Title: I miss the old days
Post by: The One on October 20, 2009, 11:30:10 pm
Hello and welcome to my rant.

I miss the old days. The days where I would browse three forums at a time, all of them having something to do with RPG Maker. And I don't mean RPG MAKER XP OR RPG MAKER VX, I mean good old Rm2k.

Alright you're probably gonna say 'lol rm2k is stupid and for kids' which probably it is, but it was so goddamn fun sharing our crappy rm2k games together. What is left of the RPG Maker community? All we got now is rmxp.org and rpgmaker.net where people just post their bullshit rpg maker xp games all using the same RTP. Seriously, Rm2k has been left to rot in the mud and now we have all these RMXP games. In some ways I hate Enterbrain for making RMXP. You thought your stupid little RMXP game with custom scriptz was good? Go play Final Fallacy or cRaZy_gUy's Journey (or hell even Barkley even if it's not Rm2k), bitch. Now those were good games for their time. Well maybe not good as in "wow this game has amazing features and is so innovative" but at least the humor was damn good. All you see these days is RMXP games pretending to be way more emo then they are, or RMXP games trying to be hilarious but not being able to bring over the message because of the stupid genericness of how it looks.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I miss the days where people were in excitement waiting for this game Super RTP Adventure or The Stupidest Game Ever or other games, and people actually liking them.

Oh well even though the Rm2k world has pretty much gone down the drain I guess it's not the end of the world.

Yet.

Ok that was my rant bye

So you miss the days when we were all 11 and thought dumb things were HIGH QUALITY?

Pretty much hit the nail on the head here.
Edit:
I should probably evaluate. Most of the shit here in the G&D section we've got no hope for. Not uh, my class anyways. I'm not sure exactly who else is in that class, but RM2K was pretty fun when we were young, but it's not the case anymore, and we don't have those magical goggles that makes everything seem awesome. I remember when I used to think the second Mortal Kombat movie was pretty FUCKING AWESOME.  I uh, watched it this year and I couldn't manage the first quarter of it. And the whole time I was thinking, "What the fuck?" Yeah I was really really disappointed, that's happened a lot to me recently.

Before I start to ramble off topic though, all I gotta say is: You can't just expect people to make 'brilliance' or something. Kids out there want to make their little fantasy adventures and show everyone just how 'cool' it is so they can get a gold star. Don't take it so personally. And before you start getting all pissy, at least look in the mirror or at the past, I'm sure you'll find something that will make you say, "Fuck, I really regret that."

I don't get why games made with an outdated program are preferable to those made with an engine that's superior in every aspect.

Post by: The One on October 21, 2009, 12:13:23 am
You know I don't really get it either. But those times were more fun then the current times. I guess one of the things could be that Rm2k was just that, a thing everyone toyed around with for fun. Everyone who started with it knew it was something to mess around with for fun, and not to create some super professional game.

Which is the focus of most RMXP games of today, to be as professional and realistic as possible. I guess the difference is in the old days we did it for the fun and for the hell of it, and nowadays people do it to make a good game that impresses people.

And the atmosphere. Yeah definitely the atmosphere. Was so good back in the day.

The One, my friend (she's 20) recently got an email from a Craigslist personal ad from a 50 year old man saying that she should not dismiss his reply as he's still 18 at heart, and will always be -- like Peter Pan. I'm sure he has a thing or two to share about the good ol' times of RPGmaker.

I can send him your e-mail if you'd like, just post it here. Or you can PM it to me, your privacy is secure with me. Don't worry, pal.

it's because you were a child.  we were all kiddos, this is why it was so great because we were children!  remember being 9 years old?  those times rocked!  but it had nothing to do with rm2k or w/e, it had to do with you being a child

okay you guys are joking about it but you know you loved those days when you were in elementary school and everything was easy and you spent your breaks on the playfield trading pokemon cards.

when i was a kid i used to hate elementary school but it was actually pretty awesome. just play play play and have fun without worrying about anything else. instead of that we turn 18 and gotta get a crappy job working for stupid people who bitch at you all day to make a living.

see this is why there is no god cause if there was he would have made the world so that we would only have to play games all day and have fun

okay this is also because i'm feeling a bit high atm but there is reason to this. but its more of a 9/11 topic now so after everyone had their say i guess it can be locked or deleted.

moral of the topic: childhood is great

I don't get why games made with an outdated program are preferable to those made with an engine that's superior in every aspect.

