Agreed, but at the same time, that's like saying "in the world of Domino's, Little Caesar's isn't a bad deal." It doesn't make Little Caesar's a good deal, it just means that it could be worse. There are better options, and they're not overpriced re-releases.
$20 is a good deal for a high definition re-release. I'm sorry you didn't keep up with GWG but that's hardly their fault.
Indeed, most all of them should do this. Minecraft's done the best so far, giving 75% off of the Xbox One version to anyone with the 360 version in his play history. The way Halo's re-release was done, they at least gave you 2 remasters of games more than a decade old, plus two other games and all of the DLC for $60. Even though it came broken, it's probably still the remaster gold standard of the generation, to me.
I mean, even if I had gotten it with GWG, I wouldn't pay $20 to get it again. Like I said, got it for under $15 on Steam. I'm not even saying I deserve anything for this, or even that I want anything from it. I'm just saying that while this is better than the mess of most remasters, I still think it's only decent, not great. I just don't think games less than 5 years old need remastered (less than 3, in this case).
Gears UE is a complete overhaul and for those who liked gears 1 it's a must own.
I disagree on Gears. I loved the first game (was OK with the second, mostly played the third's campaign to finish the story, never touched Judgment). If they'd done like Bethesda and included the other games as free BC downloads, I might agree. Even with a graphics overhaul and some improvements to gameplay and online playlist offerings, $40 is just more than I care to pay for a game whose campaign I beat in 2006-2007 (multiple times) and whose online I probably got bored of in 2008. I'm sure I'd enjoy myself for a bit if I picked it up, but I honestly would have been more-likely to purchase a Judgment re-release, even though it wasn't a good game, just because I haven't played it before.
