Was the writing good enough? I played it early and never came back to it. I read reviews before this "remake" and I recall people calling it simplistic and shallow.
Oh no, it was for sure. Maybe shallow isnt the word I would use, but simple 100%. But it worked with the vibe it had going. It was that fun game that you didn't need to think too much about, and could just jump in and enjoy it. It didn't take itself too seriously and was just there for a good time.
do you like it enough to play the remake?
I was one of the people who were surprised by the OG scene that had forced, well you can guess, and that absolutely killed any of the vibe the game had going. Im sure its changed since, and I cant speak for that as I haven't played it, but that was enough for me to not play the remake.
I thought this dev had that consistency, but after the switch could you trust them to make a new game when they did a 180 from their last one and then badmouthed all the fans that complained? Or is really just how much you love the artstyle/story?
Yeah im willing to give anyone a second chance. Sure I wouldn't get invested in it right away, but im not just gonna blacklist the dev or anything.
