Poll: Game Dogs Poll: Are you still watching it?

[Calatar]

You think criticism is an insult. Your opinion is invalid.

ad hominem. Also opinions are never inherently "invalid." Maybe unsupported by a valid argument, but an opinion is not an argument.

Criticism is helping this show more than you fucking about saying criticism is an insult does.

Criticism helps the creators improve on the concept. Saying that the show is not funny will alert the producer that the comedy show he's producing is genuinely disliked due to it not being humorous. This will make the producer force the writers to do a better job or replace them completely.

Meanwhile, saying that the show is furry will force the producer to do what? Scrap the whole thing?
Still criticism, but not constructive at all. Criticism isn't inherently "good" nor is it inherently "bad," but if you view it as a useful tool for improvement, phrasing it less offensively would make your criticism more likely to be taken into consideration.

There does exist non-constructive criticism for the sake of insult. As well as constructive criticism that is still insulting. Determining the difference between the two is not always clear. Treating somebody like an idiot because they are misinterpreting one as the other is offensive.

I've stopped, the little shred of improvement died sadly.

 

[Contun]

'Meh' would descibe my opinion of it... It hasn't made me chuckle yet, but seeing as I couldn't do much better, I'm not going to start critisizing it..

I like Doraleous and Associates though, it's pretty pro...

I agree. Constructive criticism on the other hand...


The rest of your post deals with not being offensive which I agree with.

 

[Daveman]

Nope. And proud of it. The concept was sound, but the humor has been done before, and the voice acting, it just doesn't seem that good.

On a related note, I also hate Doraleus and Associates. That wasn't really that good, it was like watching a lot of high pitched people on drugs have a conversation about Clichés.

That actually sounds hilarious. I like it.

 

[busterkeatonrules]

I like it. The first episode was just funny enough to make me want to watch the next one, and they have been steadily improving since. I realize that it's not award-winning material, at least not yet, but it's engaging, character-driven comedy with well-written dialogue - and I don't have to pay for it. What more could anyone ask?

 

[Batfred]

Only because work is so quiet at the moment on a Friday morning.

 

[Casual Shinji]

The only shows I watch on this site are, ZP, Moviebob and the occasional review.

That's it.

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

Im giving it a chance.
I decided to give Trigun a chance, I decided to give Steam a chance, and I decided to give skiing a chance. I gotta say, I like all those things.

 

[Chipperz]

It's not like they are paying for it, or even being forced to watch it so the comments are not necessary and if anything are just a pointless insult to someone who had put effort into creating something.

You think criticism is an insult. Your opinion is invalid.

Criticism without any kind of constructive comments is just criticism for the sake of criticism, which is just as bad as an insult. I have yet to see anyone who harps on about how much they hate Game Dogs say anything other than "it's not funny". Without backing this up with examples or suggestions (and no, "cancel it" isn't a suggestion), it's just pointless criticism.

For what it's worth, I don't watch Apocalypse Lane or Rebecca Mayes Muses. I've tried a few times and felt it wasn't for me. I therefore stopped watching and didn't ***** about the fact the series was still on because I wasn't forced to watch it. Let's face it, the way people ***** about Game Dogs, you'd think this site had a magical compulsion that forced people to click every link in front of them...

But a lot of people say that the show is not funny. The criticism of an entire community matters giving that they're the ones watching the show.

"It's not funny" implies that the show is not funny and the suggestion is pretty obvious: "step up the humor".

You don't see almost the entire community of The Escapist criticize Apocalypse Lane or Mayes Muses (Well, the latter divides the community really).

Let's face it, the way people ***** about Game Dogs, you'd think this site had a magical compulsion that forced people to click every link in front of them...

And we should not in any way criticize this show because?

 

[maddawg IAJI]

I stopped watching it after the pilot. It wasen't that funny to me, but I'm sure that a few people are still watching it.

 

[reg42]

No. Watched it for about 3 minutes, then went back to listening to Lamb of God.

 

[Loop Stricken]

Honestly, I only watch it in the hopes that badges for watching will be attributed.

Because until you provide something resembling constructive feedback, all you're doing is pointlessly whinging that other people like something you don't.

"Step up the humour" is a meaningless statement. Would you rather they copy and pasted the script of The Office (British not American, of course)? Could they do with a few fart jokes? Do you feel it could do with better characterisation, so they could derive humour from the interactions?

So far, all I've seen is "We don't like Game Dogs! Waaah!", which is getting almost as pathetic as the Twilight, Halo and Modern Warfare 2 drivel. If you were forced to watch it, then you could be forgiven for complaining, if you sat down and actually wrote some ideas for how it can be improved, your complaining wouldn't be pointless, but just following the crowd and complaining about something that doesn't affect you is, frankly, terrifying levels of hypocrisy when it comes from a community that keeps going on about how much people who get caught up in a group mentality are stupid.

Correction: "We don't like Game Dogs because it's not funny due to improperly timed jokes, the awkward placement of the jokes and the awkwardness of the jokes themselves which in turn makes an entire show focused on comedy particularly boring and not funny at all."

That better?

 

[Twilight_guy]

I'm thinking about leaving it but I haven't decided yet (It's looking bad though).

 

[Mirrored Jigsaw]

I'm still watching, but not because I'm liking it. It's only about four minutes a week. Might as well continue tuning in to see if it gets any better.

 

[RanD00M]

I am proud to say that I enjoy Game Dogs.And I will keep on watching it until the end.
