1. He's the father of console videogames, that's never going to happen. 2. One of the most critically acclaimed series in games. No. 3. One of the best selling franchises the last two generations and put Microsoft on the map in the game industry. No. 4. I don't care much for FF, but millions of others and basically all of Japan do. 5. Great fighting series, why get rid of it? 6. Uhm, there have been like, three games in this series and they're all good. Why should it go? 7. An awesome action series that keeps getting better. No Try again, buddy.

I'll be honest about Banjo-Kazooie. The latest game (Nuts & Bolts) while decent, felt like a gigantic middle finger (to me and many others) after waiting 8 years expecting a REAL sequel to Banjo-Tooie (thats right, I don't even consider Nuts & Bolts a TRUE Banjo-Kazooie game). So if Rare was to continue the Nuts & Bolts route, you shouldn't be surprised to see that people would rather see Banjo-Kazooie die.

I will admit that I haven't played the latest one, but I hear it's pretty good. I don't think the series needs to die though, especially when compared to many other franchises.

Mario games of all sorts except maybe the 3D ones as long as there isn't a 2 slapped onto it (points at Mario Galaxy 2). Halo needs to be given a rest for a little bit, depends on what they do with it though. Basically all generic FPS's need to go into hibernation. Any game where there is a 10 or higher attached to it needs to stop, immediately.

Anyway, franchises that I think need to die:

Sonic (I actually don't want that series to die, it just needs to be SERIOUSLY re-worked)

Guitar Hero/Rock Band

Crappy casual franchises on the Wii (Carnival Games, Deca Sports, etc.)

What's wrong with Mario Galaxy 2? It's the sequel to what is generally regarded as the best game of 2007. Just because there hasn't been a direct sequel to a 3D Mario game before doesn't mean it's going to be bad.

I think its stupid to want to see franchises die. That said, i hope Halo bites the dust. What can i say, im being honest, i HATE the Halo culture and its pre-puberty crowd with a passion. Move on Bungie, or go home.

[QUOTE="bingbaocao"]

[QUOTE="dragonfly110"]

yeah, although some of the DS ones arent that bad, but the main console ones are useless.

dragonfly110

the handheld ones have been decreasing in quality as well, it's becoming clear that sonic's formula just isn't cut out for anything more powerfull then the DS

yeah, well I may be biased for the series (look at my siga nd avi) but I think a new Jet set radio should come out.

Only played the Dreamcast one :(

EDIT : My picks are... Sonic, Mario, Final Fantasy, Halo, Call of Duty, Medal of honor, Guitar Hero, Lots of spin off games, A little DBZ, Need for Speed needs to get back to "Most Wanted" , God of war, Gears of war...

Seriously the halo hate on this board is ridiculous and personally I find your vendetta against people who enjoy halo offensive. I suppose its "cool" when you're younger to hate on popular things.

I'm sure sheep would get their waggles in a knot if people called them kiddy (or worse) for liking zelda or LKS or some other game. Now imagine if a poster said he HATED Wii gamers for what they had done to gaming with their "pre-pubescent" attititudes, console and games?

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"][QUOTE="Roushrsh"]Nintendo franchises... don't get me wrong, I like mario, metroid, zelda, kirby, etc, etc, etc as much as the next guy...Roushrsh
You going to finish that post?

Sure. We've seen too many of them. I'm hoping Nintendo tries some new hard core franchise rather than sticking with old ones and putting out casual junk. I've enjoyed most of their games, but they should really try their hand at something new... Do any of their games contain voice acting? Their games were fun when I had the attention span of a cow and enjoyed watching a plumber jump over plants and eat mushrooms. Zelda's still fun, but it feels like I'm playing the same game over and over again. 8 dungeons, get a prize at the end of each one and complete them. Motion plus gives me hope of something more unique to come. I'm one of those who tried getting the wii everyday since launch and finally got it a few months later by going 5 hours before the store opened. Maybe I'm spoiled by better graphics. Hmm...

Metroid Prime 3 had some voice acting for most characters, alll but Samus, and in the next game in the series unveiled at E3, they have a voice actor for Samus, personally I think it's a pretty bad voice actor, not her voice but how she speaks, but oh well, it's a start.

Dynasty Warriors

Samurai Warriors

Orochi Warriors

Either stop making new ones or revamp the gameplay entirely. It's fun the first time you played it a few years back. Now, you have many other games with better enemy AI, a combat system other than pretty much button-mashing and killing hundreds of cannon fodder. Other than that Guitar Hero needs to stop releasing so many games in such a short period of time, can't they just release the songs as dlc? I'm sure they would get less flak for that. And unfortunately, Sonic hasn't been able to move past the 2D generation. Metroid succeeded, so did Mario, if only Sonic can find its proper place.

Are you kidding? Those are like the best games ever. Although I haven't played their recent games, they can't be so bad that they need to die.. =( I think NFS: Underground games and Tony Hawk games need to quit. And the Lego games.

Sonic, easily. The franchise hasn't had a good game since Sonic Adventure, which also happens to be my favorite Dreamcast game.

Overdone? Over-rated? No. All three of these series have continually (and consistently) churned out great games. These are three series that need to keep pushing forward, and need to keep on going.

Put Resident Evil out of its misery. The characters are all ridiculous now - how many times is Wesker gonna be the stale bad guy? - and the game lost its soul. Capcom should keep making action games like RE4 and 5, but call them something else AND make another suvival horror series. I'd buy both, but calling these new games "Resident Evil" is no good. Bring back the mansions and teh scary!!!

trollop_scat
i'm gonna agree with you on this one. The series needs a reboot. 5 was a rehash of archaic gameplay cliches with a terrible storyline ontop. Without coop, RE5 would have scored a 7 or lower

I disagree on the iD statement and also the latest Tony Hawk game looks innovative with the mechanic skateboards deck.

I disagree with Devil May Cry.

Becuse I don't like X game series noboy else who does should be allowed to enjoy them ever again. Sums this thread up.
