>>54193564If you have to constantly compare newer games to an unreasonable standard you've set in your head based on what came before you will NEVER have fun with anything ever again. Everything will fail to meet par and you will pass up constant opportunities to enjoy yourself because they're not the ambrosia you once suckled and are seeking to sip once more. You'll sit here as game after game is released, constantly in misery and grumbling about why it's 'not as good as it once was', wondering why or how other people can have fun with these 'sub-par releases'.
Imagine living that kind of life in reality for anything else. You'd put a bullet in your brain before too long.
Older games aren't perfect. Neither are newer games. Both can still be fun, which is why fun is the ONLY metric I use for judging whether to buy a game. It's not a zero-sum game or some holy grail of a perfect Pokemon title that would make you leave the franchise after in satisfaction or enlightenment. That'll never happen.
