    “the nth iteration of sold-out BRAND that’s older than most people reading this that belongs to a genre so niche only its dedicated fanbase can tell what the hell is even different from the last entry is at least as fresh and original as the sole sequel to a one-off game that was actually made in this century” and “looking forward to an original game you liked getting a single sequel makes you a hypocrite for not also thinking the 2893598th BRAND niche game most people can’t tell from its predecessor is equally exciting” strike me as outright bizarre things to say and it’s weird and sad that when you reach for “fresh and original” the thing you come up with is [moldy franchise] [#].

        i just looked up sf 4 5 and 6 and if you put these all in front of me i absolutely could not tell you which one was which. much innovation, very originality. ditto for the last like ten spider man games. like bruh talos principle wasnt groundbreaking or anything but i’m not over here acting like they revolutionized gaming by making more clever variations on rock paper scissors.

        I said one thing on that list sounded interesting to me and you’re having a tizzy because i think the rest sound like the brand cash-ins they are. Sorry I don’t think “they made another DnD CRPG and a Spider-man game the way they’ve done thrice a decade for forty years” makes it “a great year for games”.

        It’s also weird that you take time to dissociate BG3 from the rest of the series despite the number, and then go on to pedantically assert that I should care about spider-man 2 as much as talos principle 2 because number (I think that was your point anyway, it’s not very lucid). I’m tired of elves and wizards and superheroes and fucking remakes dude, it’s so fucking stale. It’s not fun to me - sorry for being happy about the puzzle game I liked getting a sequel while being shit-tired of grindy crap and dead genres.

        how dare i say that I’m glad the weird existential puzzle game got a sequel while not also simping over FRANCHISE that I was bored of by the time I hit puberty like a good consumer?

            man are you still crying because I said I don’t give a fuck about the billionth entry in a forty year old franchise, but was glad about a sequel to a puzzle game? get a fuckin life you loser.

                bruh you went nuclear and started being an asshat because I wasn’t impressed or interested by the 40th spider man game or the eleventeenth street fighter coming out and tried to turn it into a debate like a fucking neckbeard. go outside on occasion.

                    you mean the games i kept saying you should talk about instead, while you continued harping on me for caring about a sequel to a game i played and liked a lot but not spider-man 2 even though they both have a 2? or whatever your moon-logic was.
