Medal of Honor

EA just needs to accept that they can't compete with Call of Duty.

Need For Speed is another franchise that's been going downhill for years. They are running out of ideas for the series and the idea of a non-NASCAR racing game getting a new game every year is just silly anyway. I'm surprised it was so big for so many years but sales have finally been going down the last few years. Nobody cares about street racing anymore and they failed big time when they tried making it a simulation game.

N4S:HP is fantastic, the best arcade racer in years. and shift was pretty good. ok not quite a sim as GT5 but a nice half way between arcade and sim. here's an idea. if your not a fan of a series... don't buy it.

i don't like plums. but the fact i don't like plums does not make me want to deprive the world of plums. i just dont buy them. it easy.

They just need to stop making FPS for like 3 years. Maybe that will make it a little fresh again.

Final Fantasy definitely. I just feel the JRPG formula needs an overhaul. I would pick Call Of Duty as well. The series jumped the shark long ago.

Basically this, i liked Shift and will buy Shift 2 when it's out... I think Shift was more of a toe to test the water and it's confirmed that they are making Shift 2 so i guess the water was nice.

CoD and Rock Band. CoD is self explanitory, and RB just because it's another Activision published title and I'd love to see Activision suffer as much as possible.

Whichever is bigger. I thought they were both published by Activision? Just to be clear tho, CoD, then Activisions second biggest selling title. There we go :)

[QUOTE="johny300"]Uncharted, we need something new after U3. KZ, after 3 GG needs a new IP.

Dude...really? This franchises just started up. Sure there was KZ1 on PS1, but look at the long distance in time between KZ1 and KZ2. Definitely not something thats being milked or needs to die. As for Uncharted, can we give it some time please? The franchise is brand new and just kicking. Heck there are other games that have gone longer. Halo for instance has had 6 games in its universe already. God of War has had 5 games (excluding any mobile games). Pokemon has had 2 billion games which are IDENTICAL to each other save 2 different pokemon. Dont even get me started with Call of Duty, Medal of Honor and Guitar Hero. All I'm saying is, when it comes to franchises that need to die, there are far better candidates. And its not like the KZ and Uncharted franchises are bad or anything. They are critically lauded. I could understand if we were talking about "Big Rigs 3" or sumthing, but these are fantastic games which havent been milked.

MoH was alright, I just expected better. I mean, Bad Company 2 blew me away, so I was pretty pumped for MoH just to realize the game's a shameless CoD clone :? (the only thing that stood out was the sound effects). I wouldn't mind seeing another MoH sequel, assuming they decide to be more original with it.

CoD. Or at least they could wait 3-4 years before copy-pasting the same damn game and spraying a coat a paint on it.

What els.. FF has gone down hill. I think they should let that IP go, and start a brand new one, with some unique features and addictive gameplay.

It's most popular in America, but why do you think they do games in London? And people come out in waves over there to support it? And they want more? Not to turn this into a sports debate, but I really have a strong dislike for American sports haters. It may not be soccer, but it's definitely popular outside of America.

Call of Duty. I can't believe the ratings this game gets. It's just a military shooter with the same old rehashed multiplayer. Can't we have something original damnit?

Trust me it isn't. The world hates American football if not for the arrogance that America refuses to take part in the real international sport. And don't call it soccor.

I'm American, brought up on American football. I've called it soccer my whole life, and will continue to do so. Does that somehow offend you?

People come out in waves? are u sure you arent exaggerating a bit? How many people here know the name of an American Football team that isnt American? This is the way it feels to me: The US saw the established sports out there, Football, Cricket, Rugby, etc... They tried and sucked at them, so they went and created their own sports to be good at. There is nothing inherently wrong about that, except the rest of the world has minor interest in these new sports. Baseball is probably the biggest US sport internationally, and even so, its mostly in popular in the Americas. Europe, Africa, the majority of Asia (barring a few countries) and Oceania dont really care much for it. Practically no one out side of NA cares about American Football. Basketball is better off than American Football, but on the whole, on the world stage, the average commoner around the world doesnt really care about it. How many non american basketball teams can u name that arent olympic teams? how about american football? baseball? But look at soccer...how many teams there are? Look at Rugby or Cricket? Its like me playing dodgeball, getting killed in it, turning around and then creating my own game. I just wish the US public would try join the world in embracing the major sports, but its like they say "well, our country sucks at this sport, and I couldnt possibly root for another country's team, so screw the sport!"

Im just tired of all the music games they need at least a 1year or 2 of rest. I also find it funny that just cause some people didint like 13 that they think ff should die. I dont like DQ but you dont hear me screaming DQ should die.

I disagree. FF still has some of the absolute best music/art direction in gaming. What they need to do is hire a creative writer.

No franchise needs to die, except for maybe Metal Gear. But not because there is anything wrong with it per se, but rather because Hideo Kojima doesnt want to continue it, in fact the reason he made MGS3 was because his fans asked to and from what I have heard he made MGS4 because he was THREATENED to, in fact I heard he got 2 death threats telling him to make the game. No one should be a slave to their own creation.

Call of Duty is the last series that should die, why? Because while it may not be entertaining for us we can all probably agree it is doing a good job keeping the idiots away from our games, it is a very good idiot trap.

Halo and CoD

Both series have out stayed there welcome. unless 343 studios is able to bring Halo back to its former glory I think it should have ended with 3.

As long as there are people willing to buy the game, they can keep them going. They should kill the franchises just because you don't like them? By that logic, all franchises should be killed off because there isn't one out there that is liked by everybody.

did you set yourself up to answer your own question so quickly?

why does it matter who likes what? why should Madden be the series to end when FIFA/NHL are just as old.

define no one else. because if 'no one' else likes football, then I'd have to wonder why Canada has an established football league of their own.

With Shift and Hot Pursuit, the Need for Speed series seems to be heading to the right direction so no the series doesn't need to die for now.
