Why does every 1 prefer RM2k3 over XP?

[Ian'sRPGstuff]

ya and xp is kinda slow in way.

[drenrin2120]

If RPG Maker II for the PS2 was on the PC as well, you'd all be using THAT one and forget what the rm series even is. I have no doubt about it.

as long as you stay away from the ruby scripting in XP you won't have too much trouble... XD

[AsakuraHao2004]

RPG Maker 2000/3 is easier to use, make resources for, and script.

Although, I love XP's charaset system.

Xp is the same as the other makers with alot added on

[BlackIceAdept]

also he means  ALOT theres more new options then I can list here its insane!

I almost always used 2k, but im converting to 2k3, but with charset size bsets, because I like the plain look on the 2k/2k3 chars.

[drenrin2120]

I, personally don't like the walking GFX in RMXP. But I agree with RuneBlade, rm2k3 has that signature SNES graphics. I lvoe SNES graphics, they are jsut cool looking to me, you can do a lot with it.

We's just used to the rm2k(3) system of making a game. Really, all the starting scripts that come with a game you make are in japanese. So unless you know every single meaning of combonations of kanji or something, then I think it really would be much easier to use rm2k(3).

Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, Bluhman, but even I have a completely translated English RMXP.

Still, I have very little of an idea of how scripts work (The only games I've tried scrpitng to before are Morrowind and Neverwinter Nights. I easily mastered the Morrowind scripting method but such a story with Neverwinter Nights would be desirable) and trying to learn how another scripting language for another program would just be too much for my little, very hairy noggin.

1: Not everybody has a fast internet connection. Rm2k/2k3 can be downloaded in under 2 hours even with a modem, but I'm pretty sure XP's file is HUGE.

2: Not everbody has a fast computer. Rm2k works on semi-old computers (though Rm2k3 doesn't quite work on them). XP most likely doesn't.

3: You don't need to learn a scripting language to make a game (even a pretty good game) in Rm2k/2k3.

4: There's bazillions of graphics and other stuff available for Rm2k/2k3. Not much for XP yet.

5: XP's RTP looks pretty terrible. So what if it has more colors and more complexity and all that? It looks like crap. (of course, 2k and 2k3's aren't the GREATEST THING EVER either, but still)

6: And of course, this site doesn't support XP... so what little stuff there is out there for XP is even harder to find.

okay 1st  i agree with the computer speed part
2nd rpg maker XP hads the same scripting system as 2k3  its just ioptional to use the "Ruby"
3rd what the heck are you saying?! how can xps RTP look horrible?! it surpasses anything i have ever seen in rm2k3 its verry good and there are like 30RTP tilesets

[drenrin2120]

I think he's talking about the monsters, I definitely don't like the monsters graphics.

[coasterkrazy]

I actually started using XP, but I switched to 2k3 because it's used more often and also I had to raise my screen resolution pretty high just to be able to see all the windows in XP.
