Off Topic / Re: Just a question.
« on: September 24, 2009, 12:49:19 AM »Well, first, why I don't like it;
I had a hard time even finding where to play the game. After some searching, I found it. I moved around a bit and spawned some weapons, just to see what they were like. The Roblox rocket launcher is famed for shooting a box that moves slowly enough for you to move in front of it and shoot yourself. I attempted to build, only to be horribly confused by what I was supposed to be doing. I knew I had to resize the brick, but couldn't find out how. So, I simply went back to destroying the starter house. I went to check on a topic I had made here, and when I finished, came back to find Roblox had frozen. I thought maybe I'd browse around their forums to see if there was any help abound, but reading some of the topics made me simply shake my head in pity. I also take into account that although Roblox may be "free", you need to buy a builder's club membership to get decent things, which costs about $300 for a lifetime. Blockland costs $20 for a lifetime.
Second, why it's not best to talk about it;
It usually sparks some sort of fight, and it attracts newer members who think the correct thing to do is to say how much "Roblox sucks Blockland ftw lolol" and simply spill their stupidity everywhere.
I'm not saying Roblox sucks, it just has a lot of issues and doesn't appeal to me.
This is Badspot, the creator of Blockland's view on Roblox:
Oh, and a wise warning: Posting a link to Roblox here will get you banned. This feature was added shortly after Roblox began the Ambassador program, and we've been told it bans people often.
Yes, I know that what he wrote was true AT THAT TIME. HOWEVER, gameplay on ROBLOX has gotten much better. Many glitches are fixed and GUIs are coming out, which will boost ROBLOX's gameplay. And saying ROBLOX's movement is jerky is a complete lie. It is a little worse than BlockLand, I'll admit, but not to the point where it's jerking around. Besides, what can you expect from the creator and competitor of ROBLOX (no offense intended)? The camera was glitchy at the time he was reviewing it and I HAVE played professional games. I HAVE noticed that ROBLOX does seem wacky at times. But what makes me keep coming back are scripting, in-depth building, friends, and other great stuff.
