Whatever you chose would sell unprofitable numbers with every entry until the developer would be forced to abandon the series and make something new.

I would pick Death Stranding.

>>716389029 (OP)
I would pick Final Fantasy, but that might be a waste of a wish as it seems to be going down the shitter on its own just fine.

call of duty

Pokémon.

>>716389029 (OP)
Why the hate for death stranding? The dude already has two different games in development.

>>716389029 (OP)
Battlefield. That shitshow should have been dead a long time ago.
>>716389054
This too though.

>>716389175

Death Stranding could easily have been kino, but instead it's just Kojima-celebrity-wank-hour with do-nothing gameplay and the same pseudo deep intellectualism """auteur""" shit as always.

>>716389029 (OP)
Tekken

>>716389174

This. There hasn't been a good pokemon game in decades (plural).

>>716389174
Came in here to post this.
I don't hate Pokemon, but the series has run its course and lives purely off of merchandise/TCG now. The games are an afterthought and they're not getting any better. Even the designs have been pretty mediocre since Gen 7.

>>716389029 (OP)
I would end every series todd howard has tainted. These games aren't good at release, they are practically just user-made games when they are finally in their playable state.

>>716389269
Okay. Theyre not offensively bad enough for me to want to wipe them off the face of the earth though. Never cared about them and it seems like the only attention they ever really got from the wider gaming community was the crazy trailers leading up to 1's release. I also kind of doubt he's going to make deliveryman simulator 3 anyway, surely the gimmick has run its course already.

>>716389029 (OP)
Demon's Souls
The Souls series is a parody of a parody of itself with absolutely no future beyond turning into guitar-hero with one button. Bloodborne and Sekiro were promising, but it's really just time to move on.

>>716389029 (OP)
you just wasted your wish
>“I, of course, don’t have any plans to do that, but I already have a concept for another sequel. I am not going to make it myself, but if I passed it on to someone else, they could probably make it.”
this is an interesting question though since even if I don't personally like a game it is not like stopping it from being made would necessarily be a net positive considering they would probably bring that same attitude and habits to their next series. I guess anything related to mario.

>>716389624
You don't seem to understand that the games are the symptom not the disease. even if Bethesda never makes an elder scrolls or fallout again then they are just going to make what is essentially the same thing under a different name with the same problems. ie Starfield

>>716389029 (OP)
Pokemon. There are many series I wouldn't mind killing out of a degree of spite, but I'd rather do something constructive with my wish. The dead old tree must be felled for new seedlings to grow.

>>716389683
fromsoft doesn't consider demon's souls the same ip as anything else they make so unless they literally make Demon's Souls 2 what you said was just useless.

>>716389683
At least it inspired a bunch of much better indies. Ender Lilies/Magnolia are peak metroidsouls

>>716389054
Kek this

>>716389269
Kojimbo was always a american b-movie westaboo, letting him have a ludicrously high budget was already recipe to nuclear grade retardkino, owning the whole studio goes double

Civ

>>716389029 (OP)
2 games isn't a franchise and kojimbo has moved on to od and physint. after that it's a movie and retirement.

>>716390039
Kinda a weird comment.
I don't give a shit what they consider to be in the same franchise, because the hypothetical wasn't posed to them. It was an open question and I answered it. Obviously I think that there's a long continuity between Demon's Souls and Elden Ring, and it should be evident that I'm speaking to that format of game that they do.

>>716391416
Jimbo is never getting a movie. I know that's what he wants but Hollywood thinks he's a joke, and he is.

>>716391416
>>716392424

I always kinda tought Kojima would be better as a shot planner or a chief of photography or something similar. He's got a good sense of visuals but can't write to save his life.

>>716391534
the question was about specific series

>>716389029 (OP)
Basically every Nintendo IP at this point, but mainly Zelda.

>>716389029 (OP)
>make something new.
would say any Blizzard game, but then again the nu-developers suck at making games

>>716392948
I agree. Even if they did make something new, would it really be better?

>>716389054
Is it going down the shitter because normies believe you have to play the 15 previous titles to understand the story of 16? I'm genuinely stumped by the middling performance of 16 and Rebirth.

>>716393932
Nah it's fallen a lot in quality over the years. The last good one was over a decade ago, and beyond 2-3 brown shills on this board, 90% of the former playerbase have nothing but bad opinions about the newer games.
They're kinda just not good.

>>716393932
SE have been making a lot of shit with their mainline franchise the past few console gens
It arguably hasn't been anywhere approaching good since the PS2 and some would say the PS1

>>716389029 (OP)
>can end any franchise
>pick something with 2 entries
Retard.

>>716389029 (OP)
Zelda

>>716392424
Well they have shit taste in games. That said, I really don't see how a Balatro movie would work anyways.

>>716394267
16 is a fantastic game. It's just not much of a role-playing game is all. It debuted strong, supposedly selling 3mil in its first week, but has only managed to sell 500k additional copies since then, even when you factor in the later PC and Xbox releases. I guess the inevitable Switch 2 port could buoy its sales metrics, considering it's the fastest selling console of all time, but launched with an admittedly underwhelming slate of games. If Square can release it before the holidays, they may have a hit on their hands.

>>716389029 (OP)
I should do the opposite and end every game franchise that isn't death stranding.

>>716389174
This, just let it die already. Bonus is that it fucks over Nintendo a bit considering how much of a cash cow it is for them.

