Esrac 05/11/19 3:58:59 PM #56:	VerisimiIitude posted... This game is in quite a position. No matter what they do to the original game, every scene, mechanic, feature, (altered or unchanged) is going to be met with scrutiny and negativity in some fashion. I cant imagine there being a way for this game to be seen in a positive light. Certainly not the way the original is/was regarded or even how some of the more successful remakes in recent memory have accomplished this. Its something to talk about at least... The best they can do, I figure, is make the game as faithful to the original as possible while also making it look really pretty. --- http://steamcommunity.com/id/Esrac/wishlist/ <cite>Esrac posted [p:921764779] in Kotaku is ...

action52 05/11/19 6:25:49 PM #75:	You know, if the amount of attention web sites gained was based only on their influence and relevance to the game industry as a whole, rather than on how much they piss off conservative and hardcore anti-feminist "gamergaters," we would never see topics about Kotaku here. Kotaku is a tiny, meaningless site that does nothing but put out fluff pieces to stroke liberal egos and preach to the choir. They deserve no one's attention. I'm a liberal who agrees with most of what they say, but even I can see this. --- i am truley sorry for your lots <cite>action52 posted [p:921769511] in Kotaku is ...
