You’re going to have to be more specific, I can think of at least 2 that could fit that description.

I feel like this could be used to describe any tech company that “innovates” or “disrupts” an area.

The race was yesterday. Today was just the parade

Expect for the .410 gauge. That one is a caliber, because reasons

Admittedly I don’t play on Xbox, but yeah their console naming is baffling to me and I honestly don’t know/can’t be bothered to figure it out. PlayStation is simple. Bigger numbers equal newer. Pro version? Just a modest step up but still clearly identifies as the same Gen.

When Xbox launched the One, I thought, “oh they’re going to reset the numbering convention. It’s awkward now but will be easier going forward.” Boy was I wrong.

On the other end there’s Nintendo, but the names are so different and distinct it’s easy enough to distinguish (except whatever the hell Wii U was).

Microsoft seems caught in the middle. They clearly didn’t want to be like PlayStation, but they don’t want to/can’t come up with unique names, so you get just a mouthful of nonsense letters and numbers.

So… The Princess Bride?

Honestly, Inquisition is the low point in the series to me. If it can’t clear that bar then Bioware may be toast. I’ve replayed Origins countless times and it’s truly a great game. DA2 isn’t a perfect game, and certainly shows signs of EA’s influence degrading the product, but I have replayed of numerous and still find it a fun experience.

Inquisition, I think I’ve only completed it twice, at most. But replays always seem to stall out for me. I don’t find the characters as engaging and the “open world” elements feel like something to be overcome rather than something I want to dive into and explore.

Honestly, I’d rather they go smaller and focus on well designed areas/missions/quests with fun and engaging characters. I don’t need a huge map from a Bioware title. I just want a good story, with interesting characters and difficult narrative choices.

Honestly, seeking compactness/shortest lines can create gerrymandered districts too. It can result neighborhoods or population centers being split into multiple districts and having their power diluted.

Drawing convenient/straight boarders can have lasting negative impacts. Just ask the British.

The solution is… Complicated. David Wasserman did a great piece on this many years ago for 538. It’s worth a read
