[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8605505, member: 22779"] Well, they were really both pretty garbage action movies. I probably liked the first one better, but, that doesn't make it a better movie. And considering how many absolutely fantastic remakes there are out there of various properties, claiming that all remakes are bad isn't particularly defensible. It's not like Doctor Who is bad. Latest Ghostbusters is pretty well receive. in D&D terms, the Curse of Strahd is probably the best version of Ravenloft ever. New Battlestar Galactica. On and on. "I don't like remakes" is a perfectly fine POV. "All remakes are bad" is indefensible and simply shows your own preferences. Do I always like the newer stuff? Nope. Not at all. I'm still waiting for a Warlord. :D But, the difference is, I have no problems, really, with simply choosing the stuff I like and completely ignoring the stuff I don't. I've never based my identity as a gamer on whether or not my personal preferences lined up with D&D's official releases. Heck, even back in 3e, I owned far more 3rd party stuff than official. And, I completely ignored published settings in AD&D. So, yeah, the current crop of books aren't to my taste? Not a problem. I've got a thousand other options out there. What I'm not doing is pissing and moaning at every opportunity about how WotC is "abandoning" anyone. [/QUOTE]
