This was my big problem with Doom TDA. Felt like I was being led around like a lost child. Even secrets were like, obviously there and had paths leading to them. The combat was fine, if not a little tedious with the patented "shield doesn't take damage" enemies. Felt like a slog, honestly.

Live and let die I guess. This is an interesting case of what people's bubbles look like. I saw the thing on Netflix, don't think much of it, but I'm not in spaces where people think about this enough to put it in my face. Sorry that's not the case for you, I'm sure it's annoying, but I haven't seen it much, or I scroll past it I guess.
I remember growing up, piracy was the only way I could experience certain games when my old ass computer could actually handle it. Nowadays I do my best to pay for everything I consume and enjoy, content creators and all.
I don't think I would have the tastes or beliefs I do today if I never did it.
Not saying you're wrong, but my take was it was depth they wanted to add to give weight to later scenes but couldn't in the original for space and time reasons. I have no evidence to back that up.
It's probably an acquired taste at this point. I definitely understand why it's cringy, but I was a big fan of the original and when you got to read everything in your own internal voice, the context was a bit cleaner. JRPGs generally put Japan's culture and tendencies first, so it can be alienating when you don't get to fill in some blanks yourself. Assuming you're western.
I'm convinced these people don't actually like women. Sounds weird typing that out, but you'd have to be an absolute fool to not understand the context around make up in society and what attractive looks like.
Just like my favorite characters in Diablo 2, the assassin and druid... Oh shit wait
Correct, in fact your save file gets renamed "THIEF". To be fair though, the bow costs like 980 rupees. Maybe they intended to extend the game length some, but wanted to let the player feel like they figured out a secret.
Great feature either way.
He'll kill you if you successfully steal and come back after. He'll stop you if you are too slow on your attempt.
Dang love that OG paper and box that came with it. Man games used to have character included when you bought them physically. I miss it.
Someone remind me, wasn't the final boss of FF9 like the concept of hate or something?

It's one of those latent trends where it's not a "bad" game fundamentally, but rather it feels kinda soulless, and not really like doom as it was originally intended.
It's fine if you catch it on sale, IMO, but don't expect exploration, puzzle solving or labryinth stuff.
