The last game they released was the witness, which i own!

$15 for a remaster of a game I already own is a big ask

And the original still holds pretty well. Additionally is not a game that has a lot of replayability, I loved the game but is kind of a one shot.

Same sentiment here. Loved braid when it came out. Bought and enjoyed The Witness when it came out. I don't need a remaster of either. If you've got a good idea for another game I'm very interested but I'm not re-buying games I already own.

In my opinion it's not even a "good" game. The story is unique and has a good twist, but the gameplay is is just okay.

Well everyone who’s heard of it probably owns it and the new edition just added better graphics and all that behind the scenes stuff nobody ever cares about. I thought many parts of the OG game looked better in SD than HD anyway.

I don't remember the details but isn't there scandal surrounding Jonathan blow too?

[–] jtsavage@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Good, this guy sucks.

[–] FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Two years on Lemmy and 2/3 of this guy's "hot takes" are that people suck.

If you don't have anything constructive to add to the conversation then maybe consider just keeping those thoughts to yourself.

[–] jtsavage@hexbear.net 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nah, I think it's constructive for people to hear that some people suck.

[–] Chronographs@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 months ago

Do you have any examples of how he sucks?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Couldn't really get my head around it the first time, so yeah, definitely wasn't gonna go back for more
