probably like pressure/expectations, he could never make a conclusion because the first part set this ridiculously high bar or something and there would be no way to satisfy/appease the fans

i am your ruler. your salt shaker is mine. i the grains will be consumed.

ABL makes me angry. Here you've got a guy who's made an interesting game so far and could presumably finish it without *too* much trouble (since all graphics and songs were ripped/stolen and he was using rm2k) but then like 7 years pass and NOTHING. Even though the guy is still around. How does that happen? I could get it if you're working together with a team and with actual sprite artists and such, but I never got this.

Heard he took up law or something, so yea it's understandable if he didn't have time or interest anymore. But damn, he was a really good storyteller I don't even seeany newer rm games who could match up

I've started playing ABL twice and have never finished it, mostly because it is ultimately still an rm2k game with bizarro graphics and pretty lousy gameplay mechanics (good god the rm2k dbs), but what is so great about it?  I don't mean that as like a contrarian "unlike everyody else I think it's terrible" way because I am actually curious and the little that I've played of it seemed like, you know, whatever.  But The Way also starts out pretty much whatever and gets pretty interesting despite itself so I guess what I'm asking is IS IT BETTER THAN THE WAY??

Well I don't know, somehow it strikes me as odd that he wouldn't have some sort of an idea about how to conclude the story. At least he should know where to go from the last part he released, because he put a lot of unresolved little story elements out there which I doubt he'd have done without first thinking about it.

probably JJ Abrams too but I don't pay enough attention

the way was pretty damn good and probably tops ABL if only because it actually concludes.
