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.
Pretty sure the Borderlands 1 remaster was solid. Mostly just updated some graphics and added more unique weapons afaik. Might've introduced a few new bugs here and there, but I guess compared to most remasters that's hardly egregious.
Bioshock 1 and 2 remasters are solid too as far as I'm aware.
Metro series enhanced editions have some mixed opinions from fans, but I thought they were pretty well done. Admittedly, I didn't play enough of the originals to know what some of the gameplay changes done with guns and other equipment.
As much of a mess as Skyrim Special Edition was early on, it made absolute sense to release an updated version to support 64-bit. The Anniversary edition however was an absolutely retarded cash cow that no even wanted.
Wasn't Anniversary edition mostly just a collection of creation kit mods and other junk anyway?
Yup, exactly. And it put a bit of a damper on modding and compatibility for a little while as a result, after having 2-3 years or so to flourish without game updates fucking something up.
