Re: Curse of Craclevania 2, WHAT?! A decent game from toonpimp?!
First off, I'd like to preface this by saying that I don't believe stylistically artists can be compared, but as long as John is playing advocate, I might as well.
Ok, so there can be arguments that the material released by TP is better than that of Toffis, more obvious sex content as well. But why is Toffi a better game maker if the argument is that TP's content in his games are better? The reason is because Toffi releases games, TP doesn't. As long as tp decides to go his route of unfinishing everything he touches and recycling being his only creative process, EVERYONE who actually releases a game that's done is considered a better game maker, because they actually make games, which is the sole requirement of being a game maker, that TP fails in doing.
Toonpimp did realease some complete games as previously stated, your argument is weak...
@dragoonistix
Yeah, you made it clear he's a better person, and got potentials, i recognise that and i praise him too for his efforts and open mind(although it might not seem like i do

), but you're talking future and i'm talking present, we're on different pages of the same book, i can't disagree with your statements, because they're coherent with my personal view, but nothing in my last post refers to potentials, i talk about actual content of presently accessible materials, since i addressed your point i'd apreciate you addressed mine.
I am kinda appalled that JohnDoe insulted the fans of Toffi. In fact, I wouldn't have thought he'd even go THAT low, my mind leaving him at least a small space for improvement.
I guess he's either looking for drama, or just being dumb. I do not want to think of the latter because dsgsdggsdfhhrshdgeawsgfsd *sounds of breaking down and crying heard*
Heh, the irony lies in the transposition of the toonpimp/toffi comparison to the treatment toffi/toompimp fan-bases gets, i admit it's a pretty obscure underlying meaning, but irony isn't supposed to be easily accessible.

If you feel offended by my complex and ambiguous joke i apologize.
The reason my games are better is... well, fuck it, I have no place in this argument.
And actually I couldn't care less who's a better game maker. I can't draw for shit and my coding skills are limited to a 2002 Freeware Fighter Maker. All I do is putting screenshots together to make semi-fluent animations.
And that's it. I'm not competing with anybody and I don't plan to. I am just doing what I like. If people like the result, it's even better. If not, maybe I'll try to fix a problem or I don't.
What I really don't get from your post is this: why do you think people need an objective argument for liking something? Especially in Hentai Games.
Well, I have to admit in this thread it has gotten a little cultic and while I enjoy the praise it's a little embarassing as well.
Damn you, stop wasting time on this thread and go work!!!

Bad jokes aside, please don't take my hard criticism too much to heart, it's harsh for a reason(which i'm not explaining, if you really want to know i can pm you about it

).
Back on track, i never said there is a need for "an objective argument for liking something", you need objective facts to argue about something with others, you need objective arguments when making statements for these to be useful toward the discussion, extremely subjective posts of personal opinions can be detrimental to a discussion, if it meets another totally subjective point of view, there are very high chances you'll see the start of a "flame war", imagine it like two guys shouting at each other in different languages, there is no understanding of each other's point, you need an objective(or at the very least a similarly subjective) concept to actually connect, an even ground where two agree(for example the meaning of a word). I know this looks more complicated than it actually is, but i can't do better in english...

Now, i don't have any problem with people coming out and saying "I really like this, for me it's the best", but when you show up in a thread and make an hard(and rather offensive) comment, comparing someone to someone else on the simple base of your personal subjective view not giving any objective reason, it ticks me off.
When i see this "TP is like a slave and Toffi his master if only he could learn from Toffi i think he could improve his games alot." i think:
Why the hell did you have to say that?
What the hell happens if a toonpimp-fan shows up?
Why the fuck did you have to make it into a gay S&M relationship???
ace5903 made a perfectly coherent post till he had the weird urge to instigate chaos, then dragoon made a joke and ace and luppi(one piece, anyone?) exasperated the concept making it a look like an objective truth that toffi's games were much better than toonpimp's and the latter would have to learn from toffi on how to make a game. Now, at present, the two of you don't even use the same medium for making games, and use completely different metods of producing art and animations, all things that should stop people from making useless comparisons, but fanboys don't care about facts or other opinions, they only know you're the best and no one else can raise higher than the soil you step on, i remember in another forum someone say fairy fighting isn't half as good as fairy war, and that eluku could learn a lot from you in game making(think it was hongfire, not sure), so it's not just toonpimp.

I like you and your work man, but your cult just plainly piss me off!

(you asked for an explanation, so you better read it all and answer accordingly, cause it was a pain to type.
