When video games take a turn for the worse

Postby Brigdoze » March 16th, 2013, 7:16 pm

What video games/video game series do you think have taken a turn for the worse? Which have gotten much more crappy over time?

I'd personally say ROBLOX. ROBLOX was fun before but it's turned into a complete ♥♥♥♥ filled with spammers and people going "lol nub gtfo i sex ur mom". Not to mention they're putting way too much emphasis on builder's club.

I don't play the series (although I'm sure it's awesome) but Sonic 06. I'm going through the GameGrumps play through. Good garish God! How could you ♥♥♥♥ up a legendary franchise THAT bad?! This isn't a question of taste. This is a question of everything is broken!

Sonic Genesis was worse.
At least 06 had an excuse as "new game" while Sonic Genesis was a port.

I honestly hated Sonic Colors a lot more, waaaaay too gimmicky *Shot*, however 06 is still pretty damn bad.
Generations is where it got a lot better, not quite as good as before but it's a start (Controls were non-responsive at points).

Also personally I found Pokemon black and white and Black and white 2 to so far be the weakest in the series, I just wasn't too fond of being set in a specific path (This is where Tsu gets mad at me).
I'm Pretty sure I should put something here...

Karyete: Seriously, what is your problem? And not only that, you fail to even acknowledge you might be in some wrong here.
Karyete: Oooh it's you? Hello. Feel free to drop this right now. You're going to make yourself look like an idiot.
Karyete: We don't want to hear your opinion at this stage.
Karyete: You're not getting any apology, especially after now.

@Tsu and Chaos
I never said they were bad, they are both very good games, just not as good as some previous games, I mentioned before my problems with them, I did however love the pokemon world championship thing however.

And regarding Sonic Colors, I disliked 50% of the stages in the game, however now I look over it, the game probably wasn't as bad as 06 (Just close), I generally really enjoyed Tropical resort, Aquarium park and some of sweet mountain and starlight carnival (or whatever it was called), I just felt the wisps were too gimmicky and repetitive for my taste. If all the stages in the game were similar to how Generations portrayed Planet wisp then it would have been pretty good. However it didn't and put wisp power-ups around the map waaaay too frequently.

Does this pass for reasoning? :P

How about anything video game-RELATED taking a turn for the worse?

Nintendo's ideas for gaming systems.
I cannot exactly describe why, but they just don't sound as exciting and new/original as the past's N64, Gamecube, and Wii... before they were released.
I don't think Nintendo could get any better than the Wii. And now they appear to be going downhill a bit...

It's good reasoning, yeah. I just, well, liked everything since Unleashed.
