Games That Ruined Their Series

[gamemaster1991]

I don't think I really have a game that would have ruined a franchise for me, I tend to like all the games I buy.

I'm more of the same. There are a few exeptions to the rules, but I normaly see the light in most games. The ones I haven't are already listed all over the fourms.

Resident Evil 6: Just an overall worse version of RE5 (which I liked).

Version? I was so much different from RE5 that the only thing they had in common was Chris as a playable character.

It's as much a version of RE 5 as RE5 is a version of RE4, which I only see miner points in. RE6 just seems to an action game that wants to keep the franchise alive.
The part that I see RE5 in is bringing back familiar faces to get people to buy it. You could have changed the character's names and the title of the games and lose nothing. This is why we have Dino Crisis and not Resident Evil: Jurassic Park.

But turning the main character, Dante, from a pizza-eating badass into a vulgar druggie killed what truly made Dante.

The new Dante does eat pizza (it's found in his trailer within the first part of the game) and Dante hasn't taken drugs in DmC.

I haven't played the newest DmC and have absolutely no interest in Castlevania, it's pretty clear the latter of those two games only has a success when it repeats the boring jump and whip controls of the first game.

That's the problem there though. A lot of people haven't played DmC, Resident Evil, Castlevania, FFXIII and are willing to dismiss it based on what the herd say. Before giving it a try, it's always given a perceived negative reception and others follow suit whether they have played it or not. Fair enough I rag on games but that only because I've played them. I've still yet to play Diablo 3 and despite the already bad feedback I know of, I still have to play it for myself in order to form a valid level of criticism. Not just DmC, there's only so much you can tell people to actually play the game before judging but there's other games like Lollipop Chainsaw or Dragons Crown.

This is another one I don't get. Fans are complaining about a redesign and reboot of a game that....... plays the same? Ok, so the characters don't act like the originals, but people are complaining about things that don't happen because they haven't played it. If the game is bad, than it's bad, but If people are going to say "it's bad because I won't play it," than it's not bad (as far as you know). The only good reviews I've seen of the game (as far as I remember) are from people who ignore the characters redesigns or from people who never heard of the games before. Also these people say that it's still better than Devil May Cry 2 (what ever that means).

P.S. FF13 is still a bad game and I have played it. No game should get better 20 hours in. I should be good at the start.
