recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that

not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation

with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~

I'll probably get roasted for this but.. Pokemon. It just seems like endless copy/paste and might be one of the laziest game franchises I've ever seen. I've really tried to get into them. I was there when the Pokemon cartoon started, I saw it rise to the phenomenon it is today, but damn if it isn't the most boring grindfest ever.

That's a very common complaint for the last, hell I don't even know, 20 games or whatever.

True, I'm not saying anything I haven't heard before. It's just crazy that people keep buying it thinking "Maybe this one will match the memories I had when I was 10." I guess nostalgia is a powerful drug. Even more powerful than I thought.. just looked up the Pokemon franchises worth and it's estimated at 74 billion. Now I know how boomers feel cause I just don't get it.
