[QUOTE="Zurrur"]

Mario and Zelda

i agree. followed by sonic at a close third.

None of those fanchises deserve to die. Mario and Zelda have been creating great games since they were created and even though sonic has had some mediocre games like Black Knight and Shadow in the last 10 years Sega is starting to fix the problems with the Sonic games and this can be seen by all the great Sonic colours review scores. I think franchises should die if the company doesn't know how to handle them that well anymore, but Sonic doesn't fit that definition as much as before.

Just gonna throw it out there, you guys don't buy and or play the series that you want to die do you?

I wouldint be shocked if that was true.

Pokemon needs to go. Well, atleast for awhile. I've been a long time fan but the appeal for it is quickly disappearing. Ever since the Smogongained popularity, all these psuedo legends and IV/EV training is what all the community talks about. I can't even pick my favorites and battle online knowing people will use ubers all the time. It feels like they release new a pokemon game every year and just shaking my head while looking at the new starters. I will never feel the excitement i got when i first saw the original starters, feels bad man.

Mario, Zelda, and Metroid. Nintendos constant milking of 20 year old franchises is getting old now.

call of duty crash and tony hawk......

Gears of War (GRRRRRRR ROWDY BULKY BRICK SOLDIER WITH MELODRAMATIC CUTSCENES.)

Final Fantasy (4.0 for a franchise that was loved to death.)

Halo (I loved Halo 3 to death but what are they going to make the future games about? Most of the events and stuff that were preceding the Human-Covenant war has already been explained in the expanded universe.)

Fable (Peter, I know you're trying but please. Scrap the series and start fresh.)

zelda, mario, pokemon,halo, final fantasy, silent hill, metal gear solid, call of duty, medal of honor, baseball games, football games,

Lol, MoH was leagues better than BF:BC2, CoD, and pretty much all military shooters I can currently remember, and how can it need to die if this is the first MoH to come out in years?

The two franchises that need to die are Final Fantasy and Rock Band.

I still dont understand why people want a series to just die off. To me it seems a bit...

• Mean
• Selfish
• Arrogant
• Downright Pathetic

Why kill off a series if it is bringing its fans happiness, its developers money and bringing us quality titles at the same time? I really see no harm done by a lot of the series listed here.

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.

lol? Hot Pursuit has an 89 on metacritic!

First of all, how did you manage to fit so much fail into one post? You clearly know NOTHING about American football, probably never even watched or played a game in your life and here you are on a forum trash talking the sport to many of us who grew up playing and watching it, know just about anything there is to know about it, and enjoy it thoroughly. Never seen so many generalizations in one post. Okay, we get it... you don't like America. You and every other foreigner out there. We're tired of hearing it. Also I have to point out the fact that you think Madden should die because it's not popular worldwide when you're not realizing the fact that it doesn't HAVE to be. American football has more than enough fans in the USA alone to keep buying Madden games, and as long as they sell copies EA will keep making them. It's how the world works. Also, you apparently aren't a fan of innovation since you keep saying that Americans sucked at soccer so they just made their own sport. Well, I doubt that's true bu even if it was, every sport had to start somewhere. Whoever invented football took a lot of time and effort into making a whole new game unline any other and it caught on and was a hit. Get over it.

Second of all, why do you care about what sports we Americans enjoy and don't enjoy? How does it affect your life at all? 99% of us couldn't care less if anyone else in the world enjoys our sports. The NFL is huge here, it doesn't have to be huge anywhere else. It doesn't affect us at all. Most people would be shocked if you told them there's an American football league in Japan and also there was NFL Europe. Why? Because we don't care. We don't expect you guys to like it just like you shouldn't expect us to like rugby or SOCCER. If it really bugs you that much that I call it soccer, then you must have some issues as it doesn't affect you whatsoever.

Messiahbolical-

Final Fantasy and Megaman.

And by die, I mean a reboot.

I only time I wouldn't agree with you is if the company has a history of destroying franchises or never tries to improve their franchises like Activision and Koei.

Medal of Honor

No you don't, according to tc :P

[QUOTE="w4rrior17"]
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.II_Seraphim_II

I hate to say this but Il, stop...Your making yourself looking kind of dumb on some of your "points".

