I want to hate this because Activision sucks ass and CoD is a military recruitment game but my distaste for cashgrab remakes is holding me back.

I know a lot of CoD is like FIFA in that it's the same game every release...I'm just so tired of remakes and the only way I'm giving these big studios money is if they make NEW games.

While I tend to agree with you on pointless cash grab remakes, THPS 1+2 was the perfect formula for a remake in my opinion. It's a true remake of a 20+ year old game, reasonably priced, and part of a series that was really starved for a good entry. The added mechanics bring a lot to the overall experience, and most importantly, it's a blast to play.

I thought the remakes were plagued with issues on launch and thus got poor reviews.

[–] chetradley@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

It got good reviews. I don't know about any launch issues, but keep in mind I never played it online and I don't ever buy games day 1, so if they did have issues they were probably worked out by the time I picked it up.

I tried and just couldn't get into it

[–] chetradley@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No worries, to each their own. I'm just expressing why many people, myself included, are bummed this series is getting shelved again.

I guess I'd just rather a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 6 than a remake for the sake of nostalgia

Judging by how terrible 5 was, I'm ok if they don't.
