I think I'm going to go ahead and leave some criticism, as well. Much like your mass driver ragdoll video, this feels a lot like a killpad compilation. Three minutes in and nearly all of your headshots have been attributed to the heavy machine gun, meaning almost none of them have been skill shots. It's all been accidental or lucky head kills, which I guess can get a chuckle occasionally but when it's an entire five minute video? Ehh...
What made this, and also your ragdoll video, feel less like their intended purpose and more like killpad compilation is that there isn't any actual focus on the stated content. In your ragdoll video there weren't many funny shots of people being sent flying or even being knocked to the ground in awkward positions (although that first kill at the beginning where he slid through the gate when he landed was pretty good. Goooooaaaaal!). Instead the ragdoll video had just a bunch of mass driver kills, a small few of which were out of shot and entirely unseen when the clip ended. In this, there are very few clips where you get a good headshot in, but instead there are very many where you get one headshot in and then kill another guy normally, and another guy, and another guy... It lingers well past the actual headshot and so there isn't any focus on the headshots, and instead it feels more like 'hey, look at all these people I'm killing', which isn't as entertaining. At least to me.
Another criticism I have is, although I've only seen two of your videos, both times you've said 'I'm saving the best for later'. Why later? Why give us the not as good (Not necessarily bad, just not as good) content when you've apparently got better stashed away? Or why not mix in some of the best shots with the more subpar ones if you want to make two videos, so that there's really good content in both? If you give just the lesser quality and say you've got better, people will still judge your future content, or maybe not even bother with it at all, based on the not as good stuff.
As for the intro cinematic, that's actually mostly fine, but it is just a little too long. You could probably do with cutting it down to 14 or 15 seconds, rather than 17. Two or three seconds after the dominoes fade to form the square. I think it's actually really good except for the awkward ending length. |
