Those three are very good choices. Virtua Fighter owns I wish it was still popular.

i liked how in virtua fighter everything was all wobbly yet super smooth at the same time, and slow motion and super fast at the same time. This is real. this is my memories

Watched the last two of my baby robin buds leave the nest this morning. First one left last night while a bunny was blocking access to watching the nest, but the last two I sat and watched. One of them couldn't properly fly so I hung with him til he found some good cover. Bluedeanie posted:Lemmings was a franchise and no one on earth gives a poo poo about it anymore.

First three games and the kart racing game got remakes in the last couple years and now a new 4th game is coming out later this year Spyro meanwhile managed to maintain relevance better for a while due to being part of the Skylanders franchise but that died down and it's hard to say how well the remakes of his PS1 trilogy have done for his relevance

Gears of War is so of its time. It's 2006, you're hopped up on Gamer Fuel and epic Marine Corp commercials, you're praying every night for our boys in Iraq to get those WMDs. You're at your boy Pinto's house, sitting on his unsheeted mattress sadly laying on the floor of his filthy room. You just took a rip out of a grav made out of the bottom half of a milk jug and the top half of a Sierra Mist two liter. You look forward at the CRT tv sitting on the ground. Dom just found his wife Maria, dead. You feel his pain, his anguish, his anger.

RIP Might and Magic. VI, VII and VIII were absolutely brilliant but apparently a bunch of people got on them for having a dated graphics engine so they had to update it for IX. IX was a godsawful abomination that killed the company and the series along with it. Ubisoft ate the license and has been failing to do it justice ever since. They released M&M X which was good in a 'you completely don't get what people liked about M&M' way. That was...6 years ago. And the worst thing is no indie dev has done anything even vaguely resembling those 3 games since (or even 2-5). It's all wanking to Wizardry style cramped bullshit dungeon crawls.

Call of Duty from 4 and beyond completely took over Halo's spot in gaming. Halo isn't dead but it's nowhere near where it used to be.

i played the poo poo and hell out of tony hawk 2 on ps1 and then did it for like 50% of that time on dreamcast all over again. then played the third game almost that much. i always liked 3 a lot more than 1, probably because i didn't start with 1

Every few years I have some hope that they'll do a new, decent SSX game and then they expertly crush my hopes again and again. Dangerous Descents was a terrible idea. Just give me a 4k-capable mix of SSX Tricky and SSX 3, and don't turn the multiplayer into more pay to win garbage.

Resistance Fall of Man and/or Killzone As much as I love and always will love Twisted Metal, Jaffe's a prick and I'd be fine if the franchise doesn't come back if it can't without him at the helm

How I met your mother is a show I never watched but I think it would fit the bill of what I was describing but for shows. Everyone I knew watched it but nobody talks about it now. I heard it had a bad ending so I imagine that's why. I'm happy people eventually stopped saying Sopranos had a bad ending because that ending was good actually

ridge racer was semi popular before it became a sad meme that nobody ever wanted to buy again. That's unrelated to me. I'm not that and don't have a monitor

Everybody Loves Raymond Two and a Half Men Becker soon to be The Big Bang Theory That 70s Show We can call this the sitcom effect. The most infamous though will forever be How I Met Your Mother which is the only one remembered strongly in that its used alongside GOT and Dexter in how to kill your own franchise.
