Give it a rest already developers!

[quietchat]

Since I've made a thread about games that need sequels, now comes when a game has been beaten to near death to pump out another game, for example our good friend Megaman, who now trudges with two other character in games that feel sluggish, play in 3-d and just cause a headache, curtesy of the X series. What about the Battle Network series?

What games are just way too far gone and need a rest? What needs to be killed off while they can still be remembered as classics of the ages? Or what games that are in development should just be scrapped right now?

[Sadrith]

probabaly dynasty warriors unless they reinvent the series then it should die

[Koopaking]

I'm gonna piss everyone off and say Halo.

[Sun Tzu]

mario, god please murder that villanous zombie....

[Koopaking]

Mario is no zombie. At least all of his games continue to be fun after all these years as they come out with more. One game series that has been running a while and started out with fun games and now makes crap games is Sonic the Hedgehog.

[quietchat]

Halo I agree with (Though they aren't planninga Halo 4. The next thing is an RTS)

Dynasty Warriors I agree with.

Mario, not so much. Every game re-invents itself from the previous one in some way. We went from the normal goomba hopping to pulling veggies, to relying on a new host of power-ups and no more levels that were purely straight forward. Then Super Mario World which brought a new character plus a much more free envirnment, then Mario 64 with offered abolute freedom into the 3D world. Sunshine I actually liked, and it was pretty different. But then you get to Mario Galaxies, and almost every world is different.

[Russkie]

Resident evil, I may enjoy them, but I am getting tired of those.

Here's a link to two different videos for the next sonic game, take a look and see if you think that this one will be a flop too. Kay Koops?

[Corwin]

Goodbye Halo, goodbye Dynasty Warriors, goodbye Sonic, goodbye Devil May Cry, goodbye Need for Speed, goodbye Tenchu, goodbye Disney's line of child friendly and famous person inspired video games, and I'm sure there are a few other things that I can't think of

[quietchat]

@_@ Corwin know's what he don't like. You forgot movie based games, there's only been like 10 good ones since the industry started. (One of them Scarface on last gen consoles, and the Wii)

[Sun Tzu]

I suppose this is the call to defend myself?

Mario is fantastic, no arguements there, but the last legendary mario game was mario 64. The last game which still holds the previous glow of the old snes and original nintendo days. But that was it, sunshine was ok, just another game not worthy of mario, Mario galaxies has no chance of standing up to the passage of time.

But I have played, tennis, golf, partied, and whatever god aweful sport Nintendo has decided to pin upon their flag ship. If you insist on making Mario games, then so be it. No qualms there, but please, please, stop raping Marios good name by making him play soccer with a turtle.

PS: I liked mario kart. Am I a hypocrite?

[Koopaking]

Mario does everything with turtles. And Mario Galaxy was awesome. And Mario Kart is awesome.

I know of another really annoying and stupid series that has been releasing the same game every year for about 15 years in a row. They need to stop making it.
MADDEN
I hate Madden.

[quietchat]

I know, EA has had a freaking monopoly on most of the different sports games. Each game is essentially a downgrade of the one before. Did you hear they are actually being sued by gamers because they hold a monopoly?

[Corwin]

That's actually pretty interesting, I wonder how that is going to turn out, but yeah I don't really see why there are all these sports games on video games systems, it's not like the jocks who play sports are going to pay $300+ for a system just so they can buy 2 or 3 new sports games each year for the next 3-4 years, so who the hell is playing them? As for the stuff I named, I wouldn't say I dislike that stuff, well I do hate the Disney kids oriented games and the ones based around famous names, those all suck, and I remember another game whose day has come and gone, Begone Dance Dance Revolution, I cast thee out, with bell, book, and candle I call out unto the Lord to cast you from my sight and into the deepest pits of hell. I really hate that game, I'm white, I can't dance, it's as simple as that, well I can dance supposedly when I'm drunk, at least that's what I'm told and what the pictures have shown me, but ur not allowed to go the arcade w/ a bottle of rum just so you can play DDR.

[analogZero]

Resident evil, I may enjoy them, but I am getting tired of those.

gotta agree, by the third one I was tired. I don't think I even finished it. Grand turismo should be buried, along with tony hawk. I like the skateboarding games, but it's turning into the same thing. it's like buying the same game for a few new levels. It wears out too fast. plus it's ridiculously unrealistic now.

yep it will still suck. It's on the PS3

And Corwin I actually rule at DDR.

[soulten]

the Dragon ball z fighting games, its just the same game with more people and different controls.

[quietchat]

yep it will still suck. It's on the PS3

And Corwin I actually rule at DDR.

Actually, it's 360 too.

I've only ever played on the controller. I don't have the endurance (Or the 2 year grace period for my lungs since my mother quit smoking) to play anything hard, and I tend to get my feet mixed up and lose balance. I always play with the controller though and I usually only do the hardest songs... and usually get at least a high B.

