Gaming Franchises that Should Consider Retirement

Arcee "Have any of you out there just had so much of a gaming series that you have thought to yourselves that enough is enough? I certainly have, and a lot of times I find myself saying that over and over with recent announcements of new games for franchises that have definitely seen better days. Or franchises that have run their course and have gotten stale or are relying on the same gameplay to get them through. I have been finding myself thinking those thoughts a lot lately - especially with some pretty high profile gaming franchises. There is just so little variation or new content or ideas that these particular series just don’t quite do it for me anymore."

FF shouldn't be retired, just go back to its one universe = one story style.

Where X-2 might be considered forgivable and even logical because of FFX's story and conclusion, Dirge of Cerberus because of overall character popularity, this branching and expanding of the main story before the game with the "main" story has even been release just has to stop.

Neither Slant6 nor Zipper were able to return Socom: US Navy Seals to its PS2 glory this gen'. Even the return of series' founders Zipper was met with critical and commercial indifference. This despite their critical and commercial success with new IP MAG only a year earlier. Dishonorable discharge? Wouldn't surprise me, especially now that Zipper has momentum with MAG.

Yea I mean whether someone likes these games or not is irrelevant. If all of these games stopped coming out, the casual market will have almost disappeared completely, therefore much less munnies will be earned, and that is no good.

I agree completely with CoD and sonic. Its insulting because call of duty is basically the same game every year with different setting. As for sonic...... hey its sonic need I say more. Although im not a big Halo fan, they still have time before they milk it completely. Final fantasy , I used to love final fantasy but, square is turning into the activision of the east ( hence why they publish CoD in asia ). Resident evil and street fighter both are ip's owned by capcom; they are just a few steps behind square.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
