LucidDREAMS's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kitchen Wars: The Movie]

heh

Always funny to see toys beating the shit outta each other

Jurassic-Joe responds:

I agree... It's funny because they do what I make them do...Hah.

[Trance Pulsation 2]

How can you say...

...for all trancers? Basically all you have done is attepted to make a music video of random shite and then slapped a really neat tune of the top, promoting your name aswell? pretty lame I think. I love trance/hardhouse but that doesnt mean I'm gonna rate this good cos you put 1/4 of a decent chune in your flash... rethink and reanimate

PuLSeR responds:

Thanks for your review ..as for the promoting thing i just love my nickname. and i didn't attemp to make a music video just nice motions and put some nice matching music in it. and why i say for all trancers is because i don't want people to vote 0 just because they hate the music..

[Alone]

BRILLIANT!

I love it I love it I love it, its about time that newgrounds gets an expertly good anime, You should DEFINATLY make this into a series. I thought that your flash has to be the saddest one I've ever seen, the poor bastard *sniffle* I feel really sorry for him.

Of course now your gonna have to explain exactly what happened to his girl, and how he could have saved her.
BLOODY BRILLIANT!

ZellsBells responds:

Thanks!
There -are- a lot of gaps in the story.. thankfully the person who wrote the tale is sitting across the room so I can fill them in for you. ^_^
Apparently, the girl is really a cyborg, so, Amichi's psionic healing powers were useless to help her. For the same of time and effort we cut some of this out.

The series we're thinking about is going to be from a totally different plot line in the character's life. Mcuh more concrete story, less sap, and more action! WoOt!

[The Pale Wolf - Episode 1]

Vampires eh?

Ok, first thing off, man that was boring! The voice acting was bollocks if ya pardon my australian, and sometimes I couldnt even hear what was being said. Secondly, what the f**k was all that about??? If the guy is going to see the Prince he must have a really good reason, and a Ventrue wouldnt be seen on the dancefloor, he'd have an office with more than one guard and a lot of flashy stuff surrounding him. You have to explain a lot more in the intro so we understand what is going on... I take it your not a very good Story teller on VTM:R! I want to compliment you on the graphics though, they were very good. How about adding more twists when you start the next episode, and maybe explain the story to us a little more and make the decisions at least a bit of a challenge instead of just random decisions, this would probably pass of as an age 3+ click and play game, and even kids that age would recognise bad voice acting when they heard it.
Ok I'm not saying that you should do this, its just an opinion or suggestion... whatever.
Tell us more about the main character, eg. in the next episode give us a 2min monologue about why he's in Australia, and what hes looking for. secondly, people that have played VTM:R will just laugh at this, because the only thing that proves to us that it has anything to do with the game, is the green nosferatu dude in the club and the names of several clans (personally I always liked Giovanni - they were so cool, but nevermind). On the whole, this was very boring, try to spice it up a little by adding more action scenes and get some ppl to volunteer for the voice acting (email me if you need an extra, I'd be happy to help a fellow vamp lover) and a good idea would be to add a sexy female character, try and add something to make a male character more appealing for the female audience, a deep sexy voice and a rugged, but stylish appearance usually does it, so maybe introducing a good guy with these qualities could brighten it up - maybe an old friend of your main character? who knows.
Like I said, these are all suggestions so you dont have to listen to me going on and on, but if you like what I'm onto send me an email and I can suggest a little more.
PEACE

reconspy responds:

Hi LucidDREAMS,

First off, thanks for your critisicm, I appreciate it. Now, let's get down to it.

Your points are all valid, _IF_, my flash was about the 'computer game' VTM:R. However, it is not. It is about the pen and paper RPG which the 'computer game' was based on.

1) The "guy" _MUST_ see the prince because he has arrived in the city. In the proper RPG, one must announce thyself to prince when entering her city. It is an unspoken tradition. (I did mention that in the movie with those little (!) buttons, but nevermind)

2) The "Ventrue prince" is not on the dance floor, he is in fact in a secured secret area within the club. I apologise for not making that clear. He is in fact in a place called "Elysium". Elysium is a name for a place where all vampires (of the Camarilla faction) may congregate safely. It is, in all intensive purposes, "neutral ground". "Disciplines" or vampiric powers are not allowed in Elysium and so, the prince need not feel threatened.

But thanks for your commments, and yes I know the voice acting is poor (even my friends said so :D). My friends are voice acting in the second episode, but even then remember that this is, after all, only an amateurish production.

Cheers. :D

[Cold Steel: Prisoner]

hmmm - a few pointers maybe

ok, trailers are fine....but
#1 reveal a little bit about the story, if you have one
#2 make them exciting - this was confusing (why the hell was that trainer with tiny guns flying)
#3 use a soundtrack according to the theme
#4 needs to be a bit longer maybe - and eyecatching
#5 Have you actually thought up a storyline yet?

Hope these pointers help, sure the thing could be a good flash, just take time to think a story that works and that sells

extraTURNIPSx responds:

Thanks for the feedback...

I have a story planned out, its good, but I can't tell you just yet (someone might steal it)

That "Trainer" was a space guard drone (as I call them) they make sure no-one escapes the detention center (as I call it)

You may have noticed that the building at the end looked quite alien, well...it is. That really all I can be bothered to write right now.

Thanks
