I guess it is your opinion, but why do you worry about the supports and scenery and poop like that?
Why dont you worry more about the coaster instead of what is wizzing by you? You sound more like a gardener and landscaper than a coaster person.
And if someone says that they didn't terraform or make custom supports, why mark them down on it? Not everyone has hours and hours of free time to make supports. Plus since when was this a support and gardening game? Almost all your reviews revolve around the same thing. It makes me think, have you ever even been on a roller coaster?

ahah.
well im done, complain, comment, bitch at me, delete this thread, do what you want, but I just wanted to say that.
Thanks

i too like it when people use custom supports, but they have to be 100% custom, and the scenery adds more to a coaster, gives more adrenaline and suspense cus you fly right by a wall, or water, scenery can help, but also looking at the coaster is important too. Its good to try custom supports but its also good to use the prefab ones if you know that your not good at custom supports, my coaster im gonna use custom supports on the inversions only. And how do the prefab supports make a coaster look ugly, i think people are more concerned whether the supports will hold up or not, not how pretty they are. Javi can be annoing at times, but not rooted out, also this topic should be is the complaints section. ill have more on this later, i kinda agree with you here on how he rates

Yeah I agree that supports and scenery can make it better at times, but he just seems to think that any coaster is a piece of crap if there is only a roller coaster there. And if someone says they dont have time or that they did it on purpose not to use custom supports or scenery, then you should give a 1-3 on it if it diserves more.
I myself just dont have time to fiddle around with all the nodes and adding hundreds of supports just to make it look good.
Its just sad when I read everyone of his reviews just to read the same thing over and over again.

Some of the best coasters on this planet are built over parking lots.

Well, I like to see coasters with custom supports more so than prefab supports but I realize a lot of ppl aren't good at making 3d scenary (including me). As for the custom supports, to me it shows me that they took more time with it rather than slapping something together. I dont really care if there are occasional, but very occasional prefab'd supports. And for parking lot coasters, Medusa West happens to have almost no theming (station theming only) and built over a parking lot and old sidewalk and stuff but delivers thrills many times.

I agree that you shoudl not be marked down for not having scenery, but supports are a different matter. If your wanting maximum realism, then you have to make decent supports, it relaly does add to the experience if the supports are similar to what would be there in real life, if your flying around and you see something that looks like it can't keep itself up, it's very distracting, and for me, really takes alot away from the ride.

Yeah agree to a certain extent, but people shouldn't be given 1's or 2's simply because they only used prefabbed supports instead of totally custom ones.

So your complaining about Dj giving you a detailed rate compared to comments such as
this coaster is good but has to many red spots but still is agood ride keep building them

which really doesnt help out at all? Also i feel the making custom supports and terraforming the ride adds a lot to it, even 3ds. Some coasters out there are ridiculously overrated just because they have nice 3ds. The ride could plain suck, in most places do, but due to the fact they have nice supports all the noobs come in and rate staight 10s or on other sites all lick each others asses etc. Anyway adding these extras show that you have taken the time to make your ride as good as possible etc

I understand downrating of not using custom supports but downrating of not using terrain or not using scenery? Some people don't know how to create a nice terrain or scenery. About downrating of not using custom supports, some people just use the prefab supports and give a unrealistic look, Have you ever seen a lift hill of 70 meters with only 2 support tubes on the top of the lift? i don't. Or seen a looping with on every feet a support tube. It makes just all unrealistic. The supports can maybe hold the track but still...
If your making a coaster with a terrain, ok fine, But you don't see many coasters but with a terrain, it's mostly on flat land. So why then downrating for that? If you have a terrain it can give a nice look and maybe add some nice addrennaline. And about the scenery part. A coaster can also give a nice look with some trees, but i should downrate it if you don't have it in your coaster. Mostly if i have a coaster done, i forget to put sometimes trees in it. And about the 3ds, not everyone can create 3ds, and coaster are also awesome without. You can ask other people to create 3ds but the question is if they can make it and if they want it... So i shouldn't downrate if you don't have 3ds. I only add points if there great and well placed [:)]
The conclusion is that you shouldn't downrate for terraforming and 3ds. Because people can't do it, or they think the ride is great without.

Comment By DjJavixxxxx on 07/21/2004
T: Sorry but this coaster is crap. Well, the supports are not worked, you haven't spend time building your own supports, it make the coaster looks ugly and max unrealistic. Also the layout was not good, it become boring and boring, the top hat is not good, track is rought, have too airtimes at some parts and is totatly bumpy. These tunnels are unrealistic too. Spend more time and make a decent coaster.

A: Sorry, but i only enjoyed the main drop and the top hat. After that it become repetitive and boring, and it loses interest. Not good themed .

O: Is just "another boring hyper" , not original and not worked. Whit cool supports more intense and more original stuff it would look better. Anyway, good luck on your next attempt.



