What's a game you loved that got a sequel you came to dislike? (hexbear.net)

For me it's Diablo II. Granted I've played my fair share of D2 since launch, and also recently on a private server with a comrade from hexbear, but I still feel like years later the game didn't grab me as much as D1 did.

Granted I don't hate D2, but for a game that I keep coming back to, D1 takes the prize.

I hate FOMO pressure and I often quit games that push it too hard so I can break the toxic forced habit-forming they're pressuring me into.

It took me being physically unable to play Destiny 2 for several months due to hip surgery to break the FOMO that game instilled in me. I thought I was stronger but damn do they know how to prey on the neurodivergent

I will always hate the treat defender take that "well this doesn't bother me and I don't have a problem with it so it shouldn't affect anyone else unless they're weak-willed" or some passive-aggressive lowkey calipers like that.

Hexbear was infested with that during the struggle session against international corporate sports gambling apps.
