Player Comments on A Man to the Slaughter

It’s never impressive to read a story that has four sentences, then one link, then you end the game. It is nice to have different choices and options on the first page, but an ending that quickly, without any kind of warning is really just kind of pointless. At the very least (and I do mean least), you could have added a hint in that first four sentences to indicate that making the wrong choice here will lead to instant death. But if you’re that interested in ending the story, you might as well have put the End Game link on the first page so people can get their free point without even having to click a single link.

Later in the story, when it appears you actually have an option, there are two identical options (to run outside). Strangely enough, one of those options ends the game while the other does not! That really doesn’t make a lot of sense, either. But I suppose a story with genetically modified attacking cows isn’t really supposed to make sense.

Overall, this really isn’t a good story. Beyond the fact that there’s no story here, there are many punctuation errors, sentence fragments, and missing capital letters. I can’t really see why this story was written. On the other hand, the idea here could be worked into something much more effective, but that’s going to take quite a bit of work starting from what exists in this part of the story.

Very interesting...

The intial plot of the story is pretty strange. Apparantly a bunch of cows being cloned at a slaughterhouse facility turn on the Humans and wreck havoc. I haven't seen a single story here like it, so the originality is very fresh. However, it has its faults...

First of all, the grammar was a minor issue, minor yes, but still an issue. It wasn't as big as some of the other low-quality and/or not-famous works of this site, and it was as simple as the occasional forgetting to capitilaize, punctuation, etc.

Second of all, you could've worked the story out better. Its a very original piece to this site, nothing like a BerkaZerka "Surrvev teh zumbehz", or a Warrior Cats ripoff that you would occasionally see with the low stars (seriously though, what's with all the hype about Warrior Cats? There's like 10 of them here!). As for this one, we could've seen a more of an RPG-ish or Sandbox-ish storygameplay here, but it felt very limited as there weren't many destinations or items to use. Adding to this, the story could've been better written out and have more of a detailed texture.

Third of all, and this isn't much of anything, but I noticed towards the end, if/when you join up with the cows, there is a "death gimmick" which is "...but for now this is THE END." I noticed how you didn't do this for any of the other deaths previously. So, if you are going to add the "THE END" gimmick, it HAS to be for all deaths! Otherwise it'll give a less of an experience for the reader.

Tacking with this, is the fact of the random deaths. Seriously? If you join the SWAT, (as an example), this is death reason: "oh, you killed some cows, but some cows killed you. 1o1 skrub!" (not an actual quote.) Really? Since where/when did a bunch of random cows come up to me? Wasn't I already pwning them? How could they have killed me? The deaths in this game aren't really that explained. They can be kind of random. However, some of them are (sort of) realistic. For example, if you start and then proceed to run straightaway to the gates, you die. I guess this kind of makes sense considering you're bare-handed, but even if later you get a weapon and then run to the gates you STILL die?(!) ...Why?

As a little side-comment, is there anyway to beat this? I can't find an ending where you join up with the SWAT/Humans, its only with the cows and plus you die if you join them. It doesn't seem like you have much of a choice... or maybe there is a way to win, its just that I haven't been playing as much as I should be...

4/8.

the best game you will ever play

asaq

The premise of this game is basically a vegan revenge fantasy of cows murdering all the meat eaters and eating them. Why are cows eating me? they're herbivores they don't eat meat! Why am I given two options to commit suicide?

The deck is stacked against you and the only way I can see for you to survive is to join the cows that are trying to kill you even though you just mowed some of them down with a machine gun and threw grenades at them.

I know this story is supposed to be funny, but I'm mad that there isn't a path where I can go all John Wick on these stupid cows and destroy them. Instead, we're treated to a story with dumb item usage none of which work so they're useless.

I'm mad that I have to join the Chik Fil A mascots just to win and that the FBI can't kill some cows! Let me do something cool other than die to cows or join them, this game was not fun and it disappointed me. Original does not equal good.

i immedietly died first time oops

Well, an interesting story to be frank.

Perhaps the plot could be fleshed out a little, there are close to no backstory to why the cows are being slaughtered and why they revolted. I understand that this is plain to see, but stating this will 1. clear up any mistakes or errors in understanding, 2. give your story more substance. If a story like yours depends on the sole imagination of the Player, then it won't be fun.
All that being said, not a bad effort.

Haha very funny

There are so many mistakes in here. You really need to go back and proofread. The plot wasn’t great either, it was super boring, and didn’t make much sense at all.

I will keep this brief:
- Capitalize your sentences
- Use better grammar, such as on the first page when you used “their” you should have in fact used “they're”
- Spend more time on it

This was funny. I really enjoyed it because I got the ending where I joined the cows and killed the SWAT team.

Fricken nice bruh

YASS JOIN THE COWS!!!!!!!

"A PSP with a GTA: Liberty City Stories game.

You throw the PSP at the cows, and guess what, they kill you.

JUST KIDDING!

