Well as someone who hasnt been following this game for 5 years and just played it now, its easily one of my favorite games now. Theres a metric fuckton of content and it took me 2 days to only get halfway through it. I just got to the outdated graphics part and its DEFINITELY a huge improvement. The prologue was amazingly smooth and generally just a joy to play. Now some things are starting to not make sense since this "merge" may have not taken into account changes made in the prologue.
I get why people might complain IF they are actually paying for the game for the past 5 years, but you cant deny the updated game looks so much better and the MC isnt a damn creep in the prologue like i clearly see he is in the old stuff. Updating the beginning of your game to be aesthetically pleasing as you can possibly make it makes sense. Reminds me of Where the Heart Is and how ugly and grotesque the first 3 chapters were.... i legit almost didnt make it to the rest of the game where it really shined. Its a smart business decision even if you dont like it.
