Its a good game, and was especially so for the time it released. However, it’s also the kind of thing that once you’ve finished there’s not much reason to go back and do it again. Maybe after a decade I would play it again for $5, but its not so fun that I would drop $20 on it.
As a fan, 20$ is surely the wrong pricepoint for it, unless it’s one of those strategies that I’m seeing popping up more and more about having the dyiehard price followed quickly by a 50% cut (that’s just the reasonalbe expected price).
I’ve never played it and that’s exactly what it seemed like from the article. Anytime a audio/developer releases an Anniversary Edition or something similar it’s just a cash grab that plays off of people’s nostalgia for the game (I’ll admit, I’ve bought Skyrim multiple times) and usually doesn’t change much, if at all.
At least Skyrim, for all the general re-releasiness, was bringing the game to new platforms (VR was great BTW, even if I didn’t play it super long), and the additional PC release moved it to 64bit, which there was an actual reason to do. They milked it for sure (and fuck their paid mod system), but there were legitimate reasons to buy the new versions.
I don’t know what the reason to buy this again would be.
Not really surprised. I bought it and it didn’t seem all that improved over the original version. It was a cash grab that failed.
