I actually agree with most of what was said, minus the "should just die", and agree with Mariley on that point.
I only disagree with Kingdom Hearts. I honestly only played the first game and a bit of the second, but the synthesis is brilliant and bridges the gap for many up and coming gamers, championing disney on their unaware parents. Just awesome.
Now that I thinkj about it...I'm surprised I didn't see Pokemon on that list. Y'all complain about CoD never changing, just look at Pokemon. All of the PKMN should've been DLC for Gen 1.
Final Fantasy does NOT need to die. It just needs to get good again.
BBS is a main game though. It's KH0. It's where everything began; Birth by Sleep. I'm pretty sure without BBS nothing in KH3 will make sense. Days, Coded and DDD are useless though, except for Sora and Riku's Mark of Mastery Exam, the results of which are pretty obvious with this: light turns to darkness, darkness turns to light. ^^The first and second KH games are awesome. Even Chain of Memories was pretty good. Play 358/2 Days, Birth By Sleep, or Coded and you'll see why the series is on that list.
Resident Evil will not continue to decline just because the creator left the series. RE4 was a hit and spawned all the good games you see today for the most part. RE5 wasn't too shabby. RE6 is shaping up to be a hit as well.The creator left the series. In my opinion, once the creator has left a series the franchise the series need to die. What's the point of keeping a franchise around when when it will only decline and continue to decline? Granted there are exceptions (Silent Hill came finally came back with Downpour), but I don't think the FF series will be one of them. Try The Last Story, it's the FF creator's new project.

This rule applies to many other series. Just because the creator left doesn't mean the series has to die. I see no logic in that train of thought, like at all.
For the record Shinji Maki, the creator of the RE series, was the writer and director for RE4. I do see your point though, but I still think that a series suffers when the creator leaves and MOST of the time the series is better off dead. Usually the creator leaves once they feel the series has reached its peak or has reached their vision. Once a new director or writer comes in I think that a series loses the feel to it that fans have come to love. If that's the case then why even continue? Why not create a new series rather than bring down the name of a great series?
7. Call of Duty - The video said it all. The game hasn't changed and the fanboys are as annoying as ever.
