As for RSE - I believe a lot of complaints were because of how they ditched the connectivity with previous gens - making the game have only 202 out of 386 possible Pokemon to catch - meaning only 67 of the previous 251 were obtainableAnother complaint I heard from a few people was lack of inclusion of prior regions, but we were just spoiled by GSC having Kanto.
"Classics" like the RBY starters were not obtainable at all
Of course, the release of FRLG fixed this, so it was no longer a problem after that
FF13 Trilogy.
FF13 Trilogy.
Oh, one more - Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. People were furious when that game was announced, and it launched to good but not exceptional reviews with a lot of criticism over the difficulty. This board always loved it though. However, when the Switch version came out, it actually reviewed a fair bit better despite being a quite barebones port.Why were people upset about a DKC sequel? I missed that discussion entirely.

Why were people upset about a DKC sequel? I missed that discussion entirely.Because everyone was looking forward to the next great Retro Studios game (it had been four years since their last one) and it turned out to be another Donkey Kong game
Anyway, this is an expansion but World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade. It was somewhat controversial at launch for a variety of reasons from lore to the new races or zones to gameplay being often viewed as a lull between Classic and Wrath of the Lich King. Now BC is viewed as one of the heights of the game though not as fondly as WotLK is.
I quit the game over Lich King. I got tired of waiting for an actual raid to come along. Burning Crusade was vastly superior to rerunning a dungeon I got to see during vanilla, I didn't like Uldum, and then we got a fake raid with the Grand Tournament. Maybe ICC was really good, but I didn't stick around to find out.
FF14 (for real, because 1.0 was a dumpster fire)
infamous review that got walled by the first fishing quest.Still one of the worst gaming articles ever written.
Also, I think there's a distinct difference between games where the reception has legitimately improved across the board, and where the people who dislike it just don't care enough to complain anymore. Despite MGS2 being mentioned several times in this topic, I don't think it's an example of legitimate improvement. The people who like it back in the day still do, for the same reasons, and the people who disliked it still aren't fans. It's just the former group still extol its praises while the latter has moved on. To put it simply: MGS2 hasn't gotten any stronger in a contest setting.
Most of the game mentioned in this topic so far seem like that to me, actually, except for Majora's Mask and Nier 1.
To put it simply: MGS2 hasn't gotten any stronger in a contest setting.It used to be weaker than MGS4 and now it's stronger :p
Congratulations on being part of the 1% that raided Naxx in Vanilla I guess? And Ulduar is legit a top 5 raid all time so thats a spicy take.
Still one of the worst gaming articles ever written.Which review was this? I didn't know about the game when it first came out, I missed the initial reception.
