It's no secret that gamers and game developers both have been showing some fatigue with certain game franchises.
Sometimes when that happens, it's best to put that franchise out to pasture - even if it's just for a few years. Below are five such franchises that could use a break.
Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson stated in a recent EA Earnings Call, that the next Battlefield "it is going to be another tremendous live service.”
Another? ANOTHER?
Is he honestly trying to make out like the last Battlefield was a huge success, not just as a game but as a live service game? I'm sure these guys live in their own echo chambers, they are so far removed from reality or they just like talking out of their arse trying to rewrite history.
Also why say such a tone deaf statement when you know the state of live service games at the minute and how many gamers feel about them. Bigging up the next BF game as live service does not give me any excitement or hype.
This is nothing too new

They had plans of a universe of live service games
Also these studios made 2042 there is no new massive team its the same team

This is all again same news different year but it seems very few remember what happened before covid.
At least they put car freshner trees up their asses to think smelling their own farts smells good at this point to be so out of touch.
Call of Duty games used to be streamlined experiences, but COD 2024’s UI could be another nightmarish clutter of streaming tabs.
If we’re beating that drum, can we also stop forcing anyone who wants to play only the single player to download Warzone and all updates BEFORE they are then able to do another download from the menu of the single player campaign. I don’t see why I need 150gb of downloads in several ways to play the single player mode only from a bloomin disk which should have that campaign on it already.
The UI is confusing to me because I have not purchased a Call of Duty iin like 8 years .Only bought CoD MW3 because 3 of my friends I have known since to 70s are playing zombies . But I am used it now .
The UI is the least of the franchise many problems these days. But yes the UI is also terrible.
Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."
They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.
Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid
I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.
Wow. Nailed it!!
" Furthermore, the reception for the two latest core games, colonial America's Assassin's Creed III and the swashbuckling Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag have seemed far less AC-like than players would like. "
Couldn't agree more
I mean when you have to turn the focus of a game called ASSASSINS Creed to Pirates then you know you have a problem.
Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed absolutely need a break. That well is completely dry and needs a few years to refill. Everyone's complaining about Ghosts.
Great list, definitely agree with all of those.
Screw this article. I love me some Dynasty Warriors!!
