WILL PEOPLE ******* SHUT UP ABOUT HOLLYWOOD AND OTHER VARIOUS CORPERATIONS DOING THINGS TO "RUIN" A SERIES!?!?

My god... it's a corperation's job to make money. It doesn't matter if it's what you want or not, just as long as you keep going back to them and they get your cash. It's their job to make money, and if they choose to preserve quality of the few over money making AND pleasing the most (the most being people with low standard intellegence, so says the statics), then they arn't a very good corperation. The Da Vinci Code made a huge sum of money, and people still continue to watch movies, so I see no way as to what the makers did wrong.

Just because they made money doesn't mean they didn't ruin a good thing. Maybe not from their profit standpoint, but from the overall quality and fulfillment one can recieve when purchasing or using their product. If a corporation has made a product which I felt used my time well I will continue to support the corp. But if I pay for their product and it is not as personally fulfilling to myself as their past products, I am fully within my rights as a supporter of their country before and currently to say that they did in fact ruin a product if that is my belief.

If they made a MegaMan 567956, and it sucked, and you think it ruined the series, would you then buy MegaMan 567957, because you did like the other 567955? If your answer is no, then it supports your point. If your answer is yes, it supports mine.

I wouldn't buy the one that I think ruined it, but if a company has 567955 great games and 1 crappy one, I think that the ratio of great to suck justifys another purchase of the 567957th. However, if the 567957th game sucks, and I think plunged it even deeper than 567956th did, of course I wouldn't shell out cash for the 567958th. If you ate 80 bags of skittles and loved them, but bought one and it was horrible, would you never buy Skittles again from that one bad bag, or would you buy another to see if that was just a fluke? If that second was horrible, then you may not buy them again. But in a year or two, you'd probably buy a new bag wondering if they're good again.

No, you're missing the catch. You already bought the one that you think ruined it, and you've already played and beaten it.

You can't honestly think one game ruins a series just by looking at it and not playing it. I mean, DMCry 3 looked the same as the others, but it was quite a bit worse as far as gameplay went.

Typo in there, would not wouldn't, and I think my analogy shows that. If we were dealing in a situation based on my support of a comp. and the borrow option was out I would have no choice but to buy and test. If I buy a game and I think it ruins the series, I'll buy the next one because of my faith in it's former success. However if that sucks as well, then any immediate further games I wouldn't purchase. Down the road maybe I will pick up a newer one after the ones I disliked to see if the company has again made a product I think is worthy of my time, but if it hasn't I will cease to supprt the company.

Here's where it gets to where I want.

Who do you blame? The makers, or all of Capcom? (I think capcom made Megaman... I dunno)

[I Have a Sandwich]

With a game like Capcom, the makers ARE Capcom. MegaMan is not a game developed by a third party developer other than themselves then produced and distributed by Capcom, it is made BY Capcom. The company approves of any action taken by the makers. So yes, I would blame Capcom. As with FF, some say FF

• ruined the series, but do they blame Sony? No, they blame Square, the makers of the series.

[Meiscool-2]

That's true. However, for movies, they blame Hollywood, which pisses me off.

[I Have a Sandwich]

Hollywood is different than games. Its a different method of production. I usually at least know the names of people I hate so I can insult them personally, but meh.

[Archem]

Having fun, you two?

[gamerman4]

Even though I have more hours logged in FF7 than any other game I have.....It is overrated but not NEARLY as bad as Halo....comeon...Halo sucked so hard. I beat the damn thing and STILL couldnt find any way it was better than any of my other FPS games. Hell I had more fun playing Serious Sam 2 and that has no story value whatsoever, then again some people worship Master Chief....I think Gordon Freeman could kill him hehe...sic DOG on him...

As for movies....currently even though Snakes on a Plane was a decent movie it was WAAAAAAY overrated.

[I Have a Sandwich]

SoaP was hyped up, not overrated. Theres a difference.

About the Passion of Christ: MEL GIBSON MAN! MEL GIBSON! STFU AND GTFO NOOB

About Naruto: Hey, I actually like this anime. And I'm a big tv / movie critic.

Another overrated show: Surface. Seriously, it sucked. I've watched all episode so I'm allowed to say it.

Two underrated shows: Invasion and Threshold. RIP you two.

I think we're missing the point. Skittles are always awesome.
