You know, Steam can negotiate these deals too. They can offer a lower cut and keep the game, no problem. BUT, they don’t.

The devs obviously designed the entire game under a microscope to be challenging. The devs want it to be this way. It is how it is supposed to be.

Exactly this. An easy mode defeats the entire gameplay design. It isn’t the same game with an easy mode. This game is designed to be earned, and it just won’t be fun without it. 

I think it is O.K. to have a game for a specific demographic. There are more easy games than can be counted. Some people like difficult games that require intense concentration, training and skill.

You know, if you’re going to go real low poly/resolution, why not go all in on lighting and effects? The combination works exceptionally well (look at raytraced minecraft or that quake 2 RTX mod).

I am generally into everything Ninja. If you’re into ninjas, you should check out “The Messenger”. It’s a fun yet challenging romp inspired by Ninja Gaiden, without any of the BS. It’s a fun time with a LOT of surprises both in mechanics and gameplay. Plus, dat soundtrack.

I think I would rather see a full remake. Just dump the gimmicky mechanics, give it some new visuals, and make it run on a single screen like it is 2019. 

Truthfully, this isn’t much more complicated than a standard dual stick controller in terms of number of buttons and such.

It can actually be pretty decent when modded.

This is the game Rocksteady should be making next. I’d be all over that. 

I’m 95% sure it is the speed of which the built in safety features no longer function properly, or are entirely useless. Scientifically. 

I’m real disappointed to see no sword play after seeing the title. Maybe that’s my own fault :/

To the fair, the fog present in current games is WAY different than the fog of the N64 days, but still a valid observation.

The polished the one part of their original showing that actually made it into the game as was. Basically everything else was either changed or was completely fabricated...I haven’t decided yet. 

Just to point out a big issue with this whole thing...

Is it weird that I sort of home he retired so he can now be the president of the U.S.? I’d vote that guy in. Why not at this point?

This Bioware isn’t the same Bioware that used to make great games. The body is there but the soul is gone. Altered Carbon comes to mind here...

I’d rather wait six months, get it for 1/4th to 1/2 the price, and get the better experience (if that comes).

This is definitely destined for the bargain bin. I keep seeing them at 60 locally and no one is picking them up. I see 40 as an eventual low. Maybe worth it at that.

The actual gameplay graphics of the remake look better than the CG cut-scenes of the original.
