Seinfeld Is Unfunny clean-up
Deleted line(s) 39 (click to see context) :
* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: While still famous for its creepy and depressing nature and story, and being the first major non-simple sprite swap hack created, a lot of people admit this hack is really starting to show its age, especially alongside far more technical overhaul ones like ''VideoGame/HallowsEnd'' and the upcoming ''VideoGame/{{Unearthed}}'' hack. To some people, even those who are aware it's being [[InvokedTrope invoked]] in the beginning, certain areas can look a bit lazy. This is not because the hack creator didn't care, mind you, but more so because that's all hacking tools for ''[[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 EarthBound]]'' [=ROMs=] were capable of back then. Another major thing people complain about is its [[NintendoHard brutal difficulty]], thanks to a steadily growing backlash against [[GameMod ROM Hacks]] that are brutally hard for the sake of being brutally hard in most ROM Hacking communities.

* FandomRivalry: Shares one with the ''VideoGame/HallowsEnd'' hack. Many people who prefer ''Hallow's End'' often cite it as "the Halloween ROM Hack done ''right''", with humor and themes often more fitting of the original ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' compared to ''The Halloween Hack'', of which people often compare to a [[CanonDefilement bad fanfic]] pile of {{Narm}}, in addition to being far more balanced gameplay-wise by comparison. Meanwhile, those who prefer ''The Halloween Hack'' often like how it tries to have [[DarkerAndEdgier darker themes]] than the original ''[=EarthBound=]'', and point out how the endgame of ''Hallow's End'' [[DisappointingLastLevel also devolves into bad fanfic territory as well]], in addition to the difficulty reaching [[NintendoHard batshit levels]]. Really, there are many things people prefer when comparing the two games, and that isn't even going into [[spoiler:how ''The Halloween Hack'' treats Dr. Andonuts…]]
