Eh, even Mario Odyssey had 1 and 2 star overall ratings when it launched. Let it level out. However, I wouldn't be surprised as the 3rd pillar formula (as I have stated numerous times in the past) has no reason to exist unless you are willing to radically change what I just played a year ago. Back then, this formula worked and today it still works going by sales, but as a gamer I scoff at a game like the Ultra games. It's just not worth my time and money to go through a remixed story. It should have been DLC at this point.

There's the other way of looking at it though. Rather than thinking of it as re-playing what you did a year ago, you could think of it as playing an upgraded and improved version of what you passed on a year ago. As long as you're not attached to playing the games the day they come out you can just wait it out until the improved version releases.

I dunno, it's just not for me. Retreading is not something I'm fond of in games. Which is why annual franchises are not my cup of tea. And it's barely upgraded if you can call it it, maybe slightly. Same maps with some new beaches and a new scenario...I don't think it's worth 40$. A slightly new experience vs. a brand new generation and they're the same price? That's gotta change. I don't know any other series that does that. Not even COD.
