Things you don't want to see in a series EVER again

[TheLastBlade]

What are things you DON'T want to see in a certain series that you hate?

Desmond.... He and his stupid pals can go to hell. Assassin's Creed has always been about thieving and assassination, but the Desmond segments are legitimately JUST THERE. The majority of gamers don't want to see his white ass talking with his nerds.

Toad... voice-acting... Super Mario Sunshine... Nuff said...

3d in a mario game.

3d in a mario game.

Not sure if trolling or serious. Do you mean stereoscopic 3D or 3D as in SM64, Sunshine, Galaxy, ...?

I'll say that I think I'd like the 'New Super Mario Bros.' series much better with 2D sprites.

i mean sprites/side-scrolling/etc. i don't really like, want, or need the open-world, free roaming 3d stuff. so i guess it qualifies as 'serious'.

Princess Elise and a realistic Dr. Eggman and anything else that made Sonic The Hedgehog 2006 a tragedy.

Metroid: The Baby.*, Automated dodging and finishing moves, Melee-type combat with a gun, forced pixel hunts, giving up movement to fire missiles, dull space station settings.

Zelda: Trains, Huge but empty worlds and/or closed linear worlds, Tons of fetch quests and arbitrary puzzles based on ambiguity of affordances and constraints, Annoying companions, Boring cutscenes and tutorials, Super-slow progression, Fights made into puzzles.

Mario: Mandatory but useless collectibles, A lack of cohesive worlds, Fixed 3/4-view camera angles like in 3D Land,
"Wah, WAH" sound effects, Second-class 2D games, Toad's current nails-on-chalkboard voice.

Advance Wars: Gritty, emo storylines (once was enough).

Starfox: Developer refusal to stick with the original gameplay style.

3d in a mario game.

Wow. I'm disappointed in the direction the more recent games have taken, and in general prefer the 2D games, but I wouldn't go as far as to say that. I think it'd be great if Nintendo just put an equivalent amount of resources and effort into the 2D games as the 3D ones.

-Companions in a Zelda game. Also, Wii-remote controlled flying.
-"Enhanced" 3DS/Wii ports.
-The New Super Mario Bros. series in general needs to disappear.

[ModestMr.Green]

Tons of stuff for me:

Zelda: Companions, Boring puzzles, the ALttP, OoT, TP, and SS versions of Hyrule, Story crap, All the freaking talking, Boring combat, the SS 'structure', the OoT 'structure', Boring puzzle dungeons, Extremely lengthy and boring intros and tutorials

2D Mario: Generic worlds, Lack of ambition, Hajime Wakai's music

3D Mario: So freaking much of it, Collect all 120 [insert item here], Fluff (red coin hunts, 'comet' stars, gimmicky stars)

Star Fox: Non-SNES version of Lylat, SF64 music remixes/Hajime Wakai's music, On-foot aections, Solely All-Range Mode stages, Star Wolf everywhere

Metroid: The Baby, Sakamoto having final say, a Dark/clone Samus, Other M 'structure', Boring space station with 'sectors'

Smash Bros: 'Story' mode, only five Break the Targets stages, Fluff (Stickers, Trophies, etc)

Things you don't want to see in a series EVER again

The stupid generic-wannabe-goomba Tiki's from Donkey Kong Country Returns.

KILL THEM WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gtt]

Wiimote plus controlled flying and swimming.

terrible, bad anime styled storylines.

'oh, you've picked this up 800 times before now, hey, why don't I explain this to you again'

This. Oh my God. I could not freaking take that.

[AtomicBean]

Zelda: stylus controls, motion controls, companions, and THIS ^^^^
Smash Bros.: Pointless clones, overpowered Final Smashes
Pokémon: Games that lack a VS. Seeker or equivalent functionality

[WarioT]

The one in Mario Kart 7 isn't so bad I just wish it would not show up on lap 3/3

[Eternal Rain]

Metroid: Constant scanning. Prime 2 and 3 at least made it so that you'd be reminded what you have and have not scanned, but otherwise I hated the constant scanning of things in MP simply because it gets too monotonous, but yet I get OCD and feel like I just have to scan everything. Metroid: Other M managed to get rid of the scanning problem for the most part, but if another Prime ever happens then I really will hate the return of scanning.

Toad... voice-acting... Super Mario Sunshine... Nuff said...

I don't know...I kind of got a kick out of Toad in this game. 'What's this icky, paint-like goop?' is forever etched into my mind.

But the extensive voice acting in general I'll admit I could live without in Mario games.

[Cassidy]

Any game inspired by "I Wanna be the Guy." Even if it's just one portion of a level.

Taken this long?