First of all, Baseball is NOt American most popular sports internationally, it's basketball, which is played throughout Europe (Spain is a perennial powerhouse), Americas (Argentina especially), Africa (Former Houston Rocket Hakeem Olajuwon comes from africa, so was Patrick Ewing). Baseball is extremely popular over in Asia (china is getting into it, speaks volumn), your comment on American Basketball is really really asnie...The World does not care for it? Tell that to Spain, Argentina, Turkey, Japan, S. Korea and especially China! Chinese watches american NBA almost religiously! I know since I've worked in China and all my friends and relatives there know more about the goings on of the NBA and NBA star better than even some Americans! Your "The Average commoner around world doesnt really care about it" just speak volumns on how little you know about the NBA.......When personnally, I KNOW several Europeans and especially Chinese know MORE about it than some Americans. Ohh let me guess, all of a sudden those are just "minor" issues, just a drop in the ocean right? Way to move the goal posts when things doesn't go your way if you do that!

Mario. Nintendo need to come up with a new franchise that isn't based on characters made years ago. Nintendo played it way to safe this year.

Also, as much as I hate to say this, Metal Gear. At the very least, Konami need to wait 4 or 5 years before releaseing a new one.

Anything based on WWII, street racing (or racing, period), Tony Hawk,and rhythm games, especially Guitar Hero. In my humble opinion, these games are not worth the price of the plastic they came in and have been completely overdone for a quick buck, much like horror films, manufactured popor reality TV

[QUOTE="AncientDozer"] Mario may have to die if only because you need two hands to count most of the games involving him.foxhound_fox

Everytime someone says Mario and Zelda needs to die, a Kitten dies somewhere.....Why? Because all the excuse they can come up with "OMG! The Rehash! OMG, The MILK, OMG!!! I hate it!!! IT's teh KIDDEHH!!!!" This would've been true had not been the fact the games he star, maybe all except MArio PArty have been some of the greatest game ever created. SMG got a AAAA and SMG 1 was GOTY for a reason. Same with Zelda, same with Metriod etc, etc,. Even games like Mario KArt, SSB etc have been fun!

Now Games like CoD or Guitar Hero NEEDS to die because, well, unlike MArio or Zelda, they are basically just "A new coat of paint without any improvements". IE, you played one game, you basically played them all! ie. if you played MW1, once you start MW2....Yeah.....it won't take long for you to feel, "have we been here before?" Same with GH...Different songs, but how long can jam on a fake guitar before the freshness wears off? Same with Mario Party.....Same with RAchet....These dayz, I'm getting so tired of FPS in general that I've quit playing them almost....Why? Basically, if you played CoD, you played them all it feels....That's a huge problem!

Sonic is an obvious one also, but I have too much hope in Sonic still actually. Maybe because I didn't play any Sonic game after Heroes(which I thought was bad) but I just wish they could recoup the team that worked on Adventure and it's sequel, and just go back to that. Seriously, just tighten it up a bit and bring in update graphics. Those seriously were not bad games.

DazedDarkness

Sonic is truly sad...All the fellows who are calling for Mario's doom never ever seems to be callilng for Sonics...And Sonic should have been put to sleep a long time ago! Sad really, none of Sonic's 3D games, save the first one have been any good. They been trash and truly rehashed...And yet, despite all of the truth flying in their faces, Sega fans still are hopping Sonic could achieve greatness...Sad truly sad!

- Assassins Creed

- Medal Of Honor

I would agree with you on Need For Speed up until the newest one which is surprisingly good (I hated the last ones so bad).

But do they still entertain the people who actually bought the game? Maybe some of the sonic games this gen Sonic 06, unleashed have been bad and gotten bad reviews, but maybe the sonic fans who actually buy them every year still enjoy them. As with Activision, people buy their yearly CoD because to them it is well worth the money. And really isnt that all that counts in the end, who cares if it is a rehash or whatever, as long as it is worth the money to its consumers that is all that counts.

I am aware that early in this thread I mentioned that MAYBE the Metal Gear series should end which made my post a bit hypocritical, however I don't really want the series to end but rather to let Hideo Kojima be allowed to develop whatever he wants without being manipulated by his fans even if it means the end of the franchise.
