Forums - Gaming - Game Franchises That Changed so Much to Worst

Some Game Franchises were awesome some years ago, but with the time the changes were so much that some your Favorite Franchises are now the games  you hate the most.

- The developers changed the games so much that you can't even recognise them. The gamplay onyl got worst and some of it's original essence vanished..

- Others on the other hand got stuck in time, and didn't benefit them in  anyway..

My first thought is the Final Fantasy series, damn FF7/8/9/X are some of my favorite games, i enjoy playing the classic ones too, but Damn, Square-Enix really blow it away, X-2 was the beggining, FF12 wasn't that bad but wasn't a real FF either, than FF13 happened and damn it's bad, what is worst? SE made 2 Sequels for the Worst in series! not to mention the Online games...

On the other hand, Gran Turismo, which was the King of racing, now got stuck in it's own past, GT6 is not a bad game, but it shows how Polyphony Digital is stuck in it's own success, the game lacks innovation, the boring parts became even more boring..

 

- What games you used to love but now developers completely ruin them to something you cannot enjoy anymore?

- What made them good? Why you enjoyed back then?

- Do you still expect them to rise again at least by a fraction what made them good to you?

B A T T L E F I E L D . I don't think they will ever release a product even on par with BF2, 2142, or BC2. Quality and fun factor have dropped off immensely with 3 and 4, right when EA started their "CoD killer" marketing and focus. Hard to believe they are same series.

Sonic was great when SEGA had a console on it's own, after that i think they didn't even care to much about their games, specially the blue hedgedog.. i don't think we will ever see again a Sonic game as good as the classic ones, even the Dreamcast was good for today's standards.



Sonic comes straight to mind.