[Dark Zeik]

Pokemon hands down...

[quietchat]

Agreed. Pokemon was good for the first few games, but then it got to be too much. How many are there right now anyway? 500? Plus the show just keeps getting more sucky. Bring back the original journey!

[Koopaking]

No you are absolutely wrong, there are exactly 493 Pokemon.

[quietchat]

Meh, I was only 7 off. All I know is that's waaaaay too many, especially when you can only find about 150-200 a game. Hell, with the new spore creature creator demo out they could just mix and match new pokemon without trying and just draw it.

[Koopaking]

Actually you can get ALL 493 in Diamond and Pearl. I have like over 250 so far.

[quietchat]

Wait a sec, you can actually find every pokemon in the game?

[Koopaking]

You can find most of them. There's ways to get all of them. You'll have to do some traveling though. To Kanto, Orre, and Hoenn.

[Ryuuzaki]

Actually you can get ALL 493 in Diamond and Pearl. I have like over 250 so far.
I think last time I checked (over 4 months ago) I had almost 400 it not 400 (I played way too much).

[quietchat]

Next, you play pokemon Koops?! O_0

[Koopaking]

I haven't for a few months.

[quietchat]

Oh. Well, back to the discussion. Let's see.... Harvest Moon anyone? The one on SNES was the best one anyway.

[Koopaking]

Harvest Moon why should they stop that I love Harvest Moon, and you are wrong wrong wrong the one on the Nintendo 64 was the best Harvest Moon.

[quietchat]

Except for the one on Gamecube I haven't gotten a good long chance to play a Harvest Moon game. Wasn't there another game by that company, River King or somthing like that...

[RzXzB]

I have to say sonic and Grand Theft Auto because GTA keeps doing the same cities over and over give me a break I mean it's just three cities and they have all been explored already so give us something new already.

[quietchat]

You're kinda wrong about GTA. I don't think there was a name for the 1st or 2nd, but the third was Vice City (I think it's in Florida) San Andreas (California) Liberty City (New York) and I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting a game.

Point is there aren't enough games or that many cities that you could actually get tired of.

[Mugen]

Actually, Good bye Bioshock! 2 more planned. Uhm, Goody bye Final Fantasy. (Joke!).

[Ryuuzaki]

Goody bye Final Fantasy. (Joke!).
Ugh...I bet they'll never stop making FF games -_-''

[strike7785]

I'm gonna piss everyone off and say Halo.

look here damn it dont get mad becasue nobody wants to play with you on your games. WE ALL LOVE HALO Well most of us anyways

[Mugen]

Ugh...I bet they'll never stop making FF games -_-''

Yeah. They have milked that series to death and beyond. :/

[quietchat]

Mugen, Bioshock was the #1 game of 2007 in North America and possible Europe. It's won countless awards and is cited as one of the best games to ever be made. Why shouldn't they make another?

[seraphim20]

Mugen, Bioshock was the #1 game of 2007 in North America and possible Europe. It's won countless awards and is cited as one of the best games to ever be made. Why shouldn't they make another?

Yeah, I kind of agree with you. When I heard there was a possibility of a prequel for Bioshock, I was kind of excited. It would add a little more to the game's background and such.

[Rincewind]

Games that need to be revived / put on the shelf , etc :

Megaman, resident evil , dynasty warriors,Lord of the rings, and a few games i cant remember the name on atm, d*** :dead:

[blaariffic]

Halo I agree with (Though they aren't planninga Halo 4. The next thing is an RTS)

Dynasty Warriors I agree with.

Mario, not so much. Every game re-invents itself from the previous one in some way.

Sunshine I actually liked, and it was pretty different. But then you get to Mario Galaxies, and almost every world is different.
Halo 1 was good IMO....2 was thrown together and left me going "What?..well...that was lame..." at the end...
3 I want to play however....But the RTS seems like over kill to me...
Mario was good but is starting to become nintendos company monkey..being pulled into every which area they cant be bothered to think a of new character....
I like Mario games....but I dont like what nintendo seems to be doing to Mario as a character add on everywhere

@_@ Corwin know's what he don't like. You forgot movie based games, there's only been like 10 good ones since the industry started. (One of them Scarface on last gen consoles, and the Wii)
Movie games...seem like such a good idea until they make them

Im going to dismiss many games that start hitting double digits being a little excessive....Though FF still has me curious....And prolly wont stop until that generation all dies...

Im going to be a hypocrite here and say UT....at 3 now...not certain if their are more plans
Honestly I may only get it for the online play, graphics ,the newer vehicles...and lets not forget the user made mods
I still play Ut04 but mostly because of the mods and a nice sever I found...

