Players Discuss Game Series Which Are Too Big To Fail
Players have been discussing video Games that are too big to fail, diving into the details about the qualities of a series which make for the most resilience. The conversation remains ongoing, but a couple of conclusions have already been drawn by the community.
Video Game series are known for their ability to evolve and expand with each new iteration, but not all of them are created equal and some in particular seem to have the ability to survive and thrive despite occasional missteps. The news in this particular case comes from a recent thread on Resetera which takes a look at series that have stood the test of time, continuing to be successful despite some average or even poorly received entries.
The most well known series to fall into this category is probably Assassin's Creed. The series has definitely received some negative reviews in the past, but has managed to stay relevant by adapting and evolving with each new release. Assassin's Creed has been able to keep its core Gameplay mechanics intact while also adding new features and exploring new historical settings, at least according to the community.
Another series which has managed to stay successful despite some less than stellar Games is apparently Call of Duty. The producer behind the series, Activision Blizzard, has made a number of missteps including the poorly received Ghosts, but Call of Duty has nonetheless managed to post strong sales figures, thanks in part to its dedicated faNBAse and ability to reinvent itself with each new iteration.
Players have put forward Final Fantasy as yet another series which has been able to stay relevant despite some fairly average entries. Several users on Resetera have pointed out that Final Fantasy has had some relatively mediocre entries in recent years including Final Fantasy 15, explaining how the series on the other hand remains popular due to its memorable characters, unique worlds, and engaging storylines.
While some have stood the test of time, not all series have been able to survive a series of missteps. Despite its enduring popularity, there have been several users who pointed to Mass Effect as an example of a series which floundered, noting a strong start with the first two entries, but a decline in popularity following the controversial ending to Mass Effect 3 and the negative reception to Andromeda.
Players generally consider that having the ability to adapt and evolve with each new iteration within a series represents the key to success in the Games industry. Series which are able to keep their core Gameplay intact while also exploring new ideas and settings are the most likely to stay relevant in the rapidly changing world of video Games, according of course to the community.
