Let's play WyldFox2007's "Stars of Bowser" SMBX campaign! BETA (Part 1)

[Jaybeat2k6]

Holy fuck, guys can you move this to PMs please? I completely understand what you mean, DarkMatt717, as far as preference goes. I am genuinely enjoying his campaign, and no doubt there are better campaigns out there, but I agreed to play WF's one because it was A) a good way to get in to SMBX in general, and B) it means WF can test his level design ideas out on someone who would play them through without any prior knowledge of all the little extas SMBX has. WF, it's ok! Criticism is a good thing

[Jaybeat2k6]

@Jaybeat2k6 CONTD FROM "Criticism is a good thing" - If someone outside your social circle sees the game and points out something they don't like, you can improve your campaign through those ideas, so long as they don't make the levels any less "yours". Anyways, I'm tired as fuck and I'm going to bed. xD Please, guys, I don't want to see any more of this particular discussion on this videos comments area, xD If you want to swap critique, ideas, or insults, please do it through PMs. Cheers! ^^

[Jaybeat2k6]

Don't take offense, Wyldfox! I think he was just saying that "Nostalgic references don't immediately mean it's good", when in fact, even without the references to past games, istill a good campaign.

[wyldfox2007]

@Jaybeat2k6 i didnt, just explaining that they may not like it, doesn't mean it is worse than any other game.

@wyldfox2007

While you were able to take back your folly from the public, I still have a copy of your incredibly dumb response in my comments box. So the message still carries to its intended receiver.

I assume you took it down because you knew I would be tempted to pick it up myself, and then smash your face in with genuine criticism since you don't think impressions amount to anything and only playing it counts.

Next time, take feedback more seriously and improve yourself.

[wyldfox2007]

@Darkmatt717 Critizium i can take, trolling I cannot. Why is it so bad? why dont you like it? You didnt explain anything. If you looked at any graphics, which are just mods from the originals, as my previous post. Play the game, graphics makes up 1% of the fun. As long as you have fun with the game, it doesn't matter. Once you play it, then please by all means criticize it, but if you are referring to me not modding much, that is the intent, it isn't suppose to be like others.

@wyldfox2007

>worse than any other game.

Invasion 2.

There, proved you wrong.

If you can't tell the difference between Invasion 2 and your game. Then you aren't cut out to be any sort of competent level designer.

[wyldfox2007]

@Darkmatt717 Well, i wont take advice from someone who has never played it.  How can you tell? By looks? That doesn't work, sorry. You tolled failed. LMAO! Take my advice here, PLAY the game then decide. I played invasion 2 myself, not bad, i took some ideas there. Anyways, I suggest that you try to make a very good game for once. I been making games a lot longer then you have I bet. After all, I started in BASIC to program my first game, 20 years ago.

[wyldfox2007]

@Darkmatt717 BTW, last time i respond to you, you are obviously a troll. I recommend that you move on, and anyone else, do not respond to this person. After all, it is Jay who is having fun and we are all laughing at. lol

[Darkmatt717]

Hey. Buddy. Pro tip.

Press left shift to drop the item in your item box.

Also, nostalgia getting marks for nostalgia's sake isn't valid good points. You could easily play Invasion 2 after this and think it's a lot better.

[Jaybeat2k6]

@Darkmatt717 Hey man! Thanks for the tip, but I'm using a control pad to play, and have Select bound to Drop item. Quick question - What do you mean by "Nostalging marks for nostalgia's sake isnt valid good points"? I'm not sure I quite understand what you mean.

[Darkmatt717]

@Jaybeat2k6

It was from a remark on how you seem to be impressed with core elements of SMBX and not the actual design and usage of them. Instilling a sense of nostalgia isn't anything the level design is doing, that would go to aesthetics.

Anyway, I'm just merely saying nostalgic reactions don't actually make for genuine good points because your mileage may vary in that department. Then again, you really seem to be new to SMBX, so it's only natural something like that may happen.

[Jaybeat2k6]

@Darkmatt717 I know what you mean, and you're right, I am totally new to SMBX. I do have to defend WyldFox2007 here though, and say that I'm genuinely enjoying the level design as much as the aesthetics. There may be better campaigns out there, but I'm genuinely enjoying WF's campaign, and think he should be getting a little more credit for his work. Thanks for your input, though.

[Darkmatt717]

@Jaybeat2k6

I look for more from my marios. A lot of the SMBX episodes I play have bad flow, no impressive level ideas, and a tough time nailing down general consistency in a level. This one doesn't look any different from the general average quality I've learned to expect from SMBX episodes.

Now I won't call this terrible, it's better than 70% of the garbage the SMBX community shells out, but I'm not going to call it good.

[Darkmatt717]

@Darkmatt717

And another thing because my explanation is taking waaaay too long. I didn't even took a stab at this project, (It was directed towards you.) he jumped on me for the completely wrong reason because his pride be DAMNED if someone so much as HINTS towards not liking his PERFECT marios.

Not my fault if they're mad. I ain't trolling anymore here.

[Darkmatt717]

@Darkmatt717

Oh fuck this point got lost while I was trying to trim this up. Sorry for the triple post.

For someone like me who has played and made more mario levels than anyone should in their life, nostalgia stopped working on me a loooong time ago. I've seen a lot of gimmicks and themes used to the point where I'm no longer entertained by a theme or gimmick by itself.

I praise solid good points that a player of any experience can like, you know, something more concrete.

[wyldfox2007]

I did too, he just got the update to this game.

[MeatAndExplosions]

6:30 --> laughed my ass off.

[Jaybeat2k6]

@MeatAndExplosions xD Haha! Yeah I can't belive how perfectly timed that death was! "I shouldn't die now my controller it working!" THUD!
