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.
Remove one game from existence

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:
EDIT: Just for clarity, back to *college*.
It would take almost no effort on anyones part to make Other M never have happened, so I won't pick that one.
I'd pick Final Fantasy 7. I'm pretty sure that has always been, and will always be my default answer to this question. Every little 1 and 0 that comprises its existence is one I would delete like that guy towards the end of Death Note.
I'm sure their would be unforeseeable consequences if FF7 were never made, but if one of them were that 8,9,10,12,and 13 were never made either then I'd be more than okay with that.
My hatred for FF7 is so thick, not only could you pour it on pancakes, you could fill in pot wholes in the road with it and reinforce concrete as well.
This also extends to Dirge of Cerberus, Advent Children, etc.
Luckily it hasn't diminished my appreciation for clouds, and huge tits.

I'd go with half-life because it is an objectively good game that I don't care for therefore shouldn't exist.
Now replace half-life with something like Halo, FF, ME3, or CoD and it would be just as equally stupid but now cater to the majority Escapist fanboy mindset.
What was the point of this thread again?

Pokemon Black and White.
Should this game cease to exist, we will not have Pokemon Black 2 and White 2, and Game Freak will actually have to try and make a game that is as good and memorable as the last four Gens.

Oh god, a world with out Final Fantasy 9 would be a terrible world for meRJ 17 said:Ohhhh I've got one that'll really piss people off.....
Final Fantasy 9. If they cut the series off at 8 by never making a 9, none of the games made after 9 would exist either.
***** all you want, but do the math and you'll KNOW I'd be right to rid the world of every FF after 8.
And really, I would have said 8, but I let that give that one a pass as just being the START of the downhill slide for the series. My only real complaints are that the junction system made it ridiculously easy, and that pretty much every character in the game was an over-acting emo. The card game was fun, though, once you get a handle on the ridiculously complex rules...or just make it so that the entire world only plays by the rules you like.
I would have said 7 just so it'd rid the world of a lot of fanboys/fangirls. >:3
Guitar Hero. It made rhythm games boring for a very long time. I can play real guitar. I don't give a shit about fake plastic guitars. It also put up a barrier between me and my friends at the time because I couldn't play it well and they could. Also, by taking out Guitar Hero, Rock Band goes too.
People, I need your help. Below are the two games I want out of existence but I can't decide and I need you to help me pick. Now:
Hyperdimension Neptunia or
Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2
Hyperdimension Neptunia or
Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2
Make one heads or tails and flip a coin. As soon as the coin flies into the air, in a split second, you will know which one you want it to land on.Porecomesis said:

inb4 ET Ata- oh who the hell am I kidding, I bet half the posts in this thread have that.
Hm.
I would have to say the first Call of Duty.
Because if there wasn't a first one, there wouldn't have been all of the following horrible sequels and what have you.

Surprisingly, no. I'm not even sure it's been mentioned. Call of Duty has actually been in the lead thus far.Esoomspark said:
CoD: Modern Warfare.
The granddaddy of Brown, Smudgy, Realistic, Boring military shooters that spawned a generation of stupid braggarts obsessed with trick shots and kill streaks. Eliminate that, and about half of the last decade's production ceases to exist.
For which I would be *eternally* grateful.
