I may be interested in a sequel to Arceus Legends. While that game was similarly undercooked, at least it did something new and is enjoyable at the base level.
All I know is that someone turned down an offer to speak into a microphone for double what I make engineering IT systems in a more than four times longer timespan, and expects me to be outraged on her behalf.
Boycotting this is absolutely ridiculous. Doesn't affect anything, doesn't benefit me. I don't care about imaginary social Internet points, or some person I've never met's abrasive opinion about what I should be doing with my time and money.
At the end of the day it's business and someone else took the business you didn't want to take. Don't want to accept an underpaid job? Power to you, even if it sounds like you could use the money. Trying to cancel Bayonetta and slag the new VA? Get off yourself.
Also annoying how indie devs are treated like some protected minority and that some bloke on the Internet is trying to make others feel pressured to buy at full price when they'd rather wait for a price that suits them. Needs to end. We can't be held responsible for someone else entering a crowded, competitive market. I often buy at full price if I want a game at launch. Just stop the obnoxious preaching, already. Respect us as humans, and respect our ability and freedom to make our own decisions.
Regarding review scores, subtractive game criticism assumes that all games are created equal and then you subtract points from some theoretical concept of perfection. Which is, of course, a superbly flawed system. I would rather hear a reviewer's feelings than a forced approximation of a robot.
@NoodlesAndBeans not to mention that they're closer to Paper Mario than actual Paper Mario these days. I've yet to play Bug Fables but I've kicked it up a few spots on my backlog now
If the game is recreated in a new engine, it's a remake. If it is reworked in the same engine as the original, but with tweaks and optimizations, it's a remaster. If they make significant changes to gameplay, story etc, its a reimagining
@Ursaking I mean I agree with @fenlix, the outrage on this site on every article like this just comes across as obnoxious. Nobody is arguing that it is not unethical, but people getting bent out of shape over things like this is some combination of sad and ridiculous.
