Enough Already: 6 Video Games Franchises That Need To End

I can completely understand that people who are diehard fans of certain video game franchises will be pissed off by this article. Please remember, though, it is an opinion piece (like most articles you'll find on the web), so rather than find out where I live and try to kill me for insulting one of your favorite franchises, why not just take to the comments after having read the entire piece and rationally tell me why you disagree with my theory about that particular franchise? Just a thought.

Again, it’s so weird to talk shit about such a good series that has helped re-define console gaming, but this needs to be said. And while it could be argued that most of the Halo games are pretty damn good (and a few are phenomenal), they are just cashing in now.

To release a sixty dollar game that has a five hour fucking campaign is a surefire way to hurt your fanbase financially. Five hours is DLC content, I don’t care how cool anyone tries to package it. So to see the constant repackaging of Halo to trick rabid fanboys into forking over serious cash for what is essentially DLC seems a little shitty to me. Way to thank your supporters.

Hell, even the same rabid fanboys still haven’t figured out they were duped by Destiny. They thought they were getting Borderlands meets Halo meets Mass Effect. What they got instead was nothing they haven’t played before.
