For anyone who doesn't know or doesn't care, in 2020 some fuck nuggets decided to release a remake of an obscure (but a cult classic) cel-shaded shooter from 2003 called XIII - and it was one of the worst things in gaming history. Like, no joke, it was like 1000x worse than Cyberpunk or Fallout 76. I got this on PS4 and I literally never got past level 3 because the game was in such a sorry ass state that it kept crashing roughly 3-5 times per level, often making me lose a whole lot of progress. And if that wasn't bad enough, the game was bugged up the ass, which also often forced me into reloading a save because of numerous game-breaking bugs (ofc while hoping that the game wouldn't crash again while doing so).
So yeah, it was an absolutely miserable purchase, which I couldn't even refund because of Sony's dumb refund policy, as well as the fact that literally no one in the world gave a shit about this game. There was no widespread controversy that would force Sony's hand into refunding people like in the case Cyberpunk kerfuffle. I just had to swallow my tears and move on with my life.
Fast forward to two years later, and turns out that the publisher handed over this mess to some other developer who finally managed to bring it to playable state by releasing a chunky patch. Literally remaking a remake - lol. Although make no mistake, even though the game is finally playable, it's still inferior to the original in every imaginable way. But what the hell, I think, I'm just gonna go ahead and see what's up and maybe even shake hands with it. Bury the old hatchet, as they say. But here's where my jaw dropped because I noticed that they also released a PS5 "upgrade" (which - surprise, surprise - upgrades pretty much nothing) and here's the most appalling thing about it: these scum-sucking bastards expect me to pay 10 fuck-mothering dollars for the privilege of playing this shit fest on PS5?
Unbelievable.
This thing should have been given out for free for the shit they pulled two years ago. I don't even wanna hear about any arguments that the developers need to be paid for their work or whatever. It's this garbage publisher who should be paying their wages out of their own pockets for selling an unplayable dumpster fire of a game in the first place, and then also beg their customers to give it another chance. I hope these bastards will rot in hell where they belong.
Ok, now when I got that out of my chest - rant over. Thank you and apologies in advance for making my first thread about this bullshit.
