I believe your talking about v1.0 Conkers. I don't think they spent millions upon millions to remake a game just for it to be low standard and 'shoddy'. I do believe they attempted to create a great game, and they did. If it isn't up to your par, go play one that is.
It takes a long time to make a game so big, and changing anything will have ripple effects throughout, so nothing can be done without making absolutely sure it will not affect another aspect of the game. Sure some things are easier than others, some things will be fixed and some won't, but unless your on SE payroll and going to tell me just how easy or difficult it is for you, I believe their doing the best they can.
