Eradicate one video game franchise from history

[lobdale]

You have been granted the grave power to use the history eraser on a single video game franchise/series, and mutate the future based on the void that its absence creates throughout history.

What do you pick, why, and what is the outcome?

I'd eradicate Kingdom Hearts and the outcome would be that Nomura would still be adding belts to video game characters in games that came out on time.

I mean, why? If there are people who enjoy those franchises, let them have them lol

 

[Ardiloso]

I'd gladly eradicate Uncharted so Eidos wouldn't feel the need to copy it on the modern Tomb Raider games.

 

[sambills]

kingdom hearts

 

[angel]

All mobas.

 

[ClickyCal']

This thread will go great.

 

[hibikase]

Spacewar, so that all video games dissapear as a result.

But seriously, this thread is a bad idea, it's just going to become a hate circlejerk.

 

[super-famicom]

ITT, people post games/series they dislike.

 

[Qwark]

I would eliminate Valkyria Chronicles if it meant Shining Force was still relevant... and good. But that's not possible so I'll gladly take all the VC I can get.

 

[Max|Payne]

Obligatory Call of Duty reply.

In reality I'd eradicate this thread concept from history.

 

[MattWilsonCSS]

Xenosaga. Obliterate it.

 

[bane833]

FIFA because i hope this would have killed EA before they became the monster that they are now.

Shining Force was dead for like, decades tho, why would the two have anything to do with each other?

I guess I'd erase Assassin's Creed, which I don't even hate. I just think it would be damn interesting to see where Ubisoft would pivot instead, would change the entire industry.

 

[pixelpatron]

We can ALL agree that Mighty No 9 never existed and that the void that was left behind capcom actually did something with Mega Man.

(Oh wait this already happened).

 

[Cranston]

Wow.

Solely as I'd have managed a better degree (of course, I'd have dicked around on other games, but perhaps not to the same extent).

 

[Hexa]

Mario for maximum impact

They're both Sega strategy titles, it was either that or Skies of Arcadia and I feel like Shining Force has more in common with VC.

Superman 64.

 

[hotcyder]

Final Fantasy

This is almost word-for-word what I was going to say.

You're no fun and as such I eradicate Persona. Jojo is better anyway.

 

[Strangelove_77]

Twin Snakes. Just Twin Snakes.

 

[Zacmortar]

Skylanders so Spyro can come back

Do I still get Makoto in this deal?

 

[Max|Payne]

I've already said this before, but the concept of these kinds of threads are faulty.

Just because one franchise you hate wouldn't exist, doesn't mean another worse one wouldn't take its place.

It's like that Hitler thing. Killing him before his rise to power wouldn't guarantee that another evil dictator wouldn't rise to power and fuck things up big time as well.

 

[Transistor]

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

So we can get a real sequel to Tactics

 

[Horror]

Madden

*to free up the NFL license.

Don't erase Uncharted because of Eidos is creatively bankrupt with Tomb Raider. Ask more of your developer, also there's nothing to suggest that they wouldn't arrive at the same destination. Eliminate War Frame and revive Dark Sector. I actually really enjoyed that, much more than War Frame. It felt like a much tighter experience. It's funny that the remains of Dark Sector was the foundation of War Frame.

 

[Zukuu]

Elder Scrolls, as much as I'd miss it, but having more Fallouts in return is never wrong. :D

 

[Deleted member 35777]

Diablo Series.

It would be interesting to see how RPG's would have been impacted if it didn't exist.

 

[The Unsent]

Halo, see what happens to the XBOX.

Only joking, probably nothing.

 

[Jobbs]

Half-Life. It did a lot of damage to gaming

I liked her eyes and her persona wasnt a sexualized balloon tits creature so yeah, sure.

 

[Hayama Akito]

Lair

Factor 5 had an absolutely awesome catalog. One game, JUST ONE FUCKING GAME, and they died.

I know they back now, but come on.

 

[ZhugeEX]

Why would you do this?
