They get old.



I LOVE ICELAND!

My only biggest problem is sports games.

- Mechanics don't improve enough to justify a new release each year.
- All we get is a roster change.
- Different modes get rotated and removed to make it appear new.
- They kill online of the old one jut so you are forced to buy the new one if you want to play online.

Because you know that the developer only made annual games for money.

As if no other game is made with money in mind . . .

Sadly his regular games are fine. But when mario is in everything it becomes old. You dont see COD racers 

Smash with COD, COD tennis, COD super strikers, COD and sonic, etc. 

 

Wow, I did not know character fatigue was a thing.

Sports games should become platforms. Developers can easily just use patches to add new features and tweak the gameplay when necessary, especially since they generally don't improve much graphically over a generation, and then for around $30 you can get the new season's roster update. However, we probably won't see a model like that while they still sell millions of copies launching at $60.

Then again, 1 CoD game sells as much as 5 Mario games

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

The people who buy them are my problem



I don't mind them really, but I rarely buy them every year. I just finished AC: Syndicate and liked it very much, it didn't feel rushed to me. Las one I played was Black Flag, I wouldn't want to play those every year. New football game is a must buy every year though, I've bought Fifa for past two years so PES will be my choice this fall.



They lose quality over the time.
