Whatever interest I may have had in Fire Emblem in the past has been violently strangled to death by Awakening and Fates.

So play Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. Amazing games.

Tyger · August 17, 2016, 04:05:47 PM

Fallout
Halo
Spyro

Halo. 343i are hands down the most incompetent AAA developer around right now.
Fallout's fate with me dependent on whether the next installment unfucks its shit. Still, it's my favourite franchise despite Fallout 4

Spartan · August 17, 2016, 04:18:44 PM

Fallout
Dead Space (not by choice, they killed it)

I can't think of anything else, like last year I would have said Pokemon, but I love it again so

Doctor Doom · August 17, 2016, 04:34:59 PM

The Forerunner Trilogy is the point at which my interest in Halo shriveled up like a particularly disgusting raisin.

Ian · August 17, 2016, 04:47:34 PM

Halo died after Reach. 4 was fun but it sure as shit wasn't Halo.
CoD died after MW2.

The only other series I have played multiple games of that had more than three was Persona and FF but those should be considered on individual scales due to their differing gameplay and stories.

I never played fallout, whats so bad about fo4

Ian · August 17, 2016, 04:54:57 PM

Literal copy/paste of FO3.

It wouldn't have been so bad if fucking Todd didn't shill his game so hard. Making comments that basically translated/boiled down to "It WILL win GoTY" or "You'll just buy it anyways" and the funniest thing you could say about a Bethesda game "It just works".

I get the guy loves his own games but damn does he have a fucking ego. He had an interview a while back right after Skyrim where he commented on the state of the industry and all he did was bash every other genre of video games other than RPGs, and when he commented on RPGs he only really praised his games and ME.

It's not even a copy/paste of FO3. FO3 still had skills and proper dialogue options regardless of how well they were implemented.

FO4 just an open-world shooter with basebuilding, with things like the Brotherhood and DUDE 50S STUFF LMAO and DUDE VAULT BOY LMAO to convince you that it's still a Fallout game.

I did. That, and the RE2 remake they're doing. They know what their fans want. I just feel like RE7, while interesting and a better change for things, isn't Resident Evil at all.

It just seems like the same cat/mouse games the indie devs have been at for 5 years now on Steam, with Resident Evil slapped on for a title. If there are zombies I might change my tone, but it seems it's just "oh scary monster we gotta hide from" type deal.

It's not really a copy paste of Fallout 3. It just fails on a lot of fronts to what Fallout NV (and even 3) was. That, and it felt like all of their creative writing only went towards the Brotherhood of Steel and that's about it. Every other faction was meh.

Anyone else feel like Boston was such a shitty location? The atmosphere just didn't feel nearly as good as 3 and NV did.

The Lord Ruler · August 17, 2016, 05:07:59 PM

The map was really lacking. It's bigger, yet somehow feels smaller than the CW and MW. There's nothing particularly memorable about it and the overall aesthetic doesn't really fit Fallout. Some of the buildings look pretty weird. Bethesda seems to take the whole "retrofuturism" thing way too far.

One thing I will give the map credit for though is the amount of verticality that it allows you. You don't see that in 3 or NV.

Yeah the vertical thing was fantastic, but the buildings themselves just felt so.... ew. The entire city was ew.

I feel they honestly nailed the combination of it in Fallout 3. Enough to make it feel like they wanted its own thing, but still enough to feel like Fallout to me. NV obviously felt like the older ones.

But idk, 4 was just so boring. No amazing landmarks, and aside from the Glowing Sea, I didn't really feel interested.

Yeah I thought Fallout 3 had a pretty great map. Nice atmosphere and aesthetic. There was stuff to do in the depths of the DC ruins but also a lot in the wilderness too. Plus you got cool places like Rivet City. Diamond City isn't particularly interesting.

Halo 5 has a "high population" in a similar way to how Halo 5 had the "most successful launch".

SecondClass · August 17, 2016, 05:33:21 PM

just Halo tbh

I still love Call of Duty and Fallout

BaconShelf · August 17, 2016, 05:40:40 PM

Halo. 5 got me to go home and rethink my life and I realised I hadn't enjoyed 343's content as much as I'd convinced I had.

Mass Effect
Assassin's Creed

Everything else that I don't play anymore isn't from some kind of line drawn in the sand, just a general apathy towards the recent developments in the property nowadays. Halo, CoD, MGS, and Dragon Age are examples of this.