The program is only as good as the people who are making games.  The people that use them haven't changed a bit.  Nomothetically speaking that is.

There were things in rm2k3 that no one ever learned or moved onto xp without learning, essentially going back to step one.  It's like when you first picked up rm2k and made a crappy game, only now the graphics are harder/more complicated to make.  I never understood why people were going to make the switch (many haven't).  And really, what can you make in xp that you can't in 2k3?



As for the whole golden age/nostalgia thing, I get it.  I think it's funny that the reason people give is that we've all somehow (as a community) have grown up.  If this is what you're telling me, then you're also saying there hasn't been a new cohort of game makers since 2000, am I getting this right?  Or maybe the new cohort blows/you dont get their humor anymore?

And hey guys, it's only been a few years since 2k3 came out so lets not get ahead of ourselves with the whole need to look mature act we got goin on.

yes we did but we don't try to argue that people are wrong now for not liking things we liked when we are kids

ugh people like a new software why don't they like the software i liked as a kiddo?????!??!?  they are heathens

That's like using a manual saw over a chainsaw to cut down a tree. Sure, the chainsaw is more complicated and you could do it with a manual saw, but the chainsaw is also far more powerful and can do the job better.

Haha good one bub, I laughed.  Maybe next time you can contribute something useful.  But I guess I should remove that sig since it's old.

@ bick, I get what you're saying, so if you aren't coordinated when trying to cut a tree down, you can risk serious bodily injury with the chainsaw but with the manual saw you'll be just fine.  Right?

Well, low-level amateur toolkit game development barely hold any significance anymore now that indie gaming is bigger than ever. For an indie game to be recognized it either has to be really good or have an interesting gameplay mechanic. There's not much more you can do except become more dedicated to game development I guess.

Doug was a good show when i was a kid, and it still is. heh, try to come back from that.

the difference is that doug is a legitimately good show whereas rm2k is just some piece of software people mostly (not always just A LOT) use to make really terrible games, and we thought they were a lot better when we were 11 than we do now


there are some things that stay good as you age and there are some that don't

also what drule said, it's basically that the novelty of making a game isn't like it used to be, it used to be that not a lot of people were making their own games so they seemed to be a lot more interesting but nowadays way more people are into gamemaking and that means we're getting better products meaning the old shit isn't as impressive as it used to look

Yeah pretty much this. I don't know how long everyone in this topic has been around in this scene, but I remember the days where people releasing a game was quite a feat. And if the game had a custom battle system, everyone wet their pants because it almost never had been done before.

Also in general I miss the days where I used to play my Sega Genesis as a kid playing platformers and crappy 2D games. Sure we got PS3 and Xbox360 and Wii now and the graphics are a whole lot better bow wow whoopee. Are the times honestly better then back then?

But yeah as B said, I wouldn't want to go back either 'cause as a kid your life is pretty much dictated by the people around you and there's little freedom to make your own decisions.

I guess it just saddens me that some kids will never get to play Super Mario Bros.

Post by: Vellfire on October 21, 2009, 11:57:48 am
nah man it's not me being closed minded (why would you think this) i get nostalgia just like everyone else the problem is that in the first post he's saying that everything people are excited about or using now is dumb in comparison to THE GOOD OLD DAYS and the thing is it's not!  he's saying rmxp is awful because BACK IN MY DAY and it's the exact same shit, it's just that he doesn't have the nostalgia for it like he does rm2k and so it's not as good, when really it's just the same.

