Name the franchise
Name the franchise
literally everything
It's
Every single franchise in the world. There is not one single exception
It's
All of them..... except Silent Hill.
zelda sadly. Echoes of Wisdom was a step in the right direction
All of them. Franchises survive on brand recognition, not on quality. Either they do the bare minimum to fall within the "next gen" graphics or they reinvent the game so much that it no longer resembles what people fell in love with.
MonHun
Mass Effect and Dragon Age
Captcha: 200XP
TotK also was infintely better than BotW. If they had just skipped BotW and released TotK instead, far less people would have complained.
Crash Bandicoot and Guilty Gear
Halo
Oddworld.
literally one of the most fun multiplayer games on the market because it's not a sweaty tryhard esport-a-thon that keeps you hostage
last balance update was almost 8 years ago and it was almost entirely just nerfs, including to sidegrades that weren't even that useful
prior major update before that replaced the main server browser with matchmaking, removed team switching and spectator mode, added pointless exp mechanic
harassed by waves of bots for several years until they finally decided to game-ban the bots manually instead of waiting for VAC
only few employees still working on TF2 would rather give the community the tools to make stuff because the rest of Valve seemingly abandoned the franchise in favor of hardware development and other cash cows like Dota 2
majority of Steam's reported players are literal idle bots
Pokemon
/thread
It would be easier to name the franchises that are still going strong. So many have been meddled to the point they’ve become shells of themselves.
Total war.
Every Capcom IP.
Zelda.
Dragon age is dead and mass effect is the next to die. And by dead I don't mean it had a bad game I mean the last game actually killed the franchise and they plan to do the same to mass effect
This
Warcraft
Everything
I stopped consuming modern media completely. Games, movies, anime, literature, western or japanese, I ignore it all
Sonic. For me it ended with 3S&K. Fuck Adventure and everything beyond
it is modern state
The only franchises I can think over that DOESN'T follow the meme is probably Resident Evil, Digimon, and Persona
I know Anon Babble hates anything new and also tends to be quite contrarian, but honestly I feel like the aforementioned are the only franchises in a good place and their releases have been great and not too off from the originals/olders
SpongeBob
Crash Bandicoot
RE, Persona
not too off from the originals
lol, lmao even
xivtroon post
All of them.
Monster Hunter, specifically Wilds.
I thought World was rough, Rise a little less so, then Wilds just cranked the things I don't like up to 11.
Toukiden 2 is objectively better than Toukiden 1.
Nioh 2 > Nioh 1
It is modern state
story wise yes but crafting should not be part of zelda.
Resident Evil is an action series now. Not a survival horror with limited ammo. With Persona, yeah I agree. P5 Royal is good. No one actually likes the older Persona games. We will see with what they do with Persona 6. I've been skeptical, but maybe it has a small chance of being good
Learn what a franchise is, retard.
You retards are just going to say all of them so what's the point of this
Monster Hunter
Pokemon
Final Fantasy
Zelda
Sonic
zelda, pokemon, animal crossing
the holy trinity of franchises ruined by normalfags
/thread
the literal definition of op's question. Call of duty as well, fucking fortnite slop now.
imagine the crust busting
every game series i ever cared about
I'm with you, they can cut the crafting for all I care. It already annoyed me in it's infancy in SS.
last balance update was almost 8 years ago and it was almost entirely just nerfs
compfags ruined the game. god I hate them with a passion.
Rollercoaster tycoon.
Viewtiful Joe is dead and buried minus fighting game cameos. He won. The soul burns bright in the background.
pokemon and zelda
I hate zoomers so much it's unreal
All of them. Games shouldn't become franchises. The more sequels, the worse it gets.
baby's first fps is still baby's first fps
wow
Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Baldur's Gate, Diablo, Halo, probably every other franchise from 30 years ago
Unironically everything
Autists need to band up and reclaim what was once ours
this bigly
thry are the same game for all intensive purposes.
Anon Babble
FPBP
Name the
Fucking....all of them? No, seriously, ALL of my favorite franchises are in shambles.
Final Fantasy
Latest entry was a character action game with a story that fizzles out halfway through. Also MMO-tier sidequests.
