"Genre" Movie, stop, for the love of science stop, please, it's a waste of money and screen time, these actors could be working on something half decent
I am thinking that those movies killed any prospective careers or any long running careers of any of the actors in them.

I'm surprised no one has said Family Guy or American Dad or any show directed by Seth MacFarlane. They're nothing but a string of immature, borderline tasteless pop culture references. At least the Simpsons allowed us to sympathize with Homer. Peter is simply a douchebag idiot and not the good kind.

you have no soul, peter is a lovable moron that has a mental disability

Lost. Do I really need to explain this?
At least Lost is planned to end in 2 years but shows like 24 and prison break will never die when they should have stopped after the first series.

final fantasy. dear god square, let it die. it's already dead, just bury it already!

Sonic. obviously they can't get it right. just let it drop. seriously.

for those complaining about mario, zelda, etc, I think they could work if nintendo would just, for the love of god, evolve the gameplay. mario sometimes does interesting stuff, but zelda's been the same damn game every time. don't get me wrong, I LOVE that game, but I NEED variety!

Spin-off games: Really, virtually no movie-to-game conversion has really made a good game with the possible expection of the Lego 'Movie' series.
Golden Eye?
Star Wars Arcade?
The Warriors?
Scarface: the world is yours?
Aladdin?
Alien vs Predator?
(I enjoyed these games anyway)


While i agree that the majority of 'movie-to-game' conversions are uber-shite to say virtually none exists isn't true (i know, i'm arguing semantics, just wanted to point out there were some good movie-to-game conversions).

I think Micheal Bay needs to stop...Now.
and The Bill
also tv companies need to display better ways of exposing the nations comic talent that isn't a panel show. Although i enjoy watching Have I Got News For You, Never Mind the Buzzcocks or Mock the Week, the format is tired and haggered. Infact some of the best bits of these shows come from the unscripted bits that have little to do with the format. These too need to stop (but not until they've come up with something better)

Their respective careers and probably them on the inside as well, could you imagine your agent coming up to you, "I got you a lead role in a film, 'Sci-Fi Movie'!"

So basically what this thread has shown us is that any series which anyone disagrees with should end, right? Nevermind that other people might enjoy it. No, it has to END because YOU dislike it and therefore it's an offence to your eyes whenever you walk past it in a shop. I think Saddam Hussein (dodged the Godwin) had a similar idea about people who disagreed with his political regime. Nice tolerance Gaming Community, you're doing wonders.

Edit: I should note that I had a far more bile covered and lewd post laid out for before, took two hours away from it and decided that this was better. *sigh*

Zelda
Mario
Metroid
GTA
Everything Star Wars related
Halo
Mortal Kombat
Street Fighter
Soul Calibur
etc.

I think those series should end but they will not because those franchises bring money.

I don't put FF on my list because of one simple reason. No not because I like those games but because I don't see them as a series. They don't have any connection in story or character (there are some games which have connections I know).You can put another name on every game and nobody would care about (okay maybe some people would say "They could just call it FF XX because it's pretty much the same"). So I don't really understand why some people say FF. Maybe they think it's a series who knows.

Unreal Tournament - UT3 died a painful death and that particular franchise appears to be out of ideas.

Medal of Honour - Endless rehashes of WW2 shooters, and still not a single WW1 game in sight. Or a Napoleonic war game either.

GTA - the last one was painful to play.

EA in general...

Too much hype, not enough game. How I wish thee were better developed Spore...

I hate you EA =.=
Hopefully Mirror's Edge will live up to expectations, the game looks amazing, and it plays really well as well.

And I think the Simpsons needs to die. It's been in a decline for a while now, and the movie was pretty bad.

The Simpsons - for dignity's sake.
Mario.
Final Fantasy.

And Sonic (as much as I liked the first few, the new ones are just terrible...)

Hmm...
*Looks over topic, sees people say Guitar Hero*
I have the daunting feeling that some people don't like Guitar Hero.
Well, in the words of a rock band that I can't remember, you can't stop rock and roll.
... Until you've done all the classics. I'm a bit sickened by Guitar Hero actually. About... 6 or so games, and they haven't put Smells Like Teen Spirit in there.

I mean no offense to people who make these topics, but I frankly think that sometimes they just cause a bit too much frustration for people. Namely me, but I'm not gonna moan, because that makes me look stupid.

Madden. Just let out one game, and then offer roster updates as Downloadable content if your not going to do much else with it already!

WW2 games with Germans or if you only play as the Americans. There were more than those two groups! Let's see some Variation already!

Mechassault needs to never reappear, either, and in its place, there should be a proper mechwarrior/battletech game.
This!

And it should be an MMO.

A Mecha Mammorpaguh.

It'd be awesome.
