This franchise needs like 3 leadership changes to be fantastic. I do not understand how they put so much effort into the setting and world building, just for the fucking dialogue and main story plots to be so fucking bad.
>Show up to the main mission.
>Every character they've ever written is also there.
>"Not so fast! It is I, Derrick: the Dragon's Nutsack!" x 20
>Nobody dies in the bossfight. Again.
>"We were just stopping by to say hello! WILL YOU OVERCOME YOUR DESTINY, ASHEN CAVIAR?!"

>Repeat this for 8 fucking games until your player base kills itself.
