PRO’S AND CON’S OF FEATURED GAMES PART 1

By: JJJ-The Banisher

 

 

Well we all know that dear great March(bot) is in charge of featured games.  Before I go off and badmouth his choices (sarcasm) let me just say he’s doing a fine job.  I’m taking a look at the black, black, black lining on his silver cloud.  I will write a brief paragraph about each featured game, this will depicts its pro’s/Con’s and based on the rest of the category judge whether it should or shouldn’t be a featured game.  If it happens to be the latter then I will make a suggestion. I hope You (March(Bot) Consider this and at least make a few changes.  I know some games (AILL) have sentimental value, but unfeaturing them won’t get rid of the game, it just won’t be in our (my) face(s) so much.

 

 

A day in Hell

Pro’s: Has its funny spots, not all that Linear and it’s not too short.
Con’s: Some bad Endings, a bad kind of Random (Not like Mazeman), Shallow plot.
Feature able: No, It’s a really close call but Postie Rips it up, is a better choice.

Vengeance

 

Pro’s: Not too Linear, Fairly Long, Great Adventure, Good Grammar/Spelling, Deep Plot, Good Story.
Con’s: A little to Random at parts.
Feature able: Yes, probably the best MA, it’s a great game to play.

Locked Out 2

Pro’s: Great Acting, Quite Difficult, Fairly Long, Has its funny spots and its Alexp!

Feature Able: Yes, this instalment is packed with nutritious videoclips.

September The Fourteenth Final Chapter

Pro’s: Uhh, Humour (Good and bad)?  Killing Creepy Cartoons, end of a series, Fairly Long, music.
Con’s: Repetitive, The Humour, Linear, Easy to Cheat,
Feature Able: No, Its Really close but because its SUCH a repetition its gotta be Welcome to Pablo’s, for its Stellar game play.

Cryptode

Pro’s: Very Long, Deep Plot, Fast Paced, Great Advanced Features, Quite Difficult.
Con’s: Bad Battles, Ending Bug, Not all items had pictures.

Feature Able: No, Its way, WAY worst then (Chuckle) The Day.

 

Finals Week
Pro’s: Humour, Fairly Long, great gameplay, Quite Difficult, Good Advanced Feature use.
Con’s: Could use some more End links, Unfinished.
Feature Able: Yes, and that’s Final(s).

 

Fairview High school Game 1
Pro’s: Hilarious, Fairly Long, Good Gameplay, Fairly good Grammar, Great Villains.

Con’s: Boring at some parts, Could do with some extra choices, a little too random.

Fairview High school Game 2
Pro’s: Funny, Fairly Long, Ok Gameplay, Fairly Good Grammar, Good villains.
Con’s: Boring at lots of parts, Could do with some extra choices, a little too random, too repetitive.

A day in Hell should be sent off.  We need the BEST EASY game as the top left game.  I noticed the amount of plays and finishes!  There are hundreds.  To get in more people (hey isn't that a goal right now) we need a game that is fun and easy.  It dosen't nessicary have to be the best.  Many people play it.  That is a point I want to say.

Cryptode first?  No, it is to complex.  Walmart is also to complex.  You want to be able to have them win with a few losses.  Something with score and only score is all that is really needed.  Why dosen't somebody (JJJ in particular) make a game that understands that vauge description?

Another thing I noticed with that is that people usually think the higher it is on the list the better it is.  Mabey a few of the lists could be rearranged and that solves that.

1. If you want easy then browse for difficulty and then player rating.
2. Cryptode won, doorknob.
3. uhhh, ya yer right.

1.  I was just talking about suggestions.

2.  I am talking about the top of the list.  Even though it collides with point 3 the top one in that section should just be an easy and jun game.

3.  No coment.

The Walmart Game should not be up there because of the 180 people who played it only 31 people finished.  That is 1/6 or 16% winners or possible losers.   Most games I see have a 25 to 45% winning chance when it comes to plays and finishes.

thanks nate! i have already talked to alex, like a week ago adn he said it will go on the front page, i just need to think of the small one liner slogan that goes under neath the title. Like mttias has "be born, grow up, kick butt".

I cannot think of anything (havent tried much lol)

can anyone help me think of a slogan?

how about:

One Code (or Riddle)... One Man.... One Chance.

its short sweet and useful. lol its not the most original though. when coming up with the slogan, think of the thesis of the story. what is its soul? meat and potatoes as we say in the south lol. what are you wanting to accomplish.

hmmmm... don't remember featuring Liar

A day in hell is one of my faves for some odd reason, but your point is well taken.  Postie will NOT replace it because i think that game sucks.

Hey March,  I just noticed you changed your Avatar again and it is dancing.  There is music in here so that makes it really funny for a first look.

I like how the first option changes the whole game. it's a neat concept showing how one simple decision could lead to a whole different life. It's a good game, your second one could be a real winner though should you decide to make one.
