Hahaha, your ignorance and idiocy is amazing. Its amusing. Your putting words in my mouth. READ its good for you, i said the tiniest as in a if there is no tiny microscopic piece of story the game would be meaningless. FF1 has a small story does it not? Do you understand the word Tiny at all or are you to idiotic use a dictionary. Tetris gives you the tiniest piece of story, get points and you win. That can count as the tiniest most smallest piece of story. Mario gives you the smallest piece of story, in fact fairy tales are stories arent they? Mario and Zelda have generic fairy tail stories, save the princess and defeat the evil power that stands in your way. You say you studied a piece of shakespeare but your idiocy is amusing me a lot.

Well I guess I'm wro...hang on a sec...

Tetris gives you the tiniest piece of story, get points and you win. That can count as the tiniest most smallest piece of story.

 

"Get points and you win" is a STORY? Did I just read/quote that, or am I putting words in your mouth? That's [tornado fang]ing priceless, and might be the quote of the year. That's not a story. That's an objective, an aim, or a goal. There's a HUUUUGE difference. But ignoring that for a moment, I for one LOVE how you absolutely ignored this part of what you quoted...

For the record, I never said the X series needed no story whatsoever. I simply said that it did not need a "better and heavy plot" which was the topic of this whole post to begin with.

Hilarious. Moving on...

Yes i guess it does have a story with quests like: Go there and talk to him. Kill X amount of monsters,Get this item. Its a generic storyline that is executed poorly. Its the same as Zelda and super mario brothers just in 3D.

Funny, I kinda recall talking with NPC characters about certain character's history and such in The Old Republic. In fact, it was quite similar to the Knights of the Old Republic non-MMO games I played in the past. But I guess that cannot compare to the Machiavellian genius that is the X series.

Story is not a sidenote. If i gave you a game that has no information , no dialgoues and no elements of story, what so ever not even the tiniest microscopic piece of story. Would you say story is a sidenote?

I would if it's Tetris or Dr. Mario. Or even Super Mario Bros, which does not tell you anything at all what you have to do in the actual game (and not the Instruction Booklet) outside of "But Our Princess Is In Another Castle." However, apparently objectives & goals are stories in your mind, so that kinda explains that...

I never said anything like that, i said i understand and at the same time being a single developer who had no programming knowledge what so ever, being a spriter, trying to learn composing music, studying for the tests, and i started a year ago with no programming knowledge what so ever do you expect me to make something in lets say 3 months? If you do then you are clearly ignorant and know nothing of how hard it is to develop a game that is near perfect. Games take more than one year to make especialy since i am developing the game my self. Of course lazy ignorant trash like you does not know anything about game developing. What games have YOU made? If you think you are a better developer than me then lets those games you have made. I never said to bow down or kneel before me at all. I just said i understand as novelist and game developer, how does that equate to me saying bow down and kneel before me  ,

That's not at all what you said actually. Here, allow me to retrieve your EXACT words...

I know this as novelist and Game developer. I find it pathetic how localization dumbs down games. That is probably why you are nothing but a mindless drone who is illiterate and cannot understand or bother reading the story.

Here, I "boldeded" the important part. There's a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE difference between saying "I understand" and "I know" something, as well as claiming to be a novelist & game developer when you have not written any novels or developed any games. The proper response would have been "I am learning the skills necessary to develop games in the future." Notice the difference? One is less smug and self-entitled than the other.

Hahahaha, as for the other part of that quote, I never once proclaimed to be either a novelist nor a game developer. I have no idea what it's like to develop a game. I have no interest in game development and I admire those that do go out of their way to do something they love. But when some smarmy little twat asks a question in a public forum then turns around and insults someone who doesn't quite agree with said twat, I tend to insult back. That is why I asked whether I should bow or kneel before the fact that, and these are YOUR OWN WORDS here "I know this as novelist and Game developer."

Haha. i asked this question hoping i would not get generalizing idiots like you who think that only RPGs are capable of a heavy story. No not really i never said everyone will agree, your generalization about RPGs only having a story is what angered me. Most people here except you have not agreed with me which is what i expected, at least they don't act like generalizing idiots you.

LoL. Now who's putting words in people's mouths?

If you had a deep involved plot, it would probably take up a lot of the game's time and side scrollers are best when they are fast paced. This is not an RPG.

Is THAT what you called generalization? I just used an RPG as an example where heavy plot tends to work best. Somehow, that equated to me generalizing that RPGs are capable of a heavy story. One of my favorite series of all time, the Zone of the Enders series (made by the same guy mind you), is pretty plot heavy. And I enjoy it. I enjoy it a lot. ZOE2 is my 4th favorite game of all time. It's not an RPG though. All I said was that I don't think side scrollers would benefit from having a better and heavy plot.

I never said that in Rpgs were you create your own classes and go on a adventure is bad. You are simply putting words in my mouth, my favourite RPG is Final Fantasy IV because for its time and even now it has a really good story. I love FF III because of the difficulty and Jobs while learning the lore of the world.

LOL. I never said that you said that they were better. I was just providing an example of when I think story works best. Sheeeeeeesh.

And awwwww, this topic is locked now. Ah well!

« on: September 12, 2013, 10:23:37 PM »

Oh this is beautiful. I'm gonna have fun breaking this one down...

Ahem...

