Remove one game from existence

[KoudelkaMorgan]

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?

And when I say "existence", I mean it. It will never have existed. That's the only rule. It can't be replaced or redone. It never existed, and it never will. So if it's a sequel in a series, you are leaving that series with an incomplete story. It will never be completed. If it's been used as inspiration or even for its engine by other future games, those games as you know them will also cease to exist.

Whether it's due to all the suffering you went through playing it or the damage you feel it has done to the gaming industry, somehow this game's removal will do more good in your mind.

Think hard, you're changing history here.

This one. This is the game I'd remove from existence.

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.

What game?

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

Oh god, a world with out Final Fantasy 9 would be a terrible world for me

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

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.

Always works for me.

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.

 

[Signa]

I'm going to say Halo. A removal like that would send MASSIVE ripples through time. I wonder if gaming would be as main stream as it is now if it wasn't for Halo.

Surprisingly, no. I'm not even sure it's been mentioned. Call of Duty has actually been in the lead thus far.

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.

Banjo Kazooie nuts and bolts, a thousands times over

 

[Pink Gregory]

Stronghold 3.

Less of a removing, more of a "You don't get any pudding until you GET IT RIGHT!"

Also, seeing the obvious majority of CoD in this thread.

If it wasn't CoD, it'd be something else, it's complete coincidence that the mass market seems to be populated by the type of 'gamer' that is associated with CoD, if it wasn't CoD, we would all be complaining about something else, because publishers would have latched onto anything that sells and ran it into the ground in the same way.

Deus Ex because I'm sick of hearing about it.

Pettiness is underrated.

I would remove your favorite game from existence.

E.T. for Atari 2600.

Gaming history is now totally, completely, irrevocably changed. A whole 30 years of gaming... rewritten... by Atari.

Silent Hill Homecoming. Just get rid of it! Or Silent Hill Origins. I'm not too picky, just get rid of one of those. They had their moments and the boss fights in Homecoming were quite good but overall it felt too damn boring.

For me its that whole series. Don't get me wrong I actually think every Silent Hill game is an awesome thing including the ones you don't like. I've also played every one from start to end. But it felt like some kind of weird compelling horrifying duty or something.

Having said that though Origins if you disregard the beginning and the end is actually one of the best ones in my opinion. Homecoming isn't great but it gets more bad press than it deserves.
