Comments & Cricitisms on the Forum magazine

[ComradeBadger]

So? What do you think.... is it good, bad or whatever?

Please tell me so I can make it better for all

 

[The Mullinator]

So far its looking really good. Naturally it has lots of room for evolving but that can come later.

I think I'll be writting about something much more controversal next. I didn't get a single PM on the subject. ;(

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Badger does this really need to be a sticky...its getting cluttered up here


Anyway, the mag is pretty good...but it would be nice to have its own subpage, perhaps once a review becomes "old" it can be moved into a sticky in the Off Topic Forum.

 

[bastard_loud]

Forum Magazine?

 

[ray_MAN]

Pretty snazzy. You guys just gotta add some more stuff I am sure someone here has TRON.

 

[SnowBall]

Looking so far. if you dont mind I also have a suggestion. Make annother section called "The Bargain Bin" where you review older games.

 

[Frank]

You could also chose to give each section of the game grades, such as:
Graphics: 9
Sound/Music: 8
Gameplay: 2
Durability: 10

Or something...get my point?

it could be better, i liked the beyond good and evil demo better than that "hunter" character
PS: My next review is coming up around the corner and, thanks to snowball, it will be a bargin bin review!

 

[Tr0n]

Hell.....I like it....oh wait i'm on the team so I have to like it.

 

[ComradeBadger]

Excellent feedback guys....

I'm gonna implement the 'Bargin Bin' ..... I doubt we'll get a subpage for a while though

 

[theGreenBunny]

I like it, but I think it could use some more uniformity and clarity in the scoring system. Instead of just "94%" more detailed grading would be nice too (just noticed Frank said that too, so... what he said). And of course a subpage

 

[Brian Damage]

Links to screenshots?

 

[Sulkdodds]

Well ard. How would you all like to see an article on the next generation of mods?

 

[ComradeBadger]

Won't let me edit posts at the moment, wait till I get back from College to see the grades for Max Payne, and Sulkdodds Bargin Bin review of 'The Thing'

 

[Fat Tony!]

your mag sux . lol anyway being serious now u should put walkthroughs and hints and stuff

 

[azz0r]

Where is this magazine you speak of?

Ive heard of it, cant see it though, some links would be nice :rolleyes;

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Its the sticky in this section (off topic forum) and should be near the top along with this thread.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Its too long!
I need your email address to get it to you. I cant fit it in a pm. pm your mail address to me. Im sorry, Its a pain, but there isnt really anything I can cut out.

 

[ComradeBadger]

Done Sulkdodds

 

[pat_thetic]

Do NOT use sum and 2 in place of some and to. It makes this magazine look like it was made by 12 year old aolers...

 

[manny_c44]

It blows. The reviews are terribly short and un-informative. The organization is poor and the giant font for scores annoys me.

Not to mention everything is a rave review.....95% for Halo? Maybe someone who doesn't have a Halo avatar should review this terribly mediocre mess of a game.

 

[thehunter1320]

HEY! halo is a pretty good game... but i would have given it a 92% myself

 

[Solidarnosi]

Just please spell 'bargain' correctly, thank you.

 

[The Mullinator]

heh heh, looks like its got a long way to go before the magazine becomes an actual front page feature of HL2.net.

Oh well, back to work.

 

[Solidarnosi]

I like it, good idea! was joking around earlier. Any content related to gaming is welcome imho.

Eeep, that spellcheck got past me....

I'll sort that. Oh, and Manny, not all reviews are rave ones.... anyway... I'd like to point out that this is just a test... until we get a subpage etc. Yeah and sorry, but I'm using british spelling

EDIT: Spelling sorted.

Oh, and I've had an interesting idea. We could make this a proper monthly magazine... in HTML, which could be downloadable. Be warned, this will mean we will have deadlines....

Reckon this is good/bad?

 

[The Mullinator]

The downloadable version would look and feel much more profesional than it is right now, so I'm all for it. Deadlines are fine by me since I signed up expecting them.

 

[thehunter1320]

ditto, if i need to, i can churn out a review in a matter of an hour

 

[ComradeBadger]

Ok, I'll start on the HTML stuff.... hmmm the pictures I found for UT2004 are 1.04Mb in total, this mag is gonna be quite big...

I'm gonna have to ask you guys to sumbit screenies with your reviews

Oh, and for now, the mag won't look that professional, just text and images, maybe a frame

 

[Sulkdodds]

Excellent idea...deadlines are fine by me.

 

[Fat Tony!]

sounds gd

 

[DarkelP]

deadlines? as in 'you cross this line your dead' kinda lines?.........................thats abit too far badger, Dammit man were only human! we want to cross the damn line!


oh wait, i get what you mean with deadlines....*gulps*...i spose i could do that, yer why not

 

[Sulkdodds]
