What games should die?

I'm going to go out on a limb, here--and probably get the skin flayed from my sorry form, but here goes:

I think EverQuest needs to take a dirt nap. Granted, I have no great love for most MMORPG's, but it's not usually their fault--the multiplayer experience with anyone but your most trusted friends can DEFINITELY turn into a harsh lesson in the darker side of human nature.

EverQuest, though...that's a slightly more particular can of worms.

The graphics are somewhat substandard to some of the things I've seen games capable of (Anyone here play City of Heroes?), and there is PRECIOUS little help for new players. Of course, this may not matter for those who have good friends on hand who are also EQ players--they have them around to serve as a sort of tutorial. I had no such fortune.

Still, if other people like it, then I'll keep my peace. After all, I'm more of a single-player person in the first place (City of Heroes being the ONLY MMO game I've ever played for longer than an hour or two without dropping it--never to return), and so my views might be a bit colored.

I agree totally with Everquest, WoW pwns all! :evil:

Seriously, they took a poll on Gamespy, which game was better, WoW or EQ 2, WoW won.

I'm saying metroid should die because it's one of th best games for Nintendo and I hate Nintendo. Half-Life because they built on a game that in my mind wasn't very good and it became an instant hit, but is getting to much hype. Mario is also need to go come on he's getting really really old.

Oh for the peoples oh are still saying GTA are fun, LONG LIVE GTA, come on a hard day of school and frustraiting on that is like the best game to play in that case, except if you hate a person so much then I reccomend Mortal Kombat Deception to go "this is so and so".

I don't see why any games should die. If I don't like a game I just don't buy it, but I wouldn't want them to stop making game that I don't enjoy, especially popular ones, because I'm sure that some people do enjoy them.

Meh, I'm no fun.

Tetris should have been resigned to the lowest depths of hell long ago. I know its no longer in production, but thats not good enough. Every copy should be located, ground into dust, placed into a rocket ship and fired into the heart of the sun.

I once saw it advertised for sale in an old edition of Total Magasine ( circa 1990 or so ) for £1. The ad cost £1 to place. Its fools like this who kept the damn thing in circulation.

All those $20 Red Alert clones that sprung up after the first one need to be burnt.

Megaman(Don't Kill Me!)

When it first came out it was a smash, but since X3 and 4, its been going dooooowwn...... Not to mention the new Zero games have been a bit off.

I totally agree, they should just go away.

OMG how could you! How can you say that about tetris

. That's a really good game, I like it and all it's different variations of it :cry:

You obviously do not have good taste, tetris is a classic like the first mario bro

. I remember tetris being the only game everyone had on their TI-83 calculator at school when I was highschool, great way to pass class time. Unbelievable, I've known you for like 3 years and I had no clue about how you loathe tetris, this is a total shock and I'm dissapointed.

OK, I am not going to say I hate you, but I am thinking REALLLLLLLYYYYYY hard. I could NOT live without Megaman. I mean I could not function. I would just die. And the Zero series is AWESOME. It's the classic style(AKA The best style) megaman.

IF MEGAMAN EVER DIED, I WOULD DIE!

And Jim, Tetris rocks. I still have an original Gameboy and tetris. Tetris is better than neopets and PPT combined!

Games (or people) that should die:
Lara Croft
Rare (they've been sucking lately)
The ad agency at Nintendo ( Who am I? Angry! That's who!)
EA capitalists and monopilizers
GTA: What can they do next?
Crash Bandicoot (the pinacle of has-been)
Yu-gi-oh! Games on GBA. God, they are honestly defective

Not really.

Star Fox is sorta similar to Crash Bandicoot in a 'has-been'...and you're rather fond of Star Fox, I believe.

I like both games, so whatever.

I believe she did die in one of her games, so I guess you can rejoice at that.
