Idk how to feel about this, like wtf...
Hideo Kojima, reportedly changed the game halfway through because playtesting results were "too good," and he doesn't want his work to be "mainstream."
"Then he said, 'I’m going to be very honest, we have been testing the game with players and the results are too good. They like it too much. That means something is wrong; we have to change something.' And he changed stuff in the script and the way some crucial stuff [happens] in the game because he thought his work was not polarizing and not triggering enough emotions."
I kinda see where he is coming from but good lord I hope he knows why DS1 was so good because of the meditative experience but also cause it's mixed with massive amounts of dopamine to enhance that. With the price and this I could end up playing DS1 again instead of DS2 and waiting for a sale.
