^^^100% this. They literally gave the original fans the finger.

@@ramonosuke remember the "haters gonna hate" tweet? It was disgusting what those new devs tried to do with the franchise. It backfired horribly and I'm glad. Hope some other studio or someone buys up the IP or something!

Yup. They openly resented the irreverent edge present in the original games. This is like replacing South Park with Amy Schummer. They tried to replace over-the-top crass humor with entry-level social commentary. Pitiful.

Exactly Gameranx's take wasn't the best on Saints row. They got rid of everything that made them great and tried to appeal to Twitter, and it blew up in their faces.

I actually love the core of the idea, trying to do a parody of Twitter and current culture stuff with the standard edginess and over the topness of old Saints Row would have been an amazing idea but they fumbled the execution so hard

When liberalism invades art and entertainment it ruins them, just like it ruins real life as well

“Do you like waffles?” Because all gangs eat waffles in the morning!

That's what happens when writers spend too much time on twitter and in Starbucks.

@@blueninjanoname7338accurate

The writing and scene composition for this game were like a shitty sitcom, every possible aspect was handled poorly with characters that are beyond forgettable. Everything that made Saint's Row great and fun is absent from this installment. The visuals were also terrible in many aspects, as well, which was just the rancid icing on top of a shit cake. That "cat" is the shining example.

Oh yeah those modern audience with their rainbow brains

​@@AJ-dx6bn"modern audiences" = social justice warrior hipsters at the starbucks who only play video games because it's the "current thing"

Yeah, imagine making a "gang" of uni students. Beyond out of touch.

The kind of "Modern" audiences that don't buy anything, just REE and complain on the internet about everything, never leave home yet they always complain about their parents...oh and of course they don't know what Bathroom they belong to.

Who's to say GTA6 won't go the same way? I'm scared 5 was the last of an era of idgaf.

The continuity and returning characters made the series greater than a sum of its parts.

A couple years ago I hyped myself up because I bought Saints Row 2 on Steam, and oh boy, did I have some rose tinted glasses on. The game has not aged as well as I thought 😅

I gave SR2 a try after loving SR3 and it was a mistake. Both are completely irrelevant games except sharing some characters.

Saints Row 4 was decent imo.

Saints row 2 is definitely peak saints row But saints row 3 & 4 are fun

It has many big and popular IPs, unfortunately.

It's because of the soccer games and the other sports games but I completely agree with you and can't understand how they're so big either.... Especially after the loot box saga and Anthem

Yea EA sits on a fat pile of money every year from fifa and madden

A big chunk of their profit comes from the yearly sports games, which are clones of the previous ones, but people still buy 'em

FIFA is an absolute cash cow of annual releases on every platform with microtransactions and no rival to speak of.

The first 2 Thief games were amazing. For some reason, they could never duplicate them.

Always loved that series ngl. Shame that Thief 4 isn't as good as all the previous ones, it's not a bad game but it just feels different in a bad way. The Moira asylum was great though, I was legit terrified when playing in there TwT

The old thief games might have looked like shit even for their era, but as anyone who played them can attest high quality sound and fantastic sound design is far more atmospheric than any graphics could ever be. Thief is still one of the most terrifying games in existence, and that can all be traced back to its sound design.

The Shalebridge Cradle mission from Thief Deadly Shadows was the absolute pinnacle of tension for the series. Between the bleak corridors, the creepy soundscape (play this with surround sound on, I dare you!), and uncovering the history of the place .. the first time I encountered one of the "inmates" I dang near fell backwards out of my seat. Best. mission. Ever!

From a technical point of view, Andromeda had a lot to offer compared to the trilogy, bugs notwithstanding. In my view the problem is that it was just a bit too big, open world and unfocused compared to the trilogy, so some of that magic feeling wasn't there. Seriously hoping the next game in development is a return to form, but I think that is still a while away sadly.

Mass effect 2 was genius and brilliant from start to finish. Andromeda was a big disappointing flop.

