"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] [#].