>>716395056
>16 is a fantastic game
The bright side is that you declared you retardation early so that no one had to read the rest of your post.

>>716395185
Greagor have mercy on your blighted soul.

Mario
Nintendo needs to come up wit some new IP ffs

>>716389029 (OP)

>>716396956
>inb4 Buper Dario
>Luigi is still playing second fiddle

Final Faggotry or Metroid.

None because I'm not a perpetually assmad tourist faggot that is mad I missed out 30 years of gaming because of WoW addiction

>>716389905
Starfield had newer and far worse problems than the rest of the Bethesda games. If it only had the same problems it would be a decent game.

>>716398842
>having slop addiction is somehow better
At least MMO addicts are experiencing once-in-a-lifetime friendmaking journeys with other people while you die alone playing bing bong wahoo.

>>716396956
everyone needs to come with new IPs
problem is new IPs always sell less than stablished franchises
every fucking IP older than 5 years have been ruined and only share the name with the original at this point
its even worse for franchises like mario, zelda, resident evil , street fighter, final fantasy or whatever else you can think

>>716389029 (OP)
This scene was so awkward and weird

>>716401515
Stellar Blade (3m), Expedition 33 (3.3m), Schedule 1 (5m), Metaphor (2m), Lies of P (3m).
New IPs are doing fine.
Hell even existing IP is doing fine as long as it doesn't fuck its former fanbase in the ass.

>>716401735
i didn't say they aren't doing fine, just that GENERALLY, they sell less than stablished franchises
>Hell even existing IP is doing fine as long as it doesn't fuck its former fanbase in the ass.
they always do that anon

>>716401947
>they always do that anon
I don't know the people who liked Baldur's Gate seemed to enjoy BG3, including getting fucked in the ass, but that's kinda not the point.

>>716389029 (OP)
undertale
if video games were a school lunch table, undertale would be the smelly tranny kid who has a rumor floating around that he fucked his dog

>>716401947
It's not "always" just "most of the time".

>>716389174
They aren't even trying anymore, just end it.

>>716402138
well i guess games like fifa and madden dont have that problem, i honestly dont know a single franchise that wasn't ruined

>>716402436
It depends on how niche you get I think. Like, The Caligula Effect 2 was a direct improvement upon The Caligula Effect, but they're both games no one's ever heard of. My point is that there are probably plenty of exceptions, it's just AAA games that tend to really lube up its former audience for some insane reason no one really understands.

>>716402086
Undertale is not a franchise or a series unless you count fangames.

>>716389120
this, I'm still guilty of playing it every other year and I'm always disappointed. it's sucking up all the oxygen from a genre that could be way comfier with smaller games that actually have server browsing and active voice and chat. the game feels so dead now, SBMM and getting booted from lobbies after every game has completely ruined the soul of old cod mp

>>716401515
Sony could actually hold onto their IPs a little longer, other than Ratchet they're lucky if they survive 2 gens.

>>716389269
People that call him pseudo-intellectual put themselves as the actual retard here, nothing about his games is asking you to take them that seriously anyone with a brain can tell they are just silly homages

>>716402837
>merely pretending

>>716395009
Just have it be an underground gambling ring and they play wacky Balatro. Throw in that the loser dies for more tension.

>>716401515
>problem is new IPs always sell less than stablished franchises
I feel that this is slowly turning around. Making another game in a franchise tends to be riskier now because your existing fans have standards and want more of the good stuff while being impressed.
The exception to this is of course sportsfaggotry and anything by/for Nintendo, which are audiences who don't have standards.

>>716392886
>>716394781
I'd be fine with Zelda dying if a new series that's made up of OoT clones with comparable quality would take its place.
>>716393932
Rebirth did poorly because people were burned on remake because of the changes to the story and didn't want to come back for more Nomura retardation.

>>716403173
>audiences who don't have standards.
i wouldn'say nintendo doesn't have standards
just that their games are generally fun and people is fine with the franchises changing a lot
helps mario/zelda (correct me if i'm wrong i havent played a zelda since TP and mario since galaxy)
story is pretty much "save the princess" without 5000 cutscenes and lore bullshit that changes every game

>>716403391
>"lore bullshit that changes every game"
That's most definitely Zelda and arguably Mario too what with Bananza

>>716403391
I guess it depends on what you're okay with. If all you're looking for is "different every time" then yeah, Nintendo has you on lock, but if you want "different and better every time" then I would not argue Nintendo is living up.

>>716395113
Don't Zelda, animal crossing, mario and even smash outsell pokemon now?

>>716403774
What. No. The latest slop Pokémon Scarlet and Violet sold 27m.

>>716403557
was that always the case? honest question
i never gave a fuck enough but i guess the obsession with that started when retards wanted a timeline for zelda

>>716396956
>this shit argument again
i guess making the exact fucking game but with another name counts as a new IP. But making completely a different game with the same characters is not.

>>716401394
insane cope

>>716404579
Astro Bot was basically Mario and it won GOTY because it wasn't the same fat plumber jumping on the same turtles fighting the same giant turtle for the 100th time
it's been FORTY FUCKING YEARS, the games are fine but the IP is stale as fuck

>>716389624
Godd Howard mindbroke you

>>716389120
I like this answer. Killing off an IP like pokemon doesn't leave much place for alternatives. It would be cool to see how it would develop but I know 80% of the playerbase would just flock to fortnite which is even worse.
