- Dead Rising
- Halo
- Gears of War

These are the ones that stick out to me that need some sort of 'back to the drawing board' level thing they did with GOW and BOTW.

I'd love a Halo campaign that looked at what made levels like Silent Cartographer and Assault on the Control Room so good and just make a game filled with levels like that.

I'd love a Dead Rising that went back to smaller scale, tense gameplay instead of this constant combo weapon fixation and larger scale.

I have no idea where Gears could go. Maybe go away from the whole COG/dudebro adventure aspect of the series and go for something a bit more visceral and desperate.

What other franchises need to go change direction?

They went to new game developers but overall the last games have been pretty safe.

Unless you consider robot enemies to be a risk I guess.

I don't know about Gears cause I never cared about Gears, but the idea that the only thing that changed in Halo was robot enemies is pretty laughable.

I mean the fanbase has been pretty vocal about their disappointment in the tone and style of the story changing, as well as the artstyle changing.

That's not even getting into the can of worms that adding Spring, Iron Sights and the total focus on Warzone in Online had.

Additional mechanics such as clamber or whatever isn't really what I'm talking about.

Those are all victims of the franchise losing its identity as being a trend setter and becoming a trend follower.

They're still building on that same foundation from CE and adding stuff like ADS and sprint which doesn't really fit the series that well.

Yeah I think they should look at the first game and interpret that in a modern way. That's what BOTW did.

Halo 5's focus in the campaign was all over the place.

Having the right perspective on your enemies is part of the tactics of the game. Your back is vulnerable. Even then you still have warning indicators/warnings from Atreus so you're not completely ambushed out of nowhere.

Animal Crossing badly needs a Breath of the Wild moment, just replace "exploration and adventure" with "a world that actually feels alive" and "dungeons and puzzles" with "dollhouse simulator" in the equation

Halo 4 and 5 both did overhauls in different ways.

Gears 4 not so much, but Judgment did.

From a gameplay perspective, Halo 5 is Halo at its peak. Every weapon has its place and movement never felt better.

The campaign is where the game lets the player down. Halo is a series with an insane amount of lore. The campaign in this game is sort of lazy and just expects you to know 15 plus years worth of novels/comics/shorts/etc without explaining much. Its a shame because the lore is pretty interesting and having it explained a little further in depth through the story would have made for a richer experience.

Another fault was the marketing. It lead the player to believe their would be this epic showdown between the Chief and the series new protagonist.

Fair.

After 4, I honestly was expecting/hoping Chief ended up at odds with ONI and you had to wade through human enemies in a sort of UNSC civil war situation.

Didn't happen, though :(

All of this. While I'm glad that Halo 3 started acknowledging and implementing the lore, the other games should've expanded on it. Like, I was beyond ecstatic to learn that Blue Team was finally making an appearance but most others don't know who Fred, Kelly, and Linda are or why the four of them are so close. 5 really should've done that.
