Yeah, theres been like 8 or 9 GH games this gen?

Actually the whole 'Hero' series is. Because of Band Hero and DJ Hero. And DJ Hero has some of the most overpriced DLC available.

It's one game per year, with each team working 2 years per game. I don't see the problem.

Maybe Guitar Hero and Sports games say hello. Is there going to be a need for speed this year? If so maybe that to.

Meh, I don't think we can categorize it as "milking" just yet. CoD2 and CoD4:MW2 are drastically different games. Milking has to be indicative of producing the same thing with minor changes, like Guitar Hero and Pokemon have done. So, IMO, no albeit Black Ops might prove to be greater leverage for that argument.

SgtKevali
most quality games take 3-4 years plus to make so... and each cod now is the same linear story with killstreaks and noobtastic online that takes no skill to be good at. it is hardcore milked, theres one every year. name another FPS game that releases a new one each year... yea exactly. and sports game dont fit in this argument cuz they need a new one each year. and as for pokemon like the dude with paper mario in his pic said, they release 2 games each scenario thingy so it doesnt really seem like oto many pokemon games if u only count that as one since they are both in the same area just different pokemon, but i think it comes right next to cod in being milked so much

its a shooter. i dont see how it could not be milked. run, shoot, die, thats all it is. the shooter concept has been around forever! the concept is never going to die. its always going to be around. Dont get mad at activision because they keep making shooters. people obviously love it, so why not make it? you cant make a statement like that and single out one title. guitar hero, rock band, pokemon, halo, can all receive honorable mention. on top of that, how about mario? im not even talking about just this gen either. mario has had a billion games and no one complains.

Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Lego, and Call of Duty games. I'll have to admit I still enjoy CoD games (though I've only played around 3 or 4), but it is getting a bit stale.

Dude Guitar Hero was so bad the Music games have gone down.:P

Seriously though.. Why not sell new ALBUMS of 15 songs per 3 MONTHS for GH3/GH4 // ROCK BAND 1. They simply did it to themselves..

How is Rock Band worse...?

2 Official games

And 3 spin-offs.

Plus RB3 which is coming this year and we probably won't see RB4 for a while.

if cod is considered milking then every single game that has a yearly release (fifa, pro evo, madden, various other sports titles, smackdown, ufc etc) are milking too.

i don;'t think having a game out each year is milking

  1. Rock Band

  4. The Beatles Rock Band
  5. Rock Band Unplugged (DS and PSP)
  6. Green Day Rock Band (coming this year)
  7. Rock Band 3 (coming this year)

Rock Band first released in 2007. That means 7 games will have been released within a 3 year span, not to mention countless expansions. If you think we won't see RB4 for awhile you're crazy.

I still say nothing beats Guitar Hero, Mario, Pokemon, Sonic and the Warriors series for milkage. Although to Koei's credit, their latest Warriors game has been given a totally different title this time.

CoD's pretty bad, too. I think we're looking at about 12-14 games since 2003, and only one of them wasn't this gen.

No. Guitar Hero takes that title.

I know I'm going to get bashed for this, but I like the Call of Duty series. I don't care if they release a title every year because I know that I will enjoy it.

once again why is everybody including spinoffs if there was a DMC party would you include that in the main series or just a scam to cash in some money for the company?
