I think they should stop Sims. Definitely. Those expansion packs are getting RETARDED.
Sims: IKEA Home Stuff? Dear god, who's brilliant idea was that bollocks?

Final Fantasy, way past its prime moving towards Graphics Whore Syndrome, in which the only thing to sell about the game is puuuuurty graphics.

Also, DMC, it's only gonna get worse.

Most of the posts in here have been "I don't like this series for X reason(s), so I wish it would go away even though a large number of people like the series."

Didn't I specify clearly enough that that's NOT what this topic was about?

*sniff* My poor thread, she has been raped.

I don't see any reason why the Metroid series should be put to an end... Although Metroid Fusion seems like what could possibly the very end of the series, and everything else is just games that take place between the very first Metroid and it.
No chance, people will be clamouring for another Fusion Suit game, because it's the first bit of actual character development Samus has gotten since the E-manga came out. The thing is that Metroid isn't ABOUT character development, it's about getting from point A to point B, collecting powerups and shooting anything that moves en route. So Nintendo will give us character development for Samus which requires more and more games, and I can only see it going downhill from here. Please, Nintendo, give Samus one more game, make it a good one, and then STOP.

I don't think this should be as much "which sequels need to be over" as it should be "developers need to get some real development going before releasing a sequel".

I mean, Halos 1 to 3 are basically the same game with a couple extra guns and maps and a slightly different plot... Halo 2 and 3 might as well have been expansions that nobody would notice a difference, I mean, I've seen expansions with more actual content added...

But Halo isn't the only one, a crushing amount of developers these days seem to suffer from "EA/Nintendo Syndrome". It's not about releasing a good game, it's about releasing as many games as humanly possible, generally copies of each other, that LOOK good. But as yathzee put it "they always LOOK good"...

I have nothing against sequels, no matter what the number... I have something against franchise milking sequels, that really bring nothing to the table.

I mean, has there been 1 year since like...1998? 1995? Where EA didn't release yet ANOTHER FIFA/NHL/FHL/NBA..etc tittle or MORE? It's always the same fucking game with slightly better graphics and 1 different control.... No, not even... Just slightly better graphics most of the times... And people buy it, which is the root of this particular evil...

If a developer has REAL content to add, they should make a sequel... But only if there's actual new content. Otherwise, if they ignore this and make yet another copy with a new name, don't tell them "please do more!!" by buying the bloody thing.

*Can someone tell me how to to the accent above the E?
For most English (qwerty?) keyboards it's alt gr(the one just to the right of the space bar, generally)+e. It works for all vowels. áéíóú.

FF, Link, Mario, Sonic, all the 'classics' need to be put down. They were great in their time, but now it's like grandpa walks in with a Lil' Wayne album. It just needs to stop.
Halo needs to stop before it gets even more out of hand.
Rock Band and Guitar Hero will become the new DDR, endlessly releasing new games with new songs OR Rock Band 2 will eventually run out of songs to release on DLC, and Harmonix will fade away. Until the next great thing.
Dynasty Warriors- Each time I see a new ad for one I fail to see how it's new and interesting.

Final Word: If it's gotten to game 4, it should stop.

Well, if you'd bother to read the OP, it's seRIES, not seQUALS. Otherwise, I pretty much agree.

I think GTA needs a total overhaul.
Either give us a Han Solo style space bounty hunter open universe or an historical Roman general out to conquer the world.

What are series composed of if not sequels? What are, for instances, Halo 2 and 3 if not sequels to Halo 1?

Rock Band and Guitar Hero? Seriously?
For me, these series may go on as long as there is Rock and Videogames, even if i may grow tired of it, it's better than the annual sports game updates.
And once the good songs are gone and we are forced to play, say, jonas brothers? :)

Medal of Honor - This game series that somehow manages to be popular enough to encourage new games is part of why FPSes have stagnated today and why we're sick TO DEATH of seeing World War 2.

Call of Duty - Only if the rumours of Call of Duty 5 being set in ANOTHER BLOODY WORLD WAR 2 ERA are true.

God Of War (Just Let it die in peace!!!!)
What? Are you suggesting no GOW 3? You want me to be satisfied with the cliffhanger from God of War II?
Actually, you're right. I remove that form my list. In it's place we'll put..... hmm...... Katamari Damacy. With it's shitty 360 port, even worse psp port, this (at first) inventive series needs to just plain go away.

The first 'Final Fantasy' should have been the 'Final' fantasy. We call it 'The Series That Will Not Die'.