I seethe when people talk bad on this game maybe I’m biased because I played it after the trilogy came out but I had no technical issues the combat was an adaptation but a well aged one. The potential with world building even tho a lot of choices felt pointless I’m sure it was because they had plans for a sequel. And I hope they add some elements in ME4 maybe Ryder comes to the aid at the end of its big ending battle. Loved the design of the kett and their ships and the ending twist was pretty massive with a cliffhanger of the (spoiler) Jaardan.

​@TheMastiffprince 2 is actually my leaat favorite of the series. That's saying something considering the hatchet job they did with the ending of 3. I just despised the switch to mission based play and how they abandoned (and then later mocked) their own lore surrounding the weapons system, scrapping heat for ammo.

@@craigmurray4746it literally has nothing memorable about it. I don’t remember a single character in the game honestly. The gameplay was good but the story and world were so blah.

I think you have formed a critical misunderstanding. SimCity was not supposed to be a game. SimCity was was supposed to be a money printer for EA. Please stop expecting trip A publishers to create a game for you... They never have and never will.

@@The13thRonin He isn't though. He's saying the gameplay itself is good (as in the developers made a good game, not the publishers). All the issues he pointed out were caused by publisher-based decisions, not developer, so he's actually pointing out how the publisher screwed the game over.

@@Doomerang01 You are too naive son.

Driver wasn't the problem tho, The Crew was.

Driver San Francisco was one of my favorite games as a kid. Played the shit out of it

Driv3r and Parallel Lines really ruined that series. Driver: San Francisco was great, and a return to form, I love that game. I don't think it sold enough to keep the series afloat sadly.

God I remember that and halo 3 were the first games I had for my 360 😂 I still play Halo MCC every day

It's Great.

As a fan of the original Turok comics and games, I honestly thought the 2008 Turok game was quite a novel departure from what we'd seen before, and honestly the games before had pushed the story into a place where it could easily become convoluted. The 2008 game isn't the greatest thing since bread, but it really doesn't deserve the hate or comparison it got. The Dinosaurs are cool, it's cinematic and immersive and even Ron Perlman chews up most of the scenery. Deserving of reboot, it's such a great franchise

I grew up on Turok: Rage Wars and Turok 2: Seeds of Evil

I really liked the 2008 Turok, never beated that endboss. Was super hard. I loved how the corpses where still kicking after being stabbed or something. Never saw that in any other game. Watching the last breath of a dinosaur was satisfying.

Saints Row turned into a looney toons sketch.

It’s what happens when you try to appeal to the blue haired creeps on Twitter. These idiot companies don’t seem to realize that the Twitter losers they try so hard to appease don’t buy their games, their comics, their figures, etc because these losers don’t have jobs.

I only played SR 3 and 4. Honestly, I liked that it was a GTA clone that had its own thing going, and that thing was taking that formula and making it ridiculous, instead of trying to beat rockstar at their own game. SR4 is an incredible superhero sandbox game. i kinda miss playing it sometimes.

Never played 1 and 2. I did really like the third one. But the 4th one lost me

Saints row 3 was awesome. Didn’t try to be a gta clone and was just fun in general. 4 was where it started going too far, and the latest one is just a garbage fire

Yea I kinda took it as it’s been a few years with Isaac taking on the necromorphs and now is working with real resistance group so it would make sense he’s more equipped and militant. It’s not the first one where he was just an engineer with a plasma cutter and using some guards weapons he was somewhat familiar with. He’s been hardened by 2 major events by the time of the 3rd game. So I was okay with it being a little more action based and dialing back on the horror, it had its moments in both directions for sure but it wasn’t just some shoot em up fest or anything. The DLC and micro transactions were lame though, dlc should’ve been base game.

I was discussing it with my friend. But the story we got for DS3 was actually the 2nd version. It’s not the original plot and the first one was way more darker involving hallucinations of issacs past. I do hope they remake 3 from the ground up with the original story

I totally agree. I thought it was fun and enjoyed the story. Creating your own weapons was a great feature as well.

Don't forget how they literally mocked their fans for complaining and made fun of them on Twitter.

i think games, movies, consumer products, etc. try to follow the trends because they're trying to continue that unsustainable growth by capturing other audiences ignoring their core player/viewer base and that's what eventually leads to the collapse of these franchises.

