World of Warcraft, everything after Legion. Not that some parts weren't bad before that.
I'm glad I never got into competitive PvP or hardcore raiding since I had lots of fun as an enh shammy. Sure, the only time I was actually a force to be reckoned with was wielding a Corpsemaker in Level 20-29 Warsong Gulch, but goddamn those Windfury proc multicrits were satisfying. Also Spirit Wolves are cute. When I did some casual raiding I would occasionally get grumbles about my DPS, but whatever, that was never why I played the game. It was just a way to have fun with my buddies...once they quit, there was nothing keeping me there. Glad I got out before they jumped the shark.
The hubris was so cringe and oh boy once the Blizzard shit really hit the fan later, could not overlook that. Online friends had the energy to pester me for a year to come play the dragon expansion or whatever, but as a lass it all just became a huge 🤢.
Agreed. And the visceral hate for Sylvanas that was very clear at least in the gamer dudes I was around was also always very sus.
I did try to play in Shadowlands for a bit. What an utter bore it was.
Especially funny since in the original Warcraft 3 campaign she gets killed and revived as a ghost-like Banshee. Then in the expansion for the game she plays a bigger role in the story, so naturally the devs decided they had to retcon her to be a "sexy" undead elf after all. They were so close to accidentally having a non-sexualised female main character lol
And also: Tomb Raider Crash Bandicoot Mario bros. Diablo Age of Empires 2
Turns out most games I used to love I ended up disliking the sequels. Can't think of one that has gotten better.
