      They also didn't advertise it at all and just shat it out.

      Pretty clearly a "we're contractually obligated due to the licensing agreement we signed" kind of release.

        Yeah that calarts "splash" really spiced up the graphics did it?
        Low poly everything instead of the detailed spritework?
        Music is mastered like shit, and somehow uses less channels than the GBA did. (probably connected)
        It literally plays slower, not even an argument if you've played either game , 2/3rds speed at best.
        >lets just smear Black folk all over it too why not
        But why?
        And apparently it was a big enough deal that you had to deboonk it.
        Seriously why?

        This isn't an argument by the way, I'm right and the game bombed.

        >looks
        Units are far less distinguishable than the originals
        >plays
        The AI’s fog behavior is much fairer but power activations, AI decision speed, AI decision making (especially in War Room), and the absurd decision to hide loaded units HP when using transports make it a slog to play. AW2 GE Factory is an annoyingly slow map in the originals and that goes double for the remaster
        >sounds
        Outside of clear winners like Sensei, Hachi, and Adder, or decent reinterpretations like Jess and Sturm, a lot of the remaining CO themes either have shitty audio balance at best or outright gutted them. Hawke’s theme got done real dirty

        there's a long blackscreen for when the game loads the battle animations, something that wasn't there in GBA
        the poorly designed art of the units and backgrounds also can arguably be said to hinder gameplay. MD tanks and regular tanks are impossible to tell at a glance, for one

        If a game goes out of its way to put brown people or strong women or whatever in my face, then I know that I'm going to end up taking at least 2 points off on a 1-10 scale (usually more). This isn't always because they were done in an incredibly obnoxious manner, but because they show that the developer prioritizes the wrong things, so it's likely that some other part of the game is poorly done or pedestrian. It represents corporate box-ticking and submission to ideological propaganda instead of a dedication to quality or commitment to a unique artistic vision. It's like Batesian Mimicry: even if some yellow butterflies aren't poisonous, an animal will still avoid consuming any yellow butterflies because of what the yellow could represent. That's not good for a company putting out a consumer good whose purpose is to be consumed. Indeed, the other replies to your post seem to indicate that my instincts are probably correct yet again.

    They tried to de-warify the game for the sake of good PR where the game looks like a war room instead of a battlefield. I think in this case the delay hurt the game because Nintendo tried to wait out the war. When they couldn't they just released the game hoping people will forget about it.

      Well it never hit the million list.
      It hit 400k after 3 months seeing as how they announced that but never 500k.
      So it's 400k+ copies after a full dev cycle amd 2 delays worth of wages and overhead.
      Of a 2nd party legacy series.
      It's dead.