The cows start to play the PSP for a while. Eventually though, they start to find the game too frustrating, due to the fact cows have no thumbs. Then they realise the PSP has a Spiderman skin on it. Hating Toby Mcguire for what they believe to be awful acting in Seabiscuit, and being DC Comic fans themselves, the stamp their hooves on it and advance on you again, even angrier than before. You are forced to retreat back into the tower...

Who likes DC better than Marvel?! These cows are pretty freakin's stupid..."

Well, now that's interesting... ;)
I just wonder if there is any other choice besides killing myself or joining the cows?

lol, love the stupid options or joining the cows x3

stupidest thing i ever read

I joined the cows and killed the humans.

This storygame is plagued by lots of errors and spelling/grammar mistakes...but the thing is, it is STILL fun because of this crazy plot. It's awesome. Like Cows Ate My Neighbours or something.

It does need more but the concept is great.

great

Fun but it needs a little more backstory

Extremely short.

I feel it was a great story but it was way to short

MAKE IT LONGER PLS

The plot was odd, but i was ready to go for it. But then i make one choice and i'm dead. Heavily disappointed in it.

Action-packed, but poorly written, with no real plot.

"you shot the cows with a big beam of light and they grew hands and feet and their brains devileped intoa human brain and they start talking and then one see's you and kills you."

You mean the cows that had developed a strong enough sense of self to want to revolt against the farmers and started using tools, including firearms, didn't already have human-level intelligence?

Nice game. Killing cows is awesome!

Zombieland, with cows.

A bit confusing... darn cows.

Entertaining, and potentially the next Wal*Mart game, but... it's kind of stupid when you can't use your shotgun. Also, it essentially is a "one of these choices is right, the others kill you"-sort of game. Revise, and it will be magnificent!

AWSOME COWS!DWGf

Really Funny! No descriptions of blood.

Funny, never would have expected that

Awesome Approves! Kind of...
Overall, it wasn't a waste. A cow apocalypse is new, but I've been getting bored with these stories in general. A few grammar and punctuation mistakes here and there but really, it was interesting and fun. But what if I didn't wanna join the cows? The only way to go other than that is getting killed fighting with the SWAT? Come on...
3/8 Aside from the rating, it was good.

That was fun, and kinda cute

Interesting. Very badly written, but an interesting idea. I've kind of grown tired of zombies, or actually I haven't :D but this was a good change. I wish the cows could be more, um, cow-like.

Bad,Bad,BAD,game.

Lots of zombie apocalypse games on the site, so far this is the first game I've seen of a cow apocalypse. Well done ^_^

This... was interesting. Slightly better than the birthday party story but not by much. You seem to be caught between wanting a serious story and random one. Although this was pretty funny in parts and I did enjoy myself, it could be better. Also, having the items be useless was dumb. :( why give them to us if we don't use em? More plot development and character development would be nice. Try again.

are there any endings better than the helping the cows ending

I was randomly killed and then eaten by herbivores (cows); hell, totally rough.

Kind of lazy

Not the best I've ever played. The bad spelling, questionable plot, and obvious choices to choose from really held back this game. Also, something things never got developed. For example, I never got to use one of my items, the shotgun, and things just felt random and unexplained. You did have a good amount of items though, which I give you credit for.

2/8

I joined cows.

and I was looking forward to using the grenade... )=

i have done better

Epic fail!

Fail. 'Nuff said.

Bo dissaproves, feel the shame wash over you

I dont like it.
sorry

Nice description, but the game wasn't all that good.

Better than Tony's Pizza!

4/8 The Item pictures were pretty nice. The grammar could use some work, but atleast I could understand it.

Just... weird.

this game was magnificienly wonderful to poop on and leave feces related comments.

a bit weird and a little odd. Everything went by in a flash.

5/8. I thought it was kind of funny, and I always enjoyed gore in stories. Which this has tons of it. And last but not least, who doesn't want to join vengeful evil cows? Lol! Good job, it was fun. It doesn't take much to impress me though, so don't take this so serious.

A bit linear. I find the weapons were just an excuse for more pages since there was basically no specific function for them. Either that or I haven't explore the game enough. 4/8

Interesting.. a 4 for me.

Hahahaha! Funny! Except, it was ind of linear, and in some places, niether link continued with the story. It's still fun!

This story is hilarious. Lots of nice little touches like cow's brains turning into human brains and then killing you anyway. Could be a little more fleshed out; also, some of the links are a bit confusing. Great job!

Wow. I died really fast!

this is the gratest game of all time thank thank you

Not bad, not bad. I like it, and I didn't know cows' hoofs were small enough to type a message.

It was good coz you got to join cow and kill the SWAT team and you get a PSP.

A rather odd game.

Unexpected. Not to be rude or anything, but I really wasn't expecting much from this game, because of the name and info, but when I played it. It was surprisely good. A nice 6/8 from me.

good game but not the best

ohh he made me click 8 :(

Weird. Its one of those games that goes downhill from the first page.

Me and Chris hope you like this game. It is kind of short, but is just an intro to the series. More will come...
