    I’ve never watched a different cut of a movie made specifically because people didn’t like the original

    Personally I’ve been meaning to watch Terminator 3: The Coming Storm for precisely that reason. I’ve also enjoyed plenty of modded games that change the original because the developer’s vision wasn’t all that great in many people’s opinion.

    I’ve only seen director cuts that more closely align with their vision. Which is what fromsoft essentially does

    Project 4K77 is Star Wars as it was originally released but the director doesn’t want that version to be available anymore.

    Just throwing that out there.

      I totally think people should mod their games to their liking. But here the people who want to change the game are mad the developers didn’t make it to their liking in the first place.

      Just mod it, especially when the developers have specifically said they make these games for an exact experience.

      Star Wars despecialized is very cool but we had to accept Lucas didn’t care for the original like we did and it was up for someone to independently go and create the modified work. Fan work and mods are fine and great and they exist to fill this exact need because the original creator has vision and preferences too.

        Is your complaint that people have a different opinion of the games as delivered? I’m afraid you’ve lost me.

          They’re falsely framing advocates asking FromSoft for an easy mode as people calling FromSoft ableist and demanding that Dark Souls be canceled. They listened to a few too many Gamer Bros™ and don’t have an actual thought-out opinion here.

          My complaint is that people take issue with these specific games being too difficult and not having accessibility features when it’s essentially designed by one guy who holds himself to be an artist that specifically wants to make these games exactly how he makes them.

          It’s just the wrong games over which to make it an accessibility issue because they’re inherently mechanical/physical and it necessarily butts up against the simple right of a guy to make his own games like that