Monster Hunter
Latest entry was casualized to the MAX
Devil May Cry
Latest entry is a jeet-directed netflix show that completely misses the point of the entire franchise and is merely a vehicle for the jeet to inject his shit taste
Civilization
Last two entries have been complete slop, especially VII.
This is what happens when you ask for endless sequels. You should have just let the series die gracefully.
i am losing my mind that lost planet 1 and 2 still have GFWL on pc.
OP said MODERN STATE you illiterate faggot
The new sonic writer kinda fucked up by not cutting anything out or just picking up after shadow the hedgehog. The sonic adventure era had a cool coherent vibe to it with chaos and shadow giving it some foundation.
thry are the same game for all intensive purposes.
True. But TotK has at least a samblence of real dungeons, and your exploration is actually being rewarded with upgrades or armor pieces, instead of just weapons that break in 5 hits or literal pieces of shit. Of course that stuff is still there, but it's not the ONLY thing you get out of exploring. If they had just made Totk from the start instead of BotW, I think a lot of classic Zelda fans hadn't been as skeptical about it. BotW now pretty much feels like a tech demo for TotK.
life is suffering, embrace replaying old games
Pokemon is the opposite, it held up for years dispite being for normies then it just gave up and made itself worse for no reason
No, more people would complain because TOTK largely relies on BOTW worship. It would be heavily criticized for being some weird playground full of gimmick shit but no purpose (even more so than BOTW)
sky and underground are both empty and with little actual exploration
the vehicle building is just a limited version of the typical lego vehicle building game people already got used to
nintendo realized they don't know how to make anything that will actually challenge or fight you when you're using a vehicle, so they just made them self destruct
crafting bullshit
but everything you craft explodes
and nothing challenges you enough to craft a weapon
koroks are worse than in botw
Etc etc etc
what normies? normies hated pokemon because it was too childish and only jumped back in when the franchise went 3d and then shat out go
The current writer is why fans shouldn't write the story. All he does is call back to old moments he liked and fill any and all "gaps" with his own headcannon.
He cannot write an original story, only recycle that which actual artists did in the past.
I would say Final Fantasy but it's starting to heal after the mess that was the 13 trilogy and 15
Everything new is shit.
Everyrhing I liked, quite literally everything, has either died or been ruined with sequels that failed to understand what made the originals great.
Feel free to contradict me with an example. I don't even play video games anymore, despite wanting. I feel like I'm a straight single guy forced to live in an african country (the woman are black)
Kind of checked out of the concept of following a franchise back in 2016-2018, and not just games but also anime, manga, films and tv series. I was already plenty of disappointed in a lot of franchises back then. Nowadays I don't even care if it's part or a franchise or not. If it looks interesting from the trailer or gameplay preview I probably will give it a try.
No xivtroon can hate Wow as much as someone who played Wow in the 2000s
Zelda
Anyone else get this feeling when playing a modern game where after playing for about 2 hours you can literally see the entire gameplay loop from there the game is unplayably boring
Shit is so formulaic surrounded by slop stories
I have a soft spot for SA1 since it's full of sovl and still kinda sorta "felt" like a Classic Sonic game, but beyond that I'd be fine with the rest of the Modern Sonic library being deleted from the timeline. Literally not one single legitimately good thing came out of it, objectively speaking. Only coombait goonslop and a handful of "decent" games. And it spawned the most obnoxious fans, Adventurefags.
Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed can stay, though. That game is tight as fuck.
Literally every game
Rent free
Many times I've played a demo and will have felt that I've already experienced the entire game just from that.
Yeah, i hate it.
I remember games used to introduce whole new mechanics incrementally. Like you'll be almost done with the game and then they throw a whole new thing at you.
Now it seems everyone busts their loads withing the first hour of gameplay.
let's be real. there are plenty franchises in good places
mostly because they aren't touched a lot upon in modern times
but if you pretend that most franchises are on the same level as halo these days, you're just stupid
every single major western franchise
Take your pick of Sega IP.
