Also, Lego Star Wars was great, have all the ones since then sucked?

The Asian community will see to it that 9, 6, 5, 4 and 2 never go anywhere. Western gamers will see to it that 7, 3 and 1 won't go anywhere. And the woman who sits near me on the bus will see to it that 10 doesn't die.

#8 won't be dying anytime soon, considering they've made the following into Lego games...

Star Wars
Batman (sequel coming out this year)
Indiana Jones
Harry Potter
Pirates of the Caribbean
Rock Band

And something tells me before it's all said and done that we get Lego Lord of the Rings

Yes let's get rid of franchises that have a history of good games instead of the actual bad ones.

I've never understood the whole "I don't like it therefore people who do like it shouldn't get to have it" argument.

You can make all of those franchises disappear from your life instantly by choosing not to play them!

i can't comment on their opinions since i cant watch videos atm but

10 Angry Birds
9 Dynasty Warriors
8 Lego series
7 Call of Duty
6 Dragon Ball
5 DDR
4 Kingdom Hearts
3 Madden
2 Final Fantasy
1 Halo

Errr...aside from angry birds which is just a time waster, just about all of these series, with the exception of like Halo (which is at number 1 for whatever reason) have gone downhill. I'd actually say it's a pretty decent list considering, and I like a lot of the games that are presented here.

Dynasty Warriors has improved more in the last 5 years than any other series on that list!
I guess that's not saying much, but it really is evolving.

For the sake of investing way too much time into this, I'm gonna list the arguments they had that I agree with:

Angry Birds: It's no longer a game. It's a ****ing marketing monstrosity.
Lego series: Why make Lego ____ when you can just make ____?
Kingdom Hearts: Spinoffs, remakes of spinoffs (seriously, wat?), but no KH3 yet?
Madden: NFL football is apparently an EA monopoly, meaning they have zero competition in the genre.
Final Fantasy: 95% of the people on this board agree that the series has been going downhill for the last decade.
Halo: Halo 3 was supposed to end the trilogy according to the developers. Then Microsoft sold the IP to someone else just so they could cash in on it.

Because it lets you pay homage to something you like, by applying a healthy dose of humor and flaw-poking while still reveling in all that makes ____ good. Not exactly rocket science, this one.

Basically, the only one I agree with is Madden, and only because of the monopoly argument. Everything is really dumb, because none of these franchises has gotten so bad that it can't be saved. Therefore, none of them are worth chucking.

It's gone beyond "not as good as it used to be". They're talking about "what the hell happened to this series?" grades of badness.

Come to think of it, I'm shocked Sonic wasn't on that list.

Smash has literally three games out and they've all been relatively well-received. And it's only had three games in thirteen years. What's wrong with it?

No, not Zelda and Metroid! The three series I mentioned are more or less rehashing the same game, with the only real change being that they're casual-ified.

Zelda and Metroid are not, however.
