Cynon Reviews: Hero: Chronicles of Rose (RM2k3) Part 2

[twright778]

I love your hilarious grunts. You should seriously make more Rm2k3 reviews. I don't think you know how much those grunts set you apart and could've made you a famous reviewer.

[Shikomaru136]

It looks really well done to me. And that story you suggested was more cliche than the cliches that you found.

[CollegeCorn]

make more reviews!!

[VXRPGMaker]

I think the reason why they don't make cleric boys is because they'd get made fun of. XD

[Lundex]

AHHHH, C-o-s NOOOO. NOT THE C-o-s...

[rpglikerx]

In one of my new games the main chacter (A boy) is a mage and a wise old man is a cleric is that alright?

[Astaroth6000]

Don't leave it up to him to tell you what to do.

[rpglikerx]

Dont worry Im not.

[Demyx111]

Laughing all through that! "UGGGHHHH"

[helldrag0n47]

Where u get different tile sets

[DominicBuchholz]

The whole, turning around and growling by Void makes me laugh. XD

[Lotsablueberri]

I think that he wrote C-O-S because he would run out of room in the message box. He probably also wanted to avoid using the word "ceremony" too many times in succession.

I agree with you on the atmoshpere comments, however.

Great review!

[XxToKyOmEwxX]

There are other ways to describe it though, such as 'celebration' or 'event', too.

[kuneko0630]

He abbreviates. HE ABBREVIATES. THE CEREMONY. OF SWORDS.

*eyeroll*

[XxToKyOmEwxX]

That's just sloppy in a book or a game, you don't abbreviate that kind of stuff in a game like this.

[kuneko0630]

No, I agree, haha, but the way this guy nearly had a heart-attack and had to stop and zoom in was just way too amusing.

[XxToKyOmEwxX]

lol it was funny!

but a commerical game would never do that, nor a book, nor...a movie, anything with writing. its sloppy. :3

and I agree, he went a little crazy over it though xD

[Blacksoljah]

y did u stop making reviews?

[Cynon44]

It's more of a leisure thing for me, my big Youtube focus is on Nascar videos that tell stories.

[jesse66126]

would be willing to review my game?its on rpg maker xp,its kind of short.

[qplqp]

Shouldn't the guards be a little suspicious about a totally random stranger walking into the mayor's room?

[Cynon44]

I figured it was in their culture for people to walk in on other people at random like that, so I didn't say anything about it.

[Orteil42]

C-o-s ? C-O-S ???

...

More like Co$, uh ?...

[ranmaster27]

Cosign Lol

[drakiyth]

The blinking of the characters when they win makes me want to punch something.. It's just very, very, very lame. Also, work on your damn battle system and the balance of things before focusing so much on your characters eyes blinking ffs. Also, be more original with your main villains name.. "Void" is pretty damn lame too. This games graphics were pretty good to be honest but there was a lot in it that was totally unnecessary.

The victory music was terrible. 3 out of 5

[Cynon44]

The victory music was a terrible rendition of the one from Valkyrie Profile, I forgot to mention that. I plan to (eventually) review a very, VERY basic game (divided between Darkenergy 1 and Jarzug's Big Adventure) that I enjoyed immensely.

[einwolf]

More of a rant then a review, but it's still pretty funny. I gave up on reviewing these things when I wrote this long composed review of that Shattered Samurai game or what ever it was... the one where the main guy was Kenshin Himura, but renamed like... Steve or something... Really bad game, but it was popular and I got yelled at for my review.

[heroblitz420]

hi there,

great review just got RM2K3 yesterday and i googled it for tuts and this came up good thing to its very helpful

thx ^_^

[FullMetalKenna]

Awesome review Cynon, I got rm2k3 last week, so its helping me to learn what not to do.

[XxToKyOmEwxX]

thats why I love watching bad game reviews xD

[Lonewulf321]

This game isn't even that bad compared to other RPG MAKER games. XD

[XxToKyOmEwxX]

Yeah. XD This wasn't badly programmed, but what I meant by 'bad game reviews' was moreso reviews explaining what you should not do in a game you create. ;3

It was well programmed, just..badly thought out. And in some ways, presented.

