What Is The Most Over Valued Game Franchise Right Now

[StephenArdrey]

I was going to do an article about this but everyone has a different opinion about this. My personal opinion, is COD

[MrDownerup]

I'll agree w/ that..

edit: well,you know..I'd say that about any game with more than one,or two sequels. devil may cry,WarCraft,etc.. only exception being games like quake,and Unreal Tournament.. which are basically the same game updated for the times..

100% COD and games like Battlefield are probably up there with it. BF not as much as COD. With their rediculous fucking COD Elite membership shit it's absolutely the biggest scam and over valued game ever. Although to be fair most big games from EA/Activision are over valued

Call of Duty. Infinity Ward pretty much pumps out exactly the same game year after year and people keep buying it.

I actually quite enjoyed the Call of Duty games up until Modern Warfare 2 when Jason West and Vince Zampella left. Modern Warfare 3 had a stupidly boring campaign, mediocre graphics and was still critically praised...probably out of fear of all the CoD fans burning down Gamespot and IGN.

While Modern Warfare 3 was God awful Treyarch is still developing fun CoD titles. I thought Black Ops was fantastic and Black Ops 2 looks like it'll be quite fun as well.

Sooner or later the CoD franchise will be milked dry and simply fade into the background. If MW3 is a sign of things to come in the CoD franchise it's going to die within a few years.

Interesting thoughts. I have to admit I LOVED Modern Warfare 1, but Black Ops and MW2 did nothing at all for me. Black Ops was fun with George Romero Zombie map but other then that didn't really entertain me. Haven't bothered to pick up MW3. Although I hate to admit it but the Black Ops 2 trailer did look cool

I am surprised to only see one person mention a Capcom title. Really, Capcom hasn't had a new IP since Devil may Cry. WarCraft, has became bloated, I am curious about Diablo 3 and should have some free passes for it soon I will be giving away so that I can have a round table on it.

I would also say Final Fantasy is also over valued

Ohh very true. I completely forgot about Capcom. Those bastards really have only been focused on the same vs Capcom games for too long. Plus the cancellation of Megaman Universe and Megaman Legends 3 really pissed me off. Along with every other megaman fan out there. I don't think I'd say there games are over valued though. Capcom's kinda slowly dying....or so I think. Too many fans hate them currently. Haven't played any recent Final Fantasy games, but I did LOVE FFVI, FFVII and FFX. The only Final Fantasy games I've played but they were phenomenal. Can't wait for FFX for vita. Quit Warcraft when SW:TOR came out. I'll admit I'm definitely interested in Diablo 3 but I'll be getting Max Payne 3 tonight instead. Can never go wrong with a Rockstar game

I would say that Capcom probably over values their franchises. That meaning, they think they can recycle, repackage, and resell the same shit. Resident Evil 6 is going to be one of the truest examples of this.

I'm no Call of Duty fan but I've pretty much enjoyed everything I have played up to and including MW2/Black Ops. Don't bother picking up MW3, play it a friends house or something - it's not worth buying.

I hate how MW3 opened without any type of tutorial. I was trying to teach some completely new to games people how to play, and i was like WTF? I think COD could be a good series if and only if they focused more on being less generic. Black Ops 2 looks intriguing, but I am not rushing to buy it by any means.

What about the lack of dynamic horror series on the three major consoles? Can anyone enlighten me as to why they aren't being produced?
