My expectations for DRRR were at rock bottom and somehow I was still disappointed. It's very easy to tell that no thought went into any of the new gimmicks that were slapped onto this game, and it's also very easy to tell that Kart Krew didn't think anybody who wasn't them would play it. The...

Boy, it sure does feel good to be right after all this time.

I see we're taking the smallest babysteps imaginable towards fixing the underlying issues with reusability. It's a positive change for once, at least?

Why didn't we keep this thread dead? I swear to god this was locked like a week ago. Oh well. Shame on me for expecting anyone on this godforsaken site to do anything right, I guess.

The current GFZ1 doesn't "throw you into the deep end" at all. What are you talking about? It looks unnatural because there's no thok barriers. The thok barriers in GFZ1 currently are natural-looking level borders that convey to the player "Ok, the level doesn't extend beyond this point" in a...

Yes, which is why a remake is completely unnecessary. It's done, ship it. Don't Duke Nukem Forever this game now.

Well, this was certainly unnecessary. I can't express enough how much of a downgrade this is compared to what's currently in 2.2. The lack of thok barriers looks ugly and unnatural, and it seems to be totally devoid of any level design outside of "go up and down slope for the momentums". I can't...

Except for the fact that the reason the thok is being removed in the first place is because it supposedly isn't compatible with the upcoming physics/momentum changes. "Mod it back in!" is little more than a band-aid solution that doesn't address the fact that the thok would play and function...

Maybe the community should stop taking the mere existence of an alternative platform so seriously. The SRB2 community is merely reaping what it sowed.

You could say the same for any low quality mod on the MB that uses someone else's work in it. Or any SRB2 mod at all, portleg or not.

This is actually something I failed to talk about in my reusability video, but agree with wholeheartedly. Yes, people put effort into portlegs. "Portleggers" don't just choose random old mods out of a hat then shit out a portleg using arcane magic, they're made the same way as literally ever...

That's literally not true at all and I'd prefer if you'd stop trying to psychoanalyze me. In fact, I actually used to be very much in favor of their removal waaaaaay back when it actually happened (You can probably find messages related to this in the SRB2CS from when I used to be in there)...

I will ask this again because nobody has been able to give me a satisfactory answer for this: Why is giving credit not enough for you people?

What qualifies as a "legitimate" port? Go ahead, give me the arbitrary list of standards a port needs to meet to be considered "legitimate" in this community.

By this logic, SRB2 The Past isn't preserving anything even though that's exactly what it sets out to do. I really don't see why the newer, improved version of the game that's more accessible to new players needs to be gatekept behind reusability.
