If you could erase a game/series of games from ever being made...

I would like to eradicate GTA and Halo if only to get rid of the idiotic whining fanboys at my school, who act like I know nothing about games when I say I don't like them.
(The exception being GTA: San Andreas, that game was pretty cool.)

Yeah hater do need to beat.Frenger said:
I would not do this because somewhere someone would like the game I'm killing and that would just be selfish.
World of Warcraft, simply because it kind of spawned a whole generation of MMOs. Without that, The Old Republic might have been Knights of the Old Republic 3. It's my only reason.
I would go as far as to say 99% of all sports games. Reasons are:Signa said:
1. gaming is about the things you cannot do (drive Ferraris, going around gunning aliens, etc). If you wanna play football, basketball, etc, go out and play it!
2. The yearly updates we get. There's no need for them. Maybe one new footy/ golf/ tennis game once every 3-4 years when A.I., graphics, etc have improved that much, but it's just plain sickening to see these yearly updates with the only differences being name changes and a modified presentation.
3. When the yearly titles go obsolete, second hand sections of game stores and just SWAMPED with old sports titles. I went into Gamestation yesterday and they had 2 SHELVES of PS2 football games!
I actually bought that game having been promised a fantastic, gripping, emotional story. If you don't erase it for being pornographic material (I never saw any in this game as I grew tired before I got there (thankfully)) then it should be erased with any others like it for being so badly written.NeutralDrow said:
Unless of course it was badly written due to poor translation. But seriously, it just went on and on and on.
Sad to say, but I suspect we have different standards. I've heard the same promises, and given my previous experiences with eroge visual novels (including one by the same creators), I'm not only obligated to play the original dramatic one, but I'm still hopeful.Terramax said:
Also, why would you buy an eroge if you found pornography objectionable? I mean, it's supposed to be really light on the sex, anyway, but that sounds roughly like a PETA member buying a mink coat.
I don't hate MMO's, I hate what they do to companies. For instance, the most obvious example, Blizzard. Before WoW, Blizzard was coming out with games fairly often. Then when WoW came online, everything stopped for years. They're only now getting back into the swing of things.
I don't hate WoW. I play WoW. But I like me my Diablo and Starcraft.

it would be interesting to see how gaming would start then, maybe now we'd still be at the nintendo 64 eraFanusc101 said:
Like I said I was promised a story of high calibur (the reviews I read for it really hyped it up to be something like it was to Broken Sword: Knight's Templar's standards). I'll buy any videogame if I'm told it has a very good story as well as, like you said, the erotica was supposed to be very light (and meaningful to the plot).NeutralDrow said:
Never played Broken Sword (or even heard of it, actually). I judge game stories based on <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.128851>Tsukihime or <url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fate/stay_night>Fate/Stay Night. I rather doubt Kana will measure up to either of those in my mind, but I still have no reason to doubt I'll enjoy the game.Terramax said:
Besides, making Kana not exist would generally mean that eroge focusing on story and drama rather than sex would take a strong setback (possibly even delaying or destroying TYPE-MOON, an unforgivable consequence), and specifically mean that A Drug That Makes You Dream wouldn't exist.
Really, I dislike this thread topic a lot. It really been either totally pointless thought experiments or thinly veiled attacks on games people just don't like. I think the worst part is the people wishing WoW wouldn't exist. I find it sad that only one person besides me has even remembered <url=http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/8787/everquest.jpg>why that's completely useless.
doom and any FPS's to follow. they are cloging up the market 20 to one of any other type of game.
As much as I fully agree with you sentiments, I really disagree on saying Doom should have not been made. I only fully played it for the first time a year ago, having only played the shareware version when it came out, and I was blown away at how good of a game it still was after a decade and a half. No, the gaming industry is not suffering because of doom; it's suffering because everything wants to be like Doom, and what it spawned. I mean, why don't we just go blame Pong for 80% of today's games sucking. Pong is what started it all, after all.you rolled a one said:
mario 64 (possibly the whole series) you think PONG would fuck things up?!?! take a look at this *****
or streetfighter... the whole series can go to hell actually, it's all about guilty gear anyway...but then there's the possibility that without SF being created, fighting games wouldn't have caught on and then GG wouldn't have been made, and then my beloved Blazblue would never be created... but on the flip side, if it weren't created, i wouldn't miss it at all due to never knowing about it's existence... a double edged swrod I guess
DEFINATLEY sports games... then we wouldn't have as many people calling themselves 'gamers' without even having played a goddam zelda game

I would erase the Guitar Hero series, stupid losers making such a fuss over playing plastic guitars that mess up your wrist after an hour and makes all non-gamers and posers feel cool. Seriously, losers who actually get good at GH and play songs like Through The Fire And Flames get more attention than a small handful of people who can actually play those songs on real guitar.
