I myself have grown tired of the Zelda franchise.  Something I once worshipped like mad crazy insaneness.  Who knows, maybe I over-did it?  Zelda on the NES was the very first game--ever--that I finished.  I still have the painstakingly detailed map I drew as a kid to get through Death Mountain. 

But, in recent years, I've grown increasingly annoyed and tired of Zelda games being, essentially, rehashed over and over again.

How do you feel about other game?

 

I know i'm a lot less excited about games as I used to because of that rehash and lack of creativity (it seems creativity = pretty graphics nowadays).... I feel it a bit with zelda too... but it has the infaillible nostalgia aspect :p


Um, across the board, I typically grow tired of repetitive design, games with sequels released too quickly, and remakes in general, with rare exception to each.  This isn't to say that change is always good--like Resident Evil 5 or Metroid Other M--the latter of which changed in only a few ways, but most changes were, I feel, unfortunately detrimental.

I tend to like really unique, really creative, and sometimes under-appreciated titles.  MadWorld, Manhunt 2, Portal, Eternal Darkness (an all-time favorite), Resident Evil Chronicles titles, Ninjatown, GTA: Chinatown Wars, Left 4 Dead, No More Heroes, House of the Dead: Overkill, Ninja Gaiden DS, Zelda: Link's Awakening, Zelda: Majora's Mask....

My tastes are all over the place and while there are some generalizations I dislike (that I listed in the first paragraph), I tend to like or dislike games individually.

And note:  I specifically picked on RE5 and M:OM, and it should be pointed out that these are my two favorite game franchises.  There were parts of each of these that I truly enjoyed, even loved.  But in the end, both titles featured far too many things that I felt were blemishes on their respective franchises.  Both games are fraught with illogical nonsense and doing things differently that are unfitting to their respective franchises.
