I love Blasphemous, it's one of my favourite games. Yet i cant forgive it for being so successful that The Game Kitchen probably won't ever make another point and click mystery again.
Edit: I should probably have specified that this artwork is from a 2d platformer soulslike called Blasphemous 2
"On the other hand Lovecraft stories work because he was racist. Fear of the unknown etc."
Well when you get right down to it, the wizarding world of harry potter only really functions because of the author's hardcore belief in the importance of the status quo and the existence of groups of people who are inherently evil... Not saying the premise wouldn't have worked without that but it would have been a really different story
Boy that would seriously mess with the narrative of this comment section if that were the case
Edit: oh no
I used to have a friend who was born with his left hand disabled and could only really play videogames on easy unless they had heavy accessibility options. Whenever i see these weird "dark souls needs to be hard" people i cant help but think about him and how he's barred from playing these deep, visually impressive games because the community starts sending death threats at the mere mention of an easy mode.
The amount of knee jerk rage I've seen over paint whenever one of these incidents happens. Its paint. It comes off. Its an extremely effective strategy to get attention while causing little to no damage.
Meh, personally I'd still take the movie written by a human over the corperate ai, but i can see where you're coming from. I dont exactly think theres a right answer when it comes to this particular debate
Reject modernity. Return to scythe.
That was something that really baffled me about the disney acquisition. They spent 4 billion on the property but never thought to have someone explain to them what actually made it profitable. It was the universe that people latched onto, thats what sold the merchandise and the novels and spin offs. Yet the new films seemed almost spitefully bent on ignoring all that
Ok I get that, but i might argue that at least the prequel writing has heart, and a purpose for the story. Do you genuinely believe the disney executive level writing in the sequels is better?
No Miss Marple huh.... Shame
Now there's a hot take. Can i get your reasoning?
You know how when you're studying literature you're generally supposed to assume that everything is intenional and there's nothing just thrown in for no reason ... Well when you read Joyce, it's really really hard not to feel like he's just doing things for the sake of being pretentious and obtuse.
