-- Ark 22 -- Adventure/rpg; Complete., Updated 08.11.07 Options

I wanted to love this game but as soon as the first duegoen(sp?) it began to be an awful experence(sp?) the boss/miniboss(the snake guy) is too hard and felt like a way to punish the player for nothing.
The block puzzles were far too hard.
And this is in no way an RPG.
But I'll still vote for you.
This gets a 4 out of 5

...And this is in no way an RPG....

RPG: role playing game

You are definetely playing a role in this game, and the player evolution effect is there too.

I'm pretty sure that this is an rpg. It is a realtime action rpg like zelda.

(please don't take this as a flame, I'm merely informing you)

One word;

W-o-w.

This game is fantastic, I love the graphics, the music and almost everything about the game.I love the gameplay and the story is fascinating. You have created a GameMaker Classic here, and you really deserve this award.



I really hope that you continue making games as good as these, and you'll make it big. Good luck to you!

Also I might add, that you are going to recieve the highest rating I've ever given up-to-date, so here it is:

7/10!

The people who made Zelda said it is not an RPG or action RPG.

But ignoring that this is good.

Zelda-style games are ALWAYS action/adventure games, but people call them rpgs because of how the story is big and epic.

[Alpha Man]

... some bad things were the view, graphics, and the boringness... trust me, this game DOES deserve 2/10... or rather 19/100... you should work on this a little more then resubmit it... 2 and some years... were you just doing nothing all that time? No offense...

[BKO376]

A lot of talk for someone who has yet to produce a game...

[Srehpog]

Now this is interesting - the game I chose as my Cage Match successor ended up being my opponent.

I'm "Goodnight" from that other forum, Srehpog... I played the WIP and was quite impressed. Will try out the full game as soon as I have some time.

I thought so. We get around, don't we? I don't quite understand the Cage Match effect though - I got a PM asking me for an 'in case of failure' replacement game....that'll be difficult.

I guess I can see where you guys are coming from. For zelda to be a true rpg it would have to give more information about the scenario and background of the main character. I guess the char in Ark 22 applies similarly,

Unfortunately, for me to trust you on the matter would imply that you were somehow speaking from authority on the matter, which I suspect to be false. No?

The word 'because' is also very useful.

Totally agree.

Usually people have to play the game completely or at least thoroughly in order for people to respect their opinion.

I think it might mean the game that will compete with your victor in the next round if you lose. I know the loser of a cage match chooses the next contender.

I don't consider it an RPG as such, although it's arguable Zelda does have simplified levelling and enhancement systems. I just put 'RPG' on there because it never fails to generate interest.

[klaranim]

It really just depends on perspective.

If you go by the actual definition of RPG both your game and zelda would fit.

Apparantly its ambiguous (sp?).

I don't really agree with that.
I don't think you played through(sp?) it far enough to say that.
I didn't like it that much either but I still think you're being to harsh on it first off its only one person making it so you can't expect LoZ.

Now so this post isn't useless I think you should lower the diffculty of the first boss, it was just annoying to fight him since he didn't take any damage from me and when I died I had to go all the way back through(sp?) the dungeon(sp?) to fight again.

I take it that you may be OBSESSED duckdoom fanboys or something...
If you think this game is so "Gay" then why do you reply..
In my eye i see this is a spam..

Anyways..
I'm routing for Ark22!!

I hate Duck Doom... it was a feeble attempt at a game... sorry... but yeah, I'm gonna go vote for this game... it is better than Duck Doom, at least... but still is worthy of 2/10...

[hughman]

yeah I have to agree with Alpha Man....
play through past the first boss(till you beat him and keep going a little) then see what you think

yeah I've been extremely busy so back to work trying to beat the water boss..

edit: whoops!! didn't mean to say I agreed with Alpha Man meant to say I agreed with Retro Vortex lol

Alpha Man, purely out of interest....do you make games?

[vishusmartishus]

Can someone tell me how to beat the block puzzle with 8 moves? I CANT BEAT IT.

[klaranim]

(So that this doesn't count as a flame, I will leave names out.)

It's painfully obvious that some of the people using this forum have no values.

I can't imagine how these people ignore the devoted effort of real users of this forum and have enough self confidence left to make posts about it.


I can undestand if these people were non-computer oriented but for gmc users? Shame....

I agree completely.

I think there is something wrong with the sword's collison(sp?) it doesn't register hits to the first boss. I fought him once and died then coming back I couldn't beat him.

[Ablach Blackrat]

I really don't understand the hostility that some people are showing this game. It is one of the best games to come out in a long time.

But for now if anyone posts anymore spam they will be placed on a month's Mod Preview. Criticism I can understand and actually encourage but not outright flaming. I'm looking at you, Alpha Man.
