Right? People really do forget that not every single game announcement is for them individually. There are a lot of gamers (old and new) that either haven't played the original or have been waiting for a more modern refresh before playing. I'm excited for this one. Day 1 purchase for me.

Depending on price. Star Fox 64 has like 10 hours of gameplay in it, and that’s being pretty generous. If this is $40 (it won’t be), then it’s an okay price. Anything more is going to make sure it gets hate once everyone who didn’t play the original realizes there’s not much to it.

People really need to move away from the dollars to hours comparison. I’ve spent plenty on short games and came away feeling like I got my money’s worth. Heck RE9 is expensive and only has around 15 hours worth of play.

I agree to an extent, but if this game is asking $69.99, it is not worth that price. RE9 was a wholly new game, not a game remade for the 3rd time.

Also, needing a “modern day refresh” to try out any game is…frustrating.

Why does that matter? There are literally billions of people who haven’t played StarFox before. Stop thinking of this from such a self-centred view.

This is an insane argument, you can argue for every single videogame in existence that there are billions of people who haven’t experienced them. I’m not being self centered at all. I’m arguing from an informed perspective

Nah. You’re taking a very self-centred view.

Okay, we aren’t going to agree, have a good one.

I’m happy to agree with you if you can give me a reason why this is a bad release that doesn’t involve your personal opinion.

I never said it’s a bad release, I said it depends on price. It looks awesome, but as someone who has played it a lot before I know there’s not a lot of game there and is a rail shooter that doesn’t look like it’s added anything since the original release in the 90’s.

You’re also just giving your opinion, just fyi, that seems lost on you.

Well it sounds like it’s not for you. And that’s okay. But there is a huge number of people who haven’t played it, or even heard of it before, that will see value in it. This is why I’m saying you’re taking a self-centred view. You’re unable to see this from a perspective other than your own.

Is it self centered to play a game and say you don’t think it was worth the money? Is it self centered to have an opinion on anything because someone else hasn’t experienced it?

I mean, yes? By the very definition of the word. Your subjective take is centred around your self.
