It's Square and they are greedy fucks, but there is plus side.
It will drop in price 50% after barely a month. On steam they will probably try to play tough cuck with full price, but they will hit wall and after 2 weeks - 3 months will also drop to 50% at least.
And then be in awe and asking themselves why their games don't sell

The marketing at Square Enix failed to realize that when the Naked Gun series did this on their titles, it was as a joke.

I actually thought the same thing. I know that "remaster" or "HD" are generic but at least they are accurate and people know immediately what is going on.

In vidya we have shit like Serious Sam First and Second Encounter and other goofy names for sequels. You can't really assume people will just figure out if 1.5 is a remake, a release with all the DLC included, an expansion or an entirely new game.
The WiiU showed that such assumptions that the customer will just know can backfire pretty badly.
Plus, games are often bought by parents as presents and how are they supposed to figure that shit out?

Cuckdom Hurts is the most autistic franchise I have ever seen. There have been phases where they shat out a new entry every fucking years.
Sometimes this was an actual new game (to further convolute the already convoluted mess that is the "epic" KH saga). More often than not it's a remake that true-and-honest fans have to buy because these remakes retcon shit and introduce new characters and plot threads that will totally be important in the next game.

>people are defending this

They are defending this because now they don't have to keep buying different consoles to keep up with all the KH releases

So you're saying that those releases are exactly as convoluted as the numbering system?
One shouldn't habe to consult a game wiki just to figure out what part of the game series you're even getting.

Ah, but you see, they're "totally not 'retcons,' because Nomura was very clearly planning these plot convenient coincidences + hints in earlier titles several years in advance, which is absolutely genius mystery-box-tier foreshadowing, to be quite honest. And every single entry, from the Final Mixes to the mobile shovelware to the $60 rhythm game, are all 100% canon & extremely necessary to play in order to understand the deep, complexitive narrative of the entire series going forward. It's not hard to understand the reason Ventus looks like Roxas is because Roxas took on the appearance of Ventus when the latter's soul migrated into Sora's heart during the events of the prequel game & Roxas is essentially a hybridized being composed of Sora's Nobody whilst taking the form factor of Ventus' physical manifestation. Based Nomura! Based Nojima!"
At least, that's what /v/ tells me.

Why are they wasting time re-releasing Kingdom Hearts when they could be re-releasing The Bouncer?

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

Because The Bouncer is attached to FF8, not FF7, and Squall just doesn't sell as much as Cloud.

I played a little of that werewolf gay sex simulator that Razorfist was streaming, and good God it was garbage.
Generic, ultra linear stealth segments in which you are only allowed to use takedowns on some of the enemies, and your trusty gay crossbow to destroy some cameras.
When someone spots you, and it's going to happen sooner or later because you can't hide bodies and some enemies can't be killed in stealth mode, you will turn into a werecuck and the segment will turn into a shitty God of Soy clone, with no block and terrible camera.
Rinse and repeat for the whole thing, which is also apparently very short (6 hours, but i uninstalled it before the end).
The story is the same bland, generic shit you can see in Cameron's Avatar, the characters' models look like shit (especially the wahmen, what were the odds?) and the voice acting sucks.
Literally every character, protagonist included, is ok when they just talk, but when it's time to convey emotions they either sound like robots or become comical.

The Kratos clone's voice and shitty acting sounded familiar, so i checked the credits and guess what, it's our friend DicklessCuck Douglas.
How these hacks can still find jobs is beyond me.
