Top Ten Games That Almost Killed Their Series

VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "Most great and beloved video game franchises have gone through bad times over the years. For many of them these periods are merely momentary setbacks from which the franchise quickly recovers. After all, it's not like a game or two can unmake all the good that the series has accomplished in the past. Then again, sometimes a game will come along that ends up having such a huge negative impact on the entire series that it drags it down with it.

The following 10 games caused their series to fall dramatically in terms of critical reception, and often commercially as well, and forced the franchise into an oftentimes lengthy hiatus."

I know this might sound harsh but, well deserve Sega xP

greenmiker3273d ago

Haha! I hated Seag when I was young but I have to admit that I was disappointed when they announced Dreamcast as last console.

Anyway, a Loss by a company which produces video games is not good news.

SegaGamer3273d ago

I don't think anyone is suprised by this. SEGA's decision making is terrible, i'm amazed they are still going.

Transistor3273d ago

The combination of this comment, name and avatar is almost too much for me to handle. Lol.

SegaGamer3273d ago

I get that kind of reaction a lot. My relationship with SEGA is definitely a love hate one these days :P

I love their games but i hate their attitude and decision making.

Alien Colonial Marines hurt this brand in my opinion.

2.11M across 5 platforms isn't good. It deserved better.
