5 Franchises that need a rest

MMGN: It's the same deal every time - a new intellectual property is released, we fall in love with it, and companies think the best idea is to pump out a new title year after year, irrespective of quality. That's not to say that the games I'm about to mention are terrible - in fact, many of them have upheld a strong standard over the years - but it's hard to maintain excitement for an upcoming game when a new one is releasing by the time you've finished its predecessor.

I could live without the first four. But I just can't give up on Resident Evil, I love this series sooo much. Re 6 was extremely bad but I still enjoyed it (yes I know, that's a shame) because of Leon, Chris, Sherry and Oh god...Ada ! Actually, I can't wait for Capcom to annouche Re 7, even though I know they will most probably screw it up. I'm weird.

ape0074051d ago

i actually agree with u, RESI 6 was a fun yet strange game, some parts were very good and some were garbage but when u compare it to resi4, it pales in comparison

Rynocirator4051d ago

I feel the same way about 6, I liked it more than I probably should have. It's by far the worst game of the series, but I liked the story enough to keep going. As for re5, I felt like it was a possibly the best game in the series because of the accessibility...I could pick up and play with my friends using my weapons, using my upgrades, using my costumes, and doing the achievements was a blast...I hope re7 brings back what re4 and re5 did right and thats weapon upgrades, but if it doesnt allow for new game + like re5 I don't want it

Kane224051d ago

another game is god of war. as much as i love the series. its time for either kratos story to end entirely or they come up with something else for a change.

Areeb114050d ago

I can't explain to you just how disappointing it was to see Ascension receive such mediocre reception. God of War is NOT a 7-8/10 franchise. I know reviews shouldn't matter but God of War is the kind of larger than life franchise that should completely renders all reviewers speechless.

To the guys at Sony Santa Monica: It's back to the Drawing Board now for Kratos (or another hero) and I am so sure that the next game in this franchise, be it in 2 years or 4,5 etc. will be a colossal installment!

MikeMyers4051d ago (Edited 4051d ago )

A few I can quickly think of;

Call of Duty
Halo
God of War
Assassins Creed
Resident Evil
Need for Speed
Super Mario 2D games
Gears of War
Street Fighter

pr0t0typeknuckles4051d ago

that list pretty much sums it up,all you need to add to it is final fantasy, and its perfect.

MikeMyers4051d ago

Far from perfect with all my disagrees, lol.

maniacmayhem4051d ago

I don't agree with Street Fighter. It has had only one release with multiple updates that improved on the fighting. I would count that as added DLC.

But I do agree with:
CoD
Assassins Creed
Resident Evil

Without Final Fantasy this list has no credibility.

dark-kyon4051d ago

the final fantasy game only have the name in commun,every final fantasy is diferent to the others,what the last games were bad is no reason to finish.is sad what the gamers not recognize what the final fantasy ever have changes and never a games is the same,in comparisson elder scroll,mass effect are more the same but how sell good nobody cares.

Myze4051d ago

There is so much history for Squenix to draw on, that I still want to see them make a new FF (imagine a FF game that looks as good as the Luminous Engine demo with the gameplay of past FF glory). What they need to do is get away from the stupid sequels.

If you discount the spin-offs (which is what I consider the FFXIII sequels) and FFXIV (like I discount FFXI since they are so different from the series, like FF Tactics), they've really only made one bad (well, bad for a FF game) FF game.

I'm not ready to forget the series yet. Still wanna see FFvsXIII, and whatever they decide to reveal for next generation. Would love a new console version of FFT as well.

Kratoscar20084051d ago

I agree with the list, add Uncharted and Dragon Ball and Naruto games.

dafegamer4051d ago

you should add Halo as well

Kratoscar20084051d ago

Of course, add Tales series too.

fredrikpedersen4051d ago

Uncharted? I disagree w/ you there

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC2h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer4h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6023h ago(Edited 3h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya1h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde1h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
