It hasn’t lived up to the beginning of the season, but c’mon…name a show other than Arrested Development that has a 100% amazing season. This season provided us with Remedial Chaos Theory, an episode that may have been teh best written episode of all of 2011 television. They can have a few misses in my book. Also, the last one and the documentary one were both very acceptable episodes.
But Genkai didn’t do anything in Chapter Black though. After Chapter Black YYH was done. I never watched that last saga again but the Dark Tournament and Chapter Black will always be the best parts of the series to me.
Yusuke should have taken down Sensui himself. YYH should have ended there.
Eric was there for 7 of the 8 seasons, and all the good people from The Simpsons were around until like the 9th or 10th season. Those are hardly quick, although the quality shift was extremely noticeable.
-The Dune series took a very sudden hit when Frank Herbert passed away and his son took over. I haven’t liked a single one as much as the “original series” books by his dad.
-G1 Transformers really fell apart when the Movie hit. The movie is fun 80’s junk, but killing off all the good characters and changing animation studios was a horrible idea. At least in the way they handled it. Sad thing is that the movie really planted the seeds for a ton of future TF story lines. The show was already pretty crappy, but it got even worse from season 3 onward. Lets just ignore The Headmasters “season 4” and pretend it never existed.
Rare’s downfall isn’t quick considering their 30 year history, and the shark jumping starting around when Kameo came out (or arguably, after Solar Jetman came out).
on topic,
Final Fantasy Tactics. It went from the best rpg I ever played to some dumbed down kiddy shit with kids fighting REGULATED BATTLES for god knows what. God, fuck square for ruining that series
Voyager didn’t interest me until Seven of Nine joined the crew in season 4.The enemies STUNK until the borg bailed them out. Then the show became HORRIBLE in season 7 with the most random and forced romance until Enterprise season 3 came along
Seven of Nine couldn’t save Voyager for me. And I’m a big ol titty freak, so that should say something. Janeway: annoying. Torres: Bitchy latina. Kess: fucking confusing and annoying. Seven was interesting…then she started acting human. Enterprise was fail.
actually, the series fell off when the design of the game shifted to rewarding the players for doing un-improvised lines. abilities like wallplant, natas spin, acid dropping, getting off the board, reward the players for doing silly shit; as opposed to doing the old fashioned way of hitting multiple lines while timing specials, all on your board.
I couldn’t agree more. SF4 and SSF4 were great, even with Ultras being a nuisance. Then MVC3 went full retard. Then they released UMVC3 months after MVC3. Then they were pimping Arcade Edition for SSF4. And on and on. Now I don’t even look in Capcom’s direction.
It’s gotten to the point where MORTAL KOMBAT 9 is actually my favorite fighting game of the past few years. Just a year and a half ago, you could have convinced me Mortal Kombat was responsible for slavery. That’s how bad I hated it. Now I play MK9’s (admittedly shitty, but tolerable) online for hours at a time.