[Mugen]

^^ Chronicles of Riddick was a good Movie-to-game.

[quietchat]

Wrong! Chronicals of Riddick was a game based on the events before the movie, which aren't covered very much. So, the game isn't movie to videogame. This accounts to Scarface as well, which works with an alternate storyline where he wasn't killed at the end.

Ohhhh, sorrryy. So, that game would be present if the movie hadn't been made?

[quietchat]

According to IGN.com: Videogame release date- June 1st, 2004.

Pitch Black in Theaters (Dvd?): Feb. 12th, 2000

The Chronicals of Riddick, in theaters: June 11th, 2004

Anime, Dark Fury: June 14th, 2004

I haven't seen Dark fury yet. Pitch Black has little to do with the three items that released in 2004, even lacking the name "Riddick" in the title, and not showing anything at the end that would hint towards the next movie. The other three projects were designed separatly from each other, except for several mentions to Butcher Bay in the movie, and a brief scene of Riddick on a planet of ice at the end of the game, matching what is seen in the movie. Pretty much, the game was hardly based on the movies at all. Not only that, but I don't think Riddick actually kills any humans in the first movie, nor does he use much stealth after the ship crashes.

[banshe12]

i think final fantasy needs to be killed off lets face it its lost it charm and never realy followed a story line and stayed with it ever granted i have and enjoyed ffx11 the last one theres so many cant keep count they should take it and put the old guard to rest and start a new RPG that keeps to a story

[quietchat]

That's kinda the thing though, each one tends to be a brand new experiment in playing. Not so much for 3-6, but with the first you chose a character and played. The second had actual characters and you never really leveled, instead you gained stats. The 7th made magic somthing that had to be equipped and brought out a major advancment in storylines. This is just to start though.

[Corwin]

I have to agree w/ quiet, the Final Fantasy games were never really intended to be direct sequels to each other, that's why it was such a big deal when they made FFX-2, b/c it was the first sequel to another FF game, granted since then it has started a trend b/c of the popularity of FFVII and now it has what Advent Children and like 2 or 3 games that while not necessarily direct sequels to the game, they are associated w/ it which is a new development, and of course there is FFXIII coming out, which rather than having sequels has multiple games that are part of the some overall storyline but from different perspectives w/ different story progression so that they are unique

[Sadrith]

the ff games are basicly the same genral charecters types slightly different
so thats why i say they should give that series a rest.

[partyprobe]

That is not true the characters and story change each time like look at the last one made. The people in the game were a lot different and they looked a lot different. The story was different in many ways also they had a couple new twist that the other games did not have.

[Shigami]

...The sims anyone?
EA releases one 'The sims' each year,if not 1/2 of a year.It was fun in the beggining but this "Ooooh guess what! 193 new items each game" is pretty annoying me.Another game would be need for speed,the first ones were pretty good but the next just became boring,wondering in a city is not that exciting if you cant get out of the car tbh..
Also definetly in my list goes Cod.I mean it started as a game based on WWii *Classic*,and then it just randomly jumped into the future,in our age..

[quietchat]

I agree. It was interesting at first, but then it just get to be soooooo damn many, and it all bogs down the gameplay if you take the time to load in every expansion.

[Sadrith]

actually the next CoD is set around the pacific based battles of World war 2

[sparkrose]

dynasty warriors i agree with the sims i think all the other sims games just add better graphics and new stuff they should just have made a sims 1 and have dls online or something there mistake they should kill it. madden should die too there no fun anymore. i love FF though i wish they would make the battle system more like kingdom hearts though it pisses me off having to wait a minute for an attack that only inflicts like 36 damage
halo gotten taken over by more jocky people now though im glad ther gonna make it a RTS
if i want to shoot people then ill go paintballing

[illuma]

Any game that has more than 3 continuations should just be stopped i mean really. You had three good times for each game and then you should just make another one related, but totally different.

[quietchat]

....... What are you talking about?

[kenshin]

Since I've made a thread about games that need sequels, now comes when a game has been beaten to near death to pump out another game, for example our good friend Megaman, who now trudges with two other character in games that feel sluggish, play in 3-d and just cause a headache, curtesy of the X series.

how???:dizzy:

[kenshin]

....... What are you talking about?

there are some good games that still should be sequals like the metal gears there all good exept acid:oo:

[quietchat]

I already have a (Give us a sequal) thread, check it out.

[kenshin]

WOW! :o.o: by now i would have thought someone would have said
dragon ball z because there have been too many dbz probalbly like14 games

[kenshin]

I already have a (Give us a sequal) thread, check it out.

alright thanks :ramen:

[kenshin]

there is dragon ball z

[quietchat]

Actual title, series and opinion about it please.