What I don't get is why they decided to try to be COD. They were light-years ahead as far as sim like balance and the environment. I stopped playing at 3

​@@mgiebus1869Bf4 and especially 1 were great too.

@@mgiebus1869lol no. Last good bf game was bc2 then they went back on all the cool decisions. Cod has been in the lead for a long time

its not the devs, its the sales department

Yea also with the small horror light influences, where you are usually fighting bugs, felt like starship troopers. Still, both games were so much fun, but Armageddon was too much of a sidestep for most. If you can get for a few bucks, still worth it though!

@@noobshotpro i tried the demo a while back and it put me off completely. Went back to Guerrilla shortly thereafter.

@@noobshotpro I think it'd be a more better overall experience of the franchise if, after playing the first two games, one then get into Armageddon BEFORE getting into Guerrilla. :P

Volition turned out to be such a fuck up in the last decade

I think they may have been trying to go for a more corridor shooter like RF1 and 2 but wound up not having the destructible environments of 1, the action of 2 (itself a bit of the red headed step child of the franchise) with you mostly fighting bugs or the open world building destruction of 3.

This is ehat ruined Sim city for me... and EA being EA, tried BING their way around it, claiming the engine wouldn't support it. 24hrs later, a modder released a mob that allowed you to build outside the plot, with the only limitations being the transit/trade features EA created for no reason.

I will say Dishonored 2 without powers was the closest I've gotten to the "Thief" feeling. Not the same, but it's a good honorable mention imo.

@@FightYourCouch I also totally liked Dishonored series and finished them all, but can't say I'm a fan of Arkane Studios latest games, I preferred Dishonored... Thief was a pretty advanced game for when it came out too and with damn good looking visuals with crazy shadows for back then. I actually finished the latests Thief and dlc or some crap and actually liked it, but can't say I'm the hugest kind of fan of it, I also prefer Dishonored kind of game to Thief...

Thief deadly shadows was cool

​@@FightYourCouchsame for the game Prey but instead of stealth you just gotta be aware of your surroundings because those little aliens can be a coffee mug waiting to attack you.

Same here man

SEGA is one of the publishers that are infamous for that. Dor instance SEGA hasn't made another game that is based on the Chaotix because people hated the 32X game because it wasn't really that great and poof no more games about the Chaotix.

Exactly

Agreed. And while some will say the story was too outlandish, I didn't really have a problem with that. I will say it became more of a shooter-game than a horror game, but I liked DS3 the best due to its gameplay mechanics and DS2 for its horrorstory. If they were to somehow blend those I'd be great.

I was fine playing a battlefield game without the campaign, meaning they'll focus more on the multiplayer. But a hero shooter Battlefield is not Battlefield. Plus they scaled back on the destruction which is also not battlefield

It still sucks, so I uninstalled. No one plays it anyway. Battle bit is what bf should’ve been

This one hits right at home, I started playing BF with Bad Company 1 (which had a great MP and campaign) and ever since played the ones after... till 2042. Just like you mentioned, it broke my heart, I didn't preorder the game which was a great call but later when I played it after many "patches" the game still felt bland, I really couldn't believe I got bored fast and didn't wanted to continue playing. Since BC1 was my first BF Rush became a big thing for me, and it seems as more games come they give less focus to it, tho still doesn't remove the fact I really enjoyed BF 1 and V. Still, such a shame to see the most recent one be a hero shooter as someone else mentioned and not doing the trick.

Battlefield 2042 is trash. It has no campaign. Enough said.

It got better then just blatantly got boring af maps aren’t fun

I actually highly recommend Matt McMuscles "Wha Happun?" series if anyone is interested in learning about the development of some of the games on this list. They're very entertaining vids. :)

Noclip is the king.

@@ThePhoenixScribe i miss matt and patt

​@nicklj2480 hell yeah, came to say the same 🤘🏽

You're not alone bud. Simply from hearing him talk about games I have found new games to play. Hundreds of hours worth of forgetting the world because someone told me about it. Keep easy bud! Life's hard for everyone. We got our problems but we all relate somewhere. Like here. You got this dude!

