* The 2024 remaster of the first three ''Franchise/TombRaider'' games had an issue with items being difficult to see in the new lightning engine. The issue was very prevalent in the first game due to the lighting system making objects like keys blend in with the surroundings to the point of looking nearly invisible and the fact that the first game doesn't have flares like the later games did. The devs would release a patch that would make the keys look a lot brighter so that they're much easier to spot.
** The remaster also made a change to the third game's NoGearLevel where the room that contained Lara's pistols would also have her ammo and health kits that were also taken from her, finally allowing players to recover their supplies after having to deal with the original version of the game where no such luxury existed.

** The Linking Cord quickly became infamous among the fan base due to how easy it is collect them (given as a reward for reaching level 3 friendship with a friend) and the game having very few Pokémon that use them for evolving. An update on [[https://pokemongohub.net/post/sleep/pokemon-sleep-maintenance-and-version-1-0-13-update/ November 16, 2023]] lets you trade a Linking Cord for five Candies of a random Pokémon that evolves with it.
** Free to play players complained how difficult it was to collect diamonds, biscuits, and other items, which made the game more difficult. An update in December 2023 added a daily free gift feature that gives players a free item or diamonds everyday.
** At the end of March 2024, two different bugs occurred; there was a particularly nasty bug where attempting to collect berries or ingredients would display an error and boot the player back to the title screen. This happened on a Sunday where the pot size to cook ingredients is doubled so it was a pretty rough blow for everyone trying to power up their Snorlax. To compensate, the developers gave everyone three Helper Whistles, an item that gives out three hours worth of collected berries and ingredients. Another bug occurred shortly after where, upon using a Raikou Incense, only its one star sleep style would appear regardless of whether or not you qualified to see its other sleep styles. To make up for it, the developers gave everyone one Raikou Incense and one Raikou Biscuit as well as boosting Drowsy Power by 1.5 for the weekend.

** When it was announced that the Warriors of Chaos, one of the most pivotal factions in the setting, would be available as the preorder DLC for the first game, the fandom went into an uproar over this business decision. Not only would they have to pay extra to play the faction, but the Warriors of Chaos were missing a lot of options for their army roster, especially regarding marked warriors. CA would take steps to rectify this decision. Initially, they made the DLC completely free for those who bought the game one week after it launched. However, the faction would eventually be salvaged following the release of the ''Champions of Chaos'' DLC for the third game which added marked warriors to their roster and heavily reworked and updated their playstyle.

The controversy became so prevalent that it led to CA delaying their intended DLC roadmap in order to address the complaints. They eventually settled on adding more content to the DLC to justify the price increase and standardizing the included content to make sure all featured factions were treated equally.

* In the ''VideoGame/AdvanceWars'' series, both Missiles and Battleships are often seen as AwesomeButImpractical at best, and outright worthless at worse owing to being ''vastly'' overpriced and the very poor range and movement of the Missile unit. In ''Days of Ruin'' both of these were given ''massive'' buffs to make them far more useful: the Missile was given one extra attack and movement range which, when coupled with the additional aerial units, makes them a far more versatile (if still expensive) unit, while the Battleship was given a discount and the overpowered ability to ''move and attack in the same turn'' which, along with other {{nerf}}s to balance this out (reduced ammo and movement range) still made it far more useful overall.

** In ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar'', the normally talkative [[BigBad Bowser]] has [[SilentAntagonist no dialogue]]. This wasn't a well-received change by fans; they felt his dialogue was a huge amount of what makes Bowser appealing in other Mario RPG games, so ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPaperJam'' and ''VideoGame/PaperMarioColorSplash'', gave him back his voice.
** ''VideoGame/PaperMarioColorSplash'' made several saving throws after the criticism ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar'' received:
*** ''Sticker Star'' was jeered relentlessly for most of its cast being more or less indistinct Toads with the personality of... well, [[{{Pun}} paper]]. For ''Color Splash'', while the issue wasn't fixed per-say, the writing was ''much'' sharper and sincerely funny, managing to give even the near-identical Toads distinctive personalities. There were also more non-Toad [=NPCs=] like FriendlyEnemy Bowser forces.
*** ''Sticker Star'' had many generic environments, especially when compared to the areas of previous Mario RPG's. ''Color Splash'' brought back the more detailed levels and had them connect better than ''Sticker Star'' did.
*** The battle system in ''Sticker Star'' was considered to be a waste of time and unrewarding due to the lack of experience and no reward other than coins (many of which were only gained if the battle was won without taking damage; something that is hard to do with most attacks without spending coins to let you use more stickers) and more stickers. ''Color Splash'' added ways to permanently increase the number of attacks used per turn without spending coins and had some cards that let you use multiple attacks with a single card making it much easier to win battles quickly. Hammer Points were also added as a kind of experience system.
*** The Thing system was overhauled. In ''Sticker Star'', being able to use a Thing required you to backtrack and turn the Thing into a sticker; additionally the system was a total GuideDangIt, especially for bosses. ''Color Splash'' overhauled the system so that Things were automatically turned into cards when you got them and added a hint system to tell you what Thing was needed next (though it will not tell you if multiple Things are needed on two separate things in the same level, but that is still better than ''Sticker Star'').
*** Bosses were considered [[AntiClimaxBoss anticlimactic]] in ''Sticker Star'' due to the battles being a case of using the appropriate Thing at the appropriate time and watching the HP lower to the point that one attack will finish them off. In ''Color Splash'', some bosses that do not need a Thing to get defeated; in battles where a Thing is needed, the Thing is used to stop a powerful attack or make it vulnerable, meaning bosses are actually fun to fight.

