Series that should be revived, continued, left in the dust, or stopped immediately

It don't need a reboot the shows that came from the DCAU where great they should continue the storys from Justice Leauge. (and the others too but JL & JLU was my fave).

Well everyone has a right to their own opinion. I can not force you to change your mind, but Back to the Future the Game being awesome is a fact! Facts can not be changed unless they changed it and added gross stuff and bad things in it. Which they will not, BTTF The Game is awesome!

LOL to your arguments for facts.

The story may be good, but it's not told in a very good manner. Most of the storytelling comes in the extended cutscenes, and very little through the actual gameplay (this is how I remember it, anyway). This probably wouldn't matter too much if there was actually some decent puzzles and dialogue in between the cutscenes, but all we're provided with is a series of monotonous chores and dialogue trees consisting of boring, dull jokes, blatant hints and crappy expositions. The story may be good at its core, but it's greatly damaged when it's cut in to pieces and locked behind horrible, unrewarding gameplay.

and the player only does the usual "Use object with other object to solve puzzle" scheme.

This is one of the main problems with the game's interface - there's only one frigging action: click once. You either click on items once to interact with them, and once you have them you click them onto another thing in order to finish your chores solve the puzzles. There's no other factor in the puzzle solving. In old, classic adventure games, you had as many as twelve possible interactions with the world around you. Sure, it made some parts of the game slightly grueling and difficult, but it was challenging and it gave the game a certain depth, richness and replayability, all of which 'Back to the Future' lacks greatly. Heck, even in 'Tales of Monkey Island', there was still at least the option of combining items, which provided one other puzzle-solving parameter. 'Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse' also had a one-click interface and no item combining, but it got by with the Toys of Power, which provided at least a tiny bit of a challenge, and also gave the player something fun to play around and experiment with.

What does 'Back to the Future' provide for the player that's fun and will bring them back for more? Nothing. In fact, in 'It's About Time' I'm pretty sure I exhausted about 98% of the game's options, seeing as how I like to explore the world and try random item combinations just to see what response it might bring. Too bad Telltale didn't really have much of an imagination in the production of this game, and just gave standard "I don't think that will work" responses. And even the responses that I did get from Marty weren't particularly exciting or interesting.

If they were to take out Marty's ability to walk, the genre of the game could easily be dummbed down to an interactive movie.

Actually, some of the greatest puzzles I've ever played rely on the player character being unable to walk (or move).

Yes, because this is perfect reasoning. Why don't you go into some of the reasons why arguably one of the worst adventure games ever made is so 'awesome!'?

God, some one give him a shoulder to cry on already and let's move on.

[tredlow]

I still play BTTF. It's not the best, and it might be the worst. But for me, it's bearable enough to play. I still want to know how it ends.

[doodo!]

What did you say shoulder? Now where did that guy go who's always crying about BTTF? I just have to get you two together. You guys would really hit it off , you were made for each other! Where did he go...?

Hey, guys, nobody tell him that Hayden isn't me, okay?

Maybe you have multiple personality disorder.

I just kind of grouped them all together as victims in the river of tears, and of torment.

Nah, they have the right to voice their opinions and be dis-satisfied.

Wednesday might be your lucky day.

I love all the missions you can do in GTA so I'm always up for more of them.

I remember playing and beating Final Fantasy X and XII and was amazed with the stories and the quests. The only other one I've played is III/VI and I like it. Gotta finish it some day...

Make Knights of the Old Republic 3 (no online BS). I loved the first two even though the 2nd one was incomplete.

I seriously think the Simpsons should end. I got bored with the show in the 14th season and it seems like now all they do is recycle plots. I saw the Movie but barely remember it.

So, what's Ubisoft's E3 comment towards the above mentioned "Beyond Good & Evil 2"?

According to some German websites (didn't find this in English), the official statement was that it will "skip the present console generation" (!!), but also that they're at a stage in development that there's "no way back now".

Riiiiiiiight. No game was ever cancelled five+ years before its slated release.

I'd add some comments about Ubisoft now, but I'd have to censor them myself immediately as I'm a moderator.

I've seen the same news in English, I'm afraid, at quite a few reliable sources.

Continue metal covers of pop songs, i love metal...*sighs*

[Vainamoinen]

What about classical covers of Grunge songs?

LOL I missed this post. Thanks for sharing. Sure, continue that too. I love music.

Ouch. I'd be ticked off by Ubisoft because of this if they weren't making Rayman Origins.

Depends on what he's actually doing, though. I mean, if it's a graphical thing, then yes, what a stupid man. The latest generation of consoles are already sufficient to bring pretty much the greatest graphic quality you can have. Also, graphics are not important. However, if he's got a really amazing new concept of gameplay that's so great, he is unable to abandon it despite the fact that it requires some sci-fi hardware specifications that exist only in the imaginations of mad philosophers, then maybe it's wiser to wait for a better console. I mean, I'd rather wait longer for an amazing game rather than getting a quick, unsatisfying game.

Just as long as it doesn't become Beyond Good and Evil Forever.