and in his latest post he's doing the same thing with video games, and one day kids are going to be doing the same thing for ps3 and xbox games, talking about how the new games are not any good because we used to have these great ps3 games and now all these games are trash.  this is the exact thing people do with books or movies or really anything.  the truth is it's because you have the rose tinted glasses of nostalgia making those old things seem better when really if you didn't have that nostalgia you would think they were dumb.  this is a perfectly valid thing, don't get me wrong, but when you try to use that to insist that something then was better than something today, you're being incredibly short sighted!

i mean can we really say that NES games were so much better than games now?  don't you remember how many NES games were completely unplayable?  it's because we just have good memories of the good games.  in many years we'll only have good memories of the good 360 games, and it'll be the exact same thing.  you can't use that as part of an argument though.

edit: somehow i'm the closed minded one when the OP is "HEH YOU AND YOUR LITTLE RMXP GAME......IF IT WASN'T MADE IN RM2K I WANT NO PART IN IT"
Title: I miss the old days
Post by: The One on October 21, 2009, 01:47:17 pm
Yeah I guess it's just the nostalgia. I guess things weren't really better back then but because it was all new back then it was more fun. I'm not saying RMXP is not as good as Rm2k I'm just saying I enjoyed my time with Rm2k better then with RMXP.

I don't know I guess we can keep going on and on about this but the times aren't coming back

i thought x-men and spiderman were alright. i still have all the seasons of the spiderman animation on a flash drive somewhere.

that's another thing. back in the days fox kids actually had some good things like spiderman and x-men and the fantastic four and teenage mutant ninja turtles. nowadays the fox kids offspring called jetix feeds children cartoon crap like shuriken school and totally spies and carl 2 and sonic x and lame new seasons of pokemon.

well i guess in usa there are still some cool shows like spiderman superman batman and the x-men but in the netherlands jetix is a channel of ruthless rubbishness

this is now officially a general rant topic about the times that are changing

No if it's a c# or java or flash (recent flash not 2001's flash) game there is no way to tell it's a c# or java or flash game however you can always tell the difference between a rmxp and a rm2k game at any time

Thats stupid. Forums are for open discussion not for you to post your opinion and then expect people to either agree or not post theirs.

My point was most RMXP games seem soulless. Most 2k/2k3 games have character, even if they use rtp.

I rightfully agree with The One about missing the good old Rm2k/Rm2k3 days, back when GW used to have a mainsite with much, much richer content than it does now. All we see is a blog that hardly anyone gives a fuck about.

I was like, 13 or 14 years old when I first discovered GamingW, and that was back in early '04. The moment I got there, did I fucking get excited. There were so many awesome tutorials posted up on this site, that I read and learned how to to fix some mistakes/glitches or get ideas for my older projects that sadly got deleted and no longer retraceable anywhere else on the internet, as far as I'm concerned.

RMXP never really impressed me, but I guess that's because I hardly ever used it, but that's because scripting pretty much killed the simplicity of RPG Maker, in my opinion. I still use RPG Maker 2003 and under to these days, regardless of how lacking in interest the communities have become.

Anyone who agrees, feel free to talk to me if you want to have a good RPG Maker nostalgia chat.

Because nostalgia rules, I also miss the good old anime shows that played back then, such as Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z, Tenchi Muyo, Trigun, etc., even if I still do hate the art style.

And goddammit, I miss those days when Homestead.com used to be free back in the 90's for anyone to sign up and make their own personal websites, and I still love looking at half-assed fansites with basic pictures and layouts, and errors in some portions of their pages.

I also bid thee an eternal farewell, GeoCities.. atleast we still have AngelFire and Tripod, but I dunno if they'll be there forever.

Yes. "people like that" who are nostalgic about the past. What's so bad about that? While it's natural to move on, however, it's also natural to sit down remember things that made you feel good and bad, back then in your life.

Don't worry about my words, only worry about yours.

No I mean "people like that" as someone who is a stereotypical dumbass posting stereotypical dumbass shit on the internet where I can read it and say; "damn, this guy is pretty dumb. this can't be real, no one can be around 20 and be this stupid. oh wait, yes, it is probably real. who would bother? man this guy is a dumb."

