So if you’ve seen Fincher’s Dune then paying for Villeneuve’s Dune is not acceptable? After all they’re technically the same movie because they’re based on the same source material.
I get not liking a remake because it’s one to one to the original(edit: I’d even go as far as to say at that point it’s likely a remaster not a remake) , but I don’t get not liking a remake just because it’s a remake. System Shock remake is true to System Shock but it still feels different enough to be a separate game.
Can we stop slut-shaming remakes? The main reason people hate remakes is because they confuse remake with remaster. Remaster is the same game with a new paint of coat, remake is a reimagining of the original. Music is probably the best medium for a comparison, songs get remastered all the time, but it’s very much the same song that just sounds better now. A song remake is a different take (usually by a different artist) on the same song, essentially a cover.
We tend to be more critical of covers but nobody would dismiss a good cover just because it’s a cover. So why do we do the same with games?
Those clickbait bot written posts have a bigger significance than your “No it’s not lmao”. I’m gonna side with the bots rather than some self-important contrarian.
What? It’s almost universally accepted that New Vegas is one of the greatest RPGs of all time. Go through any “top RPGs of all time” list and you’re pretty much guaranteed to find New Vegas there, usually in the top half of the list.
I don’t know. I’ve played every Fallout game (except tactics and that weird PS2/Xbox game) and it won’t even be on my radar until word of mouth confirms it’s good. The moment I saw Todd Howards name my interest plummeted. I’m happy that Bethesda has kept the franchise alive but Fallout 3 and 4 are a whole step below what Black isle/Obsidian created. If the show is going to be based on the Bethesda vision of Fallout then it’s instantly going to be at odds with the fanbase.
I’m not 100% sure but I think FO76 is maintained by BGS Austin. They seem to be far more interested in taking feedback and making the game better than the main Bethesda studio. FO76 may be fundamentally flawed but post-launch it’s definitely getting more care than Skyrim, FO4 and Starfield combined.
To be fair I couldn’t tell you either. Destiny has been rehashing the same shit for years now but for some reason this year people finally got fed up. I can’t believe it’s just because they released a completely filler expansion but most of the other issues have been around from previous years.
You do realize that your “problem” is entirely irrelevant in the context of this thread? The comment first mentioning Souls games literally says they’ve bought the game and they want it to be easier. That is not an explanation why they wouldn’t buy the game, it’s a complaint that the game they’ve bought doesn’t cater to their needs. The problem you’ve described doesn’t exist here so there’s no problem with the analogy either.
I agree that you can’t draw conclusions about the quality of the game simply by the fact that it missed the revenue target. But I’m not drawing the conclusion based on the fact that it missed the target but rather based on by how much the target was missed. If they missed by 15% then sure, it’s not an indication because maybe they really did overestimate their target. But 45%? You don’t miss by that much when you have yearly revenue numbers showing you the trend. My point is that such a severe miss in this case does end up being indicative of the quality because the explanations, even yours, will end up being negative about the game.
Except Bungie isn’t creating a new game here, they’re continuing a game they’ve been supporting for years. They have years of metrics and they should have a pretty good understanding how much revenue to expect. Even if they were overly optimistic and set an unrealistic projection it doesn’t explain missing it by 45%.
Some people like getting choked, but if you don’t then maybe you shouldn’t do things where you might get choked. Maybe don’t go into Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and be like “bro, WTF you choked me out” when you get choked. Nobody is forcing you to play Fromsoft games. You want to play them and you know they’re hard. You’re putting yourself in that metaphorical chokehold and then complain when you get choked.
If that sounded stupid, then that’s because it is. Don’t be a child and expect the world to cater to your needs. Not everything is for you and if you don’t enjoy it then maybe you shouldn’t play. I don’t like Battle royales so I don’t play them. I don’t start up Warzone and then complain how I don’t enjoy it, because I understand when I’m not the demographic and I don’t expect the game to cater to my needs.
