Admit it, you went into it ready to hate it and you were never gonna like it

Just finished season 1 and I was seriously underwhelmed. It’s well done and all, but the story is extremely incoherent and ultimately pointless.

People are allowed to have different opinions than you… I also was underwhelmed by the show. Lots of people don’t like super popular shows.

No, I had zero expectations as I had never played the game and knew nothing about it other than what the name already implied.
If I feel like I’m not going to like something, I don’t waste my time confirming that.

Yeah the writing is the weakest part of it for sure.
njm1314@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Writing seems to be the weak point in all of movies and television these days.

Not quite ALL, but a lot of it, yeah. I think probably there’s a greater societal tolerance for bad writing as opposed to other parts of film/tv production. Lots of people just don’t even recognize when the writing is bad.

PICNIC

POCNOT, please. If you want to get the acronym right.
I still don’t agree, but that’s your call.
Agrivar@lemmy.world 7 months ago
WTF acronym are you talking about? I’ve encountered the PICNIC variant of PEBKAC a few times, but never POCNOT. DDG was unhelpful in this regard.

Yeah, it was just fine. Same as the games, it was okay but seems to hold itself in much higher regard than it should

I’m curious. What do you mean by incoherent and ultimately pointless.
I found the story pretty simple to follow, so I’m not sure what you mean there.
As far as ultimately pointless, do you mean the writing was bad or do you mean the outcome was bleak?
viking@infosec.pub 7 months ago
It’s simple to follow, sure, but it really felt like gameplay quests being completed in whatever sequence rather than an actual story being told.
I know it’s based on a game and should resemble it as such, but if it’s not appealing to those who never played it, they are missing a huge part of the potential audience.
For instance I’ve also never played The Last of Us, and that series was absolutely brilliant.
And yes, with pointless I mean bad writing and extremely poor character development. In the end I liked none of them.

How could you not like the Ghoul? I can’t follow your logic on the story, it’s flowed fine and had coherence across the season with maybe the exception of episode 6 which was almost a bottle episode.
