They were paying the subscription in the hope that Bethesda would use their money to improve the game. The most interesting thing to me was that this person did not even play the game anymore. Over the weekend I had a conversation with one of Fallout 1st’s ‘whales’ in a Reddit thread. One of the many problems is where do they go after that? Does Luigi’s Mansion 4 try to evolve back into something closer to the second game? So by the time we’re on Luigi’s Mansion 5 we’ll finally get something brand new? Who am I kidding? But the time it gets to 5 it’ll be time to remind you of the first one again, that’s the cycle of nostalgia! It’s not just a problem in games of course, almost everything is trying to remind you of some other thing you used to like or hoping you won’t notice it’s terrible just because it reminds you of something better you used to enjoy (Terminator: Dark Fate, anyone?). I’m not that upset, because it still seems to be a good game, but it just goes to show you what a hell of a drug nostalgia can be. Is it just nostalgia? Especially as it was around at the start of the GameCube? In my mind there’s no question that Luigi’s Mansion 2 is 100% the better game but I guess enough people disagree that Nintendo did it this way. In my opinion that’s always been a pretty worthless game and I’m not really sure what anyone else sees in it. Nice review of Luigi’s Mansion 3 but a bit disappointed to find it’s trying to be more like Luigi’s Mansion. Maybe at least have an 80s time travel zone or something in GTA Online? I mean, they’ve got flying motorbikes so it would hardly be the strangest thing they’ve done.