Paper mario
kek pretending that the new personas and yakuza games aren't good just because they are popular
RE has stopped being a survival horror at RE4, RE7 and 8 have been more into horror and the remakes have been generally well received.
As for Persona, yeah, I don't know what is on about
yep
god i fucking hate 343 so much
hey man, english's are hard okay?
Monster hunter
Tribes
fuck hirez
Would say Saints Row even though the franchise is either in a limbo state or dead just like Volition. But I've been feeling this way since 2011. Fuck Deep Silver and fuck anyone who was involved in Saints Row 3 and after.
make game developers unemployed again
All of them, lol
I'll name one that sting just because it's you, OP
Tomb Raider
Came here to say this.
As someone who wrote off Nuts & Bolts back in 2008, fuck off. Same shit, 15 years later.
ME died (dragon) ages ago
Thief. As controvertial as Thief 3 turned out to be, no one really asked for Thi4f. The game was memed to death even before it's release. Then the entire game turned out to be nothing more than a wet fart.
Halo has always been shit you underage zoomers
all of bungie's halo games are good
You are an underage zoomer and your casual opinion is worthless
Eh, it was okay for casual multiplayer shenanigans. It's fun in a similar way that Goldeneye MP was fun. Also, Halo is almost 25 years old now. Not really an underage thing anymore, by year's end people younger than Halo 3 will be able to post here.
normies hated pokemon because it was too childish
Maybe in your shitty country
Eh
Nobody says Eh before a sentence. Stop typing like you're some fucking cartoon character.
street fighter
monster hunter
zelda
pokemon
anything blizzard
It's been nearly a quarter of a century. It came out when you were still a gleam in the eye of several prospective fathers. You can stop pretending to hate it to fit in now.
Resident Evil
Easy
Zelda and Final Fantasy
Eh, maybe you're right.
Eh.
overwatch 2 was a mistake
safe response slop
Tetris, Lemmings, Europa Universalis, Sims, Tropico.
It's genuinely more difficult to think of a game where this doesn't apply.
Literally every decent franchise has fallen to prey to shitty anti-player business practices that are not necessary at all.
starwars
even if you didnt like the movies a lot of the games were cool. star wars republic commando is just a good game i would suggest to a lot of people who like scifi and tactical fps games. 2000s were good times, even the random spin off titles for a lot of franchises were AAA quality.
>Final Fantasy
Latest entry was a character action game with a story that fizzles out halfway through. Also MMO-tier sidequests.
incredible fucking shittaste. of all things to complain about the game it is absolutely not the gameplay. FF is an actual bonafide videogame for once. pressing buttons shouldn't be your biggest concern.
and also the story fizzles out HALFWAY through? the whole concept of "muh game of thrones" fucking sucks. it actually becomes japanese and JRPG-like towards the end with the introduction of Barnabas and Ultima. the story was shit from the very beginning with insufferably elaborate dialogs and characters that are all GoT rip-offs.
Games that have no modern installment or are just phone ports
Tetris on phones is good
What a retarded post.
Nintendo. Anything western.
FPBP
Dragon age
Ys
To a lesser extent trails
Pokemon
Final fantasy
Zelda
Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and anything associated to the word battlepass.
Echoes of Wisdom was a step in the right direction
fuck no
I hated the shit out of TOTK but at least I managed to finish that game unlike echoes
Ys
I fucking felt that.
Ignores Tropico 6
Ignores sims newest expansion pack
Ignores Tetris Forever
I think you are the super retard.
I was going to say MH but I realised it's just every capcom IP.
persona is a sega ip?
F.E.A.R is allready dead, i dont need to see it get rebooted for "modern audiences"
Seethe harder contrarians
Go back kiddo lmao
Oh boy, I sure love Ascension and The Short Message !
Silent Hill has been some kind of straight fucked since 2004 so I don't know what that anon's on. Series is cursed to be owned by Konami.
Pso2 by Sega
all of them.
There is no franchises that goes on forever that doesn't decay. Companies just refuse to move on and do new things so they keep their old series alive in a zombified state. And they have to change things because if they don't there's no point in new games. You also alienate part of your fanbase by warping what made it good before into something completely different.
*is the exception*
