"Lacked direction and missed alot of obvious jokes"
date: July 17, 2006
First, the graphics were pretty bad. Could be alot better drawn and there were some nasty glitches like when he shot Eddie and his arm kind of stuck out at the elbow.
As for humour, I didn't like the black sterotyping of the character. It could have been funny if you'd made it more ironic and less reflective of how racists actually view black people. You also didn't have much in the way of jokes outside of anal sex jokes so WHY DID YOU NOT HAVE PYRAMID HEAD THEN? If you were going to use sex jokes, you should have definately had something with Pyramid Head doing his own brand of anal sexing, that is definately a missed opportunity. Also, most of the monsters in that game are sexualised anyway, but you didn't include any. If you'd used Silent Hill's 2 pre existing sexual themes alongside the dirty humour, you'd have got a couple more points on humour, but using Angela and Eddie was context-less and unfunny. Still, you made an effort to make a proper flash and didn't resort to any of the usual shit that makes up newgrounds flashes, (except toilet humour), so you get bonus points for trying : )
Author's Response:
Wow. A well thought out review. These come by pretty rare on Newgrounds.
To address the sterotyping of the character, it really wasn't meant to a parody of James from SH2. The whole idea was to see what John Totty (created by the real life John Totty) would do if he was thrown into the game of Silent Hill 2. So, naturally, the character wasn't meant to act like James, but instead act as himself (hence all the anal raping).
As for the rest of your criticism, the flash itself never was thought out too well in the first place, and was actually a rush job on my part. Nowadays, I would of put a lot more in and you would of gotten your parody of some of the monsters, but at the time of making the flash, I just wasn't as into it as I thought I would be, so instead you get schlock like this.
I'm sorry it wasn't any better.
If you want to see one of my flash movies that's much much worse in terms of content, check out "Passion of the Christians". That piece of crap even made it on the front page of NG, if you can believe that.
