Making a arbitrary, and completely unnecessary book series out of it."Bioshock" Coincidently they ruined my favorite book serious by CONTINUING it. "Hitchhikers"

if new games include interactive cutscenes, or if they make a film of the game and its the directors first film and no one has ever heard of the actors and actresses -_-

If like, Black Isle kicked the bucket and Bethesda took over... that would be an utter disaster for the Fallout series and for me as a fan.

They could release a whole bunch of shitty supplements, go bankrupt, get bought out by a frakking card game maker, turned into a generic game that's open to being flooded by 3rd party shit, then scrap the lot and re-release it with an even worse system that's so far removed from the original game they may as well have ditched the name too.

Gods I miss TSR.

The worst thing they can do to a franchise is not know when to quit. For Example: Star Wars prequels. Spider-Man 3. Silent Hill Series.
Continue to dribble out crap just because you can is not a good reason.
Don't forget *shudder* kingdom of the crystal skull.

Axing Mass Effect 3/ making Mass Effect 3 suck.

I would be raging.
Yeah that would be scary. As terrifying and depressing as this would be it would be worse. think about all of those Mass Effect fans out there. All those fans making a Mass Effect 3 in 10 years time. Horrifying just thinking about it.

Also I have to agree with the original point, any new addition to the Watchmen would totally ruin it.

I honestly think the worst thing is happening to my beloved "tactical" FPS genre. They're taking out leaning for some reason, and now the new Battlefield Bad Company (actually it was taken out in Bad Company, not just the sequel. But I'm a PC gamer so I never touched it.) took out prone too. Why are they taking so many steps back?

It would suck if some idiot director in Hollywood picked up the greatest work of fiction to ever be written and decided to make it into some ridiculously high budget trilogy of films, hired of bunch of crappy actors, wrote really weak dialogue that tried to sound like the original book but ended up just sounding stupid, completely betrayed the characters and everything they stood for, cut many important scenes in exchange for invented scenes filled with shallow mindless action and sappy love dialogue, and despite this stupid people still actually thought they were amazing movies and they won a bunch of Oscars.

Oh wait... that already happened in 2001, 2002, and 2003...
holy shit, somebody actually read through the 1500 pages of drier than dry sand called The Lords of the Rings Trilogy? Tolkien writes like Ben Stein talks.
Number one: Tolkien had a way with words that most men cannot even dream of having. I'm assuming that you have never actually tried reading the book, because everyone who has only seen the movies calls the book boring as a cop out to avoid admitting that they're a complete poser.
Number two: Watching those films was like watching Ben Stein ramble on and on for nine and a half hours. Seriously, I was struggling to stay awake.

If Timothy Zahn wrote another Star Wars book.

Seriously, any Star Wars (Expanded Universe) fans should recognize him as the creator of possibly the two most interesting characters in the Star Wars EU, Grand Admiral Thrawn and Talon Karrde.

His first 5 books (centered around Thrawn with Talon Karrde's adventures as a side story) were fantastic. Then he sold out and completely retcon'd HIS OWN UNIQUE IDEA by writing Outbound Flight, a book centered around an exploration convoy (Outbound Flight) that stumbled upon Thrawn and his race, and was extremely interesting until it became the namesake of a crappy book that miraculously transported Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker into the convoy for no reason other than to tie in recognizable film characters into his story for more profit.

(His first 5 books were written before the prequel trilogy, Outbound Flight afterwards, as if you were expecting anything else)

The same way childhood heroes are ruined: by making porn out of it and then sending it to my email with the title "You need to see this." Fuck you, Will, fuck you!... What are we talking about now? Oh yeah, or pulling a Duke Nukem on the franchise. That has a way of fucking things over.

Evil Dead, without Bruce Campbell.

Seriously, they were thinking of making a remake of the first, without the character of Ash.

Furious fan reaction (Most of it mine) made them axe the project.

When Bruce Campbell dies (which he won't, he is after all Bruce Campbell) Evil Dead dies.
Wait that's like Friday the 13th without Jason.

I mean think about Halloween season of the Witch. Where it had no Michael Myers but scientists in his mask?

It can't happen. As it would not be Evil Dead it would be lame teen horror flick. Ash was the reason it was good, someone rose and fought the evil.

It'd be like a Sci-Fi Shenmue

having them take a major part of the plot out(say zombies for instance) and replacing it with something thats like it but completely different. just like thay did to Resident Evil. i used to love that series so much... when there were zombies!
although to be fair RE4 is an awesome game

Well you could give the main caracter an annoying aprentice... fuck you Lucas
A shot at George Lucas or are you upset with Mother 3's character design?

For Elder Scrolls, Samuel L. Jackson does every voice.
Well considering its only 2 or 3 voice actors anyway, if it was a silly "iv'e had it with these muthaf*****g snakes" type of voice then if they kept the explatives in i think that would be great

actually Its getting a DS sequel in the form of Okamiden

XII and XIII are not real Final Fantasys!
Actually since they actually have been released i would say they are very much "real" if it's more a complaint about them ditching random battles, wasn't it about time they did something new? the open world awesome of XII made up for the giant corridor that X was.

well Sega's proved time and time again that Sonic games can always get worse
so the worst has happened to that franchise (hopefully)

There's also Take an RPG and try and turn it into a 2d platformer and mess both up

or the Create a series with heaps of interesting weapons and allow the player to change weapon mid-combo, then for the 4th game give the player the one weapon set for the whole game

tl;dr : wall of text

the worst thing has already happened to mine, Final Fantasy X-2! in my opinion the worst game in the entire series, FF12 wasn't much better but at least it was enjoyable, heres hoping FF13 doesn't make it worse!

I would hate to see Final Fantasy ditch what's left of the turn-based system for an all-out "action-RPG" style of combat in the vein of Kingdom Hearts. It's not that it's an inherently bad system or anything, it just feels wrong in the context of Final Fantasy. I voice this concern mainly because with each successive game, Square seems to move closer to this style of combat. Here's hoping it won't get any worse.
I second this, especially since square wants to make its games a bit more western. I understand they mix up the turn based thing so it does not get old and I respect that but lets hope they don't go too far.
