Origin being bought by EA was the mistake. That started Origin's downfall.

While we'll never know if Richard Garriott would have lost his game-making chops had Ultima lived on under his leadership, it would have been interesting to see what might have been with an Ultima that didn't have The Guardian.

It wasn't. It was a boring, repetitive collectathon with no personality and lacking in challenge.

The sequel improved upon it in nearly every way. Better mission design, world design, combat, platforming, challenge, replayability, variety, story, and writing. Honestly I feel like the people who prefer the first game are intellectually stunted in some way.

Excessively high difficulty, overly-busy graphics and textures (especially with the lighting jesus fuck), and the game's new additions to Lara's abilities added nothing of worth.

Core Design was great up until 1996. Then they forced to shurn out sequels quickly and had to hire new people. As talented devs get the spotlight, the company grows and becomes more business like, what was the passion project of a handful of talented devs becomes a desk job for new recruits.
People will tell you "publishers don't make games", but publisher decisions is precisely why TR3 and 4 suck.

>>11004784
For Dreamcast and Xbox, absolutely not. Less compatible with everything, less accurate data for actually playing and the checksums will never match anything you'll rip yourself.
For other consoles, sure. PSX, Saturn, Sega CD and PS2 redumps are fine and their checksums should match any proper rips you make.
For PC games, no. You should either use CloneCD for accuracy or bin+cue alongside nocd patches without caring about checksums at all.
I don't know enough about 3DO, Jaguar CD and such to say whether Redump is worth shit for them. Just know that Redump is a project to accurately copy the discs, they could not give less of a shit about whether those dumps are in any way playable on anything.
