The NFS series (“look how they massacred my boy”), The Sims, Burnout mostly. Battlefield as well, I’ve watched that series implode from the sidelines instead of in my face.
O.o @ your last sentence there. I’m a flaming gay furry, diversity is great.

Subjective. Unbound was a pretty good nfs game. People just didn’t like the art style. The Sims 4 is just the Sims but f2p/pay to do anything fun. Battlefield 2042 gets overhated. It’s exactly the same as bf4 but better movement, more plauers, more modes, private servers, customer games. But what did people cry about? “HerOes WItH aBilItiEs” but those “abilities” are so insignificant that it literally doesn’t matter. People just cry so they can cry. The community ruins battlefield more than the devs do. I might be biased on BF because I’ve played an enjoyed literally every battlefield game made to date. Including their f2p one and console exclusives on PS2. Which means I’ve also seen how the community acts for each game. And the trending thing for BF is “the last game was the best this new one sucks” so when the next bf comes out. People will say " man I wish it was like 2042, that one was so good". The best example is when V came out. People hated BF1 because " no one wants to fight on trenches" and then V came out " women weren’t in WW2. i thought this game was all about being a war simulator" and make BFV is " the good game" now.
And I’ll admit on some games like battlefront 1 was a disaster, 2 had to be fixed.
Need for speed micro slot machine (payback?) was a fucking joke.
Burnout ended decades ago, idk why that was even brought up lol.

Unbound is… an improvement over heat, yeah. I own a copy, only because it’s a birthday gift and it was $10. I own heat, got it for $1.25, want me $1.25 back. Whatever the one with the upgrade cards system is trash - and I pre-ordered it. NFS 2015 is… Soulless, awkward. Nevertheless, they all pale in comparison to their older brethren. I’ve been on the nfs train since 3, I own almost all of them, across multiple systems. It’s been an honestly depressing downward spiral - and my friends agree, so it’s not just a sole data point. I think I’m the only one who has heat or unbound, even though I poked people when heat was a dollar, even when unbound was five. That’s… not good. These are people who also love racing games, also love the series.
Burnout got a remaster on the EA App. I bought it, because the ultimate box on pc never included big surf island, and I wanted to experience it. But also, EA bought Criterion to shutter the competing series. They belong in that list. EA killed the game, then they gutted and merged the studio, then restarted the studio in name only trying to do damage control. Then, they used it for a quick buck with burnout, with no effort at all. Similar how the re-release of TS1 and 2 is. EA is essentially serving shovelware itself at this point, ruining the last of their goodwill from the ‘good old days’.
I’ve read battlefield (whatever the latest one is) was half-baked on launch, and from friends who play it, told me to get CoD instead (which is a low blow if I’ve ever seen one; that’s a series that needs to be put out to pasture, imo). Older versions apparently have shitty/broken multi-player game browsing now, and the player base is dwindling because of it. I can’t independently verify any of this, just trusted friends and reviews. The last one I played myself was bad company 2, and I thought it was alright, no big problems.

2010 is generous. They’ve been shoveling shitware for much longer than that!

I do hold nfs hp 2010 as well as nfs mw 2012 in a good light, so that’s why “like” 2010 :p
