Oh oh! Yay! I will start on the Halo review. And I just want to say that anyone else who wants to review Halo should, as well. Don't you always like it when reviews are from more than one person?  :)

And....I definitely will do a review for Tales of Symphonia once I play through it fully.

Question, isn't "control" and "gameplay" the same thing?
Click to expand...

Actually..... gameplay is different than control.  Control is more how the controller is setup with the game and how things react.... gameplay is more how you react with the game... and how the AI reacts with you..etc.

Do you think we shouldn't have control?

Well, I wouldn't change it just because I complained about it, I mean, it's your contest right? But to me the controls are part of the gameplay, because gameplay is the playability of the game, which includes how it feels to control it. I know I'm just talking in circles here, but would it be acceptable to kind of put control and gameplay in the same kind of paragraph, and then just give them both the same rating? I do see what you're saying but I still think one kind of blends in with the other.
 
Hey,
Dude, no way..Control and gameplay are no-where near similar.....For control I wrote up how the game actually controls and how the control scheme works, and for gameplay I wrote what you actually do in the game, i.e-gamePLAY....Theres no way I can change this now BV, my review is about 80% done......I think you should just leave it EXACTLY how it is, and yes gamepro does have fun factor but its no big deal, they suck anyways... :p
 
OK! :lol this did cause a problem.  I am not changing.

I told myself.... if there was a problem, its staying as is.

Except... Addiction factor will be there instead of fun factor :D

N/M the thought of changes... there are none except fun factor to addiction factor.. for uniqueness :)

I'm not asking everyone else to change, I'm just saying could I combine the two into one paragraph/rating out of 10? Let's not lose our heads over this, I was just clarifying something, there's no need for anyone else to change anything. I still think that the way the game handles is part of the gameplay, not some sub-section of control. I'd need to see an example of a game where control and gameplay are 2 separate things.

Take OOT for example, slashing your sword with Link, would that fall under control, or gameplay? Would the ability to Z-target enemies be control or gameplay? Riding Epona, would that be control or gameplay?

I always used to think all of the above were gameplay, so please help me figure out what's what.
 
Hey,
Lol, yea stealth I think we just have different ideas of what control and gameplay are, simple misunderstanding, no biggie :-*....So what should I do BV? Should I leave control and gameplay seperate or should I combine them into one? I know I said I'm to far to change but I guess it wouldn't be to hard to change it if you want, your call BV....
 
WHO WILL THIS MESS UP IF WE COMBINE THEM?

This is the only change that will be considered. Everything else WILL NOT be changed.

†B†V† :hat
 
I don't even really want it changed I just need some help clarifying one from the other.


Edit: In fact, I've been reading over my review and I think I know what you guys mean. I'd still like an example or something, just to make sure I'm on the right track, but do not change anything, I wouldn't want to be responsible for everyone else having to rewrite their review.
 
I think control describes what functions are mapped to each button and how well that works for the game. IE in Halo, the left trigger is grenades and the right trigger is firing your weapon. It's a good layout, with my only problem being that sometimes I'm not paying attention to the left trigger and I accidently set a grenade, usually killing myself in the process since I never even noticed I set a grenade until it goes off.

Gameplay is like what you do in the game.
 
LOL, dontcha' hate when that happens mai?

Anyways, I feel the same as Mai about this, for control I did the actual control sheme and how the characters actual feel when you are battling, moving, etc...So yea I think we should just leave control and gameplay seperate...

Since we can only do one game and the deadline is October, I think I will go ahead and do a review for Tales of Symphonia instead of Halo.

You can do more than 1 if you want to submit others to the site. BUT, only 1 can be used in the review contest :)

The reviews will be rated on content, grammer, spelling, and conciseness as well

No cussing, profanity, fowl language

You spelled grammar and foul wrong.

Fowl language would be talking about chickens.

Odd... I thought I changed those. I was typing pretty fast and made a couple errors... but I thought I changed those :lol
*call me out again and get banned :p :lol J/K*

Four Swords? Sweet! Are mods allowed to enter? If I can't, I'll judge.
Click to expand...
Mods can enter :)

Do we have to inform you of what we're reviewing beforehand?
Click to expand...
no... this is not necessary.. BUT if you want to post up the review you are doing... go for it (meaning which game...not your whole review).
