Franchises You Wish Would Just Die

FF X did nothing for me when it comes to story and also the ending.

I still loved and enjoyed FFXII... it's just that the story (with no real focus on characters) and the ending were weak

.... the gameplay was superb though

Super Smash Brothers.
The series lost its touch when it came to introducing new worthwhile mechanics after Melee. The bouncing and random tripping (the latter of which I hated) were not what I would consider "good" or useful new additions to have, let alone necessary. If Brawl were to have a sequel by some chance, it would probably be even worse gameplay-wise, so I'm hoping now that it doesn't. I played Melee for years and years, whereas with Brawl, I could only tolerate the increased floatiness and laggy online (and trapping) for a few months at most.

I'd personally like to see the franchises we're sick of getting a different kind of treatment..

retro studios did an amazing job with metroid.. so I'm thinking of eastern developers handed their stuff to west and vice versa.. we might get some new and interesting ideas coming out

The Metroid Prime games are the worst games of the franchise. Screw Retro Studios.

And more people need to play the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games. The series took the franchise in an entirely different direction.

actually it was X ✅

Not really, 10 is crap. It's aged horribly, had the most panit-by-numbers love story of the series, and regardless of being the first to include VA, it's a prime example of how Square's english voice acting ranges from crap to mediocre in quality. The only PS2 FF worse than X is X-2.

I'm sorry, but have you played FFXII? It was a terrible FF game on the PS2.

FFX had a decent combat system, very good storyline and quality music.

Probably the best Final Fantasy game on the PS2.

Turn based combat had long since gotten stale by the time the PS2 came around. Whatever was good about the story (as in, everything that didn't revolve around the pitiful chemistry between Tidus and Yuna, which leaves us with about 30% of the story) went to sh*t with the terrible execution of it all, not counting, as I said, the terrible presentation of it all.

The same applies to X-2, only that much worse; turned what could've been a memorable milestone in the series into a charlie's angels wannabe that you can tell belonged in a scrapped story arc of an anime.

What I'd played of FFXII, I can tell they at least managed to break the maggot-infested mold that X only made worse.

Yeah. Screw Retro for making one of the successfully highest rated and reviewed games of all time that has made a legacy in the history of 1st person. 😬

Why end the franchise after one game? They should just learn from this game when they make another. The tripping, IMO, is the dumbest game mechanic I've ever seen and I hope that was just a big mistake.

😠 😠 😠

Metroid Prime never sparked my interest enough for me to keep with it for more than a week or so. I'm sure it's great for the people that can appreciate it, which is supposedley a good chunk anyway. Call me biased, but I just call the game proof that first-person ruins everything.

Here's hoping Other M is an ACTUAL action adventure.

😂

Indeed, hopefully Other M is going to have the same magic that the earlier games possessed.

I just want you guys to know that Brawl was intentionally changed to reduce all competitive value from the game. Tripping, the new physics, lack of hitstun, all of it is to destroy the competitive value of it.

Because that one game was probably the biggest disappointment of 2008 for many. Depending on the circumstances though, I guess I may not mind another sequel one day if they learn from the mistakes made with Brawl, such as the ghey tripping and what not.

🤨

Well, to each his own I guess.

Yeah, figured as much. That's mostly what killed it for me. If SSBB has a sequel someday that also tries to take away from the competitive value as much as possible, then I'd like nothing more than the franchise to just die (going back to the original thread topic).

And it'll be hard and we'll decaptitate ninjas.
