Game series you think need to die?

If there's people buying them, let them have their fun. After seeing the Halloween (movie) remakes and the worst King of Fighters episodes, i've stopped caring too much. Everything will get destroyed at some point.

I saw Namco was coming out with yet another Katamari game and I honestly think we need to assemble a strike task force to rescue the poor series from these sadistic fucks.

Katamari finished with We <3 Katamari, end of story. Every one since has been a slow, tortuous maiming of all goodwill I had for the Prince & Co. The same rehashed bullshit with worse music and zero effort.

I'm sorry, I just had to vent. Somebody stop this suffering, for the love of god.

Resident Evil, Lost Planet, Mass Effect, Dragon Age.

Game series' shouldn't be killed off.
If anything they should be reinvented.


Wait, so in your eyes the series died even BEFORE it was released? What?
Yes, the story was irreparably damaged when they threw the future shit in there. Even if we didn't know about it at the time and it was kept hidden until the release day.

Kinda like how MGS2 was a bad game, we just didn't know it at the time until we got off the Tanker, when Raiden and the fat man in roller skates shows up.
 
Everything I don't like shouldn't exist.

Okay, fine. Devil May Cry, but only so it can be resurrected by people who know what they're doing.
 
So only the third page has a mention of Fable?

That series is becoming worse. Better for Molyneux to save what integrity he has and do something new.
 
Fable, God of War, Call of Duty, all the portable Zelda games after Majora's Mask 3DS comes out... oh and all the Final Fantasy spin offs. They're all in different worlds so stop marketing them differently.

I think that's about it from this end.
 
I dunno, I've thought about it for a while, but there's only really one answer I can come up with.

I am sure people will be mad at this answer, but what can you do, likers gonna like.

I personally think the one series that needs to end is that one series you really love. Yes, that one. It's got to end, sorry. Maybe one day you'll realize that.

the series i really love is pretty good. yeah the ones from 10 years ago weren't that great, but the more recent ones have been a step up. and have you seen the new one? it looks like it'll be the best yet.

You can't save a tree rotting from the roots, Ani.

Probably.

I don't know anything about trees.

I would never wish for a series to get killed. I hate many, but that doesn't mean other people shouldn't get to enjoy them.
But how will you convince others of the objective superiority of your own tastes?

It's the way of the internet, you know.
 
I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but I think Call of Duty needs to be part of it.

Mind you, not die but at least lay off for a few years to get its bearings back. Not that Activision would even consider it. I mean they have CoD and...CoD. I'm not talking about Acti-Blizzard but just Acti. What's their next big IP? Prototype? Spyro.

The game needs to lay low and think of ways it can bring new blood into the franchise before it goes the Tony Hawk, Guitar Hero route and just completely dies off.
 
I am not that egoistic. Everything can coexist. I will just pick up the ones that I actually like.

What an enviable "problem", we sometimes have.
