Honestly if I'm a huge fan of a series I actually like consistent releases on a regular basis. That is way better than waiting 5 years for a title or in the more extreme cases of stuff like Elder Scrolls or GTA that I love waiting over a fucking decade.

I actually loved it during the PS2 era where we ended up with 3 GTA games in a 4 year period. That was absolutely awesome.

I love getting Assassin's Creed games regularly. If I absolutely love a series I have no issues playing a major release once every year or two. I liked when I was younger and got a Mega Man game practically every year. That would have sucked waiting 5+ years for every entry.

No one should go from a kid to a 30 year old adult and being married waiting on 1 more damn release in their favorite series. It's getting ridiculous waiting on some of these franchises. We should actually celebrate series that remain consistently releasing titles.

Yeah exactly, I'm a Ratchet fan and I absolutely loved that. I know development is quite different now and obviously is going to to be lengthier than back in the NES days or even the PS2 days but still. Despite what people think of the gameplay design I happen to think Assassin's Creed games are quite beautiful. I'm sure some people will tear them down but I grew up from Atari so to me yeah, AC games look damn good. Good enough for me.

They are large worlds, filled with great detail, look beautiful, and has a satisfying element to the gameplay to them. To me they are "good enough' I'd much rather have a game like that every 2 years than waiting forever. I'll never understand the criticism of too many games.

yeah the flipside is something like God of War Ragnarok, where they clearly rushed the ending of what could have been an amazing trilogy (still a great game) in order to avoid making it spread out across 10+ years

EA sports games have the ultimate scam going where its pretty much just 70 bucks for the next roster update. I'm not just saying it just to say it but EA has sports games where the game data while updating player stats and names is just straight up the same.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/j7zdxc/ign_ea_has_copy_and_pasted_fifa_on_switch_for_two/

The moment DLC content became a easy to do for consoles is the moment yearly sports games with barely any changes from one year to the next should not have been a thing. Of course video game history did not play out that way, lol.

surprised it took this long to say Pokmon.

I know that the obvious answer but Pokmons in such an awkward place culturally that I dont think more development time with each game would help the games from a review critics standpoint.

I miss Battle Network, hopefully they greenlit a new one (that's not garbage) since the Legacy Collection sold well.
