Unfinished, far as I'm concerned

With the hype and production values as high as they are, I don't understand why you cut the game off so suddenly like you did--especially if this is the last installment. Nothing has been resolved. Nothing has really been explained. The game stopped just as the basic plot was being filled in.

What was Dr. Raymond Burr working on?
What happened to Mary Ann?
How does the Wabberjack (or whatever) from AID2 fit into this? If it's such a big part of the story, why was I just killed by a homo-gangster at the end?
(was the tape given by Rulio REALLY the last tape?)

Without nit-picking over the details (like the 1-D stereotype that is White "Whatever" Rabbit and how the Brain medal isn't working yet), I can say this game has fallen well-below expectations, and any 10s you receive are based off the visual and sound quality alone.

...

BTW, that song performance was amazing. Please give my regards to Hania. Where you guys crapped-out half-way, she really put in all she's worth--and she's the gold standard.

ImpendingRiot responds:

1. What was Dr. Raymond Burr working on - If you read about Oystercloud in 2, and then listened to the tapes in 3, it should be kind of obvious.

2. That isn't the Jabberwocky. Again, listen to the tapes.

3. Because that is the life style that criminal rabbits lead.

I don't think we crapped out half-way at all.

Heh-heh!

Man, that was funny. A little slow, and kind of a button-masher, but I had a good time. FYI, though, "socialist" drugs are only cheap by their market price. The rest of the butt-load of cash required to sustain the system is levied onto taxes.

Again, FYI.

Exactly why it's so appealing to the American Mr Timberwoller. He just loves you for your goodies.

Boring.

It looked pretty and sounded thrilling, but it was also extremely repetitive and lacked any incentive to play past the first few levels. In every level I played, all I did was hack 'n slash a wave of toe-tag demons, zombies, etc. At the end of every level, I gained experience points to improve my sword attack and imaginary shield-block so I could do the exact same thing better in the next level.

It's like potato chips: Sure, they're kind of tasty [attention-holding] and all that, but they're really not much different from any other brand of potato chips [defense game] you've tasted before. And the whole time you're eating potato chips, you're wondering if it's really worth all the fat [time] your consuming while wishing they had more flavor [BBQ--I mean variety].

Godlimations responds:

omgosh your so funny! Your comment is also like a potato chip. The longer I read it, the more stale it gets. rofl!! Then comes the after taste [my response]

good

good. I think I was able to "cheat" on a few levels, though.

AethosGames responds:

relizing the machanics of the game early isn;t cheating. ;)

boring and unoriginal

Well, I'm sure this wasn't easy to make, so that's why you have any points at all. The controls are lousy. The character turns too slowly and she never seems to shoot in the right spot (but interacting with switches works fine, even if the animation doesn't match). The enemies look like low-poly Predator models and the hands of the woman in the first scene are hideous. I know your poly count is limited, being a 3d modeler myself, but you could have done better (and been more original). The dialog in that sequence is awful. Pleading with a grunt to "save the planet"? That just sounds ridiculous, like from a Captain Planet re-run.

Which brings me to the plot itself. Do you know what a "stock character" is? According to dictionary.com, a stock character is "a character in literature, theater, or film of a type quickly recognized and accepted by the reader or viewer and requiring no development by the writer."

The most common stock villains in America today are businessmen. Common stock heroes are journalists, environmentalists, and 'peace' advocates/ protesters (I'm not really sure of the order of prominence at this time). Robin Hood types are also making a comeback.

I must admit, it was pretty original to make the protagonist a lesbian, but the evil energy company thing is just way too overdone to interest me. These kinds of stories also put me off because it seems that the companies that hold up the weight of the world are being unfairly vilified. Granted, this is a Sci Fi thing and you probably weren't even considering big business in general when you made this, but it all seems to follow the same premises:

Businessmen want to control society.
All big businesses cheat and exploit their workers and customers.
Competition is cruel.
Big businesses=bad, small business=good (until they make too much money).
Money is the root of all evil.

I'll spare you any speeches on the moral and economic justification for laissez faire, but I will tell you that nothing big business (even energy compaies) have done justifies the image they have today in the media.

Bottom line: The story is unoriginal, the models look bad (and unoriginal), and the controls are awful.

Would you rather I just said "this is awful" and gave you a zero? At least now, if you want to tell me off, you be more detailed than " * you!".

Okay, I'm done.

popopt responds:

Webchameleon, so much feedback -well, thanks for being so thorough and for taking the time to write all this down:) Yes, i agree that the 'evil corporation' is a simplistic meme. With all the work it took to come to grips with the 3d, the storytelling suffered, but I wanted to make the point that I believe that powerful groups or people need to use their power with compassion, tolerance, and responsibility. (well, they dont HAVE to but i think its good if they do). For sure not all corporations are evil, they are made of people. But when people do evil (for lack of a better term) things in groups, they affect the world more than when they do it alone9for the most part), which is in part i guess why corporations make an easy target. Ill be sure to infuse more subtlety and originality into the next story thread and thanks for keeping me on my toes:) and its true, the chemicops DO look like predator dont they? LOL

That was fun

That was a great concept. Reminded me a little of Earth Worm Jim. This may actually be better. The boss did kind of suck, but it was challenging.

Make another!!!

molkman responds:

Yea, the boss is silly, I got bored with the project at that time.

My critique

Only pussies execute people from behind.

The sword should have been more like the videos, where the terrorist saws the person's head off, not chops.

Icemonkeyjr responds:

wtf are you on dude?

That was...

Awful. The humor was awful, the drawing was awful, etc. Also, "What the fuck" is an overused and increasingly annoying phrase.

Gerkinman responds:

Sorry you feel that way.

Hard

I didn't click on a purple square!

and CGUE:

Juden sind groß
Gewerkschaftler sind verdorben
Kommunisten saugen

World-Amazing-Games responds:

is that german ? cant understand

Boring

The dialog just went on and on without going anywhere. I quit after 4 or 5 minutes.

burningice579 responds:

Sorry if this game wasn't your cup of tea, but thanks for playin anyway ^^
