I’m just sitting here thinking about all the hoopla around palworld right now and I was wondering what other titles out there have been in the controversy filled category in the past few years/decade? I can think of a few, but my game interests are kinda narrow.

What are some of your picks?

    Off the top of my head:

    • I don’t remember which one, but one recent Resident Evil remaster. Must be 4, if you say so!
    • As I mentioned, Warcraft III: Reforged was (is?) considered terrible
    • The GTA III, GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas remasters, which are pretty bad ports of the Android/iOS versions
    • Batman: Return to Arkham
    • Dark Souls: Remastered
    • Metro 2033: Redux
    • Halo: The MCC as well, although I heard that it got a lot better down the line
    • Didn’t some Final Fantasy recent remasters / new releases get criticized?

    From what I recall, most of these were criticized for lacking the hand-crafted textures and lighting that the originals had. For obvious reasons, since most remasters are AI-enhanced textures, upgraded engines and little to no handcraft ever comes into play.
