Oh bull.

Yes you can say 'just cause the original creator made it doesn't mean it's going to be good' but a guy who made three games before that were great is some pretty good legs to stand on compared to, "Some fans nobody's ever heard of are making a game hacking the original game's ROM and writing it themselves and since the first game - by completely different game designers - was good it probably will be!"

You have completely missed the point of those statements.

I just used Bayonetta as it was a fresh example in my head. Would you like me to come up with some more examples? I can certainly try.
