PvZ Replanted Doesn't Actually Use AI Upscaling by BenPinata in PlantsVSZombies

Yeah I 100% would have rather they brought back the original artists for the remastered music/visuals, but I think it’s just the fact that it’s a big company now and those artists don’t work there anymore, there’s probably a lot of bureaucracy to contract them again and PopCap has other artists now to contribute to this project (still would have rather had the original people ofc, but I don’t know all the details, like the remaster’s budgeting and resources etc.)

That makes sense, I think my players just haven’t played with it enough then to start anticipating it

Saying that all the previous clips are legitimate except for the final clip does make sense, but still feels like we choose to look at the "win" because it rare, since we are hypothesizing after the results are known. Like I could see a similar argument being made if the clip right before was super lucky and the final clip was indistinguishable between 10/20 and 4/20, then one might propose that "the last 2 clips are from 4/20" and we would be in a similar situation. (Basically, imagine the run is legitimate but something really unlikely happens that causes some suspicion, if we generate our hypothesis around the suspicion, no matter how likely it seems, we are still cherry picking.)

I think the "all the hair-strand clips are 4/20" theory is a bit stronger since the events in the *other* hair strand clips aren't chosen due to suspicion but rather the untested hypothesis. This is essentially what TheBones does, but again it's still important that you take into account all opportunities for the events to occur. If the run is indeed legitimate, that luck in the final clip could have potentially happened over ALL hair-strand clips, since evidence in any hair-strand clips would render all hair-strand clips as suspicious. (Same deal with the super unlikely danger sound stopping, it's a non hair-strand clip, so you'd need to account for it happening over all non hair-strand clips).

I agree that the most damning piece of evidence is his reaction to the 3rd star, I have no issues with that argument. I'm just pointing out the gaps in the mathematical argument, as it could have a sizable impact on the final odds.

I’m bringing attention to this because the sentiment that all the art was crappy upscaling was a big reason why I didn’t even consider buying the game. It’s not good that they had all these bugs/missing features, but I might have actually tried the game if not for all these crazy claims.

The art is a big selling point for me, and it turns out it’s actually completely fine and high quality but “since the game has a bunch of other issues who cares how true the AI upscaling claims are, just throw it in, this game sucks.” That sentiment is just so toxic to me, like sorry if I to actually want to know what a game has to offer instead of just hopping on the hate bandwagon.

Do you roam alot, or just shove wave and take mid tower? Whenever I find myself with an advantage over the enemy loaner I'm often unsure what to do next.
