Sonic the Hedgehog.

Sonic Adventure built the coffin.
Sonic Adventure 2 put the final nail in it.
Sonic Advance 1, Advance 3, Rush and Racing/Transformed were alright tho

Sarges Heroes

Goodbye 3DO

F.E.A.R. and it's expansions were great and F.E.A.R. 2 was ok save the ghost rape and the entire last portion of the game. F.E.A.R. was just shit all around. Sad though, I really liked F.E.A.R.'s story until ghost rape.

Man Diablo 1 was the shit. Still play it from time to time. Also love the intro. Man those were the days when Blizzard tried to set a tone/atmosphere with cutscenes and not pander to 12 year old DBZ fans

Was just listening to the old Duke theme.

Yeah Diablo 1 was amazing, same as 2. Duke was so so good as well, a shame Duke is pretty much dead now after you know what.

On a side note, I've always seen Diablo in that art as a crab. Chinhorns are legs, horns are pincers.

By "working on it" they're continuing to release shitty 3D games that lack the charm and even playability of the isometric titles.

there was no ghost rape, alma was physically present and alive.

Diablo was never good. It was always a shallow time sink for autists.

Diablo III is alive and doing very well. Why would consider Diablo dead?

Diablo 3 is still shit, its Diablo rebooted for the millenial adhd crowd, not an actual Diablo game.

Not a franchise, but it's the biggest lost by FAR videogames ever had:
The Looking Glass Studios "school".
>>
>>319756703
Still dont know why they did that. They could have just made it set in a new universe.

>basically in a different universe.
This would be the best option no mater what happened in the end.
When you have an entire universe to explore it's better to go to entire different places/time then keeping the story in the same place always.

fable 1 was linear britbong shit

I'm not convinced that Fable 2 is good at all but I like it for some reason, art style and mood are pretty nice

but it was fun

>>319756930

Well, I disagree. I think the ME universe had a lot of potential for future games to use, and they wasted it with that ending. There was plenty more they could have done within the pre-existing universe.
>>
>>319756930
They may as well have made a new IP for that matter. If it's a separate galaxy entirely, that probably means no Reapers, which means no Mass Effect Relay, which means the name has literally nothing to do with the ME universe aside from space.
