Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

All games and movies that reuse the same name as the very first title in the franchise to make a "fresh start" while spitting on the original.

Any examples off the top of your head?

NFS: Hot Pursuit. HP2 was a perfect game in the arcade racer genre. HP remake doesn't even have bots in multiplayer, meaning you and your buddies won't be chased by cops because no one plays that game and the cops have to be played by humans.

Tomb Raider, Doom, Mortal Kombat for example

Not bad games at all but I just don’t like that it’s claiming the name of something, basically saying it wasn’t good enough.