That game is one of the coolest games I've ever played. I'll never forget the first time playing it, I was mind blown. I'd never experienced anything like it before, and like you say it's mechanics live on in sooo many games to this day. I'd love to see a reboot.

I don't get why people say Mirror's Edge is "dead". The original was made in 2008. The sequel in 2016. An 8 year gap. Another 8 year gap puts us in 2024. So to call it "definitely dead" in 2023 seems a little premature.

If it weren’t for Mirror’s edge, I don’t think Dying light would’ve happened (at least not with the amazing parkour mechanics).

@@lesterbronson2385 Despite some missteps(sudden focus on guns midway through, 'meh' story, the grappling hook), DyingLight laid a pretty good groundwork-that DICE have a good year and a half to look at and steal from; on how to tie the parkour mechanic into the overall core gameloop(the open-world). Initially, written something upwards to five paragraphs of in-depth comparison between DyingLight and Mirror'sEdgeCatalyst in terms of their general gameplay design. So I think it's better to just sum up my core point with MEC; Whatever gameplay mechanics it has are solid(parkour and melee combat specifically), but it overall suffered the same problem FarCry2 did; it's an open-world game, that's directionally constrained, and extremely limited outside it's main/story content. It has parkour mechanics(a very good one in fact! I actually wished more games incorporated MEC's momentum-based parkour) and you can run around the map. But the world, surprisingly, is designed in a way that you often run to a very specific route to get to alot of areas, and the game is paced in a way, that generally discourage you from just enjoying the open-world, and actually getting well-acquainted with the parkour system. It's a open-world game where YOU have to go out of your way to make your own fun, and that you are not encourage to do so(there's no intrinsic reward for just playing around) DyingLight pretty much solved these by making their world densely packed with limitless content(randomized loot, random friendly/enemy NPC spawns), made the parkour itself literally rewarding(as in, the game drip feeds you XP every second you are running around and jumping/climbing over things), and designed the map in a way were, it is indeed up to you, how'd you get "from point A to point B"(go up the overpass, or go through the slums? stay in the rooftops, or run through the alleyways? up pass the hill with the antenna tower, or down through the opened road tunnel?). Reminded me, the one thing I can't forget in MEC, is that often recurring moment of just running across that long, cramped, indoor vent things up to a long ladder, in order to get somewhere relevant. The moment that stuck with me from playing MEC, is the antithesis of open-world freedom. I really wanted to love this game, but MEC is frustrating for me because the concept basically sells itself (open-world, momentum-based parkour game), but they didn't capitalized on it in any meaningful way. First Mirror's Edge is a linear game, but that feels more accomplished in its execution.

I enjoyed Catalyst. I played the original after I played Catalyst. The parkour was so cool. I hope they make another.

The Ubisoft effect…

No Michael Ironside, no buy. The 2013 (Blacklist) game was pretty fun, but Conviction felt like a Max Payne story and Double Agent was clunky and the RPG moments frustrating.

I still throw Crow out that window every once in a while

Agreed vendetta and fight for new York were so much fun to me. I still wish to this day they would remake or remaster those two and bring online play to them. Icon was such a stupid decision from the devs but that's how it goes

The problem is that many execs, especially in American companies, see success only in trying to cast the broadest net possible, often with ostentatious, over-detailed graphics that bloat development budgets. The fact of the matter is that not everything can be for everyone, but American companies are still trying to make one-size-fits-all games.

Baldur's Gate 3 is another example of a game company actually giving their fans what they want and reaping the rewards of doing so; and not by overreaching themselves with ludicrous graphics that allow us to see a random npcs sweaty pores.

And that specific audience introduce and invite more and more audience like them, the audience keep expanding and get bigger, fan happy, fromsoft made money, everyone happy, i dont like hard game but i love sekiro, i die alot but nit frustrating bc their audience let me know what to expect and introduce me to it.

Make a great game, get it out there and players will buy it. Look at Zelda, Elden ring, hell even Baldur Gate 3. I don’t know anything about that series but I hear great things about that game It’ll get people to play these type of games that they wouldn’t have tried before. Don’t chase trends

@@joegardner851 "Don't chase trends" is pretty good advice for game companies. Because with how trends come and go as quickly as they do nowadays, by the time game developers make a game to cash on a trend, the trend usually has already up and left.

