'm gonna be totally honest: no, not really.
This felt more like a pseudo-FAQ, except lacking the organization that most FAQs have. I mean, the only part that really covered your opinion on the game (which is what reviewing is about, expressing your opinion with some backing statements) were vague statements about how you liked it more or less than x game.
Well... why?
-
Heh. This makes me wonder how people responded to my article on Samurai Champloo. I liked that the differences in gameplay were noted, and that the mechanics of the gameplay were mentioned, but I agree with Khris that it reads too much like an FAQ. Too much "this is how the game works", not enough "The game sucks/rocks because this is how it works".
-
I liked it because i'm into the anime/manga series and i have alot of fun playing the game.There's also the fact that the Death-Busters are my fave group of Sailor Moon villians.
But it sounded like it didn't go over so well,so i guess i'll just stick to writing fics..it seems to be the one thing i do at the site that i don't get yelled at for.
-
Don't get discouraged! It was informative. It explained the game well enough that a person could make a decision on whether or not to play it versus other games of it's type. I gathered that you liked the Death Busters and all, but gameplay makes a game. Through all the explanation of it, you never said "It plays well". If you did, I missed it, and that's my fault, but in any review, that's what we're looking for. You did good, and you're welcome to submit more articles and reviews to the site. Just understand that with any criticism you're gonna get some negative feedback. Don't take it personal, just take what was said into consideration next time you try to do something else like this.
When I took Life Drawing in art school, I took a ton of rough hits in constructive criticism, all quarter long. At last, on the final project, the teacher said "YES! He's done it!" and told me that it was an excellent piece of work with good proportion and that the values on it looked convincingly like they were created by a single light source. I'd have taken another set of improvement commentary if I'd just given it up.
-
Yeah, what he said, except I would have been not as nice-sounding.
-
IG, no one is "yelling" at you.
I would seriously say take Roommates advice, dont' take everything so seriously, when I first started guitar back when I was 9, I had to deal with critcism for years, up until I was like, 14-15 years old. and that was hard. When I started writing my own music, once again, harsh criticism. But I'm still playing guitar and I'm still playing music.
You need to quit worrying about the people say that DON'T like your articles, reviews, etc. and worry about what YOU like.
If I cared what people around me liked, I'd be playing in a rap metal group right now, weigh 360 pounds again and probably be a chain smoker who eats bratwurst and fucks hookers.
But I don't. so I don't.
Just stop being so sensitive.
-
well,it's just that there have been complaints about topics i make,and with the fics,hardly anyone leaves feedback anymore as to what they like and don't like (in fact,most of the time,only the other fic writers comment on each other's fics),and as a result,i feel like i'm not really doing anything useful for the site...
but,you did have some good points there...i'll see what i can do with the next review.
NOTE: I tend to be sensitive by nature,due to my mental illness.
-
Okay,i took the suggestions to heart,and i typed up another game review,but i'm gonna wait a few days before i submit it,and fine-tune it a little.
-
Okay,i fine tuned my next review,and i'm hoping that this time,i did a better job with it.I submitted it a little while ago,so maybe we'll see it in another few days or so.Thanks for the feedback and the thoughts!
-
Ok,it looks like my new Rockman Mega World review is up....was this one an improvement?
-
Yes, much improved. The layout did good, too.

thanks!I'm glad this one turned out better. ^_^
-
See!? Now if you hadn't stuck to it there wouldn't be another bitchin' ossum article in our listings.
-
well,i also did get a new chapter of Wily Wars up today as well....I like how i've been involving Sigma in the plots lately...hee hee
Um,at some point,should i do a review of the import Saturn version of Castlevania- Symphony of the Night?
-
Review anything you want. Right now, you're probably the leading source of info on any import games, so your input on them is all we've got.
-
I think it definitely needs more pictures of tits to distract me from the writing itself.

Your atittude just talked me into quitting the site.

IG, don't you dare. Khris thinks with his dick rather than his brain. DON'T. LISTEN. TO. HIM.
-

Dude, you're a fuckin' asshole, and coming from me, that's an insult.
He's a smart guy with a lot of knowledge, and he's trying to give input on games and stuff that you normally wouldn't hear about, and maybe you might LEARN about something that would interest you instead of just shooting it down.
I like IG13, we all do, but you constantly hammering on him is gonna make him leave, and that's some bullshit.
IG, ignore him.
-
I don't like IG13, and I doubt I'm the only one so you should speak for yourself.
Anyways, straight up, I thought it was boring. That's seriously the nicest thing I can say about it, unless you want me to lie to you.
-
Just stop beating him to death over this stuff. That's about all we're asking.

