"Oh God, this game is so bad, I would rather cut my own appendix out with a rusty spoon than bear any more of this torture. It's so bad. It should crawl back into the sewers like the piece of shit that it is."
Whoever wrote that was clearly suffering from a rageboner at the time.
I've actually seen weird little obscure backhanded swipes like this at The Way in various places a few other times, mostly in other RPG Maker games. I think I subconsciously just assume it's Ryan's doing all the time.
Or maybe it was
this douche. Reading his first post is actually a pretty good laugh, since it so perfectly exemplifies that overambitious premature load-blowing that the RPG Maker community is known for. He even has an ultra cunt name "Invisionary"; it's almost too perfect. The sad thing is it looked like we were actually willing to play ball with him for a bit there. I'm pretty sure I knew exactly how it was going to turn out, but I think I played along just so he would be less annoying.
I know when we (or maybe it was just me) actually did start brushing him off, he pretty much exposed his
dickishness (so to speak), and I think I had to block him on AIM because he kept trying to flame me or something like that.
I see now his grand master plan wiki hasn't been updated since 2007. You know, if I'm ever having a really bad day, I can always take solace in the fact that I was always right about predicting everything in the RPG maker community. And I'm 100% sure the exact same thing would've happen even if we actually did everything he asked.
So yeah, going back to the random Way hate out there, I guess it could be ANYONE in the RPG maker community. Because if there's one thing I've noticed, it's that people who've never actually finished a game (and I don't mean the random hobby games most of us have worked on at some point, I mean shit with 15 minute demos and a hundred screenshots posted on GamingW) are typically tremendously jealous of and extremely butthurt over games that actually finished. I think that's where a lot of the hate come from, since The Way is
6 finished games.
