Agreed. Unless VF3 has something that actually resembles some kind of story or end objective to hold the player's attention (achievements don't count), but I'm not holding my breath and personally I hope that VF3 is the last in the Virtual Families series. It's true that VV5 caused a lot of controversy that LDW could easily have avoided by replacing "Converting the heathens" with "Making a new friend" and the Devotion bar with Diplomacy, and it's certainly not a game that I will ever replay unless I can find a mod to that effect, but like the other VV games, at least there were clear goals.

Getting back on topic though, I have to say I'm looking forward to the Mystery Game (when do we get to know what it's called?). It seems like something brand new and that's never a bad thing