Well your posts are semi-shit too, so I don't give a fuck what others think. If my posts make me look like a "stereotypical dumbass" as you claim me to be, then I'll keep doing that just to kindly piss you off, because that's pretty much the same thing I feel whenever I read most of your posts.

so uh basically you think he is wrong and you are going to prove it by doing the exact thing he's saying, therefore making him right?

I never said anything about upsetting anyone, just going to walk the talk because judging others when they don't insult you first is ok.

I miss those good old days too but there's two points I'd like to make.

Firstly, Rm2k(3) was always behind its time by a long shot, but there's been even less progression through to RMXP and whatever they're trying to make now. So the games feel even older than before (thus even crapper) as technology has advanced. Therefore we're more inclined to think badly compared to our idealised memories of rm2k(3).

Secondly, the people using RMXP now are going through the same that everyone here who used rm2k or rm2k3 did. Probably they think what they are doing is cool and will have fond memories of it too when looking back in 6 years.

Thus while I agree, I reckon there is a large degree of bias pumping through our opinions, or the opinions of anyone who thinks those good olds days were better. :-P

I rightfully agree with The One about missing the good old Rm2k/Rm2k3 days, back when GW used to have a mainsite with much, much richer content than it does now. All we see is a blog that hardly anyone gives a fuck about.

Hey! The main site isn't perfect but it's a work in progress right now. People just need to get interested in it. And I don't know if I'd call a bunch of snes rips, char sets made with that char set maker site and completely interchangeable rpg games richer content.Believe me, I doubt GW will ever go back to that.

I wake up everyday hoping that I might have lost my memory so I can play Crono Trigger, FF6, Lufia II, Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3 and every fucking amazingly awesome game of the fucking best console ever that the Snes was. I would then open RM2k and attempt to equal them without being an artist.

I don't think it is just a matter of having grown up. They don't make games like those anymore. A great example is Dragon Quest V. I had never played it before and I just got it for my DS. I must say that I enjoy playing that game more than any game on the Wii, PS3 or 360 (this statement applies for most of my DS games really lol).

I think I missed the 3D train when everyone was boarding it, I would take 2D over 3D anyfkinday.

Interesting note - I've never played any of those games! Actually, I got maybe 1 hour into FF6 before I stopped playing out of boredom. Felt like a horrible Rm2k game to me.

Jesus, at least try Chrono Trigger or Lufia. I can understand some people can't get into Final Fantasy, but games like Chrono Trigger and Lufia are like the sacred fruit trees hidden in the vast forest of Final Fantasy.

One of the things in the video game department that probably hit me the most is the downfall of the mighty Nintendo. The ones who made the Gameboys so popular, the ones who created the masterpieces NES and SNES, and N64. And what have they become? Seriously, what is the Wii? Is it a gaming console? Or is it a fitness machine, or minigame console for old people? It saddens me to see how ridicilous Nintendo has become.

your idea of games is narrow. just because Nintendo is picking up a different audience doesn't mean they're not making games anymore.
Besides, No More Heroes is pretty good *shrug*

I've heard this kind of argument a lot from friends, alongside the idea that the Wii isn't for "hardcore games". To claim that the N64 is some kind of HOLY GRAIL yet the Wii sucks is a bit ridiculous. For every Mario Kart 64 there's a Mario Kart Wii and so on. Nintendo is still making great games, they just happen to have expanded their repertoire of FUN TIMES.

I've been playing videogames as my main form of entertainment now for the past 21 years, yet I've never been as excited as when I bought my Wii. The PS3 doesn't fill me with the same kind of feelings at the moment unfortunately as I'm not that into SOLDIERGAMES. I have an opportunity at the moment to expand my collection by buying a PS3 or Xbox360, yet I can't decide between them as they both seem pretty same old, same old to me. It's unfortunate, but neither fills me with the excitement of the Wii.

Yet, as I say, I'm obviously not a "hardcore gamer", despite the fact that I regularly spend all of my spare time playing video/pcgames, including some exceptionally lifetaking and geeky titles like Europa Universalis, the Total War series, SimINSERTSIMGAMEHERE games, RPGs...the list goes on!!!!

WHAT A RNAT!
