Indeed. Mario has been in over 200 games and Guitar Hero is releasing something like 4 or 5 games this year. All of them the same.

sure thing cause we all know that 4 games in a series = milked :lol: Halo is so far from being a milked franchise, it is however, an extremely successful one and I'm sure that that's where your hate is coming from.

Mario. There is no other option. Although Activision seems hell bent on bringing Guitar Hero up to the same level, it'll just take them a long time to catch up.

Call Of Duty. They openly make filler games (COD3& 5). I predict MW2 will rehash. again.

I have a problem with people saying Guitar Hero is milking really badly. It's no different than Rock Band's DLC except for the fact that it's a physical copy and it's cheaper per song. You can't really go much frther than GH has anwya. they made it full band and now are making new games off this engine. When GH5 comes out there will be another new engine and that's fine. It's really not milking in anyway. It's like the Sims

The only fun pokemon games imo were Gold/Silver and less so, Blue/red/green/yellow. Ruby/Sapphire was boring and too short, and I got bored of pearl after the first gym leader.

Mario and Guitar Hero. But on a little rant, how in the hell can people think Halo is being milked? Last time I checked, there were only 4 Halo games along with the MP maps disc.

1. Guitar Hero: Seriously enough. I heard they were coming out with a GH Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam?! Just cuz you could doesn't mean you should. 2. Mario: Type Mario in the Gamespot search bar and check out how mnay results you get. 3. Pokemon: When you start remaking games with the same story and all... it's milked. 4. Ratchet & Clank: Insomniac have released like 20 games in the past 7 years.

[QUOTE="Lyphe2k"] 4. Ratchet & Clank: Insomniac have released like 20 games in the past 7 years.

first of all, how is that milking if they release different games? its not like pokemon where they release remakes with the same content. and R&C only have 9 games. the franchise is just big. thats it.

Milking can be two things. Either 1) it is the overuse of a brand name or character face, in the case of Mario or 2) it is the releasing of many new games over a short period of time with little to no changes to the overall gameplay structure, like R&C or Guitar Hero.

The main Mario games, it's usually once every generation, which isn't a bad thing. It's the offshoots that are the ones that are being milked, but that just saying how well Mario would sell. And to the kid who says that Mario is the same game with the same old story, who plays Mario games for the story anyways? Guitar Hero getting milked, yep, I can say that. Call of Duty isn't too bad, considering that two developers are working with the series, giving each 2 years worth of development time. But to be honest, any franchise is going to be milked if the name sells well, and if the games are well done, who are you to complain about it?

I don't know how I could have forgotten Pokemon. All the games are pretty much the same game, just different monsters.

Also The Sims.

There's nothing wrong with milked franchises, as long as the games are consistently good enough. If the games are consistently crap, then you have a good argument. Cry all you want, but those guys are laughing all the way to the bank either way.

Final Fantasy. First you got 13 main games. Then you have the spin offs like Crisis Core, X-2, etc. Then you have games of completely different genres with the FF title/ characters - Chocobo Racing, Dissidia, and I think there was a Cloud snowboarding game too... Lastly you have two animes and two movies. I'm probably forgetting stuff but you get the point.
