Forums - Gaming - Gameing franchises that are being milked.

Mario, Pokemon, dynasty warriors



Around the Network

Oh, there's plenty. Let's see...

-Grand Theft Auto. So we reskin everything and get people to rebuy the same game all over again!
-Call of Duty. How many have been released recently?
-Guitar Hero. Ditto. I hear a cow mooing in pain on this one.
-Final Fantasy. Squenix, try releasing something withOUT the words "Final Fantasy" in the title...
-Pokemon. Really, at least 2 games at each iteration, and a remake on the next system is almost assured.
-EA Sports. Madden since when?? I want to say 1991?
-Gran Turismo. Not too many games have had the gall to charge for what is essentially a demo.
-Metal Gear. These seem to be ramping up in frequency, with not a lot of actual gameplay.

-On a quest for the truly perfect game; I don't think it exists...

1- COD

5- Guitar Hero

It's funny how it's mostly sony players who say halo is being milked, while it's not...

pokemon is by far the most successful milkers. They can release the same game 3 times and each one sells over 5mil.
Other milkers COD, Guitar Hero, Sports games. Can't really think of any other games that consistently spew out at least 1 game a year that is usually nearly the same. Although some just release the same game every few years but i don't consider that milking.



I really wouldn't say a franchise is milked if a lot of effort goes into each game, so COD, Halo, Mario ect ...

There's obviously no bias in this comment. The comment that comes from a guy with master chief in his name.

I think we have a winner here. That's what I think too.

Also, to anyone saying Halo is milked because of two spin-offs, well we might as well count Killzone and Resistance because of the PSP titles eh?



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
