bought this legit just so i can leave a negative review

Emulate the Maniax chronicle ver

one of the laziest and worst remasters ive ever seen game was remade in unity but somehow looks worse than the og on ps2 the atmosphere is completely ruined due to the horrible new lighting system they introduced making the game look like you're on the surface of the sun and the fact that this game came out running at 30 fps on modern consoles and PC and the music still sounding compressed as all ♥♥♥♥ is a laughable joke

I love this game its one the best RPG's I've ever played but this version is a spit in the eye to that orginal ps2 gem

Now I am well aware that there are mods to fix alot of issues this version has but to me I hate the fact we live in a day and age where we need fans to fix lazy garbage slop ports like this and Persona 3 Portable instead these multi billion dollar corpos pieces of garbage cant just make something that works

I don't recommend this game because I don't think Atlus should be allowed to sell a game with COMPRESSED MUSIC, ♥♥♥♥-ty PS2 era 4:3 cutscenes RIPPED DIRECTLY FROM THE ORIGINAL GAME, that is LOCKED at 30 fps on PC without a COMMUNITY MADE MOD (Atlus, you're not Bethesda, you can't get the community to code the rest of your ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ports for you) and NO quality of life features at launch, (They patched in fusion skill selection after people ♥♥♥♥♥-ed them out) WHILE STILL DEMANDING $50.00 FOR IT. Oh and they added game journalist mode (since I can't call it pu$$y mode) because the game was TOO HARD.

Only pick it up if the game is on sale for less than $15, otherwise you're better off emulating the PS2 version. The only reason I have this copy is through steam sharing because a family member picked it up by accident while buying other things on Humble Bundle (The game was $9.99 so we're not too upset)

This is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Atlus and if you try to pull any ♥♥♥♥ like this with the enhanced SMT V port (Which you kind of already are by removing the original game from the Switch storefront), the playerbase is going to end up speaking with their wallets, and Daddy Microsoft's money WON'T save you.

The only thing "remastered" is the UI text resolution and the aspect ratio. Otherwise, it looks and runs identically to the original title. You are better off emulating it.

No idea how they can get away with calling this a "Remaster." The menus and default binds are atrocious, cutscenes and textures are potato quality, and it runs at around 25 FPS.
