Frase's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Territory WAR Online]

...

Well executed, but I don't see how anyone can give a high score to something which is more-or-less just a replica of worms. This was only backed up by the fact I got bored very quickly, since I've played worms hundreds of times.

It's beyond me as to how you bothered to make this, you must have absolutely no creativity or passion or anything. I'm not obsessed with originality, but this is a joke. Make something new ffs.

Afro-Ninja responds:

It's a free and easily accessible version of worms, is that really so odd?

[Mecha Dress Up Game]

Jokes.

Good visuals yes, but at the end of the day it's just another dress up game, which was an awful concept in the first place. There is absolutely no way this deserves a score of 4.0+, there are simply far more detailed, far less empty, far more unique submissions out there.

I'm amazed this dress up genre is still getting high votes, I got bored of it years ago.

matt-likes-swords responds:

I'm amazed you're still playing dress up games then..

[P.A.R.G.]

...

Great visuals, but incredably unoriginal.
Main problem though is that it's so damn boring...
Try thinking up better concepts, no way does something like this deserve almost 4.0

portlandmarketing responds:

This is a standard "defense" game so of course it's not entirely original... what is original about it is the environment/artwork. And as for boring... play a little longer, it gets a lot more intense... just gradually.

[The Really Hard Quiz 2]

lol

"I gave the 1st one a 0 as well/ glad to hear it got blamed/ looking forward to blaming the 3rd" rofl sorry but that made me piss myself.

But ye uhh in all seriousness, it's a very weird submission. At first I thought they all made no sense, then I got the infinity-on-high fallout boy thing and I started to wonder about the others.

Couldn't really see the logic in the others though, were they as clever? I got to the one after the moving blue bars, and gave up after about 7 tries.

It's good that it's hard, but the questions need to be possible without using trial & error. You don't have to make them easier, you just need to make them somewhat more logical. The FoB one was an example of a good question.

Insanimation responds:

most of the multiple choice, blue boxes as answers questions had some form of logic..except the first one....there was a jackson pollock reference, the 3rd is an anagram one, a few keyboard ones...mighty boosh reference.......it has logic...albeit obscure...

[Zombie Survival Quiz]

What?

It worries me just how seriously people have taken this.
It also annoys me that this has such a high score, when there are at least 1000 better submissions below it.

secv responds:

I'm sorry.

I'll make something even worse next time. That way people won't like it. :p

[Sonny]

Right.

I'd go as far to say that games like these are flawed in the sense that the gameplay is... inexistant. You have all the wonders of allowing the user total control over a player with the keyboard, yet you let them "choose what move to do" from a list. It's a joke, I've never understood how people manage to find it entertaining, surely only a child who enjoyed watching the attack animation would be interested.
Apart from that the sound was brilliant and it was all excellently executed, I just can't believe you went for the easy option for combat. Just because other RPGs adapt this shit idea doesn't mean you have to follow, games like this don't really exist on the market anymore because it's just so damn simple, boring, and tbh... can be played by retards.

You are skilled, and you may just like this genre, but I don't see why you could like something so disgustingly easy. This is effectively an electron board game, please make the next one a video game.

Krinn responds:

You need to get a bit more into it, the 'chose your move from a list' becomes more complicated later on. It soon becomes a game of mathematical strategy, rather than stat pumping like most other RPGs.

But you are right, why would I make such a mundane looking system when the player can use the entire keyboard?

The answer is, this is a small step towards an MMORPG in Flash, and basically, the technology of it depends on a turn based system to run smoothly. So basically 'turn base' is a premise we have to work with, and cannot change. We've done the best we can to make it exciting, and more improvements are set to come in later versions.

So give it another chance and tell me what you think.. As I've always said to people with a similar complaints as yours... Make it into Zone 3 :P It really starts to escalate from there.

[Orange Guy]

hehe

the orange guy looked cool and i liked the way it was named after him. it's cool that your starting with simple platform based games but later when you're better i think you should move on to bigger stuff, then you will be hitting the high scores. good luck...

kpavery responds:

Thanks for the advice!

[The Marble Game]

Yey

since i was slightly pissed, playing from a distance and my eyes hurt i was gonna say that it was far too easy. Then at like 160k a very fast complicated long one came up and I lost everything lol. Nice scripting.

Aprime responds:

thanks, lol, i aways bet every thing, , add me to favs, add my email

[Newbs NG Site Tutorial]

Right...

It's been done before, it's been done better and I'm willing to bet you've seen other tutorials like this. Once it's off the 'most recent flashes' (if it survives) no new guy is gonna be able to find it. Why did you make it again?

1Dizmal1 responds:

i made it becuase i have alot of free time on my hands...

[HighFlash: Stoned Games]

mmmmm

not really tha kinda thin i would make when im wasted. bein a waster gets tiring... but then mayB i've moved on. Cypris Hill was good and so was the title music, not too sure bout much else.

HighFlash responds:

Betchya also done fucked yer sister din'ya? Hahaha, just fuckin wit ya. Thanks for the review.
