So you proved me wrong by telling me that many of them are just lazy ports instead of remasters. Good job...
Well, if you really want to get pedantic, I guess we could start throwing every cross-gen game into your list. Is a straight port of a game released to current-gen after its last-gen counterpart a cross-gen game or a remaster? If the the former, then that opens the door for calling every cross-gen game ever a "lazy port." If the latter, then how far apart do the release dates need to be to be considered one or the other? If you put a sharp dividing line, then that raises further issues. There are fuzzy boundaries in place. While the current-gen version of GTAV is an unambiguous remaster (significant improvement to visuals, new content), the status of other games aren't so obvious and may really be no more of a remaster than, say, the PS4 & XBO versions of COD: Advanced Warfare.
Resident Evil Remaster HD is not a 20 year old game. Its a HD remake of a Gamecube game. People keep telling me that Wind Waker HD is just as bad as TLOUR, well then this one should also be considered bad.
Grim Fandango came out the same year as OOT and people compare OOT3D to other remasters, so it should count as well.
Point being, they're older games. They came out before the seventh generation. RE:HD is a remaster of a 2002 remaster of a 1995 game. Big whoop. If you or anyone else wants to complain about them, I guess you should all be complaining about every remastered game ever, because it seems that for some people there is no statute of limitations and that no game should ever be remastered. Tell me, do you really find remasters that horrible of a thing? Is it really worth getting worked up about? Nobody is forcing you to buy these games, nobody forced you to early-adopt (I assume you have a current-gen system; otherwise your complaints wouldn't make sense because you wouldn't be affected by any of this), and these remasters likely have no real impact on the development of new games.
I don't know how long you've been playing video games, but I've been at it for at least 30 years. I've seen it all before. You know the old sayings "Everything old is new again" and "Nothing new under the sun"? Same thing applies to video games. Everything that's being complained about today isn't new. Cross-gen games, remasters, even half a dozen versions of Street Fighter. This has all gone on for many years. The only thing new is the volume of complaints, amplified by the echo chamber that is the internet. It's people making mountains out of molehills. It's nothing so severe as to make a big fuss about it.
