I don't know whether the reception of these videos is down to the fact that modern RE fans are some of the most rabid, bootlicking drones I've ever seen, or the fact that RE4R was probably the first time ever Crowbcat didn't pick a low hanging fruit that was already popular to shit on. Probably both. Anyway, just as with the first video, pretty much all of the discourse I've seen online seems to laser focus on the audio levels thing in an attempt to dismiss the video as a whole (which to be fair really is the weakest argument in both videos), while the other 95% of the video is handwaved away with a vague "pointless nitpicks" remark.
Who cares that Salazar looks like a weird granny? Who cares they turned the del lago easter egg into a cutscene? Who cares they neutered all of the transformation scenes? Who cares Ashley's AI is actually way more dogshit than in the original? Who cares a lot of the changes are clearly the result of market analysts pointing at the popularity of TLoU? Who cares they splattered a bunch of yellow paint everywhere? Who cares the enemy voice acting completely lacks the energy of the original? Who cares they relegated the laser sight to two weapons while everything else is stuck with a generic TPS crosshair, abhorrent weapon spread included? Who cares they went overboard in making everything le dark and scary, and actually cheapened the air of unsettlement the original had in the process? Who cares they padded out the game with a bunch of useless busywork? It's more content! Stop being such a miserable nerd and getting hung up on details bro, there's two cakes now!
Always the same song and dance with these cattlebrained {expletive for dumb people not allowed on Escapist}. Diminish and ridicule, no one is allowed to say they had their fill after the first cake and the second one kinda tastes like it rolled off a conveyor belt in an effort to cash in on the first one's reputation.
