I can assure you that when Castlevania jumped on the 3D wagon for the N64 the consensus was very united in agreeing it wasn't good. Legacy of Darkness, Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness were more mixed, but the initial result was much more clear.

Because the game hhas to change for this to work and not everyone likes the changes?

well it's one of the biggest changes a series can go through. even if they do a good job at translating the gameplay faithfully, it's still going to be a significantly different kind of game.

It's called the Polygon Ceiling

You cant play a 3d game like you do with a 2D one. There is just no way, except for when they make it 2.5D...but lets just not do that.

I say its weird because if a series stays 2D, it can be accused off not evolving in a way. But after shifting into 3D, the changes made inevitably split fan reactions. 

Its like a no win situation. 

There's no point in fretting over it. 

Yea, I suppose. I'm just musing about it, because it inevitably means I have to deal with people who either like something that I hate, or hate something I like lmao.

it's a no-win situation if the win condition is "everyone is happy all the time and nobody complains" but that's so obviously impossible that it's not worth worrying about
