there's a difference between "oh your game was a nice parody of metal gear solid, it played just like the real thing!" and another competitor coming out and publically stating "OOOOOOH LOOK AT HOW SIMILAR THIS GAME IS TO THIS OTHER GAME THAT WAS CREATED (THAT IT IS OBVIOUSLY PARODYING) I HOPE IT DOESN'T GET ANY POINTS DOCKED OFF FOR ORIGINALITY! *WINK* *WINK*"
edit: oh yeah, and why did you call me an asshole? was it for saying that i don't care what you guys think about my game because that's not a very asshole thing for me to do. or was it for pointing out that your game's concept was already done? because if it was the latter, maybe you understand why i am defending my game instead of letting it go.
hayo: i didn't bash on any other entries. i left behind the same helpful and intelligent sort of comments people have been leaving me about my game! oh wait unless this is some bizarre world where it's only right when i get criticism and it's UNACCEPTABLE AND BASHY when i leave behind critisicm on other games!
here's the extend of my bashing:
"the graphics are nice, but the gameplay is painfully generic, don't you think? it would have been nice if the game were a bit more christmasy instead of being a generic platformer with christmas tacked on."
"hahaha, this game is cool, the presentation is nice, and the game play is pretty cool too. "
"the thing about this game, and a lot of the other games on the competition are that they could very well have been different games if you had switched out santa claus/presents with another characters/obstacles. there's nothing that makes this game inherently christmasy besides the graphics."
oh man look at how rude i'm being! oh wait actually i'm actually giving reasons as to why or how the games could have been improved!
now let's take a look at your comments:
"Pod, why are you going through the other game entries and harshly judging them and unfairly at that?
Your game was really boring lol. I gave up pretty quick. People have been hyping you up mega style to me and I have to say Im not really impressed at their idea of "Awesome""
oh thanks!
"Nice stuff, doesn't really get me in the xmas mood, but I dug up metal gear solid for the gbc anyway."
oh sweet, i love getting comments that don't give any reasons but are just there to make me feel bad!
"Lol, Podunkian, you get really upset if someone don't treat you like a god because you put a santa hat on solid snake. =P"
"I agree with Hernan, seeing you run around here crying like a little girl"
"What the hell is the matter with you? Got a candy cane stuck up your ass from an angry MGS fan?"
"the thing about this game, and a lot of the other games on the competition are that they could very well have been different games if you had switched out santa claus/presents with another characters/obstacles. there's nothing that makes this game inherently christmasy besides the graphics."
Was the only thing that really bugged me and makes you look like a silly person who just wants to spoil the fun for other people. It's like "oh my god, all the other games are bad so I must win the compo!". Just chill down and wait for the results.
Not really. You spent too much on rib-removal to rein act your own birth. To tell the truth, I’m just pissed at how many people have hyped your work up to such an extent.
IRL EXAMPLE
19/12/2006 19:52:58 i'm worried about pod's entry
19/12/2006 19:53:24 y?
19/12/2006 19:53:39 pod is good
19/12/2006 19:53:44 amazingly good
19/12/2006 19:53:53 consistantly
people give comments on games because... they have something to say? it's not always about trying to win the competition.
after all i did give sleepy santa a very favorable comment. and maybe if you'd actually considered what i'd meant in my comment you wouldn't be upset about it.
edit: hey adam i'm sorry that other people like my games, i'll try harder to make them worse from now on so that people don't like them as much. i don't see how it reflect on me that other people like my games? did i go around forcing people to give me compliments? nope. did i force the game upon thousands and billions of people? nope. i posted my game as a link on a couple forums that i'm involved with as a nice christmas present to the people of the community. i'm sorry that they enjoyed it(?)
No Im linking it to how you went to other entries and judged them rather unfairly in some cases. Like Hayo said it was like a desperate attempt to better yourself.
hey adam why don't you read the comment before where i actually went through and copied and pasted all of judgements of the games that i played. i don't really recall any of them being unfair.
i was in the process of adding this to my comment as an edit, but it locked on me:
"actually fuck it i'm not going to bother with you anymore. i've already said what i've had to say, if you want to drag it on and continue trying to portray me as some big bad basher then go for it. i've been in the community long enough to know that with every good game developer there is always a bunch of kids trying to bring them down because they think that other people like their works too much."
continue being bitter little children, because i'm not going to deal with it until the competition results are in.
Sometimes I wish I were an admin to kapwn this argument.
HINT HINT MR ADMIN PERSONS
Seriously though. Pod may be a little over-enthusiastic about his competition entry, but that doesnt mean you should all have a go at him the way you are. You could still have a go at him, just don't be so rude about it. Because then you make Podunkian swears, and thats not good.
Each person is entitled to their own opinion. You don't have to agree with it. That's life. Deal with it, or you won't get very far in it.
And no, before you start, I'm not on Podunkians side. I don't know him, nor have I ever spoken to him. I just find your quarraling childish and unnecessary. It ruins the community.
Maybe because some people are being mean and not in the Christmas spirit they could be disqualified (even though their games are amazing) and then I could win!.....*sees no hope for my game*.
How often are the contests? I want to be able to be ready for the next one so mine doesn't look even worse than it is compared to others.
