Anybody highly annoyed by game series where each new iteration is basically the same game but made from scratch? A recent example is X4, but there's seems to be a lot of those. Civilization is probably the first thing that comes to mind, as is stuff like Total War.
It's basically the same game all over again, except it feels like everything was made from scratch and instead of improving and expanding on what was achieved previously, it feels like the damn thing was made out of nothing and with new features you also get regressions and missing parts that were in previous installments.
I don't get why those type of games need so many sequels. Maybe there's an economic incentive in releasing a sequel instead of adding expansions but that doesn't explain why they never seem to build on what they achieved previously, and why sometimes they just go backwards instead of going forward.
