final fantasy to me used to be a console seller not anymore
Interesting choice, why would you say this?
The only series that I think actually improved this generation are Mario (3D), Red Dead and Team Fortress.
Batman
OMG! I forgot this game even existed!Turok Evolution to Turok reboot is a great leap. Turok on 360 was a solid 8-8.5. Gets way too much hate here.
Now from n64 to last gen the series definitely went downhill.
Fallout. I'm sure plenty will disagree, but I found Fallout NV to be one of my favourite RPGs.
I'd disagree with most of those.
Soul Calibur
Bingo.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."
Ground Zeroes was just a video, unfortunately. Kojima is good at cooking up a trailer (albeit as overly dramatic and drawn out as they are), but MGS4 has put me off to his games.Why are people listing Metal Gear Solid?
Even if you didn't like Guns of the Patriots (which I very much did), Kojima released the video for Ground Zeroes, which looks absolutely amazing, Peace Walker was amazing, the HD collection is amazing, and by all accounts, Revengeance is going to be amazing. I haven't heard anything but praise from people who've played it. I don't get it.
I want reasons damnit!
If I sound butthur......well It's because I am.
Fallout 2 to Fallout 3
Which of those games do you think is worse than the former?
Indeed. And Devil May Cry.
Damn this generation was horrible, the worst moments of gaming I ever saw.

Final Fantasy just because the plummet between FF12 and 13 is almost unreal
Why are people listing Metal Gear Solid?...
Sonic got pretty goddamn low in the beginning of this gen but he's climbing out of that pit.
I didn't think it was until I came on here and another message board.
Huh?
I like how RE5 took what made RE4 great and improved it and I like how RE6 tries to do its own thing and change up the formula. I call RE4, 5, and 6 the Holy Trinity of the RE series. I didn't like how the series played and handled before then.
Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy has taken such a massive hit in popularity, I don't ever see it recapturing the RPG audience.
Killzone - has gotten better but still not very good
Halo - the first is the best one and has never came back to it
Deus Ex- better than 2, worse than 1
Fallout - only played 3 and NV, can't compare them to the originals
Battlefield - gotten worse, BC2>BF3
Call of Duty - from before and after MW1? Yes. After that it gets murky.
Red Dead - only played RDR
Forza- only played Horizon
GT5 is on par with GT4. Has some flaws, some great things, but in the end, it´s not downhill at all.
I guess many people are confusing this with how long did it take for the game to come out. Releasing in 2010 was the biggest problem, not the game itself.
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.
Yes, your point of view is really singular. If a game is so vastly criticized, probably something of true there is; what exactly has improved RE6? It's completely confuse, the controls are tough to assimilate, the gameplay design not has a precise direction, it's a mix of the best selling product without a clear idea to where to go, I don't call it exactly an improvement, imho. About MGS 4 if the whole game was like the first 2 act, would been a masterpiece, but the 3rd act & the final act are a fucking joke, really unbearable. A pity, because could be so better.
While not every series had this happen,wow, really disheartening to realize how many franchises have gotten worse since the launch of the 360 and ps3.
what do you guys this caused all this? too much focus on graphics? teams too large to manage properly? more importantly, is the next gen destined to follow down the same path of shittyness? what can be done to avoid this fate?
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.
Ratchet and Clank is an odd one for me. I think Crack in Time may be my favorite entry in the series(or at least on par with Up Your Arsenal), but the last two Ratchet spin-offs may be the worst games in the whole franchise.
Mass Effect... I love the universe but nothing holds a candle to the first one in terms of story and characters.
