It's a good game, but it's a terrible (franchise) game
>it's a Wojak thread
DS2 is a good Zelda game but it's a terrible DS game.
The best example of this is Super Paper Mario.
On its own its a good game, but it doesn't compare to its previous entries mostly because of gameplay differences
>Not understanding a game can be good on its own but also not reflect the series well like gameplay or tone differences
Nice self portrait OP
This, but unironically

Why did you post a great pokemon game
RE4 and 5
A game set in the metal gear universe
It's not a metal gear game per say
It makes sense. The Mortal Kombat FPS was a good shooter it just wasn't a good MK
>devs take massive shortcuts to piggyback on previous games work and success
>but no they don't need to meet any standards set by that same work
ok
You've somehow misunderstood what the phrase means. Good job, I didn't think such a feat was possible.
You know who else is a good game, but a terrible (franchise) game?

That's exactly what it means bootlicker.
You should only say a game is a terrible (franchise) game if the story is good on it's own, but it retconned so much stuff of the previous games. A game's good period
and 6
Dark souls 2
It compares in literally every other aspect, and the gameplay is basically a spinoff version of the two earlier games. Face it, its a good game, and a good paper mario game.
God of Sóy
Diablo 3
Divinity: Dragon Commander
Fallout 3
I used to say Chrono Cross, but honestly it's not a very good game on its own either.

no it means that it doesn't fit the tone/genre of the previous games.
lets say that you make a game belonging to a series of stealth games like splinter cell for instance but make a new game in the series that has nothing to do with stealth and is focused around high action firstperson gameplay. it could still be a good game on its own merit but it wouldn't be a game that fits the series so people couldn't help but not see it as part of the series.

No thanks
If the game is actually good, people don't say this.
For example never in my life have I seen somebody saw that GOW2018 was "a good game but a bad GoW game" they just said it was a good game.
probably one of the most overrated games on Yea Forums I can think of desu, for many people it was their first paper mario game, if you talk to anybody who played ANY other game in the series first they will consider it average.
Average game, average paper mario game.
that's probably because the combat is better in GoW4. Puzzles are shit but they were shit come GoW3 so whatever
Resident Evil 4's core gameplay loop is fundamentally different from earlier games, yet it's still one of the best third person shooters ever made.
that's a great example.
Just fanboys being butthurt over their precious media being different. Imo video game sequels shouldn't be made unless they have a difference of gameplay, tone, or design. See RE4. Drastically different from predecessors but retains a few key concepts. It's arguably better than its predecessors, too, but fanboys only care about their comfort zone.
