If you could choose 1 game to be wiped from history forever... What would it be?

Halo and Half Life
Sorry, both of them are the reasons that FPS games are war games after war game after alien game that's just about as decent to look at as a pencil-sketch of a 1950's book.
Not to mention, I hear so many "intelligent" PC gamers loving Gordon Freeman and saying that putting a Sock Puppet character in a FPS game is original. Oh hasn't that been done since say, every single one ever made? Heck we all know Gordon Freeman is just another Dragon Quest-style hero.

Without Half Life, Valve wouldn't of become successful, thus no Portal. I like Portal.

Starcraft.

After learning about it's popularity in Korea from this week's articles, remove it just to see what Korea does.

Shit, careful. They might nuke you, you know what they're like.

[/sarcasm]

Thing is, I like the halo games, but I don't like the games that blatantly rip them off. Which isn't all of them, I mean, a lot of people say that setting a game in the future with aliens and giving the guy a gun and armour is copying Halo. Like Halo didn't rip off any other games.

Friday the 13th for NES

It was the worst game I've ever played, I think.

 

[Woe Is You]

Starcraft.

After learning about it's popularity in Korea from this week's articles, remove it just to see what Korea does.

It's not just Starcraft, though it's the most popular game they have. It's eSports in general. They'd probably be playing a game like Guild Wars or somesuch instead.

I dunno, Halo would be nice, but WoW would save so many people...

I just wish I could reduce the popularity of a few games instead of totally deleting one. Like Final Fantasy 7, I mean I liked the game and all, but I just can't stand the idiotic following it has.

 

[Hurray Forums]

Portal. Yes it was a fun game blah blah blah. But I just want to stop hearing about it. I've heard my mom say "the cake is a lie" and she can't even turn on a computer or game console by herself let alone play the game.

 

[Milkatron]

It would easily be the origonal goldeneye. I hate how popular shooters are. Without this game, there woulden't be nearly as many

Sorry dude, but that's Halo's fault.
Speaking of which, my vote for Halo.

 

[AceDiamond]

Gears of War

 

[iamnotincompliance]

E.T. The Extraterrestrial. Thank god all the copies are buried in the desert.

Not all of them. I happen to have a cartridge of it.

That's my line! Oh, well, at least I'm not the only one with a copy, but we got ours new.

But I digress, as always. If I were to banish one game from existence, it would have to be Dance Dance Revolution. No inexplicably popular, gimmicky DDR, my thinking goes, no inexplicably popular, gimmicky Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and perhaps a less gimmicky, still popular Wii. But that's probably just me.

 

[Omnidum]

The LoZ games on the CDi.

I don't need a reason to wipe those things off the face of the earth do I?

Think about the YouTube Poops!

I would like to erase Gothic 3. Damn people thinks they are rappers!

Edit: Or maybe Ghostbusters for NES, I think it was.

World of Warcraft is probably one of the few games I would endure nuclear winter to see gone...

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

I dunno, maybe Deus Ex invisible war, that way we could have gotten a good sequel.

 

[Epifols]

Personally and honestly,

Call of Duty 4

 

[Veekter]

well, i would have to go with Ratchet and Clank:Size Matters, i liked the rest of the series but size matters just ruined it. And same with FF XI

 

[yourkie1921]

Grand Theft Auto. If I have to listen to one more soccer mom rant about how games like that are killing the children or something I'm gonna kill myself.

Don't say that, that means they win.

 

[The Rusk]

Probably the original Final Fantasy. Maybe then I wouldn't have wasted so many of my childhood years playing the sequels, ie. 7-10.

 

[yourkie1921]

I'd say.. hmm, Lost Planet just because it's so bad.

fuck you. Lost planet was awesome and a lot more original than most poppular games, that's not saying a lot but still.

 

[Epifols]

I dunno, maybe Deus Ex invisible war, that way we could have gotten a good sequel.

Well, how do you know it would have been better?

I'm hoping that since IW was so much worse than the original, the dev team of the 3rd tries really fking hard to make it good and actually does.

 

[Eldritch Warlord]

Personally and honestly,

Call of Duty 4

I think I agree, 'twas a great (single-player) game but unlocking weapons and perks that are significantly different from the default ones is stupid but so many people are really into it. What a cheap trick to top the Live charts.

And soon I think we'll see many games copying this.

And all the people who said Halo, name for me a few Halo clones that you all seem to think we could do better without. Or is it that Halo is overshadowing you're favorite game? I don't think very many good games were killed by a popular FPS, does Psychonaughts really have the same audience?
