>bro, this is a game, why are these bosses so bad? isn't a video game supposed to be fun?
>Well actually, that's the point. See, it's not supposed to be fun. It's actually supposed to be scary and atmospheric first, and gameplay dead last.! Look, I'm fighting this boss right now. Can you smell that? That's my piss and semen and excrement mixed with the pus from the hole where my penis used to be. I am so fucking scared!
>Are all classic fans like this?
>Fans? We fucking hate this series.

>It also completely missed the point of a slow-burn, atmospheric horror game, where the regular enemies being feminine creatures were easy prey for James, a male, who only struggled against other males.
OH MY SCIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENCE! LOOK AT THE SLOW BURN, ATMOSPHERIC HORROR! I AM LITERALLY SHITTING AND PISSING AND EATING MY PISS AND SHIT!

This, I was shocked by how utterly depressing and eerie the combat's tone was in the original.
