This topic is for the purpose of discussing #2845: adelikat's SGB Crayon Shin-chan 4: Ora no Itazura Daihenshin in 07:15.82

While the run seems well performed, I found the game to be pretty boring. Voting meh.

Allow me to express my thoughts with an IRC quote: [23:00] <Sonikkustar> adelikat, I can summarize the movie in a few words. [23:01] <Sonikkustar> "walking, spazzy flying, more walking, the end" No Vote. Its just too boring for me.

Agreed with the above. It's a generic platformer that is fastest-played when you fly over everything. The design's a bit kooky but that doesn't make it entertaining. Voting meh.

Voting meh. The game was dull half way through level 1.

I actually quite like the look and sound of the game, but Shin-chan just moves entirely too slow for a TAS to seem all that interesting. And the flying sound effect is too loud and repetitive. There were some parts I liked but overall, as a TAS it just didn't entertain. Voting meh.

I'm not really sure what to say about this movie. I'm glad another person improved my movie, but I was a bit disappointed at some points in the run. In particular, you seem to have found a faster method of travelling which is 'to make as few jumps as possible' while I ran the game 'avoiding to be in mid-air at all costs'. When I TASed this game, I assumed that being in mid-air results in slower speed but apparently I was wrong. Unfortunately, this results in even less action as you fly across even more things. The boss battles could be heavily improved entertainment-wise in my opinion. Just compare your boss battles with mine and you'll see that I'm trying to use the waiting time and make interesting stunts, especially at the final boss. I'm really not sure what to vote.

Link to video It was a quick run... but not really stimulating. Optimized but boring.

Voting meh, I also think this is a poor choice of game.

The sound of flying got agonizing after 10 seconds. Watched the rest of the run in silence, pretty much nothing interesting happened for almost 7 minutes, then the game ended. No vote, bad game choice.

If there was even one escaped lab monkey I would vote yes. Sadly, this is not the case. :(

Voted no. Played well but even being such a short TAS it couldn't keep my attention at all. Flying over levels might be faster but it's hardly entertaining in any way.

I found the run to be alright. It is a shame, though, how the increased flying makes the run faster (by making fewer jumps) but also makes the run more repetitive and obnoxious. I think it's a solid enough game for a Yes vote, but your mileage may vary.

Yes vote partly for the sake of being a completionist, but especially for the spasmodic flying animation!

Because I think it's always worth explaining no votes, no because it's just not that interesting to watch levels being flown over.

As far as a Game Boy game goes this is actually a very good looking game. Unfortunately, I ended up voting No and I feel that any no vote warrants an explanation. I agree with ais523 - the game itself looks fairly interesting but all we really see is a lot of flying. The boss fights are optimal but slow and uninteresting. A run that didn't use the flying ability would potentially be more entertaining. With all of the above said, if this were SMB the run likely would have gotten many yes votes from viewers for being absolutely optimal. I'm finding that my opinion of a run is biased heavily by my nostalgia of the game, for better or worse. Thanks for the submission, A.C. ******

Voted yes because I TASed this game before and it's nice to see other TASers take interest in it as well. I find this game entertaining because it's kinda what I imagined my TAS as when I first made it. Good job!

om, nom, nom... 'twas dry
