Both a poor and false argument. Rayman Legends is hardly different from Origins at its core, and the same can be said for GTA IV - GTA V. However, Legends does have many new features over its predecessor, just like GTA V. If you have a strong, solid core that defines a franchise, why tamper much with it much? Rayman Legends takes Origins and brings it to the next level in terms of creativity, graphics, gameplay and style. Guess what? The exact same can be said about Grand Theft Auto V.
GTA IV set a new standard for sandbox games and storytelling alike, akin to what Origins did for the platforming genre. Both Legends and GTA V are a sigma of public reaction and experience from their respective companies, improving upon and potentially nearly perfecting their initial experiments (predecessors) in these sequels.
Also, for the record, GTA has not been 'doing the same thing' in the slightest. GTA II was a vast improvement upon GTA I, and after that they went for something new with GTA III. Vice City and San Andreas (basically sibling games) were vast improvements upon GTA III, and after that they went for something new with GTA IV. GTA V is now looks to be a mindblowingly vast improvement upon GTA IV, and considering the fact that Grand Theft Auto IV has been rated by many, many respected sites and reviewers to be one of the greatest games of all time, I don't see how anyone with a half-educated mind could even begin to say that GTA is 'doing the same thing as before.' Rockstar is one of the few companies around who I truly feel put their all into what they do. They spend years upon years developing single games, each unique even within their own franchises (while always containing most of the core elements that makes their franchises so wonderful), and the end result is always so full of blood, sweat, tears and soul.
Not to intentionally write a thousand-word essay on why I think your comment was grossly ignorant- actually, it was completely intentional; I'll take as long as I need to to explain myself. Minor's point I actually respect, and he's speaking rationally: he isn't not voting for GTA because he knows little to nothing about it, he's not voting for it because it doesn't appeal to him. He's being honest, and not trying to make a very under-educated statement.
I'm not acting fanboyish toward Grand Theft Auto, I'm simply saying that you should actually try and experience the games for a bit, or at the
very least do some bloody research before basically flipping something off as a cash-in series.
