I disagree. The original had this insanely addicting arcadey feeling goodness to it that was completely stripped out of the remake. It was a good game, but doesnt come close to matching the highs i felt while playing the original.

Emphasis on "felt"
As in past tense, I bet a dollar for donuts you haven't played it in a while.

It's full of QTEs, escort quests, long boring corridors. Has terrible pacing. Has an atrocious menu system were it takes a long time to do basic actions and pretty crappy controls.

People loved it on release like you did because it had cutting edge graphics at the time but huge aspects of the game just plum do not hold up outside of nostalgia.

RE4make fixes all of that. The only real loss is that it's "Less silly" which is a good thing IMO but I get people who don't like that.

I've never in my life heard anyone argue "This game would be better if it we inserted crappy QTEs every 4 seconds, menuing took 9 times as long and 4 times as many button presses and we slowly ran up and down a more corridors so the pacing crashes to a halt." yet that's what people are proposing for RE4make? I don't buy it.

If the OG RE4 was released for the first time today, it would be generally panned. Game design has moved on. The remake kept everything that was good and fixed everything that was broken.
