Half Life 2. Because fuck all of you.
Though I really would just get rid of Duke Nukem Forever. It doesn't need to exist.

Half Life 3 ... What's that? It has not even been announced, yet alone released yet?
Well... sure, that is what you remember it as
Reshaping Time is a funny thing to spectate.
Alternatively, on a more serious note, whatever title that introduced On-Disc Day-1-DLC, let divine reality-removing judgement be fallen upon it.

No no no, if you want to fuck everyone over, get rid of Super Mario Brothers. NES doesn't sell nearly as much, game industry possibly flops, everyone sadfaces.Spartan Altego said:
the whole bad mortgages/credit default swap scam thing that was a major contribution to the recession was a game, a gambling game pure and simple, that we could have definitely done without.
As for a game that takes place in a more discrete, hypothetical logical space...you know what? Screw Monopoly. I can't help but wonder how much mindless, rote action get shoehorned into boring games because of Monopoly's influence. Monopoly is a horrible game, with barely any skill or agency, and its spread out over endless, boring hours, where half the time you already know whats going to happen and your just going through the motions. Seriously. When was the last time anyone actually had fun playing Monopoly, BECAUSE of Monopoly? Because I'm pretty sure that event is a myth.

Imma go with Mass effect 3, I didn't hate it but it was a real disappointment in the way of story to me. All it did was ride off the success of mass effect 2. And of course the ending was just underwhelming.
I strike it from this earth and have them do it over again.

Diablo 3 for sure, I've never been a huge fan of the series, but some of my friends are, and want me to play with them. I just can't do it though, i just find the game play to be terribly boring. The whole this is a mess that i could rail against for paragraphs, it not existing would make the world a better place for me, and it would remove a great stain from Blizzard's record.
World of Warcraft (MMO). Spent 3 years of my life playing that game, time I could of put to better use.
Call of Duty 4...
Oh I see there are other bright people here. Well I should have figured.
While it may not be bad in and of itself but it is the root of all evil in terms of the stagnation of the FPS genre to the date, and while it does bring a lot ( AND I MEAN LOT) of money into the industry, most of that money ends up going in the wrong direction.

Damn dude, how about you tell us how you REALLY feel about it??Black Arrow Officer said:
I played WoW for... lemme think, about 5 1/2 years, with the last 2 years being far more casual than the former 3 1/2. And while I can agree that it has a potential to be "destructive" I don't agree with it having ACTUAL PHYSICAL addiction, forcing you to play. Those 3 1/2 hardcore years of gaming were just that, gaming, and I never felt overwhelmingly compelled to play whatever time of the day. Maybe I was spared because of my young age(9 when I started, 14 when I quit, 16 now) when I started playing, and while I can still admit WoW had a fundemental factor in causing the gamer in me that I am today, it didn't really go beyond that.
My first thought about a game that I want to be removed from existence is Devil may cry 4. My second thought is to slap you in the bollocks for reminding me of it.
I know this will be controversial, but...Skyrim. The fact that it sold so colossally well has, I think, cemented in Bethesda's mind that it's OK to release what is essentially an unfinished, glitch ridden game. I mean, some of the bugs on the PS3 were game-breaking, imploding save files and the like. When they patched it, the patch introduced even more bugs. Now they're doing timed dlc, so the 360 gets it first, the PC only gets it later, and so far, the PS3 hasn't got it at all. It's ridiculous, and the game gets perfect tens from reviewers and millions of sales. I get that it's a massive, engrossing experience. However, it's incomplete, no matter how you look at it, especially on the PS3, and the timed/exclusive DLC just makes it even worse. I don't think it's a bad game, but I think it's popularity and acclaim are giving Bethesda the wrong message, that these sorts of practices are OK, which they most definitely are not.
Am I the only one who feels that removing Call of Duty 4 wouldn't have stopped a generation of stupid games? There would have been something else for people to latch on to and create stupid knock offs, like Guitar Hero for example.
Or maybe I didn't read the forums thoroughly enough to find something like this.
OT: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD. I fucking hate that game with a passion. One of the few purchases I utterly regret and despise paying money for.

This. Also, there is always something to be learned from every game, even if it is just a list on how not to do it. If you take that away you are limiting the material that those who want to make games in the future will use to both inspire and refine their own ideas.Mr Cwtchy said:
If I could remove every MMORPG, I would. Because of the way their profit models work, their goal is to suck up as much of your time as possible. My brother dropped out of college because he played too much EQ1. He just went back, though. I'm so happy for him. And jealous that he understands calculus so much better than me.Black Arrow Officer said:
