Opinions like this one need to die.I don't think HALO needs to die, because that would imply I want the team to work on another game instead. I don't, because their games aren't very good.

Which game would be there? Mario Kart? Pretty much the only one I could see. Or maybe the NSMB series if you're tired of that style.
Oh wait, the Mama series needs to die actually. But that's not internally developed.
I disagree, because there is no real pattern in their reasoning to the list. What is the criteria? Franchise fatigue? To many people talking about it? To many releases? It seems all over the place and sounds more like a troll list to bait for more hits.I disagree on Madden, because that wouldn't make sense, unless they stopped playing American Football, and I don't see any such greatness happening any time soon. Other than that though, good list. Can't remember the last time a game in one of these franchises surprised me in a positive way.
Replace DDR and Final Fantasy with Zelda and Mario and you've got yourself a dang good list. Oh, and shift Call of Duty to the number 1 spot.
I wouldn't miss any of them.
Final Fantasy, but not Sonic? Really now.
If Metal Gear where to die, then Kojima could finally go do something interesting again.
I think the numbering factor really hurts FF in this way, while i dont have an issue with it (id hate for the games to all have subtitles considering the nonsense Squeenix names their games) it makes it all the more tiring and redundant to see a fuckin 13 after your game's name.

Those aren't part of an ongoing creative work, not unless you REALLY stretch it. Still, it's pretty much more like a new game that sort of loosely follows what the series has been about, from X onwards it's been WAY more divergent and loose, and it wasn't like IV-IX were all that formulaic compared to other series!If Final Fantasy titles tire you, I imagine the Superbowl and Olympics makes you faint.

I guess you didn't play Reach.well these franchises don't need to die if people want to play them but i'm glad that studios like bungie are finally moving on and give their franchises to 2nd grade studios.

Yeah, I don't see it crashing as hard as Guitar Hero. More of a slow fade unless they can bring in another game that's as fresh as CoD 4 was in its time.I'd feel like CoD deserves the top spot there, but to be honest it's more I wish it was JUST successful, not grossly successful. I can recognize the appeal there, don't feel they should be kept from people, and even enjoy them, but I hate the grossly disproportionate influence it's been having over the industry. More and more companies seem to hold its success as THE ideal to strive to, and that's resulted in some dubious design calls (though on the more benign side we have the marketing angles for Arkham City and Skyrim, which I actually liked, but that seems to go after the "CoD base" in a more abstract way than I can fully get.) Admittedly CoD gives off the impression it's a bubble waiting to burst, I don't see it having the spectacular crash that Guitar Hero had but it might have a fading from relevance more akin to something like FF, or at least have another game rise up and be THE smash hit that GTA and Halo were seen as prior to it. Or perhaps there won't be one of those, it'll just drop in sales until it's closer to GTA and Halo rather than some Mario games after they're out for a few years.
Wow, I really don't give a shit about any of those franchises. Good list in my book.

Well, if FFXV is like FFXII or Xenoblade and they put KH back on consoles, I would probably start giving a shit about those franchises again.
Popular games are dumb, obviously. The inclusion of Angry Birds tells you everything you need to know about that site.
And why do these franchises need to die? I can ignore Dynasty Warriors just fine. Release a new game each month for all I care.
I'd be honored.Oh great, then you can give permission back to Square Enix, they were waiting for you to vote "YES".
