Internals as Externals...

Would you think that internals would have been popular if it would have been an external pack made by an unknown guy ?

I personally don't think it would have been this popular because most of the people trying to get WRs in most internals all seem frustrated about the hard styles and the levels. I think if it was an external pack, people would say for example :" Hey, i'm sure that in Freefall, you can get the apple and jump back directly to the end without even going down and up !" and after like 10 minutes, they would say :"Bah, it's just an external, i'll quit this level and go play a real internal"...

Interesting observation, I dont think they would be popular if it was an external pack. I agree that they would say im gonna go play a real internal. thats what I always do.

Most internals would be shitty externals

What the fuck are you talking about?! Considering that these are some of the first levels ever made it's fucking unbelievable how good they are! Personally I think internals are as good as any external level pack. Tell me which other levpack is considerably better?

Think of it another way: If the internals had been n00b speedloop levels with no style potential would the game still exist?

They certainly wouldn't get hoyled as much as they do if they were externals.... internalists regard internals as the real levels, and other levels as inferior and amateurish. when you hear words such as 'TT' you immediately associate it with internal TT, and with landmark numbers such as 39 minutes. also the internal wr table is the most high-profile, the most competitive, the most frequently updated. and finally, everybody has instant access to internals, no matter what scene you're in or which websites you visit.

Correct. If Freefall (as BoneLESS gave as an example) was an external, ppl wouldÂ´nt spend time trying to do teh WR style, just bcauz it looks shitty, and it "probably was a freaking n00b which had made it"....

I think they have potential and If I discovered them as externals I would be tempted to play them... Levels as Loop de Loop, Bowling and quite some of the others are quite original... and no much speed loops. Have you ever seen levels like Sink, Serpent's Tale or What the Heck that weren't based on the authentic ones? ...these were great ideas. Because these levels were made on a long period, I think (there was no hurry because there was no demand).

i disagree. i think many topics are just there beceause ppl want to post. but this topic was good.

back to topic.

now i'm wrigin on this topic.

now i'm not being off topic and doing posts about being off topic and other stuff.

ok, now i will start.

as a levpack i think internals would be quite averege. but if i think about it most levpacks are quite good, and internals are averege levels. but some internals are really good. hm i dont remember what this topic is about any more.

edit: ok now i read what the topic is about.

i wont be off topic.

i sware.

what i meant is that when you just download a levle from a "this is my furst level" or "try my level" you can get many crap levels. and some internals are crap levels. so it probably wouldnt be a popular level pack. because only the best level packs are popular.

then the styles in internals are so hard because they have been played for so long and styles are invented by so many ppl. so i dont see how it matters.
