Stop it breh, Halo is not on it's 14th run unless you count every single kind of spin off and remaster and collection.Dumb argument.
Was the Coli around in 2002?
By your logic, there's only ever been 2 or 3 official threads for the Halo series despite it being on it's 14th run.
Also by your wonderful logic,if you played one Halo you've played em all.
Halo Infinite
Halo 3
Tekken 1
Tekken 7
"Wahh, these games are all the same "
Since when has a game been similar to its previous games been a con?
I've only played one Ratchet game on PS3, one on PS4 and this upcoming one. THIS one looks amazing. Whether it's "similar" to the old ones has absolutely no bearing on my excitement.
I bet you can't WAIT for the next Forza game though
Having over double digit main entries into a series that literally are all 3d platformer shooters is vastly different than halo 1-5 and reach.
Especially a series that has a ongoing sequential story.
And I like how your examples of "once you've played one you've played them all" are from two games that there heavily pvp influenced.
There is no nuances to R&C when playing against the AI
But playing tekken 1 vs 7 vs another human being is hugely different and the reason 99 percent of the people buy a fighting game.
Same with halo and most FPS, the story in halo happens to be lore heavy, but at the end of the day people play it for PVP long term... Even gears is like that.