Disagreed. If there is no story, even a little tiny bit of story or any info the game is meaningless. All you will do is play as a mindless drone which completes task,I find utterly pathetic and disgusting, it makes me sick how pathetic some people are.

Puzzle games have no story whatsoever, unless I missed the part were Tetris is some deep seeded intergalatic war between Tetriminoes. Or the heavy drama about how Mario, once plumber now turned doctor, must save a sick dying child from ever present virus hell bent on the death of innocence. For the record, I never said the X series needed no story whatsoever. I simply said that it did not need a "better and heavy plot" which was the topic of this whole post to begin with. But let's move on, shall we...

That is why i despise MMOs. Rockman X would not be as good if it had not story what so ever.

You know, I really don't like MMO's either. To indulge this further though, I did play Star Wars: The Old Republic and will get back to playing one day. Not only does it have a story, it have multiple stories for whatever class you pick. Something like 12 separate stories all in one game depending what class you want to be. Soooo yeah, that point is moot.

I highly doubt that you even know Shakespeare`s works or understand them at all. Even if a games gameplay is bad the story can save gameplay if it amazingly done

Well besides the courses I took in High School & College, by choice mind you because I love Shakespeare's work (The Tempest being my favorite). But yeah, what do I know. As for a story saving game play if it is amazingly done... what if the game play is so bad that you cannot actually finish the story?

Story is not a side note and should not be missed. Story and gameplay are both elements that need to be included no matter what, both have to be good to make a fully fledged game.

And again, I never said that story is not needed. It is just a side note. Does the original Legend of Zelda game have that "deep" or "heavy" of a plot, or is it just about Link collecting the Triforce pieces, defeating Ganon, and saving Princess Zelda? Is Super Mario Bros. this long struggle about a plumbers hatred of turtles? Or is it about Mario rescuing Princess Toadstool? Those games have the most bare-bones plot possible, and they are fully fledged games.

I know this as novelist and Game developer. I find it pathetic how localization dumbs down games. That is probably why you are nothing but a mindless drone who is illiterate and cannot understand or bother reading the story.

Oh boy, a novelist AND Game Developer. Should I bow or simple kneel before your oh so omnipotent knowledge of literature and gaming? But for the sake of argument, please enlighten me as to what games you have developed and what novels you have written? Please. I'd love to give them a whirl.

I really dont care what you think of story since you barely know anything about it. In the end people like you are sheep that cannot make their own decisions and are too lazy too understand or try to understand a sophisticated peace of literature.

Then why'd you ask the question in the first place? If you don't care about the answer to the question "Would Rockman X Benefit from having a better and heavy plot?" then why ask the question to begin with? To pump yourself up knowing that there are people like you out there who think EXACTLY like you do or that there are people like me out there who do not think X games are "sophisticated peaces pieces of literature" that you can mock and call sheep.

For retrospect, do you know what my favorite RPG of all time is? It's a C64 game called AD&D Pool Of Radiance. In this game, you create six characters, name them, give them their class, stats, etc., then you go off on the adventure presented to you in the game. Wanna know why I love it so much? Because I can create my own backstory for my characters. That why D&D and role playing is awesome in the first place, because you're creating the story yourself. They are your characters, your creations. That is true imagination right there.

For all I know he could be right. However, in the original US X2 game, there was no mention of Serges/Wily.

X / Re: Would Rockman X Benefit from having a better and heavy plot?

« on: September 12, 2013, 09:40:26 PM »

Yes it did. The unification project which its sole purpose was to revive Zero and use him for their needs. Remember the phrase:`Being defeated by the robotic memento of Right...such regret..` which he said? Don`t you think that the only person to know Dr.Right is Dr.Wily and Wily is supposed to be dead. So yes what i explained actually happens in the game. Read the wiki if you don`t believe me or play the game using your eyes. Without Serges this whole operation would be useless since he knows Zeros body well yet there are other reploid scientists who may be on par with him.

Which game, RockMan X2 or MegaMan X2? You see, this is the problem when things are poorly translated when brought over here. If you go by what the original game that we got in the US tells us, there is no connection between Serges & Wily. It's not mentioned in the game at all really. In fact, it's so bad that many people thought that X was Rock. So the game I got to play was terrible at telling that story because...well it didn't tell that story. And it doesn't matter.

Allow me to present the point to you that poorly translated or not, X2 is a fantastic game with or without the "proper" story. The story adds very little to the game itself. Until I read about it when I first joined this site, I had no idea how badly translated the US version of the game was. And you know what? Knowing about it doesn't change or lessen my enjoyment for it in any way. The story is a side note to how good the gameplay is, the different weapons and armor, the design of the Mavericks, the challenge (or lack thereof) of beating each X-Hunter etc. X7 could be [tornado fang]ing Shakespeare and I wouldn't play it because the gameplay is atrociously awful. Personally, I think the X series is terrible when it comes to storytelling. I still love playing the games though and I always will. But the enjoyment comes from actually playing the game, seeing if I can dodge everything or how fast I can get through it or if I can get through it without armor, and so on.

*sigh*Re-read the FOR ITS TIME in my post. Amusing how ignorant you are.

You didn't answer my question. I'll ask again.

Is anything of what you just talked about...

how Serges knows so much about Zero ? Being able to revive him and control him even though Zeros body is unable to be analyzed by anyone else other than Wily?

...mentioned at all during the game itself?
