Agreed. I never saw his parks to be anything great, the coasters weren't amazing, either was the buildings or scenery. In my opinion his parks were jumped up due to him being a mod at Ego Station.
I guess I just don't see what's so "good" about his work.I agree that Mike Robbins should be on the list. I loved Asian Adventures and he is an all round great parkmaker.
Sorry.

I agree completely. He uses the "It's realistic, it doesn't have to look good." philosophy, which I completely disagree with. Realism and aesthetics have to be balanced out. Not everything in real life is worth making a park out of...

So MA, Mike is saying that parks in real life don't look good? -

As for the originality thing... fine, if your work is completely original but many others do Mike's style just as well. It's not like cbass where noone is anywhere near as innovative... -

cBass said it best (stole my line), but alas, the discussion has gone on further/too long...
'Tis sad that this has turned into a "Mike Robbins Love/Hate" topic...
His work, like many others', has its merits. It's funny that even though it was dead most of the year, people insist on referring to someones style or image as something to do with RCT Station. Sure, he got his start there, but so did a lot of people here, yet most of you shun/ignore/forget that.
Get over the fact of where he "came from", why his parks have or haven't been popular at certain internet sites over the past years while yours have done their own thing, and move on.
He's a parkmaker in the community, just as you and I are...we all have different styles, tastes, opinions, etc...
Grow up, and move along.

I find his work very pleasing and fun to look at. He has good coaster skills and makes an atmosphere that is at many times unmatchable. Cheers to Mike, and you should be on the list. -

Well, I just looked at John's unfinished stuff and I've gotta say all he needs is the ability to finish parks... as soon as he does, if it's at the same standard he should be a parkmaker imo. -

yeah, thats the thing im wondering, will it matter if someones does not have a finished park? guys like cBass and Micool both got full scale parks out so id put them atop my list, coz IMO that should matter. Johns unfinished stuff was awsome. iris was right about him. but does haveing a finished park matter? coz you got some guys worthy that may be better then the guys with them.Well, I just looked at John's unfinished stuff and I've gotta say all he needs is the ability to finish parks... as soon as he does, if it's at the same standard he should be a parkmaker imo.

To be quite honest with you, I only found Project Tres to be good. The other stuff was overdone imo.
But John knows what I think. He's got the skill, but he doesn't always apply it very well. -

Definitely. What's the point in being a parkmaker if you're not going to release anything?yeah, thats the thing im wondering, will it matter if someones does not have a finished park? guys like cBass and Micool both got full scale parks out so id put them atop my list, coz IMO that should matter.

And I guess, Kumba, that works to your advantage. Because you release a shit load of parks -

Turtleman are you stupid or something?
Virus is not your park, I don't know why you are finishing it I don't know how many times I have told you you're not supposed to be completing it so you can forget about releasing it. -

It was Mort's park in the first place. He said I could. I deleted everything that was yours in the park. So it's basically a new park with my work already in it. -

He basically covered everything I was going to say.I can't take it anymore. I have to say it.
I have no disrespect to ride6, but why is he on that? I really have been looking carefully at his work and it aint good at all. I see no style. No skill. Nothing. It's very boring and random and ya. You know.
No disrespect ride6. Your a good man though. Lol.

Oh shit yeah I suppose you would know whose park it was cos' you were obviously at Morts house too when we decided to do a group park together.
The park is mine and Mort's and it is not a 'new' because you deleted my coaster it has a whole fucking area from Mortician in it. You have serious issues with taking in what people say to you. You were not allowed back into RCTU and me and Mort decided we should just leave Virus so we told you to stop working on the park (at this point you had done, what?, half an area) and that it was going to be scrapped. But no you have to live up to your asshole name, that you act as if you welcome although you obviously despise it, and finish the park.
