This was classed as useless - My work

The art work still has yet to be inproved, but what I noticed was you made it run smoother, though this greatly took out the style that was evident in the earlier ones.
The voice acting was good, but the story was just completely copied, on the original you made slight changes to it in the way it was said, yet on herethere was no originality, the only area that did could have been the talk with Naomi.
The joke about Otacon wetting himself was far to drawn out, I didn't find the over the topness of it very funny, and it lasted for far to long, I almost closed the animation.
One of the small parts that I found was funny was his line of "I'm going to bang that" or whatever it was along those lines.
The animation was overall to short as well, it should have lasted beyond that point especially as you took so much time over it.

I would say work on the art more, the part with the lazers looked very badly drawn, also the way in which you made it flow more continuosly actually made it work less, as this prevented the image from being well made. I would prefer to see a smooth highly graphical piece rather than a less graphical piece that is made to be over smoothed.

Still I hope the next one goes well. Just work on the art work, humour and story.

I think your very right. I have been around for a little now and I really like writing reviews and I take it seriously. But if you check my profile you'll see there aint many. Why? Because of the flood of One Liners, One Worders or even Sign Language Freaks! I fear that the thoughts I take at least some ten minutes, mostly more, will just be drowned and never ever be noticed. And although this might sound a little arrogant but I value my thoughts and will not waste them. I only ever made one review that only consisted of one word and I've made a resolution now to go forth and set a good example and review every movie and game I watch and play, and thats a lot daily and these reviews will be good ones. The other, more minor reason I haven't written that many reviews is that I'm a reply-whore and thus mostly chose artists that had a trend of replying to reviews, but I tossed that now.

lol pic of Lincoln smoking.
sorry that Fleek is bothering you. I don't know him, but he's a dumbass.

Ah. Yeah. I just started up on Newgrounds recently, and I agree with you completely. For the most part, the artists and animators have put in countless hours of work, it wouldn't kill someone to put a minute or two into a thought out comment.
But, not much we can do but ignore them, eh?

AlterTFT 2008-03-25 23:31:38

Albeit I'm fairly new to Newgrounds, I agree completely. With all the countless hours animators spend on their projects, you'd think people take a minute or two out of their time to leave a thought out review.

AlterTFT 2008-03-25 23:32:24

Ack. Like I said, new to NG. Posted twice. Sorry about that man.

Draculady 2008-03-26 00:47:48

I understand how you feel, but my advice is just to ignore it. Sadly, a great many people think purely in those inane blurps; ie: "That was awesome!", "That sux", or "Fo shizzle my nizzle". It's a growing and depressing trend.
Still, I am certain every now and again you receive a review that has some sort of thought put into it, be it negative or positive. I suggest you focus on those reviews and take comfort that as far as the others go, someone has to grill your hamburgers. :)

In general I tend to leave helpful reviews and generally they're labeled as such, but it takes a long time for me to write a good review out.

It's a bit annoying how few people respond, and most replies are roughly along the lines of "I don't care." Perhaps a way to differentiate reviews from comments would help, although I suppose making a link to a forum for the game like this one could work to some extent...

I've taken to writing fewer reviews as a result... If an author specifically asks for them, or I have something particular to point out, I might write one, otherwise I just vote and leave it at that.

Joowna 2008-03-26 03:05:26

I barely (is that the good word?) get reviews, but it's good that there are always ppl who give a nice review with good critics what they like and what they don't like/miss. :)

Sonni 2008-03-26 10:06:13

Perhaps we should turn "Flash Reviews" Into "Flash Comments" instead eh? But I do agree with you. Those helpful reviews are the kind of review that flash animators (maybe not everyone) wanted to see.

Balvuc 2008-04-01 23:25:22

Yes I agree with Sonni. I believe there should be a system of comments and a separate system of reviews. This way, people that feel as Frozenfire would be able to totally skip the comments. Still, there should be a specific filter for the reviews... But I can't think of any. What I know is that it should be more complicated, so the guys that make 1-word-reviews won't bother to do it.
