To be fair, you probably should stay away from a part 2, unless you've played a part 1. It also doesn't keep them from releasing final fantasy {insert number here} consistently. It's vastly short sighted. If I get part 2, which isn't labeled as a part 2, have no earthly idea what's happening, and then find out it's p2, you bet your ASS I'm not buying p1 now lol

Do people not read reviews before buying games? When I was a kid I'd want games based on the box art. Now I read what the game is about.

The naming conventions they're using are still bad, though.

The only reviews I trust these days are Steam, Steam Brigades, and Video Game Dunkey. I have to assume everyone else at this point is on payroll. How many 10/10 did Starfield get? Cyberpunk 2077? Wild Hearts? Wo Long? Dragons Dogma 2?

Side note: I went to metacritic to see what Starfield got from reviews. One of them gave it a 5/5 100% rating, but the opening sentence is "Starfield isn’t a perfect game." Come on guys what do you think 100% means?

But anyway, yeah, I mostly look at user reviews before buying.