So extreme was the change that a popular theory at the time was that [[spoiler:the "Redfield"]] that showed up was an imposture, which Capcom had to [[{{Jossed}} deny]]. By ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'', [[spoiler:Chris]] was [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/residentevil/images/8/81/Resident_Evil_8_announcement_trailer_screenshot_4.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20200611213626 back]] to looking like he had previously.

** After some backlash from ''VideoGame/Persona3'' and ''VideoGame/Persona4'' in regards to what came off as occasional moments of DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale, the relationships between girls and boys of the Phantom Thieves was done up in a more understanding manner. The boys for their part don't get their perv on all that often, and Ann (who gets this treatment the most) only really retaliates ''once'', during the desert drive sequence, even though Ann's storyline could have already justified her being particularly sensitive about this type of behavior. Then when it comes to the actual beatings, the two that are delivered aren't done without a justifiable cause and thankfully have nothing to do with the guys being creepy towards the ladies in question ([[PervertRevengeMode intentionally]] or [[UnprovokedPervertPayback otherwise]]): Ryuji getting his ass handed to him when he makes fun of the girls for [[spoiler:crying at his near-death experience]] can be considered fair [[BaseBreakingCharacter to some players]], and of course, the ''epic'' beating Joker gets for romancing all the girls at once is considered ''completely fair'' to everyone.
** After two main line entrees, plus several spin-off titles, having [[LightEmUp Hama]] and [[CastingAShadow Mudo]] be instant kills with low chances of hitting, ''Persona 5'' revamps the two elements into being, offensively speaking, similar to the other spells available in game by changing them to ''Bless'' and ''Curse'' respectively, allowing the player to use both elements on enemies weak to it without wasting SP on a unreliable instant kill. This also makes fighting enemies who use them less difficult since instead of only having instant kills, they can now be challenging without being unfair.

[[BigCreepyCrawlies While the Bug type saw some success in Heracross and a few other Gen 2 Pokémon]] and some Bug moves introduced in ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl'' helped to alleviate issues with Bugs falling off after the second gym, Unova went the extra mile to make a collection of Bug Pokémon that put them on the map as serious choices for a team. There is not a single 'bad' Bug in Unova; each and every one of them maintain viability into endgame, and one of them (Volcarona) has been a high-tier staple in competitive play since introduction. Part of this came from the Bugs also generally having cooler, more varied designs; there isn't a single Bug/Flying Pokemon in Unova, allowing the devs to make different sorts of insects stand out. While Generation 6 dialed back the viability of Bugs a bit, Gen 7 and on has continued the trend that Gen 5 started in making Bugs viable.
** ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'' created Mega Evolutions to power up Pokémon that were well-liked (particularly Charizard) but fans were complaining about because they were useless in competitive battle.
** ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl'' explicitly stated that Pokémon training is consensual for both parties, and that the reason Pokémon have to be weakened before capture is actually a SecretTestOfCharacter on the ''Pokémon's'' part, in order to prove that the trainer is worthy of them. This is damage control toward the accusations that the series glamorizes blood sports like cock and dogfighting.
** [[EnsembleDarkhorse/{{Pokemon}} Mewtwo]] was, for years, depicted as a [[OlympusMons god-like]] BloodKnight [[SingleSpecimenSpecies who is one of a kind]]. His depiction in ''[[Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' in particular ''made'' Mewtwo in the eyes of many. So when ''[[Anime/PokemonGenesectAndTheLegendAwakened Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' featured a brand new Mewtwo who was [[LighterAndSofter softer and more feminine]] than the original... [[ReplacementScrappy the fans didn't take too kindly to it]]. In the wake of this, official materials (such as the [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU fourth]] ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' game and the official Pokémon website) started to play up the BloodKnight persona used in the games and the first movie, while neglecting to reference the softer Mewtwo seen in ''Genesect''.
** The [[https://www.pokemonsleep.net/en/news/2660/ September 26, 2023]] update of ''VideoGame/PokemonSleep'' added the ability for all boxed Pokémon to recover 5% of your Sleep Score as Energy, letting them recharge bit by bit each day they're not on your team.
