How do people actually say things like this and expect to be taken seriously?

Games evolve, if Final Fantasy XII (for example) played like FF1, it wouldn't sell since there are 11 others of the same damn game.

Same with Mario, Zelda, Metal Gear, etc.

There are times when it's fair. But you're right about games like Final Fantasy or Mario. They change, and it's ridiculous to say such things

Xenoblade Chronicles X is a fantastic game, but it's a bad example of a Xenoblade game.

some evolved into shit, like FF12

Yeah, they definitely don't get it right every time.

100%. I can deal with "worst in the series", but something like "I love BOTW but it's a terrible Zelda game" kills me every time.

If a game is part of a series, it should evolve in a way that keeps the good aspects of the series intact.

BotW is a fun game but it hardly resembles a Zelda game because it changed too much.

You obviously don't understand what that statement means. Breath of the Wild on its own is a good game, but if you're going into it expecting a typical Zelda experience, you're going to be disappointed. The game is clearly unconventional and stands out from the rest of the Zelda franchise aside from maybe the first two games, in both good ways and bad.

Games evolve
If it became worse than previous entries, did it really evolve?

Yeah.

Like if a game goes from an exploration driver Platformer to on rails story driven shooter its fair to say.

breath of fire: dragon quarter

Godawful breath of fire game

Absolutely amazing game; RPG with "high score" mode, basically.

I dont agree with BotW being a terrible Zelda game because its the closest to Zelda 1. It feels exactly like what an extension of that original game would be.


What does that matter?

It's clear that they didn't intend to maintain Zelda 1's structure

Relevant. Some game series find a formula and stick to it, and some branch out to the point where they might be difficult to recognize as part of a coherent series.

The advantage and disadvantage is the same: you pick up a new game in the series, and you know exactly what you're getting from it.

I dont understand why anyone wants a series to "evolve". Isn't the whole point of a series is to be mostly similar? I mean when I want to play Dragon Quest, I want to play Dragon Quest. I am not expecting the next game to be Final Fantasy.

Evolution can go either way in terms of quality. Final Fantasy proves that evolution can be detrimental

It's always felt like nitpicking to me. I never cared if one game in a series played like any others. All that's ever mattered to me is that I find a game entertaining. If you liked playing the game, why does it deviating from the series formula even matter?

Yes.

Evolve means change, not improve.

So it's a good game? Ok then!

if a game changes, then it's not the same thing
if it's not the same thing, then you're essentially buying a brand and not a set of gameplay and rules
