Long running "milked" franchises you're a sucker for

Resident evil and kinda assassin's creed, though currently I only buy the new ones at half price

Assassin's Creed. Unity was a huge disappointment, but I know I'll eventually get Rogue as well.

EDIT: Oh, hey. 4 days ago was 10 years here, but I never even realized until now.

Probably Tomb Raider and Hitman.

Most of these "long running" serious you guys mention haven't even been around longer for more than one or two gens.

Neither of which are "milked" per se.

I'm still a sucker for Halo and I also think people use this term lightly, especially in this discussion. I'm a sucker for Halo because I will likely buy Xbox One for Halo 5, alone.

I classify "milking" as getting worse with each game. The new Tomb Raider reboot is an exception tho. God i love that game.

I guess it depends on the game. Games like CoD and AC are milked for sure. Yearly releases and they are getting worse with each game.

Assassin's Creed for sure and back in the day the TH series. Bought each one and loved them, I actually wish they were still milked and annually released lol

@nintendoboy16:

Mario, pokemon, donkey kong, smash, kart, starfox.

Cod, battlefield, halo, uncharted, crash if they still made it. Fifa!

Total War. Although I'm reluctant to proclaim it "milked". In comparison to other series it changes and adds quite a few mechanics while keeping the core gameplay fundamentally the same.

Unity is fine on PC, for me anyway. Even without the post release patches I had very few problems and it's a gorgeous game.

Story is a bit stale though, part of the draw to AC originally was the Desmond Miles modern day side of the story. Without that there's not a lot left to link them together.

Pokemon and Forza.

Ultimate Ninja quickly became the popular franchise, meaning that Clash of Ninjas almost from the start took a backseat. Obviously it was because the GC install base was way smaller to the PS2.

And it is competition because one was exclusive to Gamecube and the other was exclusive to PS2.

Just like the first Storm game stayed exclusive on the PS3 because there was a Naruto exclusive game on the XBOX 360 by Ubisoft. Once Ubisoft stopped making those 360 Naruto game, the Storm series had no competition and therefore they no longer needed to be exclusive and began to also release on PS360PC. But if Ubisoft would had kept making those 360 games, then there would of been competition between the Naruto 360 exclusive franchise and the PS3 Storm exclusive series.

I love me some milk every day all day.

Battlefield, and anything with Tom Clancy in front of it.
