HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE?! Why does this have so many positive reviews??

[jontheoverlord]

Is it just because of the improved AI and the small QOL improvements?

Because that's ignoring EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE GAME!

After playing the demo it really showed me first hand how awful this "remaster" is overall.

Why does "Frank" phase through the zombies so much?
That just makes the game feel unpolished and unfinished and it costs so much immersion every time that happens, these zombies don't feel very solid a lot of the time.

The blood is pretty bad, it looks more like jam and the physics around it just aren't very good and in some cases... there's no blood at all when there should be!

The physics feel a bit off too, it's hard to describe why it just does, jump kicking the zombies doesn't feel very satisfying compared to the original.

ALSO, this a problem that I didn't expect I'd have until I played the demo, having the original lines from the survivors read out loud word-for-word feels so wrong!

This is because the original lines weren't meant to be acted out loud by a person and so the lines don't come across like a person speaking naturally, this problem is also present in DR2:OTR as well because they made Stacey's calls to Frank fully voices there too when originally those calls weren't fully voiced in DR2 and it doesn't feel natural there either.
That's why writing a Novel isn't the same as writing a script.

There're just so many little things that take away so much, the VA's are overall worse, Iv'e said this many times before BUT ALSO the VA's tend not to have any vocal effects on there voices like echoes when needed and some ambient sounds are also missing when they're needed too.

Everything is so much darker and less colourful than the original, especially the security room!

Also, despite adding in those bears from DR2, when you pick them up and do stuff with them the don't say anything at all, unlike they did in DR2 such as "how are you?" and "I'm so happy to see you"... which is sad because I was actually happy to see them... I guess they weren't happy to see me :(

Infinity mode is better, the weapons are better balanced, the gameplay has more variety (we even got combo weapons, kinda), cut beta content was restored, and that's before the QOL changes so I like it better than OG still despite the problems. Especially hard to go back to OG when you get used to some of things like better controls.

Still needs patches to fix some of the things you mentioned though, the sounds for example are still awful. But I for one like the newly voiced interactions because it gives the actors a chance to not sound like they're being forced to copy the OG delivery, which they were for the most part.

The washed down and censored edginess is just not needed. Literally just compare this to the original, that's all you have to do to see which is more enjoyable.

Some people might like this new version but I think the majority of us see this as an egregious demake of a classic.

Depends what you mean by majority, most hardcore in the inner circle don't care about anything you're saying, it's mostly just Crowbcat tourists who never even played it before. Game has plenty of problems, but not being rewarded for titty pics is the least of issues.

For me the game needs a nightmare difficulty to feel truly complete. It's causualized enough, throw us vets a bone already.

i've been a fan of DR1 since first playing it when i was 10 or 11 years old back in 2008. i got all achievements when i was 11 or 12, and completed all achievements 3 times in total. twice on the 360, and once on PC. it's probably the best game i've ever played, i just tried the demo for this yesterday, and i can honestly say this is terrible compared to the original. it seems most people are defending it just to "own the chuds". pathetic.

edit: there's a recording of me somewhere when i first earned the 7 day survivor achievement. i was so cute with my squeaker voice and so happy lol.

This might blow your mind but people can like things that you don't like. We are not in third grade anymore and the majority of people don't care if you like something they dislike and vice versa. They shrug and move on with their lives.
