I just want someone''s opinion on RPG Maker XP, is it cool? Is it great to make rpg's? I personally like it because with the script editor you dont have to make an rpg, it can be a life game, an adventure game, anything really! So lets hear some opinions!

i havent done a lot of game programming but i know that the best way to go is to use irrlicht or some other game engine. i have used RPG Maker XP and i didnt really like it (partly because the english site was down) because it is S...L...O...W as it makes the game in its own code and then compiles when the game runs thus limiting your creativity. As far as i am aware ORPGs cant be made and unique customisation cant be made and its not cross platform but there are better prorgrams then RMXP like Game Maker (not Gamemaker which is for Mac) which can do a lot more than RMXP like physics, 3D output, DLL intergration and LAN/WAN connections
