OpenRA is just a set of fan games though skinned to look like the originals, this code is the real deal to play the original gane content. OpenRA only has remakes of the early games too, the source release has Renegade and General/Zer Hour.
Bioware has been replaced a person at a time ship of theseus style with lesser quality staff, the magic has long departed and it’s just another mediocre studio now trading on a name.
Just like pretty much all media ever really. It’s not like many novels, songs, movies and TV shows are world wide hits either.
I think the point is that it would have still been a fantastic game if it hadn’t sunk a load of money into looking like a movie.
But there are games that have the same problems today, they just look better because they have higher resolution assets but as still riddled with bugs and control issues.
Better by which objective metric? Amount of content? Total size of game code and data? Got to disagree with you otherwise.
I’d argue that is true of any generation, a few games are must plays and endure as such, then there are many that are just okay even at the time and then a bunch of crap it’s hardly worth playing.
So much negativity, regardless of motivation shouldn’t we applaud big companies for doing the right thing and reward them? Or are we all just going to fall over ourselves to give TakeTwo our money for GTA6 after they’ve screwed with the community?
