Stop brushing now to be ahead of the curve.

Or I could just be post-puberty.

I don’t like the characters, full stop. This is a pretty common complaint about the game. But if you found them to be entertaining, then bully for you.

I’m playing it now and it’s fucking embarrassing. That’s not to say it’s not fun. There’s plenty of stuff to enjoy. But holy shit, the personality of the game is just embarrassing. I can’t possibly imagine this is anyone’s idea of cool or funny. It feels like they were trying to sell this to 9 year olds. It’s not just the fact that it’s sanitized (although that’s certainly a complaint), it’s also corny. The first few minutes has the characters enthusiastically planning karaoke and “mug-mosas.” I know the series had been moving in this general direction for a while, but I was really hoping that with the reboot, they’d pull back on the club kid/social media influencer type of personality.
