Zenobureido (2010)
SO MANY QUESTS!!
To start, xbc is an amazing game that can pull in many players. Yes, it lacks of animations and all sorts of movement, but is was a test game so the budget was limited. It's either a love it or hate it game, with some people saying it is perfect and others thinking that it's the worst game to ever exist. I used to play the game on the Nintendo wii, and recently got the definitive edition and I could see some changes here and there. But the only department they didnt change at all was the stupid number of quests of 480. I get it, it's an easy way to add content into a game but 480 is a bit of an overkill. Not to mention that the majority of them are the exact same: go kill this go kill that, or collect a million orbs from 4 different areas and then come back to me. After a certain amount of playing time it gets a bit boring and slowly starts to lose its meaning. Don't get me wrong, there are some quests that can save the whole picture of the game, but trying to add content into the game in that way was kind of a bad idea. Apart from the only downfall though, it is a great game that can kill time quite efficiently.
The Sandman (2022)
It was entertaining enough to keep me going
Firstly let me say that I have not read any of the comic books, so I don't know how well each actor played the role. The first half, in which Dream is searching for his lost tools, is pretty well done, maybe the best 3 to 4 episodes of the series. However after that it kinda goes downhill a bit. Don't get me wrong, it still is quite nice, but I felt as though they were milking the show to a point.
I could have rated it higher, of course, only if they kept the characters as they are in the comic (besides not reading the comic, I know how some characters are). This show could have been a 9 or even a 10 from me, if they didn't bother themselves with the gender-swaps. Again, for someone who might not have read the comic, this swap is not going to be a big deal, however it still doesn't sit well with me that the only reason it happened was to satisfy a group of people who in the long run are stupid and have an opinion for matters that don't concern them.
A lot of people, who are active on social media or TV shows, series, movies etc. Have that fear of being "cancelled" by some people who have gained more attention than they deserve.
Overall, though, it is a nice show, a lot of work has been put on it, and if the whole swapping doesn't bother you, you'll have a good time.
