I came to a sad realization the other day while playing Halo 3, as pretty much everybody else was. It was simply that all these series must end, rather they should end. I love all my favourites series such as Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Solid and the like but they all are going to have to end in order to keep us appreciating them for what they were worth. If we continue to draw out these series they will lose their touch that they had from the beginning. A rare exception to these is the Final Fantasy series but that is only because it is not centralized around one character. In my opinion however, the final fantasy series has been headed downhill since about number seven.

To stay on track with my original topic you can easily see that most ideas should be able to fit in about three games in a series. A trilogy is about all we should see, once you pass three games in a series you end up dragging it out way to long and the characters get far too much emphasis. The next thing the players want to do with that character is fight impossible bosses and the like, holding the main character as some sort of god.

Short and Simple.
