Guitar Hero, actually Activision is disgusting when it comes to milking, with COD as well(1 every year is milkage, even if each is decent-good).

Pokemon is also up there.

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.teh_VU
Half of those games only have the name in common.

Mario, that is all.

*reads other comments* For the three who posted Halo, you just hate the series or something. Currently there are four Halo games, and one will be out this Fall. Five games in nine years is not milking a franchise.

5 games / 9 years = Halo, the non-milked franchise.

Now for Call of Duty:

11 games / 7 years = COD, the (I'm not sure) franchise. I counted the two games I counted all the games, not just COD1/2/3/4/5/6/7

How on earth is Halo milked? There's been to this point a trilogy and an rts. By that logic, MGS is milked also with 4 titles.

If Halo is on it way to being milked with 5 games in 9 years, better add Killzone, and Resistance both have 3 games, in 3 years for Resistance and 5 years for Killzone. Also Ratchet & Clank it has 8 games and one addon within 8 years.

What do you think is the most milked franchise? A game that never gets mentioned when it comes to milkage is ratchet and clank, theres been loads of them and their all basically all the same..

G-O-M-J
^This is what immediately came to mind when I first read the topic title. Another series that's definately milked is Sonic unfortunately :( Where Mario is concerned, I think his worst milking was during the Gamecube era, Nintendo seem to have laid off the milking a bit as of late.

Yes, because threatening two teenagers for making a RTS mod, two comic book series, a $120 edition, $10 for 3 maps, book series, an upcoming movie, and a 360 theme is not millage? :roll:

The Sims and Mario. Mario makes me laugh with all the sports and everything, but The Sims is just pathetic with all those expansions.

The Sims

The Sims Livin' Large

The Sims House Party

The Sims Hot Date

The Sims Vacation

The Sims Unleashed

The Sims Superstar

The Sims Makin' Magic

The Sims 2

The Sims 2 University

The Sims 2 Nightlife

The Sims 2 Open for Buisness

The Sims 2 Pets

The Sims 2 Seasons

The Sims 2 Bon Voyage

The Sims 2 Free Time

The Sims 2 Apartment Life

The Sims 2 Stuff Packs (Holiday stuff, Family Fun Stuff, Glamour Life Stuff, Happy Holiday Stuff, Celebration Stuff, H&M Stuff, Teen Style Stuff, Kitchen Stuff, Ikea Home Stuff, Mansion and Garden Stuff).

And now the Sims 3, which will start the expansion avalanche all over again.

I don't see how stopping a mod using copyrighted stuff would be milkage, it happened a bit in the mod with (with big TCs such as the Halo Mod). The comics and books would not be enough to be milked.

Also Killzone 2 has 2 maps for $6, and Resistance also has maps that you have to pay money for, and they been out for alot less than Halo. Also is the Halo movie happening I heard that it was canned.

That's the point. Many people buy them solely because they share the name with other games. Just like Mario's face sells games, so too does the name "Final Fantasy." Which is why Squeenix kept the naming convention over the years instead of coming up with an entirely new name.

Guitar Hero. Same thing, just different songs.

Pokemon as well, but I actually enjoy the main games. They are some of my favorites. It's the spin-off games that give the franchise its milkiness to me.

The Sims with its large amount of unnecessary expansions. Mario with its large amount of everything (However I must say that the main platformers are a triumph overall, and the majority of the sports games (Golf, Tennis) are pretty fun. Let's also remember that it's one of the oldest, and most popular VG franchise so it's kinda expected) Guitar Hero for releasing a dozen GH games and expansions in a matter of 4 years.

Yes that's what I mean. The main 13 games have huge popularity due to their names. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that they're bad, but with out their names they would not be as popular.

On Recent concoles I would say Guitar Hero

IMO you cant milk sports games since people are drafted each year and new coaches, plays, players, strategies and features are implimented. Other than that I would say the mario franchise.

Dynasty Warriors. 21 games in the series. 12 spin-offs.

Hit square... hit square... hit square... repeat until XL Legends version is released.

TheLordHimself

It is indeed the most milked title in the history of gaming. I still enjoy it once in a while.

Halo, Guitar Hero, CoD, Mario, Dynasty warriors and FIFA.

Kashiwaba

I forgot about Dynasty Warriors. That's milkage of a mediocre at best franchise.
