What are you Playing Now? - Right Now at the moment edition
Ah damn, true. It was Deck Nine. But whatever, I guess. Still more gameplay than LiS2 had. I'm seriously kinda angry right now about the game. Took me 18 hours of which Probably at least 10 or more was spend on looking at slow cutscenes, while the rest was just wandering around, trying to find the next hotspot. The remaining hours was me having the game paused in the main menu, because I needed a break for a while. They have this whole mechanic of the brother being able to use telekinesis and it is barely outside of a few scripted sequences. The few emotional touching moments weren't enough to weight this up. Thank god I had nothing better to do.

Just finished Life is Strange 2. It was... ok. Ending was fine, but by god is this game slow. Jesus Christ, can you make it even slower, I'm not sure. Worst is, you can't even skip cutscenes, which turns a replay into a huge pain in the arse. Wouldn't mind to check out some alternative paths, but not like this. Most of the time you'll sit around and watch long winded cutscenes with characters that speak too slow. Rest of the time you will be trapped in a small space and interact with hot spots that shower you in toxic positivity. Note to the writers: Not everything has to be cool and awesome. It's ok to not like things. Some characters are nice. It's cool to see The mother was... just so pointless. I wonder how so many people could be nice to her. I really didn't care and feel like she deserved nothing. Some of the writing is really awkward. It's like they had to make everything somehow wholesome... it really shouldn't be. Now I wonder if all their other games are this slow as well. LiS1 had A LOT more and interesting gameplay going on than whatever was going on here. Guess I'll be rooting for Dontnod now to deliver a better next game. True Colors was cringe as hell, but at least it had a lot more fun gameplay. 😄

Finally decided to give Life is Strange 2 a go. Bought it back in the days but then never played it, because somehow lost the motivation. Finished episode 1 now. All in all it was better than I expected, but IMO a bit too slow, with really long cutscenes. It's like, if I am breaking down the gameplay segments from the cutscenes, there's really only very little content. You're basically just walking around interacting with hotspots, then pick up some stuff and let's go to the next cutscene. The first game felt a lot more balanced in that area. Also I now remember all the people crying about the game being woke or whatever, because it features a racist character who is very clearly a trumper-type. Didn't felt too off to me. What was a little more weird was the savior dude who was into nudism. That was a bit... not sure what to make of it. Started episode 2 now. Will see how it continues.

Isn't this exactly the same they said with the last season? Feels like I'm having a deja vu.

Watched the first 2 Ahsoka episodes and then just stopped. Never looked back. It's really funny to me that Andor of all the shows is the one that ended up being good. Like... this random guy nobody gave a damn about in that one movie from how many years ago gets his own show because whatever... and it is actually good?? What are the odds. Even that Obi-Wan show wasn't great.

God I have such high hopes, but I probably shouldn't.

It's just whenever I see people write about the Venom movies, they seem to be quite disliked. I get that some parts of them are a little meh and probably could be better, but at the end of the day, I didn't fell asleep while watching them, so it's at least better than Wonder Woman and... some other super hero movies which I can't remember right now, because I slept through them. 😄

I probably belong to the few who thought Venom 1 and 2 was ok and at least watchable once. 😄 Will watch the third movie for sure.
