  • @Sanraks
    someone on twitter said it best: "they took a finished game and made it unfinished"
  • @dougpowers2
    Remember: Original releases are still available on Steam. They function and look better (with free mods) Cheaper and smaller file size
  • @HaruTachibana
    Imagine destroying a game that would have been so easy to re-release
  • @druidofdark
    Game companies can't keep getting away with this
  • @desertfish74
    “Sorry this was a mistake” = “sorry we got caught”
  • @KUPSMusic
    As a friend of mine described it: "how do you have such an easy layup and fail so hard."
  • @szrelemr7784
    All they had to do was just re-release the game to modern systems with a working online mode. Most of us wouldn't even care if the graphics were untouched. And yet they managed to botch even those simple tasks.
  • @C31ticWarri0r
    I'm not even surprised anymore, nothing is what is advertised these days..
  • @thegameplayer125
    it feels weird knowing we can't blame ea for this dud of a release
  • @jakthebomb
    Remember, companies can steal from you, not the other way around.
  • @kodiakcanuck
    Executives and game jurnos will say gamers are over reacting; in actuality gamers just want to stop getting ripped off.
  • @silverscion2144
    Apparently that same mod author has since gone back to examine the files used in different versions of the classic collection, and he has found that his assets were being used in other places as well, such as with Kit Fisto’s unique force bubble attack, which he recreated from scratch.
  • @defaulted9485
    All they had to do is to just give it graphical updates and relaunch the servers. That's it. I can't even fathom why the game needs to be 70 Gigabytes.
  • @Saint_Wolf_
    Studio be like: Yea I'm quadruple A: A: New entries release broken A: Ports release broken A: Remasters release broken A: Loan and investor money pays CEO's 9 digit Golden parachute
  • @BattleBuddy9000
    I do not understand how they messed this up. YOU HAD ONE JOB
  • @mix3k818
    I'm impressed. Making both your modern and retro titles broken takes guts.
  • @Zzinged
    Another case of why-am-I-not-fucking-surprised for the history books.
  • Also aspyr parent company is saber. Which explains a lot saber has a horrendous history of QA and priority management based of their previous games
  • @zonewulf9885
    $35 isn’t reasonable for a rereleased game with less features then the previous versions with minor visual improvements.
