This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Sure but when you have an established successful franchises with a working recipe. Like. Just release the next ace combat I swear to God it's been 6 years without a peep about ace combat 8 despite ace combat 7 being by far the best selling in the franchise.
Let me ask, do you really want another ace combat after half a decade without information? In all likelihood, the team has been gutted twice. The only similarities to its past might end up being art direction and the name.
Like, I enjoyed the new armored core and duke nukem, but they weren’t quite continuations of the previous games. Mecha sekiro and generic cringy subpar shooter 485 weren’t worth the wait. Though, I admit, I’m a hypocrite and holding my breath for silksong.
Exactly. The team(s) that made the stuff we love are usually long gone by the time we get "the next" whatever. My go-to for that is Criterion Games going from Burnout Paradise to... well, basically not doing anything anymore. Thanks, EA.
Some of the devs left, and Wreckreation is on the docket. It's due to be a spiritual successor, but I'd he willing to bet nowhere near as charming as Burnout. Damn, I hope I'm wrong, given "Dangerous Driving"...
