idle thought #501

Beyond their terrible opinions on mental health, Bloober Team is just…generally meh?    Like, I barely forced myself through watching a let’s play of the Blair Witch, because I was really bored, and I’m actually kind of glad I never finished watching the Medium knowing how it ended.    Something about the way they write is neither compelling nor interesting to me.    I was interested in Layers of Fear, I think because it had a very unique visual style, but beyond that I haven’t found a single one of their products too interesting.    Observer?    Observation?    Whatever, the noir-style detective game.    That’s the most unique/interesting/different style they’ve ever done, and the gritty realism was top notch, and I didn’t even finish watching that one.    I got through the intro episode to the Medium (with Gab I think?) and while she was enjoying it and very much looking forward to it, like with SAO I just didn’t care what would happen in the future with these characters enough to continue.    Which is why I’m fairly sure the Silent Hill 2 remake will only be good if their hands are held enough that they might as well not have bothered outsourcing it at all.    Downfall? I think?    That studio I like.    I didn’t like the ending of Stories Untold, because I think the blame could have been shared around a little more, but if they were writing it to reflect attitudes at the time it was 100% correct.    And Forte is the one I’m most interested in.
