"Silence" is a dmod that MegadogV2 can be proud of. I was the first to review it and gave it a 5.8. Now that score could seem low to some, but what I was actually conveying is that the dmod was definitely above average which is actually quite impressive considering the following:
1.) It was his first dmod.
2.) it was an actual adventure (not just killing stuff) where the main character couldn't speak at all!
3.) There were other limits such as number of screens allowed.
So to make a dmod that is above average (average being 5.0) considering these handicaps would be no easy feat. I tip my cap to the man!
I have no doubt, based on his prior work, that MegadogV2 could make something really special if he puts his mind to it.
One could look at this in one of two ways -- that 5.8 is too low compared to what some other dmods have been getting, or that so many other dmods have just been getting scores that are just obscenely high! Personally, I think it is the later. There's nothing anyone can do about it now though. TDN just went too far down that road for too long, and now scores have lost all meaning. It is no longer about how good a dmod is that determines the score, it is about who is doing the scoring. That's all there is to it...... It isn't anyone's fault in particular though, but the fact is that you just can't safely judge a dmod by the score that some random person gave it or by what scores any other dmods get. This is the biggest problem in the history of The Dink Network that I am aware of. Downloading a dmod is buying a pig in a poke.
Finally, I too support and encourage all dmod makers. Even many of the worst dmods have their own charm. Not that there have been any bad ones lately.
