Pokemon
Mysterious Dungeon 2 and Pokemon Ranger 2 are probably the best spin-offs Pokemon has ever had. Real talk.
Personally, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Resident Evil 5 and 6 are quite literally some of the best works of art in the series. A high point in these storied franchises for sure.

But Ranger 3 sucked, and Mysterious Dungeon 3DS doesn't sound so hot (that 144 roster!)

In terms of gameplay?
The entire FPS genre. Seriously, where's my Halo 1/2? Where's my Turok 2: Seeds of Evil? Where's my Unreal Championship on OG Live?
MGS 4 work of art?
I...need to go lay down.
MGS4 was a Metal Gear fans dream.
I'm guessing you didn't play MGS1 or even 2 back in the day, but the nostalgia that MGS4 purposely invoked was insane.
It was a love letter to fans. Nano machines be damned.

Bolded all the series that started this generation... They didn't exist during the PS2/GCN/x-box generation and thus couldn't have gotten worse since the last one![]()
Zelda
Nostalgia is really all it had going for it, though. The series (and its fans) deserved so much more than that after the previous games. But I guess the fan service alone was enough for some.MGS4 was a Metal Gear fans dream.

I do not find this amusing.

that's certainly a unique viewpoint
It's hard stay serious now.
Too obvious

. Most people who enjoyed MG 1,2 and MGS 1-3 should dislike MGS4 because it's simply not as good a game as any of them. ."
Resident Evil, Tales of, Star Ocean, Final Fantasy
It used incredible amounts on nostalgia to try and cover up the major gameplay flaws in ever chapter past 2 and the terrible story.
And failed.
And your accusation that someone who didn't like MGS4 must not have played MGS1 or 2 back in the day is absurd, if anything I feel the opposite. Most people who enjoyed MG 1,2 and MGS 1-3 should dislike MGS4 because it's simply not as good a game as any of them. The whole time I was playing MGS4 every time a nostalgic point happened like the bike chase or Shadow Moses I was just thinking "Wow, I wish I was playing those games instead of this."
Indeed they did.Bioware took a nosedive this generation.
Handheld Zelda has gone downhill.This has been the worst gen for Zelda ever. Even TP was better on the Gamecube.
I literally cannot think of a franchise that got better this gen.
I've played them all. Nostalgia isn't a good enough reason to say a game is good when the story is a mess and the gameplay falls apart after Act 2. Yeah it was cool going back to shadow moses, it was not cool fighting nothing but robots.
Well I haven't played AC3 and DA2, but yes I would defend ME3 all day long... GoTY if not for H4.
But that's not what I was referring to. This is about franchises from last gen that got worse going into this gen. Like splinter cell.
ME, DA and AC are all franchises that did not exist last gen.

While this is an opinion thread, taking a dump on MGS4 will be unpopular and rightly challenged. After all, the game won GAF goty and I believe GAF gotg awhile ago as well. I loved the game to pieces btw. Replayed it to the end twice, and my favorite acts dozens of times. The first playthrough of MGS4 was one of the most epic game experiences I've ever had with all the fan service moments. MGO was fun for a few weeks too. To each their own.
Killzone
Halo
Turok

Fallout
Battlefield
Call of Duty
Red Dead

Far Cry (debatable)
I think it would have been easier to make a "what franchises have improved over last generation" thread
Way off here buddy... You might be tired of the style, but Call of Duty was the GTA of this generation, the undisputed sucess.
