I hate the current (or has it always been like this?) trend of "bigger and better" sequels. This applies especially for bestselling game franchises - e.g. GTA - when GTA3 came out in 2002 it was a small revolution - it might not have been exactly your cup of tea (it wasn't mine...), you can't deny it was groundbreaking in many ways though. But all the newer GTA games play exactly the same and the reviewers still complain about the same things, because the core gameplay hasn't been changed one bit over the years. Still everybody wants and buys the new GTAs, because you get:
- more cities (and they're bigger, too!!!)
- more cars and motorbikes
- more guns
- more houses
- more quests
- more costumes
- more factions
- more stuff to buy in shops
- more ways to pimp your car
- you can drive a bicycle now (just WOW...)
- the main dude is black now (big deal...)
- etc etc etc
You get sooo much new stuff and sooo little new game(play), still every new GTA game is hyped like it's the second coming. This just makes me angry - there are still awesome games being released nowadays - Mass Effect, Bioshock, Fallout etc., but for each of them you get a new GTA, Tomb Raider, FIFA (NHL, NBA...), NFS, Sims, WoW expansion etc.
