Indeed Magaman just died when it became 3D same with sonic, can't say much about halo I fell asleep playing the first one every time I tried.

I liked the first Halo. Halo 2 was a meh situation and Halo 3 just downright disappointed me.

I don't think franchises should die...I think they should just get better. I would love to play a new sonic game that is fun.

Oh Guitar Hero is played out, and Super hero games usually suck pretty bad so they need to cut back on those as well.

To me no gaming franchises need to end because there are people that actually enjoy them. If a game gets made that I don't want, I just ignore it. I'm not sure why these games bother you guys so much but whatever to each his own I suppose.

I guess by majority we should be asking what games need to have there developers rewrite or even take a different look at what is being over played or has already been done to death. The truth in the matter here though is we are all just talking about it an no one including me will ever really do much about these games and there issues, all in all its fun to see that some people agree on what needs to change.

No way, i think you're both wrong, halo is frankly the best multiplayer franchise in the world in my opinion. Whilst I agree the campain is meh, whatever, kill some stuff, story = pretty crap and while the cutscences are actually exciting (e.g. happy to finish that, lets see what we do next), but it just did'nt have the power of a good book, that you don't want to put down. And I think people say its going down hill is cow dung! Go play halo 1, then halo 2, then halo 3 (then odst, but have'nt played it yet), you notice the gameplay and graphics and story all get better, come on bungie staff are not god's. I think the only series I got sick of was star wars for Ps2, but Shrek was boring and the super hero ones always sucked.... but I have'nt played a huge amount of games.

How the hell did it go downhill? I can understand not liking the 2nd and 3rd as much, but it's not like they sucked terribly.

Well then your crazy, there are'nt many good games, and you want the good ones to stop? WE can play on Warrhammer batlle march 2? Or Marvel Alliance 3. Or super sonic tenis 5? No thanks, everyone is too hate hate about games, I'm happy to play anything, pinball, mario, halo, Cod, fallout, oblivion, too me its all great fun (exceptions of the above e.g. Marvel Alliance 3, lol). And I love playing on anything, cause it helps if the games are full of potential, but how do you know in 100 years time, we won't have armour suits that we wear to function as a controller. What would the peoples reaction be to halo 3 if it came out (the first to come out, would be called halo ....) in 1987? People would give it 1000/10. i think we are thinking to omuch of games, they are only fun, not meant to be taken seriously as to the extent that we are living in them!

There are'nt, its just everyones expectation are exceeding reality. Come on fable two is obviously better than the way older one. And halo 3's mathcmaking and forge suprised me greatly, to think I could make my own spaceship to play varaints in. I LOVE forge. *sigh*. Plus everything got better, what did you excpect, come on tell me everything that should have been improved...

I would argue the game play and story in the Halo series and Fable series is declining with the sequels.

If they made a Sonic game as good as the Dreamcast one, it would revive the series. I would LOVE a good Sonic game, but I'm not going to pay for it unless it's well-made.

And it's not XBox related, but the various versions of Pokemon need to do something different for once.

Your kidding? Ok, does'nt everyone know halo 1 and 2 had glitches and really, the weapons in halo 1 looked plastic. Look, I know the story actually did kinda get more boring, the first had the best story. But Gameplay? I would love to hear your arguements, cause frankly, i found halo 1 and 2's multiplayer lame. Halo 3 completely skyrocketed in that area. Halo campaign is meh, ok, fun when you go points with friends on co-op, its definitley better than number one and two's gameplay. But multiplayer matchmaking and forge are an excellent addition to the series. I really don't understand why everyone hates halo, is it because there are hundreds of pros that kill you in seconds? I reckon everyone is backing out of matchmaking after a couple of games, I though it was boring at the beginning, but it is a favourable experience when you play at higher standards with players of higer standards. I found Cod and those war games boring, snoring multiplayers. the environments are boring, wheras halo's maps are interesting and colourful.

You can't just argue something without evidence. In what way is the halo 3 gameplay worse than the previous series? I'm not sure about fable, but 2 looks way better than one. And friends ensure me of this theory.

Guitar Hero/Rockband. I love those games but theres just too many. How many have been released in the last year? Probably around 7 (just a random number). I LOVED GHIII and Rockband then GHIV and Rockband 2 kinda lost me. Perhaps they dont need to die, but slow the heck down!

Yea, no is right. You have to be out of your mind to think that. Sorry, but the amount of stuff they added to the gameplay and the stories the put together make the first one look average.

Everyone is saying Guitar Hero. Yeah they are pretty lame, but they have brought people into gaming like nothing else besides maybe the Wii. Don't look for it to go away any day soon.

Thank god someone else has a realistic comment. Of course Halo 3 got better, people must have loved halo 1 so much that they expected the next to blow their minds away, of course not, bungie staff are'nt gods, but each series is better than the last, besides the length of course, but thats the result of adding a lot more detail. I hate halo one and two's graphics now I look back. But they were great, but really I think the series has got better, and fan's expactations higher, I'm no halo fan boy, I find it entertaining, but it has it's downsides. Forge was the winner, along with online matchmaking (better than halo 2s), no-one really aprecciates halo 3 enough, its great. And forge is frustrating, should 'clip' into place, not gin around trying to put object in place. But its great! Really, what is so bad about it? Everyone is crying about how it let them down and the story sucked. But really whats so bad about it? It's pure fun!

I don't think franchises should die...I think they should just get better. I would love to play a new sonic game that is fun.

a55a55inx
You have the same chances of that happening as Sega does to make a successful console... yeah it might as well just die. When a franchise gets so bad that the creators don't care then it should seriously just die. I mean there is no way they care considering the last good 3D sonic game was on the dreamcast.... how many have we had since? I will say Sonic, Mario (maybe just chop off his legs...... slow him down a bit), anything that ends in Hero, and anything published by SouthPeak Games... no seriously just look at their track record. Anything they give money to is awful.... the latest being Two Worlds and Section 8 (I know Section 8 was meh), but Two Worlds was awful and it is somehow getting a sequel......... WTF? They are the freaking Uwe Boll* of publishing actual video games * Uwe Boll is the man behind any bad video game movie you can think of. Ok maybe not all of them, but probably 90%.

The Halo series, Call of Duty series, and all the countless music games being released. None of those games bring anything new or original to videogames and should be put to death.

Guitar Hero, CoD, Halo and maybe Sonic, unless they get back into the old Sonic Adventure 2 type of gameplay.

Oh and dear god I just want Valve to die even though they're nothing to do with this.

Sonic, Mario, Zelda, all handheld games (I just don't like them), and Dynasty Warriors.