That's it, someone BAN Khris. Like, now.
-
You guys are right. We should ban Khris. HOW DARE HE HAVE A DISSENTING OPINION FROM OTHERS! We love importgamer13 and all his little foibles, like filling up threads with stupid bullshit or flying off the handle over the most minute of things, ranging from being told to curb his listing activities to recieving positive criticism.
Sorry Khris, but the people have spoken. Get the FUCK out!
-
Lovely, more dissent.
-
Lovely, more dissent.
EXACTLY! We can't be having any of that here!
-
Let's all chill a little, shall we? Let's see what the thread has established so far:
1) IG13 wants feedback for his reviews.
2) He has received criticism and made an effort to improve.
3) Despite this, Khris doesn't like the reviews.
What we have yet to realize is:
1) Khris is allowed to dislike them. It's his opinion, to which he is entitled.
2) Just because Khris doesn't like them, doesn't mean he needs to be banned or that anyone should leave the site.
IG13's trying hard to contribute to the site. Maybe his contributions right now aren't as good as they could be. This is just fine. By taking in constructive criticism he can improve and get better. The only way it's gonna happen is if he keeps submitting material, which he is allowed to do.
Now, I don't want any more fighting in this thread. Got an issue with someone? Take it to PM. Agree to disagree. Ignore whatever/whoever it is that's grinding your nerves. And if IG13 asks for any more criticisms to reviews, do not flame him.
-
well said, Roommate. it's okay to post negative opinions, but let's not tear at each other's throats about it. geez...
-
lol wow, that went nuts, I never wanted to ban anyone though. And I'm usually the ban happy one.
-
I like IG13, we all do, but you constantly hammering on him is gonna make him leave, and that's some bullshit.
Well, the bullshit has alreadfy happened, in case you haven't noticed. IG13 is out, and probably didn't see your post.
-
Considering he's mentioned leaving 3 times already, I don't think this is the last we'll see of him. Actually leaving is one thing; telling people you're going to is another.

Agreed.
-
Yeah. I did that a couple at a really old site. I was "the cat that came back the next day".
I'm sure you're all smart enough to know what people who constantly leave really want.
-
A re-entry stamp on their hand?
-
IG13, I'M SORRY!
Guys, I didn't know I was such a jerk then. I was trollin'!
-
Also: very late.
-
Thread delivers. Anyone still have a link to IG13's 1up.com page?
Also, looking back at this thread, were the things said in it that bad? Or were they just taken a little too seriously? I think that in itself warrants a poll.
-
FOUND IT. (http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5644137)
He's calling himself Baxter Stockman now. :O
What's with the infatuation with nutty villains?
-
Actually, we should probably continue this in a new thread. (http://www.sognadigitalmuseum.com/forum/index.php?topic=1459.0)
If I triple post, will I be impeached, or made a hero?

A hero. Its pretty dead in here right now.

nooooooooooooooo you ruined a potential quadra-post!
-
Now we can't use Mime materia! D:
-
Oops my bad. We will have to wait for the next round to pull off that combo. In the mean time:
"W-SUMMON KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND!"
-
Try and click them both at the same time. It's like.... DOUBLE THE POWER!
-
Double the references to an overrated RPG that was incomplete and devoid of a main villain that was worth a crap.
Scarlet was more fucking heartless than Sephiroth.
-
Scarlet was more fucking heartless than Sephiroth.
And Kefka (if you wanna compare to other FF) and Albedo (video games in general) both beat Sephiroth in terms of insanity (heartless...hells yes former, hard to say the latter). Kefka's a maniacal clown (the most fearsome thing in the world) who has no quelms about turning the world into a heaping pile of trash (which he does) and use of chemical warfare (Doma Castle) and Albedo is an immortal pedophilic sadomasochist. And they have better reasons for going insane.

come now let's not start a hate on ff7 thread... we don't have enough room on the forum for that...
plus ff7 wasn't all that bad... it had Vincent... and Tifa's breasts.
-
FF7 was a major blast when it first came out,I remember almost crying when I got the game.(was a big fan) I say WAS cuz now I dunno,new FF games aren't the same.Sephiroth made an impact more cuz,he's cool looking,he got a big katana voila.
Not sure poeple like him cuz of the way he think or see things. Xenosaga bleh Xenogears is way better in my opinion.

I was especially sad when Tifa's breasts didn't make it into FF8(Rinoa), but relieved that they reappeared in FF10(Lulu).
-
Well I was only speaking from other minor villains in FF7, Albedo was great but even moreso what about Dmitri Yureiv? Hm? He was all sorts of badass.
But yeah, Albedo was totally psychotic and I loved it. Kefka is my favourite FF villain.
And heres why.
