Most milked franchise

Madden.
Mario may have tons of games, but almost all of them have a few years between them, a new game mechanic, some new design choices, or a complete gameplay overhaul.
Same goes for the other Nintendo franchises.
Call of Duty might be released every year, but you can tell they took the time out to make new maps, polish and tweak the performance, and make a new campaign. Sure, there is a lack of innovation, but you can tell they had some effort.
But Madden....it is the same game. Every year. Every freaking year. Almost no new content, save for the roster and occasional mechanic change, and all of it looks the same. And year after year they still release a new one. Almost no change.
People here complain that something that runs for a long time is milked, but I say something that is the SAME FUCKING THING EVERY YEAR is being milked more than Halo, Mario, Zelda, Metroid, CoD, Final Fantasy, Pokemon, or anything really.
And it's made even worse seeing as the Madden games aren't very good.

adding dollar yen or any other form of currency symbol doesn't prove anything and if you don't like halo fair enough but doing the $ony n?nt?ndo or micro$oft just makes you like like a fanboy of the other companies and its kinda annoying to read itTEMHOTA said:
The later game is styled to be like the older ones. Why not compare Super Mario Galaxy 2 to Super Mario Bros.?mb16 said:here is your order of flame sirNeoStar said:
yes as there massive differences between this:
and this
apart from some art changes
Call of Duty. At least with Mario each new addition is different. You have the 3D platformers, the 2D platformers, the RPGs, the Mario Party series, and even the quirky sports games (this from a guy who hates sports games). But COD does the bare minimum of a change for each sequel and not all of the change is that good.
Ahahahaha, you're funny.Sgt. Sykes said:
It's not like Valve put out Portal, TF2, Left 4 Dead, or anything else with a very high critical reception in the past ten years. Oh, wait...
Also, as much as people want to believe it's Call of Duty or Guitar Hero, which were literally milked to death, the most accurate answer is Street Fighter and Mega Man. Go ahead, count the number of itterations and spin-offs of either one. It's ASTOUNDING. Sure, SF has mostly remained good, and Mega Man has made a come back, but doesn't change the sheer insurmountable figure of how many titles they both have. (Last I checked Megaman was around 45 releases)
Final Fantasy and Call of Duty
Halo is not milked, it may have some stuff like an action figure or shirts, but alot of shit does that.

I don't believe in Halo being milked and I do believe mario is milked alot but it isn't necessary to call me an Ignorant Fucktard because I believe Final fantasy and CoD are milked more.Kermi said:
Regardless, if anything milks more than any Franchise, its the Cars franchise. Poor Pixar, being forced to make something just to get some money for a bigger, better movie.
Well no, it's not old or has lost it's touch. It evolved, changed, that's not bad in this case.
I think it's got a lot of power left. It's simply a great game
EDIT: SORRY! Wrong thread.
I know a lot of people have said this but I'll say it again.
HALO

HALO
Already been said plenty of times, but Star Wars and pretty much every Nintendo franchise. Christ, guys, I know that from a business standpoint it's usually good to stick with what you know, but sometimes you have to realize that you have to let go. Same with the Sonic franchise, now that I think of it, although the difference between Mario and Sonic is that good Mario games still get made, while sonic has been dead for years.
first of all, a milked franchise isn't necesarilly a series of bad games based on the same franchise, but games that belong to the same franchise.
For example, I am quite sure that mario games are always different and fun and what not, but it dosn't change the fact that the selling point is that it is Mario!.
The same goes to Final Fantasy, even if the games are not bad or are different or anything! They are still final fantasy!.
and now, more OT:
Mario
Final Fantasy
Halo (not for the games, but for the rest of media that appeared after them, only trying to get mony out of them)
Star Wars.
Sonic

Sonic
Pretty much Star Wars, CoD, Guitar Hero, many sports games, and mostly Sonic. At least with Mairo, they still churn out good games and Nintendo doesn't rely on him all the time while with Sonic not so much and its Sega's main cash cow more than anything they have under the belt. Not to mention I'm still interested in Mario and other Nintendo games, but lost interest in Sonic games altogether.
The sims, the amount of expansion packs for the first one alone is more than most game series, some more would be mario, zelda, final fantasys (as much as i like them after 11 they all sort of went downhill).
Mario/Star Wars and anything Nintendo produced, to be honest. Doesn't mean they're bad, but GOD they have been milked.
Also MegaMan.
Also MegaMan.
