Holy shit that's the worst one. It's not even remotely the same character
Yeah, that's fucked. All the other redesigns were fine, but that one's crazy. I just hope the rework was worth it in the end, this is really the only game that has the reverse world genre (With a dominant mc atleast).
Respectfully, fuck what everyone else's saying about the mc, he looks badass now, especially in that 3rd one. Of course, the old mc did have a particular charm but this is better imo.
Now you're practically the only masculine man in the twisted world, with the looks matching it.
Not a fan at all of Jeanne's rework (Her messy hair and crazy eyes were sexy, all of that is gone now), but if he carries through and delivers a good enough remake then I can move past it.
Hopefully he remakes his shitty sandbox system too, 3 hours of content but what feels like 40 hours trying to access it.
The fact that he's remaking the storyline too doesn't inspire alot of confidence, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
i probably misunderstood something, but i was under the impression that the 1st rework-release would include progress with all characters up to par with the old game ... judging from that post it seems we'll "only" get the hell-stuff, the hospital-stuff and thats it? ... very disappointed
then again, I set my expectations wayyyyyyy too high to be fair i guess
Apparently the new prologue is as big as the old game (Yeah right) so there's that. And all of it has a lot more content in each part (Heaven, Hell, Hospital).
That's what happens when shitty first time devs take on gargantuan projects they cannot finish.
If he started on a smaller scale he would've been done with this one and move on to a new game with improved graphics and a whole lot more experience behind his belt, but instead he opted for 200 characters who could've been easily spread among 50 other games. And now he thinks he's sitting on a golden ticket and he's too afraid to move cause he could lose it. Sadly that is the culture we created by paying complete amateurs for working on a game with no incentive on finishing it.
Yeah, that's why I don't support first time devs as much as I do devs that have a good track record. If you have a record of unfinished games or a history of remaking games halfway through then why would I support you as a dev? I can't be sure that I'm going to get a return on my investment.
Then you look at people who have a track record of completed games with thought out endings. There still isn't a guarantee that they'll finish the game you like, but the likelihood of them taking the money and running is a lot lesser.
This applies to ALL games really. GTA 6 is finally coming out, but these last couple years they've built a record of pushing out low effort remakes.
They've proven to be extremely greedy and extremely lazy. So I won't preorder it because I can't be sure of it's quality, I'll wait for reviews.
Same applies to these first time VN makers, I'll wait for the game to be completed before I give them money.
Reputation is most important when it comes to sales to be honest.
