whats the deal
I dont understand how this can be at 4.2? its not terrible, but come on, the graphics look like it was done in a day, I feel like I've seen a hundred animation just like this on newgrounds, I've only played 2 of the MGS games, so I guess I dont get every single joke. But for me, I found this very unenjoyable.
Since I'm the only one who can reply I guess I'll answer you.
The graphics were purposely bad as you can see from certain parts where they're exaggeratedly bad and parts where they're actually decent. I always considered Newgrounds a place where graphics don't really matter very much since submissions like Dad's Home, which features really sketchy super simple art, can make 2nd Place.
I tried to use the lack of graphical quality to my advantage by making jokes out of simply the way things are drawn. If I had drawn the entire movie like Ghost in the Shell, I think it would have lost a lot of its charm in the process.
And I'm not gunna lie, given the optimal circumstances, I probably could've finished this in 2 or 3 days. But it's if it's funny that counts, right? =D
Well...
All I can say is that people have strange tastes. I've been baffled by Newgrounds users' decisions before, but never so much as now. For this flash to get such a high score must either mean that
A) it's funny even to people who haven't played MGS, or
B) most people have played MGS
I've never played MGS, and I can't for the life of me see how A) can be true because the humour seems to require a familiarity with the game. A lot of the humour is also somewhat crude. As for B), I never thought that Metal Gear Solid was THAT popular. Seriously, a 4.45/5.00 batting average and a 9.40/10 review average are simply astonishing. Congratulations, I suppose - I have no idea how so many people find this appealing but you deserve credit for making something that nearly everyone (except me) seems to enjoy.
To anyone reading this review - watch the flash, you'll probably love it. I'm honestly baffled as to WHY you would, though... I guess it's just one of the mysteries of the universe.
I dunno, really. I didn't really intend for this movie to do that well, people just suggested I submit it for the hell of it.
I just made something that made ME laugh, so in turn I guess it makes a lot of other people laugh too. I didn't gratuitously reach for laughter or something, I tried to make things that I think are actually funny and that I laughed at being played back.
I mean, that'd be my best guess as to why it got so big. I didn't create it for the sake of getting a high score or getting daily newgrounds.. whatever score, I created it to be funny.
And you can't please everyone I guess... lol I'm sorry you didn't like it. I figure, you know, even if something's stupid, the people who like it are better off 'cause heay, you know, it's just one more thing to like and to be entertained by.
Hm....
I didn't really like it much, If this is stuff in a nutshell, I odn't want to see anymore, though i think since it's in a nutshell, and really fast, you should make the graphics better, and actually give us time to read the writing. But oh well. I s'posed it could just be me who don't like it. So, for all the people who do like it, keep it up!
This crap needs to end.
It is this kind of shitty ass animation with little to no humor whatsoever that degrades the flash community as a whole.
OMG, Awesome <~~ what sums up this animation in everyway.
