Current Events > The MediEvil remake is harder than the original >_>

(+) Yeah! (+)

You get swarmed by enemies and they'll damage you simply by touching you, and it's not because physically contacting them is supposed to hurt you, but rather it's registering an attack without showing an attack animation.

Also I swear in the original you used to be able to stagger enemies that were charging at you if you hit them with your sword? Now nothing happens and they just keep murdering you.

I just went through this with Metal Wolf Chaos. And they put so much bullshit in that game. I do not miss checkpointless games.

It has a lot in common with Shenmue 3 when it comes to ignoring 20 years of quality of life improvements. It's still fun but they really did just update the graphics. Gameplay is straight from PS1

Tbf, this is what people think they want from Remasters...until they get it.

I never played the original so I'm not really any worse for the wear.

Which is worse when you consider that MediEvil was already considered clunky even when it first released...like goddamn if it was already below-average then it's going to be even worse if you just straight keep it the same now.

Like it was kind of the same problem I had with the Crash trilogy remake, where they kept the same shitty jump mechanics from the original.

Yeah it came out at the end of October I think? Cheaper than the Crash and Spyro trilogies but that makes sense given it's only one game, not 3.

I hate that this game has secret trophies that are just absolute bullshit >_>

Also the "Throw 42 Chicken Legs"...fuck off you only get 30 at a time so you either have to complete the Ant Caves level twice or do a glitch with an Imp.

Oh good lord the Lost Souls quest is fucking awful. Who the fuck thought "Let's make them replay EVERY level once, and possibly twice if they do it in the wrong order!" was a good addition to this game

If I wasn't trying to Platinum this game I wouldn't even do it, because the "reward" is literally just unlocking the ability to play the original game from the main menu.
