The Koalition writes: "There are thousands of game developers in the world and even more games that have been developed, especially for this console generation alone. With so many ideas and talent, you'd think it would be fairly easy to come across new and successful IPs and franchises on a fairly consistent basis - but that simply is not the case.
Not only are several gaming franchises releasing on yearly schedule now (and I don't just mean sports games either) but many of them are uninspired and don't seem to offer anything new or innovative to the industry any longer."

Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."
They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.
Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid
I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.
Do you remember what gaming was like before Fortnite entered the gaming space? One of the biggest arguments was about loot boxes. Now we have conversations about crossovers, battle passes, and community outreach.
Idk. Loot boxes did disappear and battle passes and in game purchases are all cosmetic. We get free weapons and maps post launch, any gameplay affecting content. I could care less about all the cosmetics.
I absolutely hated the days where weapons were locked behind a less than 1% chance lootbox pull where it'd take 5+ hours to have enough tokens to do a single pull and lazy remastered/remake maps cost you $15 each wave or $50 for the season pass that you didn't know what you'd get and these maps were only available to those that bought it so you get a smaller pool of players match with.
Call of duty can simply not copy the bad aspects of Fortnite? Or is that too out of this world? Like COD, a realistic shooter-just HAD to have Nicki Minaj running around? Or super heroes?
I prefer the battle passes with free maps than the $50 season pass that divided the community. I definitely feel that Fortnite had some influence on CoD having loot boxes with Blackout being introduced in 2018 with Black Ops 4.
Actually Fortnite bullshit ruined Unreal Tournament. Epic are sellouts and I will never have that shitty store on my PC, fuck them and that shit bag Tim Sweeney. At least the community keeps the games alive, I still play UT2004.
The Black Ops Gulf War leaks continue with a list of weapon descriptions giving more info on what you can expect from new and returning weapons.
Why the hell is Sonic in that list? We need more of that hedgehog around town.
This is a good article about games.
OMG Call of Duty really? But that's all I play. I need my COD mate.
Other than that I agree with the list. Good stuff.
Very controversial list and especially so because of the last two choices. Nintendo fans about to go in on you lol
No franchise "needs to die." Many could use some innovation and refreshing ideas, some could even use a hiatus to get things primed for their next installment, but to say any franchise simply "needs to die" is ridiculous defeatism.
Think of your favorite franchise that you've played for years and have many fond memories of as a ship. If your ship starts taking on water, are you fine with letting it sink, or would you like to see renovations made and then set sail on another adventure?
