True. Some games I just wish are left the way they are, with remakes from time to time just to keep them looking and playing good. One of those games should be Bioshock, nobody needed Bioshock 2, I enjoyed it, but the first one was simply amazing. But hey, on the other hand, I can't wait for a new saga based on the Mass Effect universe or a new Fallout game.
Can't say I speak for Zach, but I can tell you that I am not opposed towards sequels to good games. I am also looking forward to the next installment in the Mass Effect series, but at the same time I feel some games just need to not be made. For example, Assassins Creed: Revelations in my opinion was not needed and actually stagnated the series more than progressed it or made an actual change in the games. This is the type of sequel encouragement that I think should be stopped, the "Oh lets make one a year after the previous game and add in some extras". But yeah, I have no problem with a franchise carrying over to the next console, hell Pokemon does it without much pain so why shouldn't other series do so.[/quote]
I don't like Pokémon, but that's a hell of an example! I would point out in the same category, Gran Theft Auto, we don't get those games EVERY year, but every time they come they BLOW OUR MINDS, we replay them for the sheer fun. that's when it hits me at times "out of my 150+ library of games, less than 20 are really worth it, as in, those are the few ones I really need" Sometimes I look at my games and you know what? If the only games I had (from this gen) were The Witcher, Mass Effect (the trilogy), the first Bioshock, GTA IV, Lost Odyssey, Metal Gear Solid 4, Batman (both Arkham), and maybe, MAYBE InFamous Uncharted, Gears of War and God of War I wouldn't really need any other game. Now you might say "hey, but you said a lot of games", but those games are just a FEW compared to how many are released (AAA) per year, let alone during the whole GENERATION. I'm promising myself, starting right now with what remains of this gen, I'm only buying the stuff that seems immortal to me, from the new IP's to be released, it means, I'm getting Remember Me, from the old IPs, GTA V, MG Rising, Bioshock infinite and... Maybe that's all.
I'm stuck with AC 3 (which I love by the way, though indeed, they should not release another AC like "AC 3 The Mohawk Revelation" or some other bs, just to keep remebring fans every year, their stuff is great, don't spoil by bringing it every damn year, Revelations was great, but I almost abandoned it cause I couldn't get anymore of Ezio), FarCry 3 and DMC (that was a lousy bet) all great games, problem is I didn't hold myself, and bought Max Payne 3, Ninja Gaiden 3, hell i don't even remember the other stuff, it sucks, because I don't even feel like playing all of them, right now, i wanna finish FC 3, AC 3, and the damn Borderlands 2 which is going on a snail's pace. Wasted money and not enough time is what I say to the rest as far as my taste goes... Though I think i DID make a smart move with max payne, I feel I'll love it when i get to it
