That's honestly a pretty incredible achievement.

Yep. Like it's a fluke I even know about the Indiana Jones game. Never played it (probably never will), but it's tech reviewers bringing it up as the go-to raytracing benchmark that are the only reason I know about it.

My limited understanding is that Botherhood followed the comic closer AND actually finished the story. So many people love and prefer Brotherhood though, and I do remember liking it, but I think I prefer how the OG told the story better. Case and point: Nina.

Knowing my luck it was about to "get good", but at the time I was annoyed at how juvenile things were.

I disliked how Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood started too for similar reasons (felt like childish slapstick, unlike the original Anime). When I retried it and had patience, it got better.

lol, I'm the opposite (found Avatar dragged on, finished Kora).

Haha, purrfection. 😸

Something I did by accident that worked out in my favor was "not responding" or acknowledging it (...most of the time). Eventually folks in the community stood up on my behalf, without me having to do anything. I want to say I they eventually gave up, or I blocked the right people and don't see it.

If it's any consolation, I'd wager 95% of people don't see what you see. I realize our situations are different, but I too found myself the target of a hostile community. I struggled with trying to appease my haters for far too long (a decade?), but blocking/ignoring *eventually* got easier.
