Franchise means atleast two games right? Damn.. no TLOU, Journey or Heavy Rain (maybe even Beyond) here then xD
My top 7 NEW Franchises of THIS Generation:
1. Uncharted Series [1 was great, 2 was insane, 3 was a masterpiece]
2.LittleBigPlanet [1 was amazing, 2 improved on it]
3. Batman: Arkham Series [I actually preferred Asylum over City but both were awesome games]
4. InFAMOUS [1 was good, 2 got me loving the franchise and pleading for a 3]
5. Assassin's Creed [1 was decent but had most potential, 2 was really good even though i didnt like the direction, didnt play brotherhood, revelations was good, 3 was okay]
6. War/Star - Hawk [Warhawk was THE SHIT during the early PS3 time. Oh my god so much fun and time put into that game. Starhawk was too amibitious for its own good but still good].
7. Left4Dead [Oh some good times playing both with friends late at night during LANs x'D]
I only played Gears 1 & 2.
1 was on PC which wasnt all that.. great.
2 had an awful MP for me, I had problems with the netcode and generally made me disgusted for paying for XBL as I kinda expected more. But I did however enjoy Horde with friends. Couldnt give two shits about the SP, it wouldnt capture me and also why I said I dont care about 3.
It can influence as much as it wants but just like I didnt buy a single CoD after MW2 (thats when I realized it went to shit and I only really enjoyed CoD4) its the same for Gears with me. It doesn't matter. Either you like a game or you dont.
EDIT: I actually made a Top 7 New IP Franchises of this Generation xD, I didn't include games like God of War because they were made in the PS2 generation. List would be a whole-lot different otherwise.
