I'm totally noob on this series, but i heard that people prefer the original FM2 version over the remake, why is that? censorship? bad translation? bugs and glitches?
There is a lot more issues than you think since I beaten the Remake version more than multiple times and here is the list of issues presented on the game :
1. Battle animation are stripped down to FM1 Remake style instead of the Original FM2 which totally ruined the aesthetic of the game and when the battle animation happened, the wanzer sometimes still persist on Battlefield desipte they are completely destroyed during battle and this will give you lots of annoying things happened on the map.
2. The accuracy of weapon are completely misleading due they did not calculate the Terrain effect, weapon accuracy modifier etc especially on Long-range weapons like Rockets, Missiles, Bazzokas and Cannons always prone to miss even if says 90% Hit but in reality like 70% or below due the terrain effect are being excluded. FM2 Original version have much more accurate Hit Rate while Remake doesnt care abut it thus miss shots are very common.
3. If you recruit Arena teams during POW Camp revisit on later stages, you should not save too much in the mission because they will gone and your squad will be pinched on both sides instead of your own team on the front while the Arena squad holding enemies from backside.
4. Translation on Remake are meh at best with lots of typos and mistranslated everywhere, its like they just MTL and did not even tried to proofreading it.
5. Even with 2 years of updates, there are so many issues everywhere in the game and sometimes your game get crashed without warning and you need to restart the game few times in order to make it run.
6. The Wanzers are STIFF and PLASTICKY due the effect of Unity games and the polish effect makes the Wanzers feel Low-quality build instead of High-quality build.
7. Savefiles are mostly corrupted and even if you make multiple savefiles on the game, there will be few corrupted one and you need to remove them for good. Also, I dont reccomend save the game during battle because you will realized that so many bugs happened like I said in Point 1 and 3 which completely destroy your progress and start from the beginning once again.
8. The atmosphere of the mission getting toned down so much that I dont feel like playing Remake version but instead I play on DEMAKE version of it. The Original version is way superior than the Remake and you can feel it immediately during mission play.
In the end, the Devs who make FM1-3 Remake are INEXPERIENCED and WORSE like how Rockstar did on GTA Trilogy with GSG Devs which caused almost infinite issues presented during the launch and still bugged after so many updates to this date.
