If you could end a franchise what one would you end?

I'll run you over if you were actually somehow able to do that. I don't understand why someone would want to end a series just because it's not their cup of tea. It's not like you gain anything from it. Are they going to magically become experts in another genre? I enjoy sims; just because you don't like them doesn't make them worthless.

Did you read the OP?

I would like nintendo to start a new franchise instead of rotating the same games.

Nintendo rotates the same franchises every year and all games have 10-30+ sequels/remakes/spin-offs/alternate versions/etc etc
+100 of them are mario games or atleast have mario in them

I'm even more fed up with Dynasty Warriors/Samurai Warriors franchise since it has +30 games. Koei keeps releasing the same game over and over again.

I may be in the minority here..but, Zelda. That series should end or get a major overhaul.

Yep.

"Any franchise

I'd like to end Call of Duty, they should quit while there ahead. Modern Warfare 2? cmon"

I'm not saying you broke any thread rules or anything; I'm just saying it's a stupid choice. Ending a series because you personally don't enjoy it is stupid. You gain nothing from it, and you're only hurting others. If they lacked quality, it'd be one thing. However, there are plenty of great sim racers. I don't go around shouting, "Alcohol should be banned because I don't drink!"

NOTE: I am assuming that the franchises get one more game to resolve matters.

1) Megaman. Not to knock Megaman -I love the series- but I want to see how it ends: a game that ends each of the storylines and ties them together into a cohesive whole.
2) Zelda. Again, not to knock Zelda, but I subscribe to the theory that as a series about a legend, it's told many versions of the same story. I want to see it end with the truth: the "historical" events (relative to the game's reality, of course) that sparked the legends.
3) Soul Calibur. Rather than strictly ending the series, begin it: go back to the origins of the weapons.
4) Imagine. End it with Imagine: Game Developer, where in the end you get fired for coming up with that blasted series.

@ 2), isnt the new zelda game rumoured to go into how the master sword was picked up?

@ 3), they did this with soul calibur legends. didnt work AT ALL.

Also I wouldn't end Call of Duty, but I would stop Treyarch from making them.

Oh and Guitar Hero - honestly what difference is there between the original GH and Guitar Hero 2/3/World Tour? Just the songs. Oh yeah and they copied Rock band with drums and singing.

zelda isnt that great? that means it deserves to die? we're flushing crap, here, not food still traveling through the upper intestine.

... because? I'm curious, I want to know the reasons why the coolestguyever(!!) thinks Zelda is not that great! =P

I'd probably end the Call of Duty franchise as well. It seems like Infinity Ward just don't want to innovate anymore. Snowmobiles and scuba diving is not what I call "hawt." They're using the same fricking engine again... how much you guys want to bet that the AI will be as dumb as ever and enemies will throw grenades two kilometers long (seriously, they missed their job and should have become professional football players instead)? After you played the first Call of Duty, you've played them all.

Guitar Hero/Rock Band also come into mind, but it does so much for the music industry that I cannot not support the games. What I mean is that it made me start playing real guitar and get more interested in new bands. Plus, I'm good at the games and it's pretty damn fun playing with 3 other good people! =P

Because I'm a Sony fanboy whose never owned a nintendo console except Game Boy/GBA. The only times I've played Zelda were at my friends houses and I didn't find them that great.

anyway I agree with whoever said not main series Mario games. I'm fine with Galaxy and whatever comes next but please no more shitty spinoffs. In fact lets end all video game spinoffs. Main series' only from now on!
