Agreed. I think anyone who’s played the game can’t help but draw comparisons and that definitely clouds how we see the show. There’s this Reddit group I follow that has both gamer and non-gamer discussions, funny enough, all the negativity is coming from the gamer side. I guess since we’ve all played the game, we go in with expectations and end up nitpicking, which doesn’t really help in judging the show on its own. Meanwhile, the non-gamers seem to be really enjoying it. I have caught myself doing the same, constantly comparing it to the game and becoming overly critical. But honestly, I think the show’s decent and getting more hate than it deserves. The latest episode especially, they absolutely nailed it. Pedro was incredible, just pure class and Bella was good too... really held her own. Watching the show makes me want to boot up the game again.

Did you do the green icon missions or the yellow icon missions? The yellow ones are actual side quests. The green ones are just filler. They should have deleted those tbh. Only the DLC has good green quests.

My perspective, from someone who has not played the 2nd game yet (but i already knew the main plot points from random spoilers on the internet) Bellas acting is fine. Not perfect but fine. Some scenes she over-acts but nothing too egregious. When she has to deliver strong emotions she's actually very good. Looks wise she could have at least lost some weight i think. She looks too similar to the first season. They're trying to make up for it with hair and clothes and it ends up looking worse. I do think that the memes and hate is overblown. From her perspective it must be devastating to see so many people meme and mock your looks. Genuinely feel bad for her and hope she can ignore it. People being extra cruel for no reason. As for the show itself i think it's a drop down in quality. The reduced episode count, this isaac guy feeling like a stereotypical bad guy, dinas character and the pregnancy plot. Not a fan of any of that. Pedros acting is still top notch. Abbeys acting was good too. The production elements are still great. The world, the lighting, the set design, the music. Enjoying it for all that. Im enjoying the general plot too. Can't wait to play the game later.

Now we can finally confirm why GabeN always promoted Xbox over Playstation. He knew this day was imminent.

It all depends on the games you are currently playing. For ppl who are playing 2023 & beyond games right now it makes sense to buy Pro. For ppl who will play those set of games later as back log it would make more sense to buy PS5pro then instead of PS6.
