So I had a solid play through of C&C recently, somewhat enjoyed it though I found the level design extremely frustrating in some cases and that was more to do with the original game than anything else remaster wise. However it turns out there's an extremely well known bug that hasn't been fixed where when you get to Soviet Mission 12 technically two bugs because it involves units suddenly becoming invincible for no reason and the fog of war not going away. Finished the Allied Campaign with zero problems.
This along with Baldur's Gate 2 in particular and their cultural vandalism of trying to introduce a bisexual character ( forgotten what she was supposed to be exactly but it was the wild mage ) in the game for no fucking reason makes me feel that remasters just shouldn't be a thing. Even with the best of intentions they seem to introduce bugs and never fix them and then to make matters worse because they deliberately wipe the original from the stores that means you can't get the game that would run absolutely fine without resorting to piracy.
Full re-work of the game or bust as far as I'm concerned, use the old assets if you have them, but I don't ever want to see them re-using horribly buggy and glitched code and they should put it on an up to date engine too to prevent problems.
For me it’s just that the memory of why I like the game also includes a bunch of intangibles that are very much a time and place. Sure you remember how great the game was but maybe you were also playing that game at your grandmothers house. Or you and your best friend were playing it all summer. Years later you can’t replicate those other emotions and experiences so it always feels hollow and unsatisfying.
