Screwattack's Top 10 Franchises that Should Die

[Baloo]

Is it just me or does ScrewAttack basically make all their Top Ten lists of things that are "Bad" or "Worst of?" or "Should never exist"? So much negativity!

Soooo... Sonic CD? Because people complained about the moving camera when you use the super peel out and spin dash way back in the day on usenet.

I said camera angles, but I guess Sonic CD would include those too in the bonus rounds. But sure, no Sonic after Sonic CD, that would leave Sega to focus on making more new games, and all of the 32X and Saturn detractors wouldn't have the "no legit Sonic game" gripe.

They did do best and worst gaming peripherals one time. And another time they did top 10 best Dreamcast Games. Beyond that though I don't know if they've done any other positive ones.

Surprisingly no Sega peripherals went into the worst peripheral list. If I remember correctly it consisted of a PS2 accessory called Ultimate Kick Boxing, R.O.B, the Power Glove, and 2 other obscure NES peripherals.

For best I all I remember them having was the DDR Pad, the Game Genie, and the Trance Vibrator as number 1.

So no Sonic 3 or Sonic & Knuckles. Got it.

^ Correct.

I had no idea they still made Dynasty Warriors games.

[The Jackal]

10. Angry Birds

Why are they picking on an Iphone app? They should of had Worms instead on the list; that's a series that has been dragged on far too long.

9. Dynasty Warriors

Not played it, but I've heard of how shallow the gameplay is.

8. Lego Series

Not played any since the first Lego Star Wars game, won't faze me if or not if they did finish the series off tbh.

7. Call of Duty

Recycled shooters with little updated and features removed from the previous game? Who cares; kill this series and two more will spring up to take it's place.

6. Dragonball Z

DBZ on the current generation of consoles is a joke; Raging Blast 1/2 and Ultimate Tenkaichi don't hold a candle to the Budokai games or even Super DBZ. The franchise could use a fresh new start.

5. Dance Dance Revolution

Same as COD; kill this off and you still have the numerous clones to take it's place.

4. Kingdom Hearts

I can think of worse RPGs that should be on this list more than Kingdom Hearts; a ton more.

3. Madden

EA only release one of these a year; the only sports series that should be killed off is soccer games, we get too many of them.

2. Final Fantasy

Same as KH.

1. Halo

Not played any, but the series hasn't had that many sequels compared to other shooters, so I disagree with them.

In all, they're idiots.

I'd like to see the Madden games go so that they quit flooding up the used video game shelves! lol

But seriously, why doesn't EA just go digital updates each year with that series? Does it really warrant a new physical copy each year? Sports games were made for digital distribution! Release a physical copy once every few years with a new engine, then the following 2-3 years just release new roasters with other misc updates.

[Assman]

So no Sonic 3 or Sonic & Knuckles. Got it.

Now there's a life that's not worth living.

[Gogogadget]

A world without S3&K is a shit one, and I totally don't blame them for sticking Angry Birds on that list, it'll be a fun day when mobile gamers get sick of Angry Birds and stop lining that arrogant dickheads pockets.

No, EA also releases NCAA every year, and it uses the same engine every time. And it pisses me off, because College Football is actually a lot different than the NFL. I don't want to play Madden with a college skin, I want to play real fucking NCAA football, where NCAA offenses will work. What they have between Madden and NCAA is some sort of weird hybrid engine where a true college offense won't work - like the diamond formation- but you can still basically setup in a spread offense and score 90 points with ease.

Madden, Halo, Call of Duty, Kingdom Hearts and the Lego series can all go away now. But so can Screwattack, for that matter.

Final Fantasy should either be shelved or get back to its roots of making real RPGs that were fun to play, and for that Square would have to bring back most of their visionary people who jumped ship a decade ago. I'll give DDR a pass because it involves both music and fitness, and those never go out of style. My only request: use better music from better bands.

OK, I didn't know there was a College version too. Still, Soccer games are more frequent (the EA versions, World Cup eidtions, Fa Cup editions, not counting the countless third-party releases), so if I had my way, they'd be killed off.

[Gogogadget]

Well, the Euro 2012 game that would be released is actually just DLC for Fifa 12 this year.

Why would any company want to stop selling a full priced game every year in favor of cheaper DLC? It's not like they need to do a great deal of work on the new games very often. Most of them are only marginally improved over the previous year with a changed up roster.