You talk mainly about the supports on this one, a little bit about the track, and a tiny bit about theme, but not the main stuff he should fix about the track, like, you dont say what his main problem with the track is, all you say is it is rough, boring, repetetive and what do you by too airtimes? You need to let him know where most of his roughness and bumbyness is. Where he needs to work on with his track, and let him know what you mean by the tunnels being unrealistic, cus i dont even understand what you mean by that. It sounds like your only concerned about supports and how good they look cus you say the supports make the track look ugly. prefab supports are fine as long as they are placed realisticly and it is good to try custom supports but some people arent good at it. just like at 3d's and terraforming. when i rate, i look mainly at the track and let them know what they need to do with the track, i comment some about environment and supports, but i comment on the main issue, the persons track. You dont need pretty supports, scenery, and objects to make a good coaster, its all in the track desing and layout.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT ARE BONUS POINTS!? If you are argue for your rate, well, why not tell all people to rate your coaster!? some people probably give less points that me.

Here is the coaster for he complain: http://www.coastercrazy.com/track_exchang ... p?tid=4701

Why dont you learn to speak english a little better so we can understand you? ahah.
And I could careless what you or anyone else has to say about my coaster, I just build them for fun. Its not about my coaster, its that everyone of your reviews are the same.

I agree, its about the coaster not the gardening around it.

i hate to butt in, but i have to voice my opinion. and javixxxxx, this isnt ment to offend you, so i wont even mention you in my reply.... although you're the only person i can think of who does it.

i hate it when you make an awesome ride and its all great and fun and perfect, and then you get a 5 rating because its not terraformed or doesnt have any 3d stuff or what ever. i, for one, being an engineering student don't have time to terradform. and when i do, i click the button that makes a landscape for me, and then build the coaster around it. so, that's my view on terraforming.

custom supports: if you have a 400 foot tall ride, the regular supports definatly will not do. BUT if you have a small ride, then why not? they look decent, thay're safe, and easey. if they will work, then why not use them?

trees: trees should be counted as a theming tool. if you want to make a ride like the raven or boulder dash, then you need trees, but if you want a ride like shivering timbers, then why take off for no trees? its the ride that counts, not what's living around the tracks.

3d stuff: i really dont like how some people i already said i wont mention make it sound like they're taking points off for not having 3d stuff. i, for one do not have the 3d software that's required to make the stuff, so i dont do it. also, i cant afford many of the programs to make the stuff, i belive there's a free version of one that i tried, but i cant figure the dang thing out so i just gave up on that. so, i think that 3d stuff should be a bonus, not a requirement because of the problems that come about when trying to do it.

simply put, look aty the track when rating a ride. obviously take off if the supports are absolutally terrible, but if they work, why improove? its like fixing something that isnt broken yet...which often leads to the pre-fixer breaking the not broken thing so they really need to fix it but its so broken now (that it wasnt broken before) that they need to pay someone to fix the broken thing that wasn't broken to begin with and so on. (it made sence to me)

welp, thats all i can think of to write about npw. i might edit the post later, who knows.. buh-bye!

Then why make a complaint about him in the forums if you don't care what anyone says about your coaster, then keep comments like this to yourself and ignore them if you don't care. Also, don't make fun of other people's language problems cuz he is not the only hispanic around here who sometimes has language problems. At least he wasn't dumb enough to let some toolbar fill in their name in the username field of a forum registration form.

I was poking fun at the fact that everyone of his reviews is basically the same. And I admit I made that mistake of the registration thing.

Then why make a complaint about him in the forums if you don't care what anyone says about your coaster

Thats exactly what I said, I dont care what anyone rates my coaster, but it is sad when he rates everyone elses the exact same way

isnt that called a rating system in which the terms on which one rates are pre-defined? And does he not have a page that shows how he rates?

he's a consistent rater, better to be consistent that show tons of fluctuation and then seem to have a prejudice on some users and not on others.

Whether or not I agree with him depends on the track. But I do think that people should add some nice terrain or objects to their ride. IMO, a ride should take at least a total of a month to make. But I honesly don't care that much about custom supports unless they look nice. I mean, who cares? As long as the prefab supports were arranged realistically. If a coaster is boring, in a boring env. (eg, no nice customs, terrain, whatever.), then I might rate down for that. Other than that, I think he's usually ok as a rater, sometimes a little too strict.

You know, this is just annoying...just to even see this topic. If you don't want your coasters rated, then DON'T post dangit. Sheesh, don't whine when you get a horrible rating, try to use the criticism to make it BETTER. Hello....anybody home. You are just contradicting yourself left and right, bud.

And coasteragent, the game is NoLimits Coaster Simulation, and it is totally stupid and in poor taste to rate people down for not making their own environments and objects...I mean, the game is used to make coasters, and objects and the like are not made in NoLimits...they are created by different means that some people may not have access to. Also, pre-fab supports can be very unrealistic, and because they are a part of the NoLimits game, they should be scored. The pre-fabs just aren't realistic and aren't used correctly at times, and customs are necessary.

i think that if it does NOT come with the basic version of the game, it should not be rated. it should get bonus points. but it should not be cause for point removal. (no limits, and nothing more. no 3d stuff, no terraforming) if there is a ride with no terrain, no 3ds, and none of that fancy stuff, then terrain and 3ds should not even be mentioned in the review. if a ride does not have any of that fancy stuff, just pretend it does not exist for that ride.
