That is a good reason to hate on it, though I think that both games, the SP TES games and the MMO will find their own audience in the end and will coexist.

Every terrible iOS game ever. Mostly just the blatant ripoffs but sometimes genuine offerings from SE or Capcom

No, and it sort of disturbs me when gamers outright want this to happen. Most often it takes passion and love to make a game no matter what kind of game it is. The fact that gamers would go so far to demean and beat down a developer to point of actually wanting them to fail depresses me.

What's so edgy about it? I don't expect the games I play to have a pallate moving simulator built into it and only one pathway to Colorado lol. It's a crap ripoff.

^ This one. They have already fucked up the lore with contradictions (AKA The quest where an Argonian tells you that he is poisoned and needs you to get some antidote for it)
what was your experience like with blops 1 ? hateful online experience I bet.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
This was me! I don't know why, maybe my repressed Nintendo fan rose up, maybe I was disappointed they weren't using any real classic PS characters I actually grew up with besides Sir Daniel and Spike, or maybe I just felt it was sort of cheap...
However, in my defense, I actually purchased the game Day 1. I've never really played it much, though, it was kind of just alright...not the worse game ever, but not exactly a thrilling nostalgia trip.

DmC: Devil May Cry needed to fail to show Capcom that rebooting a series and spitting in the fans' faces doesn't work out. It may not have been a failure, but at least it failed to meet expectations. The game itself wasn't horrible, but the rationale behind it was unnecessary.

Pretty much. Being disloyal to your fanbase shouldn't pay off.

I know it's not realistic in the slightest, but if GTAV would have failed to break 90 on metacritic, I think I would have had to jump around and dance for a minute.
I used to love the series though.
Also, DmC, and Sony Smash Bros. [I've sorta regretted wishing them harm though]
But geeze, GTA needs a little rain to fall on them. For their own good.

DmC admittedly but I'm not particularly proud of it
Just not what I wanted out of the franchise. So I'd hoped its failure would send that message to Capcom.

I still wish every day that World of Warcraft will actually die. Every time I hear about the subscription count dropping I pray that it keeps dropping.
I have lost 7 years to that fucking game and far too many friends to it as well.

Halo Reach, because I hated every minute of the campaign that I played. I got that shit a whole week early, too.
I don't think I got what I wanted. lol

Ha! The internet cracks me up.
Yes, let's have bad games be successful, then developers know they can get away with making bad games.

For Lost Odyssey, so my brain could continue to not want a 360.
Gotta agree here.
And in the MMO vein, I'm thinking Everquest Next. Its everyones darling right now, but I'm getting 'that' feeling about it even this early in development. Some things aren't right and alarm bells are ringing (not alluding to insider info btw). Watch this space.
Yep, Soul Calibur and the Ninja Gaiden franchise, I'm fine with trying to sell your game by using sex as a selling point (I actually know a friend who bought those beach volleyball games and the Vita one because of the touching minigame or w/e that was) but when you rely only on it and put features to highlight it... that's just trying too hard.
Fucking LOL! Whatever helps you sleep at night man.

While not actually failing, I do have wished that several games would get low scores on metacritic/gamerankings, and been happy when it happened.
Not because I have anything against the developers, but because people are still using those sites as arguments for how good a game is.

Only when you know it's a bad game and you don't want it to succeed based on the name alone.

You're right, that is shitty.
You'd probably be happier if you stopped being mad at shit for things you can't control.
Oh yeah, and for other people's financial and artistic success.

No, I think that wanting a game to fail just because I don't like it or agree with the specific direction it took is childish and absurd.

"good" or "bad" is subjective. what you think is a bad game might be a good game for others. also I don't think any developer purposely make a bad game. if they see a game succeed they will only improve on it for the sequels. so even bad games can become good games, if they are successful.

Assassins creed and CoD please fail and die so they can make a new IP.

Since when Soul Calibur and Ninja Gaiden rely on sex appeal? You mean Dead or Alive?
Yeah Dead or Alive, I tend to mix them up quite often.
Boob commercials, boob jiggling Dualshock features, creepy minigames, beach volleyball...
Just to add to the thead: Had you asked me this question right after playing Assassin's Creed 3 I would have said that yeah, I wanted this franchise to die but AC4 seems to be trying to fix things and do them the right way so I'll wait and see.
