BE MORE CRITICAL NEWGROUNDS!

Posted by Lalo - June 9th, 2008


Also, i like to type my titles with big caps :)

so yea. Many people have been noticing this trend and there have been many problems because of it. I get very pissed off when i see a review with a big ass 10 and a five-word text it in. specially when the submission has like 3 - 4 ish score. like, i know the reviewer liked the submission a lot but COME ON you cant just go and give 10s to flashes that give you a chucke. thats what adding a flash to your favourites is for!

heres an example (NOTE: im not against this kind of flashes or anything, i actually like them a lot, and have a couple of the in my FAVORITES, but i dont just go and 10 it right away, i havent given a 10 in like YEARS!)

Submission: More Brawl Taunts
Dude. Do a third one. I'll give you a BJ, Just do it, man. -10

ok, brawl taunts is a good flash, it was funny, but you cant just compare the effort and QUALITY of this one to, say, There she is or Deep Sexy Space... so im not against quick VG spoofs or anything, also, im not against these movies getting alot of votes and views. im against people giving these movies undeserving scores and stupid reviews! Im AWARE this is VERY old, it was kinda ok since these kind of reviews were less common, but now people give them high votes too. these votes are how the submissions' worth is measured. and you KNOW its not ok to go and vote high on undeserving stuff...

I repeat, i have NOTHING against any kind of flash mentioned. Its just that this trend makes people like me feel like its not worth submitting good stuff anymore if its going to be obscured by a random funny flash, not only VIEWS-wise but SCORE-wise too now! >:C

oh also, my birthday's on july third so go get some sexy presents.

I agree, the standard is set too low now.
Movies are getting over 4s that would have gotten around 3.5 if they had been submitted a few years ago.

and these new overrated movies just keep pushing the good old ones down the list. new people wont see the good old stuff anymore :C that makes me sad.

or it's like TomFulp leaving a great review and getting the "insanely well received" text on the bottom when let's say I say the same great review and get "useless" for not being as important. Like if I submit a cheap flash that makes you chuckle (BTW, Brawl Taunts is boring and horribly made, OPINION) compared to Watterlollies.

Also, if you submit a 5 paragraph essay for a flash movie, but people don't agree with you, your reviw is received badly and counted as "useless".

i want to change that. dont you?

"DUDE THIS WAS GRATE 10"

"DUDE THIS SUKED U R GAY 0"

and thats the majority of the reviews anyone ever gets.

you know, there should be some kind of comments thing on submissions, where you post as much as you want or something, and then people would use the review section for an ACTUAL review... that might help... a bit.

Im VERY extreme...you either get a 0 or a 5...a 0 or a 10...very rarely do i give out 2-9/4

thats not good >:C

^^ that's what we're trying to prevent.

I agree, but don't you love it when people give you Fat 10s on your animation?

NO! id rather get a crappy score with ctiriques so i can know where to improve :C

I'd rather get a 0 with a good review than a 10 with some retarded fucking shout out about how great, or funny, or (UGH FUCK) random it was.

On NG, a score is completely meaningless because the highest scoring things are absolute shite half the time.

I agree that a comment box system is a good idea.

spread the word :)

EVERYTING ON DIS SITE IS SO GUD THO LIK TEH AWESUM SERYS BUT LOTS OF TINGS SUK FOR REEL DONT WANT TO HURT FELINGS BUT DATS DA WAY IT IZ FDFDJF ADDITIONALLY I SUCK DICK

also lol@djnet

lmao!

@Griffin:

I submitted a game on my other account and some people gave me 10s just for it being my first game. I like 10's and stuff, but I want people to be honest with my flashes and give them good scores they deserve and give constructive criticism, not like:

"GOOD" 10
"FUNNY" 10

I want something like:

"Good, needs more music though" 7
"Awesome, the lighting was great, keep it up" 10

exactly! even if giving a 10 is a bit extreme, its definitely ok if the reviewer gives a good review :)

I agree completely.

Also, what would you like for your birthday?

a new sig or something :)

My birthday is July 2nd. Wow, I'm one day older than you.

Don't worry, my only motivation for having an absurd voting power is equalizing some of the fanboy spillover :P

well that helps a bit

Score > Constructive Criticism
Yep, I rarely see 5,6's, 7's, and a lot of people vote 0 or 5 instead of anything in between.

I agree totally. Actually I was gonna make a cartoon called "more piece of SHIT parodies about brawl taunts". it was gonna be a satire about that piece of shit flash.
unfortunatelly I had to leave that project because my voice acting was horrible. and I dont have the english accent.

all the thing sthat I hated about that movie:

NO BACKGROUND
PIECE OF SHIT LIPSINCH
USED JOKES
BALLZ, COCK AND DICK USED AS FUNNY WORDS (if i was a 10 year old i would laugh at it. but its still a cheap joke).

Im gald to see that not everyone on this site needs a brain surgery. damn. I LOVE YOU SIR.

by the way. as a sexy birthday present here are some HAWT pictures of me

i shouldnt had clicked that with all these cousins at my back :C

why, they all got hard ons or something? : D

fortunately they werent looking :) so no

I agree with you, far too many times have I seen a mediocre flash get reviews like Awesome flash :10 or that That was shit: 0 although I admit I am guilty of throwing out an undeserved 10 and maybe even 0's although I always give a decent reason for a 0, since they deserve at least that much.

The only practical thing I think might possibly decrease the five or zero voting is not showing the score until you vote. I five or zero, but review with care. A comment system apart from a review system would be interesting.

: O thats a good idea, like only showing the score once you vote for the first time in the submission.. and only show the score bar once you have opened the submission : D

I agree with you, but I also think that people are intitled to their opinion and should be allowed to vote how they please.

people are supossed to vote fairly. cmon they cant just go and vote 0 on good shit or vote 5 on bad shit >:C. i should go to sleep now.

personally, im trying to add old videos that are actually good to my site, im also kind of upset what gets put on the front page now, some stuff can stay there for like 3 weeks even though it might not be that good, i mean deep sexy space is good, but after a week and a half, we've all seen it and want something new. i like the old videos on newgrounds better, now just too many ppl who spam good ratings or bad ratings, and occasionally ull get someone who actually tells the maker how to improve, and all the ppl who liked the game/video will rate the review bad because it doesent give a 10 -.-

You can't beat the system.

we can CHANGE it :)
