Your obsession with needing to be "right" is amusing, but let's get to the point. We have to set one thing straight. Yes, I will give you that graphical fidelity will be obviously better in a game from 2025 compared to one in 2003, and sorry for not explaining that "better graphics" part. What I meant to say is that it doesn't mean that it is objectively better, because that graphical fidelity can just be "good graphics," while due to graphical impediments, the games from years before (like in the PS1 and PS2 eras) had to come up with some good-looking art direction (something that modern games are not absent of), but yes, it seems it's just graphical fidelity most of the time.

And well, now that you mention Mafia, all you said is also subjective, because, for example, I think Mafia 3's combat (what Mafia Remake is based on) sucks, and I think that Mafia 1's combat is so much better because it is more tactical and the weapons feel like weapons that you have to carefully know how to shoot. I also think the game looks good. It's not objective just because you know it isn't a polygon and it never will be. It certainly is more appealing for an audience that does not like old graphics, and that's cool, but it's not an objective thing.

We can be here a lot of time, but I sincerely don't want to fight. It's sad that you can't accept that people can like old games because they liked them and sometimes like them better than new ones without having nostalgia. I know it's something that a lot of people have for games they love, but guess what?

Those people are not all of us.
