Weird
Lol whole thing littered in references. Mario, star fox, WoW, the replacements, phineas and ferb,shoop da whoop, and over 9000 but I wonder if the oo comes from james bond or cyborg 009. I like this series.
Reviews for "The New Suited (pilot)"
Just not that funny.
Suited makes me want to punch baby seals.
Great Graphics, Poor Dialogue
Wow. From the sidebar I knew I was gonna be in for something. Master-Samus, creator of the incredible Killing Spree series. A great artist and somewhat of an acquaintance PixelCake... Over 22 MB and Daily 3rd award... I thought to myself this has got to be good.
Let's see... A nerd finishing a video game... The graphics are pretty good, although the contrast could have been upped a bit. Both the tweening and frame-by-frame animation are good, although the quality seemed to fluctuate from around a 7/10 to a 10/10. The different artists show their distinct styles which was a nice touch and provided good variation. Good voice acting, although the storyline seems to progress slowly despite how quick some of the dialogue is.
The first real problem I noticed was in the humor. Nothing was radical enough to get me to laugh out loud until the "lucky hero gene" line. That was several minutes into the animation. While the storyline was fine, the dialogue itself wasn't that humorous. Much of the time I found myself only slightly amused by it. When Sarah dressed up as an elf, for instance, I found myself wincing rather than laughing, although I did enjoy the turn-based battle scene. I just didn't see anything THAT funny though. The concept was so ridiculous it couldn't have been a drama or action flick, yet nothing made this Flash very humorous. There are tons of video game facts that could have made this game funny... For instance, these video game facts I put in a thread a long time ago:
-You can have the same state of health as someone in a vegetative state, yet still be able to run, attack, and jump with the same performance as you could when you had full health.
-If you see your path blocked by a pit and there's a big tall rock hanging on the edge of the pit, just kill a bunch of enemies. The rock will soon fall over the pit, creating a perfectly stable bridge for you to cross over.
-People don't generally bother with putting grates over air vents; they make sure that the openings are big enough for an ottsel or any small mammal to fit through.
-If you're controlling a large party of people, nobody will ever have disagreements; just tell them what to do, and they'll follow your orders blindly.
-If a video game premise is 'Help <Insert Name Here>,' understand that you're not helping them with what they need to do; you're just doing the whole job for them, even if you have to look like them for a while.
-Even if you're walking on foot, you can still manage to carry dozens of swords, shields, and somehow inexplicably, cottages and tents.
-Although a corridor may appear empty, taking a few tentative steps can cause an explosion, and when the debris clears, you'll find yourself in full battle armor, surrounded by up to nine enemies that weren't there seconds before.
-Even though taking a single step can result in an enemy appearing from nowhere and attacking you, you can still pitch a tent without any danger of an enemy appearing. Furthermore, you'll be safe the entire night.
-An enemy such as a wolf, with little use of Gil, Gold, Credits, or Coins, will still carry enough of it for you to purchase a finely fashioned sword.
-Even if a creature is carrying a staff that can instantly kill you, they won't try to use it against you, even though you can kill them and use the staff yourself.
-Surprisingly once you have 999,999 Gil, even though monsters still carry more Gil, you are supernaturally unable to pick up any more.
Certain gags like that are what this Flash just begged for, yet it lacked any of the truthful humor about modern video gaming. The concept was good, the animation was fantastic, the voice acting was superb and the graphics were stylish, but the execution was somewhat poor. As a result, the finished project made the storyline turn out to be terribly bland. The graphical quality was still very good though, and for that I'm giving you guys an 8.
I found all the parodies
You made fun of: World of Warcraft.
Ok, pretty good.
This was not that bad. I enjoyed some parts and not so much with others. Sarah and E.R.I.C.'s voiceacting was fantastic. The other voiceacting I didn't care much for (except maybe for SWOOS (?)) But, I loved the internet references, some of the puns (some were corny, but some were cunning. HAHAHA.) My favorite was when they first met E.R.I.C.. "What's it's battery life?" British accents are freakin' awesome I have to say though. So, yeah, most of this is very enjoyable once you get past the whole, "trying to be too much like a show" (but that's just my opinion.) Oh, and that was a sexy elf. XD
