Tried playing BS2 Remastered today, it was given to me for free because i have the original... I see why it was given to me for free and I also see why they make sure you have to buy the shitty remastered version to have the original now too. The "REMASTERED" part of the title laughable, textures look slightly better but no way in hell they are 4k and water looks a TEENY TINEY bit better too, ya' know some extra rippling :/ ... the pay off for slightly better textures and "OH MUH GURD WATA LOOKS 1X BETTA!!!" ?
Crashes when you save
crashes when you use iron sites
crashes when you rescue a little sister
crashes when you harvest with a little sister
crashes when there is alot happening on screen
crashes when theres to many particles on screen
crashes when you use certain plasmids
crashes when you use the shotgun
the list goes on...
All that after almost 2 years of it being released and 2 patches, CONINCIDENTALY both patches being released around christmas time and both times steam didn't tell me it was updated (nor was there a FINISHED plate in the download section) so i wonder if they were updated atall :/.
Edit: Infact, after booting up the original i'd say it actually looks BETTER than the remastered version as the shadows look WAY more moody...the sound effects are also better on the original as they have a distance factor to them, thats gone in the remastered ..
