Dead video game series/franchises you refuse to let go

Tron stuff. But I know if I ask for more it's gonna be monkeys paw with Disney :(
Sad really. Tron was a fucking great franchise, and I'm tired of Disney trying to throw it under the bus in favor of the stuff they own like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Muppets, Simpsons or any Marvel property. Disney can play with toys, but they need to own up to the stuff they have made. Seriously, I want a third Tron movie right away.

Guild Wars is gradually progressing towards a similar state of affairs; again, I didn't jump into the franchise until well after GW2 was out, but I've done my best to catch up and keep up with the franchise, and... while I do like some of the changes the second game brought - I'm a fan of playing as the Charr, despite the amount of furfags that I've dealt with - it's safe to say that the first game was just outright better. The story is a big part; it has some great set-ups and plot hooks, but ANet constantly shits itself and ruins good stories for whatever reason - the Icebrood Saga is a prime example, having some solid antagonists and potential plot lines that got severely shafted in the storytelling department. End of Dragons is another example; every character was made out to be either "strong independent woman" or "weak idiotic man", like the Cantha Emperess publicly mocking and humiliating her chief security advisor when he - rather reasonably - pointed out that opening the nation's borders during a crisis is a bad call. Forcing wokeshit into the game is rotting it from the inside-out; the game itself is doing alright, last I checked, but the devs forcing wokeshit into the game - not helped by some fans rabidly defending their every move - is likely going to result in the game tanking eventually.

Yeah, the whole situation was stupid as hell; it might be convenient for the player just wanting to explore, but from a story perspective... the "Empress" is practically begging to be invaded. The whole expansion is like that, really; every man is an idiot, every woman is "strong and independent", constant shoving of gender pronouns everywhere... if it wasn't for the amount of fags giving the game support these days, it wouldn't surprise me if GW2 would drop dead in a heartbeat. The gameplay is pretty solid overall, but...

It's not like the fag shit is exclusive to End of Dragons, either; there was that bit of Roe vs. Wade getting shoved in, and the previous expansion The Icebrood Saga had the main villains - a collection of Charr renegades that started worshipping Jormag known as the Frost Legion - be a very thinly veiled stand-in for right-wing nationalism. The fact that the Frost Legion all got killed off by the end by the PC and their "super special and diverse" allies - which now includes the Flame Legion of all groups - does not help.

Seriously, by the end of EoD, there's no real direction left for the game; the main plot threads are all done, more or less, and just about every character is a 1-D woke stand-in. There's not anyone worth rooting for, or any kind of potential future story to be really had, it's just "all wokeshit, all the time" now, and it's actually fairly depressing. Compared to the first game, which had a really solid story, the devs pretty much wrote GW2 into a corner thanks to their focus on making everything diverse.

F-Zero, Nintendo got cucked by Sega's AX/GX and have been salty cunts about it for almost TWO DECADES.
Dishonored 1 was amazing, Arcane went to shit and so did the series.
Far Cry 2 was probably just a beautiful "mistake" judging by the direction the series took.
Disciples and Heroes of Might and Magic.

Star Ocean - God I want the new one to not suck.

Also @Frenda , are you aware there's a Monster Rancher game coming with kaijus this fall?


@StasiThere is supposedly an HD port of the PSP Tactics Ogre coming in November.

What did you think of the latest Star Ocean? I was almost disappointed, but my expectations were extremely low to begin with.

Twisted Metal. Sure the third one was the weakest, but it was a good series.
I wish you've told me sooner or later if it weren't for the upcoming hideous abomination that is the made-for-Peacock adaptation

I was liking how Twisted Metal Black and the PS3 twisted metal got more serious and dark with the characters. Sweet tooth's story was pretty good (by twisted metal standards) on the PS3 Twisted Metal
And now they're going to ruin everything with a TV show that's probably going to be shitty lets go

I admit, the PS3 Twisted Metal had the best-looking version of Calypso. But like you, I don't have high hopes for the live action series.
