What Franchises Went From "Day 1" To "Day Whenever"?

PSXE: You can't always be sure which franchises you'll always buy on day one. We want to know which you've had to re-prioritize this generation and why that is so.

Did Dragon Age II restrict you? Maybe GTA has changed too much. Perhaps you've been called to duty one too many times. Sound off in the comments and let's compare notes.

well the first 100 wonderful games were for lack of a better word Wonderful, and were a must buy day one for me. But I don't know, maybe the series has gotten stale or maybe it's that I don't intend on ever buying a WiiU, but I don't think I am gunna rush out and buy Wonderful 101

It took a few seconds for it to sink in but I got it.

Hmmm what series went from day 1 to day whenever.
-Definitely FF(as said below).
-Any franchise title by Bethesda. Bugs galore
-Any fighting games made or publish by Capcom.
-Halo. Given that I only care for SP. I rather catch it on sell or just rent it.

Dead Rising has gone from 'Day 1' to 'Day When I Decide To Buy An X1, If Ever'

Final Fantasy. SE have a LOT of work to do to convince me to come back

Any main series Mario games. Mario is getting tired, but I do like Super Mario 3D Land, but I don't love the games like earlier in the series.

Gran Turismo. I love racing games, but was disappointed by GT5. Need to see if there's more 'game' in GT6, but will probably wait until a PS4 version

Any Blizzard title. Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 have really knocked my faith in Blizz.

Halo. See 'Dead Rising' above, but also disappointed with Halo 3 SP.

Alot of games with pre-announced DLC for me go from Day-1 to Day-GOTY-Edition-releases.

It's amazing how Square Enix remains tone deaf to how many people have taken this stance on Final Fantasy.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

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.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

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."

LG_Fox_Brazil2d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai2d ago

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.

solideagle1d 14h ago

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

Abnor_Mal1d 14h ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa1d 13h ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal1d 10h ago

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.
