Right, but film quality is dependent on the optics used and the film-grain. Many films shot before the digital revolution are very high resolution, typically higher than digital. You just wouldn't have been able to tell by watching a VHS copy because it wouldn't have to been able to fit on a cassette with cheap magnetic tape. It's like if you bought a game that had four discs, but you had the option to play a lower fidelity version on one disc.

If you're saying what I think you're saying, yes? I wouldn't splice Thomas the Tank Engine into a movie (besides Fight Club), and I wouldn't just throw him into a game either. I like everything to look uniform; if it doesn't look like it belongs in the game, it doesn't.

Walt Disney adapted classic fairy tales and made them the way he wanted, I don't see why I shouldn't do the same with games.
We just want things to be, in our perception, perfect.That's all there is in life.

They already do that. I've got some VHS copies where the Original Star Wars trilogy got some CGI makeovers (e.g. Adding Hutt to a few scenes).
also, touch fight club and i'll mod p5 to be delayed to winter 2018
Yeah. Director's cuts exist.
Fan cuts can literally fix fundamentally broken, garbage movies.
You're anti-art. Verb. Anti-art, pro-IP.
He feels he's being more pro art than any of us.
I think my main question here is: Why do you consider the developer to know best? Why are they on a pedestal?
Another way to look at it is this--We're the judges, and they're the contestants. We're the professors, and they're the students.We evaluate their art the same way a teacher grades a test. If a game like Nier on PC experiences some bad frame rate issues that require external software to fix, then that's a mark against the game.What you don't do is fix their error for them and say "all better." No--if a game doesn't work right, and it needs mods to be fixed, you don't just let that slide. That's not what a judge does, because not only is that bad for the game; it also sets a bad precedent for the industry. They can release all the broken, unfinished games they want, because they know they have a community of shitheads and sycophants who will fix ALL their mistakes for them.That's terrible, and that's what you support if you like mods.
that's not what consumerism is
Not comparable to mods in any way.
If it's fundamentally broken, then it can't be fixed.
If it needs to be fixed, feel free to fix it, but realize that you're just pissing around with other people's hard work, and whatever shitty ideas you have to improve their art appeal only to you.
It's not, though--I appreciate art more than you ever could. You want art to be for you--I want it to be for everybody.
If my opinion is anti-art, then okay, fuck art.

Fundamental as in completely core aspects of the film are what make it bad. Guess what. Editing is a fundamental part of a film that can be easily redone.
me verb me spout nonsequiturs at increasingly rapid rate
You want it to be for the author exclusively.
It's honestly like you were chemically lobotomized in your infancy.
I think I understand how you perceive reality now. Everything is constructed through poorly matched analogies.It all makes sense.

the point of buying media is to be entertained, not for that media to be judged
entertainment is a better maxim than artistic integrity
