Lol I mean it’s literally just having a new addition to it and while many will say it’s being killed, the amount of content they have added so far in Rebirth has been insane. I have friends who will probably hate it, but it’s absolutely beautiful to me and a surprise at every step.

I never got far at all in 16, but not because I didn’t enjoy it. I just got stuck in a rut last summer and stopped gaming entirely for a couple months and just didn’t pick it up again. Maybe when I finish Rebirth in another 100 hours I’ll jump back to that lol.
6 though? Have loved that one for a very long time though I may have taken longer to finish it than most anyone ever. Way back when it released as FF3 on SNES, a friend bought it and played for a short while but let me borrow it. I played the hell out of it and had something like 80 hours into it (not sure if I just sucked or idled a lot, don’t ask haha). I had made it to right before the final dungeon. But then my friend wanted it back and I said sure, with the intent of finishing it at his house the next time I spent the weekend there gaming, which was common.
Right after I gave it back, his cousin wanted to give it a try and the very first thing he did was delete my save. I watched him do it and just had no words. He didn’t realize I hadn’t finished and wasn’t trying to be an ass, but it just crushed me.
I never went back to play it again until the 2015 release on Steam. Played it on probably 2016. So a minimum 21 years, maybe 22. Lol
The funny thing about this one is there’s a big chunk of the series faithful that want it milked more, just in a more nostalgic way.
This is completely my opinion but I feel like Stellaris has milked the fuck out of those DLCs, but they’re also good lol
Considering they are putting out a monthly subscription for access to all DLC? Yeah this thought is very valid.
They did the same to HoI4

The Anno series. They released 7 games since 1998, Anno 1800 as the most recent one had 3 season passes, and it’s considered by many to be the best or at least 2nd best in the series.
I still enjoy Pokemon. They deserve the criticism they get but I grew up with it and I enjoy monster battling games.
Yeah I’ve enjoyed all the Pokemon games in the last decade (I also dropped over 100 hours in Palworld).
If you listen to the internet, however, we’re apparently what’s wrong with Pokemon, because we’re not allowed to enjoy it unless it’s perfect and lives up to to everyone else’s very specific expectations, but the sales figures don’t lie, there are certainly more than dozens of us!
You can enjoy it, but you’re insane if you don’t see a marked drop in quality from installation to installation in terms of map design, content, sound design and more. How many times are they going to reuse Mega Evolution with a new coat of paint instead of just keeping it already working?
Why do they prevent you from transferring Pokemon into newer generations? It’s not because they don’t have the space for the information. They’re saving money by not having to spend dev hours remodeling all the older Pokemon to fit the new art style or graphic threshold.
All in all, given the profits, they could put a lot more effort into making the experience more fun.
Here’s a decent breakdown of the issues between generations: (Warning: The presentation leaves something to be desired but the crux of the argument is sound.)
- Marvel but it’s waning
- Grand Theft Auto
- South Park
- Cheers / Frasier saga
Claiming that the modern Frasier reboot has anything to do with Cheers is nothing short of blasphemy.
They’re doing their best! It’s not great, but it’s their best!
Rebooting a franchise successfully needs a lot more thought than what they put into new Frasier.
Marvel has put out anything good in the past 5 years?
Guardians 3 was good.
Mostly because they weren’t trying to shoehorn future movie plot setups into it.
On that note, the Holiday Special was also pretty good.
Shang-Chi wasn’t a bad movie… Not one I’m likely to rewatch much, but a good popcorn movie…
Other than that, no Marvel has started falling into producer interference mode, where every movie must explicitly set up the next, even if they don’t have a full plan for what’s next.
They’ve lost sight of the key to their success; telling a tight, self-contained story made by people who love the characters.
I absolutely detest the Flanderization of Drax and Thor. I appreciate moments of comedy, but I didn’t come to watch Abbot and Costello.
Mario. Also Zelda
It’s been milked endlessly but definitely not disrespected a la Sonic. You know when you pick up one of these you’re in for a good time. It’s the kind of reputation Nintendo knows it relies on.
For me, it’s Dragon Ball. Across 3 mangas, 4 shows, and like 25 movies, the latest content is still enjoyable. Dragon Ball Super, both the anime and manga, are just super fun successors to the originals. It’s the only comic book I actually read when a new issue comes out.
Super Mario. It’s been milked for what it’s worth and more, but whenever there’s a new Mario game you just know it’s going to be good.
The last Teenage mutant ninja turtles movie was fire … and there’s a non zero chance there’s already been another one released while I typed this.
World of Warcraft, I guess. Last expac was quite great even though Shadowlands - to some degree BFA - was trash
