Scratch

"People seem to have different opinions on games that they like or dislike."
I mean quality games. Even if you only like a type of genre, you can easily tell a quality game from the other 99.99% of the stuff here.

I looked through each of them, and there seemed to be only two games in each worth playing, but one of them was short and the other was a puzzle game that got boring fast.

I suppose I could mention a few users who games I like. Try looking up users 08jackt, RHY3756547, glitchfinder, BoltBait, and archmage.

Bear in mind that there are a lot of users here who are pretty young and/or new to Scratch; additionally, Scratch isn't exactly as powerful as other programming languages out there - more likely than not, you may come across a lot of projects who you feel are not up to par with what you're looking for, so you'll really have to dig around to find stuff.

Yeah, and I rarely ever needed to actually open a project because it was obvious It wasn't what I was wasn't looking for it.

I'll take a look at those users.

I know a lot of users are young or new to Scratch, and I also know I can expect to ford a river of garbage if I want to find anything good. I was hoping someone who could save me the trip.

As for scratch isn't as powerful as other programming languages, I wouldn't consider it a language. It should be compared with tools like Stencyl and "Flash Platform maker", not languages like C#.

Even if it "Technically" is, I wouldn't compare Scratch to a real language like C++ or even GML.

As you've already stated, scratch is a really weak and limited tool. It shouldn't be compared with things on a completely other level.

Ah, but the trip is half the fun! You might not find heaps of fantastic, polished games on Scratch but what I guarantee you'll find is inspiration. Part of the beauty of Scratch is its simplicity. It's simple (and slow    ) by design, and many of the best projects on the site were build by users who leveraged or overcame that simplicity, even though they're probably quite capable programmers in other languages. If you don't believe me, look up Coka's projects. The amount of code compared to the quality of the project is incredible. Other projects are interesting in an educational sense, and sometimes you might come across an animation or two worth watching. So plug your nose if you must, but keep your eyes open as you "ford the river of garbage" because the beauty of Scratch is that you never know what you might find.

This.

But quite popular are the Radar, Ghost, Green It and Darkness series. All made by 08jackt. Although the lag is a little too long for my taste, from a purely programming POV, it's awesome.

I really enjoy this game and this game. I can link you to some more if you want.

And also, some projects might seem bad online, but when downloaded  they could be really good!

Yeah, Scratch isn't the best programming language has a lot of others, but has my dad says, its a start, especially for people who are like kids (Lets not count how many are on Scratch  )

Try looking through here and here.

Keep in mind that Scratch is a weak programming language and you shouldn't expect anything like the games on gaming sites.

Check out the one in my signature - that's my best game yet.
