Remove one game from existence

[Austin Howe]

Final Fantasy XII. Now it's not the worst one, but after playing it I was convinced that the series, experimental as it is, should more or less be a series of traditional JRPGs. What made the best age of the series great was experimentation with the kinds of stories being told, as well as experimentation with system mechanics within a given, somewhat strict systematic framework.

Think of it this way: the difference between any of the games between Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy X was like the difference between the different Street Fighter series. The difference between XII and XIII is like the difference between Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 and Samurai Showdown V Special.

That said, I wouldn't want it to be as strict as it is with the Dragon Quest games. That's like the difference between Street Fighter II: The World Warrior and Street Fighter II: Champion Edition.

Final Fantasy 2. So there will only be one. That way the title, at last, makes some fucking sense.

I'd erase that game because it fucking sucks.

 

[Adam Locking]

DmC: Devil May Cry. I don't care if it ends up a good game, that'll only make me wish it didn't exist even more. I want Devil May Cry 5 dammit, they can't just up and leave Nero unexplained.

Towards this goal, I would remove God of War, thus stopping the original Devil May Cry series from having any competition from those clones and securing the rest of the series' success.

Who knows, it may even have a knock-on effect to stop Dantes Inferno from ever happening?

Dragon Age 2. Seriously, the character retconning, the lore shattering... it's all disgusting and should die. Better combat from the mage's perspective ONLY does not make up for all the crap they made us swallow along with it. No, wipe this crap off the face of the earth and give us a true sequel with real Darkspawn, not those gumby-like atrocities. Give us a sequel where something or someone who was from the first game still ACTUALLY LOOKS AND ACTS LIKE THEY DID BEFORE.

*deep breaths* Nope, not gonna get my rage on right before work. Nope nope nope. *sigh* After reading David Gaider's books (Interesting stories kinda poorly executed, felt more like fanfiction that a novel) it's even more astounding how much they changed the darkspawn.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Call of Duty 4, not because it is in itself a bad game, but because it has been the inspiration behind the engine killing gaming.

 

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

Well I can't say CoD because then Spec Ops: The Line wouldn't exist.

Hmm, this is a stumper . . .

You know what? Lair. Remember Lair? No? Exactly.

 

[DanteLives]

Dynasty Warriors 6.

God damn that game was horrible. It almost killed the entire franchise.

 

[The White Hunter]

NiGHTS into Dreams, because then Yuji Naka wouldn't have had a ***** fit in the Saturn era over the cancelled sonic game using his engine and Sega might well still be making hardware.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

Frogger: the great quest: I will never be in pain again.


Or Bubsy...FUCK BUBSY.

However, I pick Sonic 2006...I'm giving you this one-time chance to fix this game, Sega. This one fucking chance. Keep the origina ideas for it, and we will be even.

 

[Azo Galvat]

Madden, or whatever started all these sports games.

 

[Bostur]

Doom or Wow. Both were good innovative games that deserve praise, but they have inspired so much rubbish that the world might have been better off without them.

 

[bafrali]

Could it be DmC or Other M? Now that i think about it, i would say Half Life episodes since we couldn't get any meaty Half Life sequal because of them.

 

[Filipe Mesquita]

i'd say wow for stupidly selfish reasons. i hate that kind of game, and i hate every clone it spanned. even more than i hate CoD.

 

[DugMachine]

Well, if I could remove a game from existence. No questions asked and no wrong done. I'd kill WoW.

This game is the most harmful thing to have happened in the gaming genre. It butchered the lore of Warcraft and turned millions of people into mindless husks. WoW isn't a game. It's a place you meet up and grind indefinetly. I think people can do better than this, regardless if they like it or not. Might as well just remove the game from existance. Also, dumb corporate people always try force game-makers to make their MMO like WoW instead of creating something original. Too much money is wasted into projects that can't compete with WoW, and because of it, those studios get closed down shortly after. Why can't game companies just focus on making good managable games? Start out small and then build up the player base? Actually, maybe that's what newer companies get for being stupid in the first place.

Ah well. Guess it's a good thing WoW exists. Survival for the fittest and all that.

It's not like my friends play that dumb game to begin with so what do I really care anyway?

So I guess I wouldn't remove any game.

How much innovation can MMOs have before they're just completely different games though? I understand your frustration with WoW as pretty much everyone is trying to recreate their success but even the 'fresh' MMOs are bland. Idk this is probably just my fanboy talking as I love WoW with a passion... bored with it but it'll always have a place in my heart <3


Anyways if I could remove any game? Well not out of hate but i'd definitely remove one for the lulz. How about... Mario. Just any and all mario games ever. Imagine a gaming world with no mario

 

[penguindude42]

Uncharted. That series is a plague.

 

[Pink Gregory]

Sonic 06. Do I even have to get into why?

COD4 may have popularized boring shooters, but if it want COD, developers would have latched onto something else.

How is it that the sort of modern warfare gun-porn thing has really moved into the mainstream recently?

It can't be just CoD, I'm sure; I mean, it's always been a market, but never the mass market.

Then again, I'm not one to pay much attention to actual society, so I could be quite out of touch.

it would be Call of Duty for me, if it wernt for that game, we wouldnt have those obnoxious boys calling people fags or jews instead of just calling them stupid.

heh.

Right, CoD is responsible for that, sure...

 

[Lunar Templar]

Goldeneye. And just like that, the console obsession with FPS games is gone. I wonder what this generation would have looked like in that world.

i see your Golden Eye,

and raise you Wolfenstien 3D

FPS's don't even GET to exists

 

[Danoloto]

World of Warcraft. A part of me wants those years back

 

[ramboondiea]

nocturne, and not because its a bad game, but because it was a fantastic game that was I really enjoyed, and will never find out what happens as there will never be a sequel and i wont be bugged by all the loose ends,


also the bloodryne series would never have existed, which i would consider a juicy bonus haha

 

[lacktheknack]

Postal. Imagine if people COULDN'T point to any game as a straight-up "murder-simulator".
