Do you think bad games should be included in compilations?


I'll admit I had fun playing Altered Beast in Sega Genesis Classics, even though it's a god-awful game.

Still pissed that Arkham Origins isn't part of the Arkham Collection, so yes.

That depends.

If it's a package of a series from the NES, SNES, and PSX, preserve them all (except any CDI games).
If it's a series of 4 from PSX/PS2, preserve them all.
If it's just 2-3 games.... well, Tales of Symphonia only "remastered" (sic) the good one, not the bad one for a reason.

I'm fine with it as long as at least 70-80% of the games on the compilation are good.

The reason was being cheap. DotNW was part of Tales of Symphonia Chronicles and the new ToS doesn't meaningfully fix anything. So they could have thrown in the PS3 version of DotNW as well.

I got the PS2 DMC collection when it released.

Came with two great games and a free coaster.

if its a thing where leaving the bad game out would cause a conspicuous gap, then definitely put it in. Like dont just release a package of DMC 1 + 3, you gotta make it a trilogy.

but if youre doing another mass effect collection in ten years, youre allowed to leave off Andromeda

but but, Id generally be on the side of just throwing Andromeda or whatever in there too. As the purchaser of the compilation, its not like theres a downside to having more stuff. And for the game company its a pretty low cost way to increase the perceived value of the product.

That depends on if its inclusion comes at the expense of other games. Like, take the SNES mini, which they packaged to only have a certain number of games. If that had some clunkers at the expense of games I really wanted (which is a marginally true statement,) I would be upset. If the compilation is priced to consider that it has 20 games even though only 12 of them are any good, I'm probably going to pass. But if it's just thrown in as extra, then sure, who cares? At least I have access to it.

Completely depends on whether or not the bad game is necessary for making the collection feel 'complete'
