Re: AQW too...silly?

by Wixmagic Mon Aug 02, 2010 4:50 am

I liked the Giant Story thing...I like the whole game, if you want a serious game, go play one, don't try to change one that isn't supposed to be serious :l

Im not saying this shouldnt be silly Wixxeh, but I am saying that the silliness can throw off a lot of people. There should be some middle ground, puns, but not an excess of them.

by Wixmagic Mon Aug 02, 2010 5:21 am

I like puns, puns are great, even bad ones.

by Jason Mon Aug 02, 2010 5:51 am

Yeah, but some get annoying, Wix..

by Wixmagic Mon Aug 02, 2010 6:11 am

I'm not annoyed by them, I find them entertaining.

by Jason Mon Aug 02, 2010 6:17 am

I'm not getting annoyed by them. Some just GET annoying.

Me likes the Puns ^.^

Puns are a plus. It's nice to know that AE has a decent sense o' humor. I don't enjoy playing it anymore, its lost it's sweet taste. Oh, and I added a new voting option for those who said "Wat".

I'd like AQW to be...inbetween. AQ is VERY deep in its storyline, so much that it pretty much made me quit it. I cba to read the whole thing, ever since the Devourer Saga I pretty much stopped. But I want it to be more serious then, say what Toy said the HUGE amount of puns (NOTruto, just obvious puns for most stuff to get away from copyrighting) and the recent release for Giant Tales (Very silly, nobody wants a chain, even a 4 part one, about Smurfs. I gotta say the roach racing was fun but if it was a little more serious, say...NASCAR racing or such; LSCAR? it would have been much better.)

RESPECT Shadz. You deserve 10 cookies.

I think it could be a wee bit more serious at times during the LoCs, any other time is fine.

by **Cial** Mon Aug 02, 2010 10:53 am

Guys, I can honestly say I like it less serious. My little brother plays AQW and he likes the puns. He likes the silly characters and he likes the funny weapons. (He weilds a slimey staff with slimey hair). And I know for a FACT he didn't like the Miltonious zone, because it confused him. He loved Escherion, though. In my book, AE is doing something really good by catering to younger players. Otherwise they play *shiver* NEOPETS.

by **Tim Hortans** Mon Aug 02, 2010 7:45 pm

HEY! Neopets is kewl beenz

Wat.

Anyways, my take: I like it's sillyness. BUT, I think it does need to be a bit more serious IN CERTAIN EVENTS! Like, you are about to fight a chaos lord, and out of no where both of them crack like 19 puns. Sure they're funny, but to me it seems awkward, and it just doesn't fit in right next to the boss fight.

Another thing about the sillyness is basically Mythsong. Mythsong took everything way too far, I only played the first and last release. It was worse than Yokai.

And besides, some of the puns in this game are funny to me, but they might not be funny to a younger kid! I'm sure a lot of the puns go right over their head! Like, the entire Escherion zone, perhaps? Sure, it's chaos and everything is upside-down, woohoo! But I bet a lot of younger kids wouldn't understand who M.C. Escher is! And the entire saga is devoted to him!

I agree Tim, Mythsong had way too many puns. And modern references. I mean, isn't this game set in a what, medieval or something time period?

by Jason Mon Aug 02, 2010 9:48 pm

Yeah it is. But They always have those furuteistic times, like Warpforce, Mythsong as you mentioned, the Star Swords..

Well it is a comnination of timelines. AQ and DF were set in our world medieval times where as MQ was set in our world really far future times. So AQW can have stuff from anywhere from Infinity BC-Around 4000

Also, it's a game, it doesn't have to make sense :P

I personally like the puns. I like jokes. My little brother and sister love AQW because of its sillyness. Think what would AQW be if there were no puns. Image a 2D game that tries its hardest to be serious. No one would play. It would just be no fun.

by Jason Tue Aug 03, 2010 10:27 pm

Good point, I thought it was pretty funny at the Lion Fang war when the trap cysero was in was a Circle that said "Do not cross" :3

by Wraith Tue Aug 03, 2010 10:58 pm

IMO AQW could use some more serious moments. Hopefully as the story progresses it'll get darker and more serious, but only slightly.

by **Tim Hortans** Tue Aug 03, 2010 11:07 pm

Mechquest is in the past, like 4000 years or something.

by Jason Tue Aug 03, 2010 11:16 pm

3000*

They tell you the year every new years..

AQW = E10+.

I just thought of something. The game is for children, no denying that, and thats why it's not serious. But what I see AE doing, or what they should do, is make Miltonius and J6's zones areas that are more for the older part of the AE community.

It's basicly like that now anyway. Thats why there was uproar when Miltonius' area had to change. Once Miltoniius is back on it's complicated feet, I hope AE continue J6's area a lot. J6's area is like a heaven where all older players who find Miltonius' zone to complicated can go and have a lot of fun. IMO.

by Jason Fri Aug 06, 2010 3:45 am

Well said Zeo. I agree.

I love J6. LOVE J6. I have nothing against Milt. Just his zone. It's confusing.

I'll try it again, but I'm not sure if I'll like it. O_O
