MasonicGamer.com: As we reach the end of the current generation I find myself starting to reminiscence by what we’ve seen. I’m already wondering what my top ten games of the generation are going to be but there’s still life left in this generation so it’s a little too soon for that list. Instead I started to think about some of my favourite franchises and my current status with them, eventually this list came to mind.
What I’ll be doing is listing five franchises that I used to love but lost interest in as time went on for whatever reason.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Two games i initially loved this generation n eventually stopped caring about are Resistance and Infamous
There has been too much over saturation of franchises this gen. A-Creed was so great at first, I played both Creed 2 sequels, the 3rd came out... I just couldn't give a rats arse anymore. I was fatigued of playing the same thing over and over.
I just bought Dead Space 3 this weekend... first impression is, I'm bored of that as well.
For me it was the Halo, Super mario bros, Gears of War, Assassin Creed, Resident Evil, and COD franchise. It got to the point where i was like... "Again????".
I've never played Uncharted 1 so Uncharted 2 was new to me and 3 was what got me really hooked. I honestly have to say that the new Tomb Raiders was very refreshing. Thats what franchises should be, go on hiatus for a 2 or 3 years and come back with a big bang!
Can I put the Final Fantasy 13 series into its own Franchise? LOL
stopped caring about CoD, god of war, anything Nintendo makes, Resident Evil, dead space, mass effect
Quite clever of you to end on Bioshock, I would have stopped reading after reading that one.
