How would you fix your favorite flawed games?

I can see where that person is coming from with Black Flag. The game is really fun and a lot of that is due to the pirate stuff which really does an excellent job of standing on its own to the point where the actual Assassin's Creed stuff can feel out of place and unnecessary. A lot of people felt the same way and just wanted a Black Flag without the Assassin's Creed 4 part, and this is probably why Skull & Bones became a thing... if it ever comes out.

I have my own issues with the Assassin's Creed games but this post seemed to me to be like a guy buying a vanilla ice cream and when you asked him if he liked it he said "it's okay, It'd be better with strawberries in it though".

I'd state it as someone who is used to chocolate chip ice cream suddenly getting chocolate chip cookie dough and going "Wow, these cookie dough pieces are amazing! How about we just get that?"

I feel it's more like if someone who really liked cookie dough ice cream went to the store and saw that they didn't have cookie dough ice cream but they did have chocolate cookie dough and went 'well that might also be good and it's better than nothing' and bought it. Then when they ate it they found the cookie dough as enjoyable as they expected but felt like the chocolate detracted from the overall ice cream experience.

Lesson learned: They should make more pirate games.

It's like someone made a game about ice cream and pirates, and the players decided they wanted more assassination, and so they made an assassination truck that's amphibious and sold ice cream to pirates and then assassinated them. And then they decided they didn't like ice cream any more.

I'm lost. How did we get here again?

I knew I shouldn't have used a food analogy.

It’s almost as if your analogy was an under-cooked steak

An undercooked steak is delicious, though. I’d say it was more like an over-cooked hamburger.

On topic... Burger Time needs a “continue” option so you can practice the later levels.

I prefer my ice cream pirate burgers medium rare.

But to veer back on topic, Alien Crush is a game I love, and I'd argue it's almost as good as Devil's Crush, but it's primary weakness is that instead of a scrolling playfield it has a screen-by-screen playfield. I don't know the technical details behind this decision, but I would love to have seen a later version of Alien Crush that introduced a scrolling playfield. I think that would have put the game pretty much on the level.

Another flawed gem is Blazing Heroes. It could be fixed with only 2 adjustments, but boy are those adjustments big.

1. Redo all the graphics assets from bad CG renders to hand-drawn.
2. improve the frame rate on the engine (the 3D maps are not complex 3D at all)

I like my analogies rare and barely edible.
