Top #1 pick- The Uncharted Series. I find Nathan Drake to be one of the most insufferable, annoying, inconsistent characters in all of gaming. The first game was fun, but he was still really annoying throughout the entire game. The moment that I realized I hated Nathan Drake was, *spoilers* I guess, at the beginning of the game in the museum. He bitches and moans about killing innocents when his friend brings TRANQUILIZER GUNS to help them steal valuable artifacts; okay, I get it, Nathan Drake doesn't murder innocents. But then you get to the roof and pull a man off so you don't get caught, and he falls at least 200 feet into a raging river below in the middle of the night. No cut scene, no breaking flow to mourn this guy who is quite clearly dead, you just do it in gameplay and the character never bats an eye. He's a terrible character and I want to see him go away.
Other than that, I can't think of much. I agree that Final Fantasy needs to be redeemed, not destroyed, another throwback like 9 would be nice. There needs to be no more Kane and Lynch games, and so help me god if they make another Too Human instead of Eternal Darkness, there will be rage...

Actually, think about it. Looking back for the FF franchise would mean making a gritty, post-industrial setting with darker themes than previously considered and more deeply explored characters who have full-on existential crises. Weird, huh?
Oh, and of course, IX was excellent, so I'm sure the look back would be great. IX hit all the right notes without hitting them too hard. Nostalgiac, but more like you just bought a fresh cut of FFIV/V from the market than pulling it out as taco meat later on. Shut up, the metaphor works.

Mario
Zelda
Metroid
Halo
CoD
Guitar Hero/Dj Hero/Rockband
Tony Hawk

Pretty much all franchises with more than one title in it, so ALL OF THEM
I want some original IP's for a change.
Please...

I am. From what little ive seen, it looks like an actual game. hopefully it can be a bit of a redemption.Austin Howe said:
I have not played a Leisure Suit Larry game, but what I saw of the most recent one makes me feel terrible for him.
I'm tempted to say Fable, because #3 sucked big nasty donkey balls, but #1 was awesome and so was #2, albiet for different reasons. The series has so much potential though, so I'd hate to see it go away. There actually aren't many games series' I'd wish to end. Metal Gear Solid, maybe.
yeah i agree. i wont be hyped into it buy ill check out gameplay videos and reviews before i buy this one though.coalheartly said:
ot: wow...alot of hate. personally if a series is making people happy, then go for it. it might not be my tastes but if it is making people happy then i dont see why it should die really.
but for arguments sake, i am getting sick and tired of shooters being anything related to COD (im not saying cod is the all mighty creator of its style, just saying thats the generalization i am using) and i am so sick and tired of its type of gameplay, i want my tactical, well planned and executed shooters please (a.k.a. socom 4 you might make me break my ps3 from so much nerdgasms coming out)
not trying to incite flames or anything, but if your game became a humongous hit, would you change the name of the title? the games title became instant recognition in its time, and slapping that name with a 2 on it guaranteed the average person would see it and go "oh yeah, i saw such and such, and it was pretty cool/i wanted to try that" and then they would go from there.Ironman126 said:
plus most of the gameplay/style stayed the same over the years, there are lots of differences for sure, for the more hardcore person to notice, but for the average person they were pretty similar game style wise.
Well, yeah! If they ever decide to release the damn game I'll get pretty excited about it.Austin Howe said:
its probably most of them...or none.
but i guess if they were forced to be creative and come up with something new, the high blood pressure would blow their mind.

From what I've seen/read, Versus will more than likely make or break the series for the next generation of consoles. Although I particularly enjoyed XIII, I am well aware that many do not. However, I don't think it's gotten to a point where the series needs to "die". I just think people need to stop expecting it to be perfect and enjoy the series for what it is.Blazingdragoon04 said:
Just out of curiosity, why must Uncharted die so badly? I know that everyone is entitled to their opinion on the series, but I just find it hard to believe one could wish death on a series that a vast majority of people like...or at least enjoy a little bit.KILLERTHING said:
I say nothing about CoD because I thought 4 (and only 4) was good and i honestly forgot.minxamo2 said:
I really hate uncharted because of in my opinion it has horrible story and characters/boring repetitive combat and the platforming I thought would have been good but ultimately no it wasn't.
The only thing I like in uncharted was the graphics but then thats not really a plus when you have so much bad gameplay/crap story and random-not-core-part-of-gameplay quick time events.

My count is around 6 times since I've first seen it back in September. (maybe be off)SilverUchiha said:
Anyhoo, onto the business at hand.
-World of Warcraft: Because as a game, it actively wants to keep you from having fun except between grind sessions. The entire game is based on mental conditioning and social entrapment, offering no closure, and no escape from the need to get bigger numbers.
-Pokemon: The game remains unchanged from the original in perhaps the most direct manner possible, and there isn't really any story or other continuity worth following. It's literally just a commercial farce at this point, no matter how much interconnected Poke'swag they wave in front of our eyes. I mean, Hell. At least the other Nintendo Perennials try to change the gameplay elements up from time to time (well, not Mario Galaxy 2, I guess).
-First Person Shooters in general.
I've tried to be nice to these in the past, but it's been what, 4 years? I've played maybe ONE shooter that didn't come across as incredibly generic or highly overrated (the original L4D)?
And why? Because they had to be dumbed down. Why? Marketing accessibility.
When I am told repeatedly that my favorite shooters suck in comparison to the glory of Black Ops (y'know, a game that is so easy to exploit that it turned megabucks despite the core development team leaving the company?) there is something seriously wrong.
Not only is the market stagnating, it's contracting.
Now having actually played CoD4.3 and Halo 3.3, I've decided that if the shooter market exists solely to be exploited year after year, then fuck it. Scorched Earth for everyone involved. At least try to develop some niche' shooters guys. What the fuck is wrong with the world when the most "niche'/interesting" shooter coming out is being published by Square-fucking-Enix? And a sequel, no less?