A lot fans will open embrace spinoffs of their favorite games. Yakuza 7 upended the traditionalYakuza brawler gameplay and fans loved it. While it plays completely differently than previous Yakzua games, its still distinctly 'Yakuza'. Same with the Judgment spinoffs.

@@Bateluer Right. They changed the mechanics of the game, but it still has that very specific Yakuza feel with the tone and story telling methodology. They took a risk changing the gameplay, and it turned out in their favor, but if they changed the tone of that game, it would likely flop.

@@Bateluer I think of Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Massively different, but not a numbered release so people get it. "Oh, it a fun side swing thing"

@OhNoTheFace Yakuza Like a Dragon was billed as the next mainline game in the series, not as a spinoff. The 'Like a Dragon' branding was to align the western branding with the Japanese branding, eg, the series has been called Yakuza in the west and LaD in Japan since its inception.

Survive is about as far as you can get from being Metal Gear while still calling it Metal Gear, likely would have done better as its own thing detached from other IP

Turok evolution was fun, I'd say it's definitely the most likely to be remade

Maybe look at Exoprimal, a lot of reviews didnt really went deep into it, but its one of the best shooter with dinos.

I enjoyed it, even played with a few friends and had a good time. Really liked the customization of buildings with the module system. Somehow I was always the one who unlocked most of the Departments. I'd usually get 3 of them before a neighbor got one. If Simcity 2013 launched with less bugs and network issues, I think I'd honestly rate it above Cities Skylines because the modules were just that nice.

SimCity was amazing. I remember it was on the school computers and somehow we got to play it sometimes during class or free time. It was simple but detailed enough to be fun and creative. I guess Cities: Skylines has taken over that mantle, but Sim City could have stayed relevant, I think, if they just kept their basic idea together and updated it with modern graphics.

Yes! I loved SimCopter. I was hoping that Stormworks: Build and Rescue was going to be a nice successor to it, but instead that game just got overbloated with the building part rather than the actual search and rescue part...

The Dead Space remake knocked it out of the park. I really loved The Callisto protocol as well (bought the Collector’s edition).

I played tons of hours of SC1 with friends and mods, got SC2 and it was… fine. It had some cool ideas, like releasing half built experimentals. Then years later, about a year ago, we tried playing SC2 again. After one rounded all collectively decided to never touch it again and stick with SC1 lol.

I used to enjoy it when it was better known as "Total Annihilation". Used to have days of fun on huge maps while my computer at the time couldn't process the bazillion aircraft and nukes going off at the same time.

Also because if a certain style of game hasn't attracted a certain persons attention, it probably won't for long if changed. For instance, it doesn't matter how welcoming to new players Elden Rings is, it still didn't capture my attention (or money).

​@@Shadow__133It's one of those games you can't watch, you have to play it. It's a masterpiece in gaming.

Adding new things to create a successful franchise is a must. It is a rarity that a franchise can put out the exact same thing, over and over again without eventually getting stale and losing their audience. However, when introducing new things, producers need to retain the feel and play that originally attracted their audience in the first place. That is definitely a mistake that Volition made with SRTT and SRIV, then later with the reboot. SRTT and SRIV they trying too hard to not be a "GTA clone" and they abandoned the relatively serious tone they had in favor of going completely goofy... the game died in the next release. The Reboot they tried to draw in a "modern" audience with a new crew and a new city... They made the new game about whiny 20 somethings that decide to start a "criminal empire" to pay off school loans... Well, they took a gamble to try to draw in a new crowd, and they completely lost the original base... which before release, they were trying to sell the game to, also... it wasn't until after the reveal that they started saying, "We didn't make this game FOR YOU." Apparently not... and it failed horribly, resulting in Volition being sold to a new studio that probably won't use them for anything except higher production capacity.

@@Shadow__133 cuz u succ

@narkomancers5262 I said it was a rarity, and not that it never happened. Although, I am sure that even looking at those games you have mentioned changes have been made in order to keep the formula fresh, instead of re-releasing the exact same game.
