Sequel on top of sequel, remakes and re-imaginings plentiful, the original, shining IP covered by a thick layer of bad mechanics, tired stories and unlikable characters.
A prime and obvious culprit would be Sonic. The first few games were incredible fun but then somehow SEGA got derailed into thinking we wanted to connect with the characters and Sonic needed more "friends". Sure, down the long line of sequels and remakes that Sonic has it managed to pull-off one or two great games but, what if it would've just stopped at a high point instead of the low bar it keeps tripping on every time now? Would we have demanded more of our lovable blue rodent or just admired it as a long lasting classic?
What I ask is, when is it time to let a franchise die?
