Yay, I guess? I dunno. If the whole Fire Emblem Fates trilogy was maybe $60 I'd go for it, but $80 *NOT* including the bits of paid DLC is absurd and I don't get why people would want to encourage that kind of pricing scheme. I mean, c'mon, it can't be so good that it cures the common cold or something, right?
As for FExSMT, yay for it being acclaimed I guess, but I'm wondering who Nintendo thought the target audience was supposed to be.

Well, I think we had this discussion before, but you don't have to buy the entire trilogy. Most people I know who have FE:F only bought one version, or bought Conquest and Birthright (in order to be able to pick which side they'd prefer). If they still want to play some FE after that and they don't feel replaying FE:F:C or FE:F:B will suffice, they can get the third story. I haven't played it myself yet (I can't, because it's not even out in Europe), but from what I've heard, the games are different enough to justify it being sold seperately.
And I guess the target audience for SMTxFE is FE fans, SMT fans and fans of JRPGs?

I've ordered the collector's edition myself, which comes with all 3, tho I've been a fan of fire Emblem since I 1st came across the 1st gameboy advance game back in the day. I was disappointed that it was a "pokemon style" release, but I would be getting all of them anyway. Fanboy and all And the series is pretty much the only reason I buy Nintendo consoles. That aid, the cross over isn't enough to entice me to buy a WiiU, as it basically seems to be a megaten game, but with a corrupted cameo of a few Fire Emblem characters (off the top of my head the only one I recognized was Chrom)

The target for TMS#FE is petty much people that want Persona on the Weyou. It seems nothing like Shin Megami Tensei and nothing like Fire Emblem, but looks all like a reskinned Persona 4 with the weeaboo cranked up to eleven.
---
How I Met Your Mother and its grandpa Friends both should have been around half as many seasons as they lasted. They got so old and tired about half way through their run.
American Horror Story would have been better stopped after Season 2, now it's only a clusterfuck of poeple doing things that may or may not pay off at the end of the mess of each season.
True Blood jumped the shark somewhere Season 3, too.
Code Geass should have ended after one season as original planned. That one was amazing, the second one was amazingly shit. Still, I guess it was entertainingly bad, so maybe it's a good thing they made another one.

1.One Piece The original plan Oda set out for One Piece was for it to last for five years (meaning it originally would have ended in 2002)
2.Doctor Who After Doctor Who TV Movie from 1997 they had plan bring back TV series,But its never realized until 2005.
Doctor Who Spin off K9 And Company fails after...Pilot Episode but many years later we got "K9" and "Sarah Jane Adventures" stand alone spin off series.
Olso there was plan for Doctor Who animated series but after few concept arts idea was scraped.
3.Prison Break Ive think after Micheal has been killed off series goes downfall
4.Lost My best friend said time travel segments kills this series

One show I was pretty obsessed with for a couple of years as a teen was X-Play with Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb.
For it's first few years it was a great show, especially as a guy with no internet at the time being able to see footage of games was very different than just screenshots in a magazine, their E3 specials were also manna from Heaven to me, Lord, I still remember when they played the MGS3 debut trailer from E3 2003, I almost died of excitement.
And Adam Sessler was hilarious and I had a crush on Morgan Webb of course, but a strange thing happened in fall of 2006, they changed sets for a third time to a set I hated and the attitude and humor of the show went downhill, it became really cynical and mean spirited and Sessler and Webb put off this vibe like they were sick of doing it, by that point I had access to the internet so I didn't really need to keep watching it anymore, what's funny is the show still continued on for several years after I stopped watching.

As far as video games go, as much as it pains me to say this - the Mega Man X series after part 5. Of course I own physical copies of everything that came afterwards, but, you know, X6 isn't quite X4.

I was honestly heartbroken over what became of Xplay for the exact reasons you said. It originally started off as Gamespot TV on the old Ziff-Davis network. They could have kept it on this course as a straightforward (if stiff) review show, but then they tried to be funny with lots of skits and stuff in 2003 and then came the downfall a couple years later. The funny bits were gone, replaces with offensive "jokes" about things like suicide (you're hosting a video game show, for crying out loud; if games are the worst part of your life, I'd love to have your problems); complete and utter disdain for certain games, genres, and their fans; and sometimes, they even blatantly avoided talking about the game at hand, instead filling a few minutes with tangentially related bullshit.

Came here to write American Horror Story, but I saw it was already mentioned. I enjoyed Murder House, LOVED (!) Asylum, even liked Coven... but then...... Freak Show was absolutely terrible. Wtf happened? I haven't even bothered with Hotel because of how awful the 4th season was (IMO). The series was always all over the place in terms on plot, but damn... they completely lost it with Freak Show. I barely even remember a story at all.

This year's election. ZING!
In all seriousness, I think the Duke Nukem and Mortal Kombat series need to just be buried with honors at this point.

Me, I always found the fatalities entertaining enough (especially that hilarious head-stretch from Quan Chi that everyone hated), but I have no interest in going online in the new one and watching random people rip my intestines out of my ass every five minutes.

It's less the series and more how it's being handled. After a solid reboot with MK9, MKX gives us a pay-for-fatality system and a PC port which stopped receiving support partway through. And really, why should I support that there's other solid fighting games for PC at this point?

I never understood it at the time, but knowing what I know now I'm sure they got tons and tons of hate on the internet (I'm sure Morgan got hit with a ton of "she's not really a gamer" crap) and I think it made the staff of the show a lot more cynical. But I still have a lot of fond memories of the show, I remember laughing my ass off at the dancing Wookies in Star Wars Galaxy, the review they did of Big Rigs ("YOUR WINNER") and whenever they would send Adam or Morgan to a con was always funny.

That's a good point. I guess I never thought about how much the negativity weighed down on them because I liked it, and that was good enough for me. My bubble was much more self-contained back then. I think that Castle may be an example. The female lead character is apparently leaving the show. Pretty much the whole point of the show was Castle and Kate's romance, so I don't know how they'll really have a show without her. Also, I think it was the last season that was so blatantly a good point to end the show. Yet it's still going on. Ugh.

Ben 10 went to crap once that Live Action Movie was made they should of left it at the original animated movie which was planed to be the ending.
Instead they made everyone older and all act like humorless 40 year olds,kept making aliens look different and even made up a excuse for it saying ben used one of his forms to make the universe different hence the art change. Omniverse was better than the last two series before it but still screwed up by making it a sequel to the original Ben 10 series and ultimate alien at the same time.
Though the original Ben 10 is getting a total reboot again later this year barely 2 years after the original ended.
