In the case of Disney Star Wars, fans got really angry at Kathleen Kennedy and her team whose obsession was gender, race and identity... to the detriment of good story telling. Maybe Andor is good, but Miss Kennedy and her goons have tainted Disney SW. In the case of BG3, I don't understand the backlash. This game is great (the only complaint one may have are some minor technical problems). I'm starting to think that the campaign is orchestrated by other big studios to sabotage the competition I think we are talking about very different things in terms of Andor. I'm not talking about the culture war things. There is a subset of Disney SW fans who think Mandalorian is great and even some of them like the Boba Fett show but who dislike Andor for being "different". By different they mean more mature and serious and less silly. Whilst Andor objectively has the best writing of any SW TV show and it isn't even close. So that's what I meant with two groups of fans who reject something for being too "good".

August 20, 20231 yr Just finished watching this. It's a good breakdown about the story of Blashphemous 1. There is another new game that is a 2-D Bloodborne

I'm doing the "investigate Kagha" mission at the moment. All in all, it's a solid game! Very original.

Next time, I think I'll choose Paladin or pure fighter (Eldrich knight). Spells are interesting, but kinda costly in a combat (at least from what I understand in the combat mechanics). Cantrips seem to be less costly (they just cost an action point). I really like Shadowheart as a companion. She's the kinda girl I like.
August 22, 20231 yr A lot of big releases are upcoming. Also FROMSOFT confirmed that there will be more Elden-Ring/ Souls-like games coming in the future. Blasphemous 2 - Aug 24, 2023 Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon - Aug 25, 2023 Starfield - Sep 6, 2023 Lies of P - Sep 19, 2023 Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty - Sep 26, 2023 For me Starfield is the most interesting new release. Armored Core I've already seen a lot of preview footage of and know what's it like.
August 22, 20231 yr Now into the Underdark, combat is getting fun. I would say up to and including level three some of the encounters can be frustrating, but once you get to level five you get enough variety in your abilities to make the experience much richer.

The Shadowheart character is the most typical 'hot' character. The characters in this game all have narrow heads for some reason.