[Lonewulf321]

Yea, I know what you meant. =3 I was just trying to say that if this game was bad, think of the others! *shoots self now*

[XxToKyOmEwxX]

Rofl! Well, it's true! Try a lot of XP games. Gawd.

[Lonewulf321]

I won't even waste my computer's space XD! I probably wouldn't do better than Chronicles of Rose, but I'm sure I could do better than most XP Games...

[XxToKyOmEwxX]

I might do as good was this one if I tried really hard. (Which I do!)

If you want a taste of some of these XP or VX games, look up some of Megadeth45's reviews. They are absolutely hilarious.

[Lonewulf321]

+1 for you.

I've seen some of those.... lmao

[XxToKyOmEwxX]

Eheh, thanks. :P

I'm still a beginner though, and working on my 1st game. But I have experience with drawing and plot devices/characterization, so I have hope for my project. :P

Sometimes I'm just shocked at what people release on the internet seriously. At least they can take criticism, I'll give them that.

[Astaroth6000]

well...Some of them can take criticism. I mean I told one guy that his game needed major improvement and he starts freaking out about how hard it was to make it and other junk like that :P

[XxToKyOmEwxX]

Oh man, I get that a lot. xD

It's like telling someone the picture they drew was nice, but it could use some work here or there. They EXPLODE at me for it! D:

It's not like we don't know how much time and effort goes into making them, but that doesn't mean it's perfect! o.o

[Finnishiam]

Is it just me, or are all the facesets completely black?

[DominicBuchholz]

Is it just me, or is Sethablabla something of a rip off of Rhue's sprite from The Way? Just look at the jump animation...

[Cynon44]

Yeah, that just occurred to me, but I wasn't a big fan of The Way either.

[DominicBuchholz]

PFFF.

FAIL

<3 The Way

[avenger1984]

What program did you use to capture the in-game-play?

[Shadar22]

I sent you some suggestions on how to review games a little better.

[metashell]

That review kinda sucked.

[Ynlraey]

Oh God =_=

Thanks for the review I was looking for feedback and I am REALLY surprised that this has insanely high feedback when it looks clearly boring.

Love your review :)

[rosethewriter3]

OMG! This game reminds me of the old PC game (from like '95 or something) made by Sierra.."Torin's Passage". Except, Torin went through worlds, but the plot is almost the same and the graphics were way better than this game.

[muteki005]

At first I thought you were just some annoying reviewer, but by time I got half way through part 1, I was enjoying it.  If you promise me more reviews like this I will subscribe. =)

[Cynon44]

I have a few other old-school RPG Maker 2000 games that I plan to go back to and review, but I won't do them that often, seeing as I primarily run a fantasy Nascar series. I'll probably hit some of the big-name-games (and probably flame the hell out of The Book of Three if that game sucked as much as I remember it sucking) and some games that maybe 5 people know about (like my ceaseless adoration for Darkenergy 1 and Kraire Storm).

[ravelizard]

I was told that you allow people to include their own fantasy driver into your series. Is this true?

[Cynon44]

Yes.

[ravelizard]

I'm interested, where's the sign up?

[Jutras90]

Meh

[Jrodsly]

HAHA!! you got REALLY angry. guess we shouldnt play this game.

[Cynon44]

To be fair, when I reviewed it, I didn't get to the dueling or the extra that showed pre-release stuff. The dueling was stuff I'd seen in older games (Legion Saga II, anyone??) only it was ridiculously easy. The dueling would have been another five minutes of me bitching just because of the lack of difficulty.

[Jrodsly]

still, it was funny when you yelled over the text abbreviation.

[rosethewriter3]

I do remember how slow this game was. My friend would be playing it until I came over, her brother would take over, and by the time I'd leave her home (which was like 5 or 6 hours later), he would still be playing it and she would take over!!

[ryanbargamian]

NIce video. Hey why don't you show the game you made the worst rpg ever. That is a funny game.
