Remakes are always going to sell no matter how fucking trash it is because it still has a skeleton of a good game even if a few bones go missing or twisted. And people are always going to defend remakes because they made that franchise a part of who they are and the conflate criticism with themselves and the original even if they don't realize it.

Like look at this, claiming a decades old mystery has been solved while using the remake of SH2, conflating the two games as one.

It's ok to admit you have bad taste in games, just don't cope about how said bad game is actually good.
