ITT the devil allows you to choose one gaming franchise to catastrophically fail in their next entry. And I mean fail in the most horrendous way, to the point that even normies are meming about it, and news anchors and even the President are making jokes about it.
I'll start with my choice: Pokemon
Mario
god of war, it should've ended with the trilogy & now it's a onions simulator
Rance
What the fuck is wrong with you?
It'd be funny
My secondary choice is: Zelda and Smash. Totk is mediocre and Smash is too compared to its former glory with Brawl and Melee and Project M. Nintendo needs to be taught a fucking lesson and get humbled fucking hard
Pokemon for sure
too late
Fire Emblem
Fire Emblem in itself is ok, but it's community kinda makes me wish this series died already.
>two male characters interact
>"OMG they're so gay, just like me!!! frfr"
>character says "ah"
>"OMG they're coming out as transsexual! just like me!!! So powerful!!!"
team fortress
But OP said that there had to be another entry
>valve decides to start making games again
>they release Team Fortress 3
>they pull the plug on TF2 at the same time
>Team Fortress 3 is irredemable hatless trash
there ya go
Zelda is objectively the funniest choice I don’t even hate the series
Assassin's Creed
Oh wait, that already happened. Then I guess Far Cry. Oh wait. Then I guess uhhhhhh Call of Duty. Oh wait. Diablo? No... Last of Us? Uh.
Zelda
Any and all capeshit games. Spider Man 3 would be hilarious if it was a Miles game.
Gta6
Lord of the Rings: Gollum 2: Return to the Breeding Halls
Still coping about KINOllum huh? People will beg for ports of it in 20 years while your shitty zelda bing bing wahoo will be forgotten. Then someone will copy Gollum's idea with Mario and everyone will say it's genius.
Zelda would be the funniest choice I think.
Horizon Zero Dawn, Spiderman, TLOU, God of war
Sonic.
Sonic already gets fucked every other game, retard. Stop wasting the devil's power
The Devil stopped taking my calls.
Every Western AAA game. The world needs to realize we don't want naggers and trannies. We want good games with sexy characters, based plots, and good music.
id love nintendo to fail, but the thing is they already do
wiiu fails and gets engineered into the switch
what if I told you naggers and trannies were how we get gaming back on track?
I had a realization a few days ago watching a burning rangers playthrough that I miss sonic team games; I miss careening around a central point at high speed.
*-Souls and everything attached to it.
Simply because the intense palpable asshurt would be delicious.
Half-Life
Yeah Pokemon by far. They need a wake up call
Even a completely disastrous Pokémon would sell billions though
chad gollum enjoyer
im gonna be real for a sec and just say its actually going to happen to elder scrolls 6
Coof
Any upcoming woke slop game.
Hmmm. I'm torn between Madden and Call of Duty.
OP doesn't understand that all publicity is good publicity. Hell, devs are already taking advantage of the "redemption arc" eg. No Man's Sky, CP2077.
>the "redemption arc" eg. No Man's Sky, CP2077
Does anyone actually fall for this shit
I mean everyone seems to think CP2077's core design problems and failed promises were magically fixed with DLC.
forever games are here and it's so goddamn tiring.
sixty really loud people with sunk cost fallacy think that, anon. Everyone else just decided to ignore the whole franchise until someone else gets their hands on it.
it sure feels like the normie consensus now is that it's all better, I guess that's the power of RTX
>Hell, devs are already taking advantage of the "redemption arc" eg. No Man's Sky, CP2077.
remember when people tried to push that meme with fallout 76?
its gonna happen with starfield and probably gta6
Fallout 76 has a small but steady playerbase.
NMS devs shut the fuck up and added content. They did not attempt to sow sympathy, they didn't blame the players for being entitled. Sean served up a bullshit sandwich, got kicked out of the kitchen, and the chefs did their absolute best to drown out the taste of shit with whatever they possibly could.
CP2077 wouldn't stop fucking blogposting the entire time, they STILL brag about milking the IP in a half dozen different ways
elder scrolls, or just toddgames in general. i just want him on the electric chair
That would be an awesome act of God. The devil would simply want things to continue to go on as they currently are.
Assassins Creed. The nagger protag must be punished.
Resident evil, I'm tired of seeing it and seeing people talk about it
Zelda would be the funniest. It's definitely the most overrated series out there, so many mediocre games like Skyward Sword but they all get 10/10 reviews
Elder Scrolls 6 or GTA6 would also be great choices. They've been worked on for decades, have large amounts of hype, and it would kill Bethesda/Rockstar if they were terrible
bethesda deserves it for showing the whole industry that you dont even have to finish a game on release anymore even if its straight up unplayable due to the bugs
>bethesda deserves it for showing the whole industry that you dont even have to finish a game on release anymore
And that you don't even need to finish it at all.
bethesda is a cosmic sense is doing what nintendo does with its properties: releasing the same game with different skins.
every zelda is basically the same. the only one that is a different game is majoras mask, its got an entirely different hook. but zelda and mario is same old idea, new coat of paint. look how shiny mario is this time. hey, link can connect this thing to that thing. remember every spiderman? remember every just cause? remember garrys mod from years and years ago?
10 out of 10
posts like this dont make sense to me.
zelda has tons of basic games that get 10 out of 10. they change the art style and somehow the same gameplay means it's a genre defining triumph.
but rockstar has given so many actual games that have defined their genres. and when they could afford to sit on their ass and do nothing, they redefine again. and again.
why on earth would you want rockstar to fail of all companies? their track record is incredible.
I don't like GTA and it would be funny to see something that had a multibillion dollar development cost flop
It's not even a discussion, Pokemon. And the devil's power still won't be enough to harm it.
I want call of duty to fuck up that bad. It would kill Sony and Microsoft for different but funny reasons
give it three more entries and the storage space it requires will outstrip available storage mediums.
i choose gaming as a whole
no exceptions
Silent hi- oh wait
Reminder that Silent Hill: The Short Message will have literal trigger warnings between cutscenes.

Well more like PSAs than actual trigger warnings, but close enough
Souls like games
Matthew 4:10
Any of the mobile trash found on /vg/
Street Fighter. Bury the FGC with it.
But I don't want any gaming franchise to fail.
GTA6
Pokemon
any Mihoyo game
Devil May Cry
Zelda
any Fromsoft game
I'll chime in with Zelda too, but if not anything else then just to see how bad it'd have to be for even fanboys to trash it. Pokemon games have been shit for decades at this point, I honestly have no idea how they could fuck it up any worse and actually have it affect sales
