Reviews for "8-Bit Theater Part 5"

Well....

You would have gotten higher points for interactivity, but you've been cheap this time. Usually there's a bunch of special features and bloopers and stuff, but you just had the feature today, so ho-hum. It's good, but seems kindaa pointless right now (every episode has had less and less to do with a story and just jokes), but hey. You aren't trying for Best Picture (I don't think) so it's fine.

Still entertaining. Thumb up.

Better in some areas...

This is an improvement over the last one in a fair few areas (the only real redeemer of the last one being the intro) but it still feels somewhat forced.

Graphically it's an improvement, not many can deny that (well, as good as you'll get with 8 bit sprites anyway) and the use of effects added a bit more, but some of the voice work still feels forced. Ohmadon (sp?) in particular was the most noticeable. I didn't really feel as if I could hear someone struggling in anger to attack. I don't know what VAs do for practise, but maybe if he did a few lines before actually moving to the acting itself it might improve.

A lack of background music took away from it a bit too. If you compressed it enough, a short loop of the town music could fit in with no problem. I'm not sure if that's what brings the filesize up so drastically or what, but I'd hazard a guess it might be. Then again, what with the comic itself being extremely dialogue-heavy it'd account for a lot of audio files being in there.

The ending felt somewhat rushed too. Sort of seemed like the author was getting bored and decided to cut it short or something, I dunno. The extra scene and easter egg were OK, but the credits just felt tagged on at the end to quickly wrap it up. I found some of the outtakes in the earlier ones fairly amusing.

Overall it improved in some aspects but still has a way to go. Props for the nice effects (the White Mage destroying Black Mage scene in part 4, one of my favourite scenes, was poorly rendered in my opinion; this one sort of makes up for that) and for keeping the filesize below 5MB this time though.

Seen that...

Misteroo did a better job :)

:(

i was disapointed, it wasn't nearly as good as the rest:(

Nice but a dissapointment

Hey it was good it took forever to come out but yah it was good. I was somwhat dissapointed since it didnt flow well with the comic but I like the effort you put into it.

P.S. to all you dumbasses who think this is a rip off it really isnt go read the comics... Fucking noobs.
