After 40 years of innovations and improvements to the genre, THIS is how you decide to remake this game??? WHAT A FUCKING JOKE. I despise how the Steam page likes to pretend that there was no other way the gameplay could've been improved, and that AI is the ONLY way, as if to completely disregard the Famicom port. I'm not gonna pretend I even can compare this game to the original PC version, but Jesus Christ I can't see how AI improves the gameplay at all. The game can only recognize keywords when presented in the most dry and direct way anyway, so I eventually started typing my commands as if they were pre-determined phrases. You know, like the Famicom version. And only then did the game actually give me results. But even then the amount of times Yasu has no idea what you're saying or misinterprets what your saying is so frequent that I legitimately wanna commit my own Portopia Serial Murders.
Square Enix can fuck all the way off if they think this is an acceptable way to preserve video game history. Honestly, I'd rather play Famicom Detective Club: The Missing Heir. That's a game I hate on a personal level, but at least there was an attempt to present that game in a modern way that didn't completely shit on video game history.