[Mugen]

there is dragon ball zDon't give it up, they've just got it right! DBZ: Burst Limit is awesome. But, I know what you mean.
All the DBZ games on Gameboy and PS2. Probably other consoles aswell.

[kenshin]

that is true the only crappy thing about burst limit is there are only 20 characters so i have a feeling that there are going to at least be 3 more but it is a good game

[quietchat]

I'm really not sure with DBZ games. Last one had 100 characters, new one on 360 is going to drop how many characters? Seriously, I want an adventure title like on the GBA with the Legacy Of Goku games, instead of another fighting game.

[Silverleon]

I'm gonna go ahead and say Zelda, i mean so far all of the Zelda games have been good, but i bet they're 1 or 2 games away from falling, so they should get out while they still can.

[quietchat]

Nu uh, no. Zelda forever!

[quietchat]

Not so much a game as it's own Genre, the World War 2 shooter.

[alsharid]

Zelda should continue, although I hated every game after Majora's Mask

[quietchat]

That makes you an enemy to the Zelda-hood!

Windwaker was great, Twilight Princess was great, Minish Cap, all of them were good games.

[Klard]

I want them to stop making World War 2 games. If they did that I'd have little to complain about, except movie games;those suck.

[alsharid]

That makes you an enemy to the Zelda-hood!

Windwaker was great, Twilight Princess was great, Minish Cap, all of them were good games.

I only tried Windwaker for a minute so I can't say I hate it, but I own TP, I didn't try Minish Camp or the 4 sword adventures, I tried Phantom Hourglass for a minute.

Quitechat did you find Twillight Princess to be harder than the other games?

[quietchat]

Not really, I trained with Wii Sports before I played Twilight Princess.

[Klard]

Not really, I trained with Wii Sports before I played Twilight Princess.

I required no training to beat that game, I just dove right in and kicked ass.

[Rincewind]

I want them to stop making World War 2 games. If they did that I'd have little to complain about, except movie games;those suck.

Yes , there is probably a thousand ww2 games out there, same old thing all over again in every one of them, Give us something else !!
Cod 4 was good, had absolutely nothing with ww2 to do , exept for the colt1911 :O

[alsharid]

Not really, I trained with Wii Sports before I played Twilight Princess.

Did you finish the game?

[quietchat]

I've never had enough time to, I always end up needing to focus more with school, then I'll start from scratch

[monsoon 10]

Crash bandicoot games.

[shadowmaks]

I find it annoying how they make vid-games based off movies. Some of them don't even make sense, like the movie ratatou ( the one with the cooking rat). How did that turn into a game? Also, most of these come out not two days after the movie somes out if not before.

[dablob]

Remember those games with the purple dragon Spyro or somethin.:dance:

[Elegroth]

Yeah, I beat the first and second, the original two. They were my favorite games as a kid, well little kid.

[quietchat]

I liked the first three, after that it was suck (Mainly because Innsomniac was kicked off the project)

[partyprobe]

I liked the first one but all the others were not needed.

[leerock89]

They need to stop with the Megaman games.

[Elegroth]

They need to stop with the Megaman games.

Once they make Megaman Legends 3 they should stop. I really like it, but they have over 40 different Megaman Games and they just need to take a break.

[sousuke]

megaman X games just kept getting gayer

[quietchat]

They just need to have a game where you play purely as the classic X style Zero. No energy meter, no added weapons, just pure hack slash kill, and to make it much more fast paced. I mean, even in the current X games, when you dash, it's like you're going the same speed, just slanted.

[sleeper101]

i dont know anyone said this or not what about zelda games?

[quietchat]

NEVER call out Zelda as being done to death....

[Elegroth]

Zelda doesn't need to die until 2020. Megaman needs to die in 2010. Mario will probably die around 2025.

[sleeper101]

hey i was just suggesting zelda but i agree megman needs to die

[Dark Turbo]

the Dragon ball z fighting games, its just the same game with more people and different controls.

Dragonball Z: BT3 would have been the best DBZ game if they kept Evolution Z and the story Structure like the 2nd one instead of cutting them off... that was a disappoint i had

the first one was good, the 2nd was even better but the 3rd one... was just a big letdown, sure more characters... but getting all of them is exetremely time consuming and not worth the effort like it was in the 2nd one

then you got burst limit which was just a gunshot in the foot for DBZ, only 21 playable characters and only up to cell saga? i mean, who wanted a remake of budokai 1...

my opinion with the dragonball z games, Just make one Really Good Game involving the size of the cast like BT3, with a story Structure and character customization like BT2, and just remake the game every generation so that the series isnt forgotten and yet the games would still be worth getting...

thats my take on the DBZ Games...

[Elegroth]

I would like Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4 to be like the second, but with all the bug fixes in the third, but with your own Custom Made Characters like they said they were going to try to do for the forth at this one site.
