How in the world can anyone claim that the expectations were too high? Is this your very first day on Reddit? When the games were just rumors, people couldn't stop predicting that they'd be unimpressive and lazy. Then they were rated and people kept predicting they'd be unimpressive and lazy. Then the pricing was announced and people kept predicting they'd be unimpressive and lazy.

Now they're out and people are detailing all of the ways in which they find them to be unimpressive and lazy.

NOBODY expected these to be fully rebuilt remakes with PS5 graphics and endless QOL enhancements and bonus features and other shit. Everyone knew they were remasters from the very beginning. The thing is, just because they're remasters doesn't mean they get a free pass to be unimpressive and lazy.
