I feel like kids moves should be higher quality. Teach them about good films from a young age. One can’t keep giving them mindless content at a time were they are supposed to be developing their minds.
Why do you assume that any bad review is from someone who hasn’t played the game? People are allowed to have negative opinions just as much as people are allowed to have positive ones.
Just because you are enjoying the game doesn’t mean that everyone else has to too.
One of the definitions of scoundrel is “A wicked or evil person; someone who dies evil deliberately.” Bounty hunters can be scoundrels too.
If Key was an actual scoundrel it would’ve made the game much more entertaining. The unconfident scrawny teenager Kay is now doesn’t fit in with the outlaw world at all.
Ubisoft has clearly made a name for itself by making mediocre content and this game has only reinforced that image but being upset about that is wrong apparently.
The game clearly doesn’t appeal to the majority of players and that makes you upset. Blaming the “ubisoft haters” or the “anti woke” just sounds like you’re trying to find a convenient scapegoat for why the game isn’t doing well. If the game was good people would play it regardless of who the publisher is.
Most of what you’ve listed haven’t been great to put it lightly.
I’m tired of the Internet trying to gaslight me into thinking that Star Wars is doing well when it’s not. The past few shows/ movies that have come out have basically been:
“Creator” gets hired that knows nothing about Star Wars and wants to make their own thing under the Star Wars brand,
new thing flops,
“Creator” blames the fans.
What makes The High Republic books, Ahsoka, The Mandalorian and The Bad Batch amazing? What about “gems” like The Acolyte, The Book of Boba Fett and Kenobi which I’m sure most people have forgotten about? Are they amazing?
Star Wars is only alive if you live in the artificial consumerist hellhole that the online community created.
Dave Feloni is a clown. If you are familiar with the lore you end up being more pissed off with how he fumbles it. This is especially true if your a fan of Thrawn, Boba Fett or the Mandalorians.
There are plenty of shows that are still entertaining without knowing the lore. How can you claim that Feloni is respectful of the source material when he’s turned light sabers into non lethal weapons, given Mando a ship that doesn’t fit with his role as a bounty hunter, or how he’s turned Thrawn into an idiot?
Now this one might be a little heated, but an example of this happening is the game Stellar Blade, whilst it is still a good game, there was also a sex appeal to it which they cut out the jiggle physics and sultryness out of the game before release....
What “market pressure” are you talking about? The game topped charts because it seemingly wasn’t afraid to have an attractive female lead while backing that up with fun gameplay. The difference with the Sonic movie was that no one liked the original design, and the movie wasn’t patched after people bought tickets.
Aside from all the evidence that says otherwise? Why do you think it’s fine to change/ race swap the culture of another country? Isn’t this exactly the same thing that was found to be offensive when white people did it?
