The gaming equivalent to "jumping the shark"(which is an obsolete expression after Indiana Jones "nuked the fridge") is officially called "punching the boulder", brougth to us by Chris Redfiled on Resident Evil 5.

Thanks, Vanubama.

Why EA, why?

I'm pretty sure it's still the same phrase regardless. XD
I still just use "jumping the shark". Though if you must force an attempt to re-name the term for video games, lessee what we can come up with...
Laughing with Tidus (also a cause of impotence. My dick shriveled up just thinking about it)
Devil May Cry: Fuck This Platinum Wig Edition (applies to any unnecessary reboot, though that one was an especially harsh slap to the face)
"EA, 'nuff said" (poor Ultima...)
Something about Sonic being a werewolf
Resident Evil: Kill Africa
See, that's the problem: you can only really refer to something specific. Just stick with the shark. The shark has been reliable for decades, and even "nuking the fridge" is just another example of the shark, rather than a substitute because the process is exactly the same. It's still Henry Winklers dried up old turdy-dumps in the end.

I happen to like the reboot, just wish they did better writing on the characters and made original demons better.
That franchise has always been high on my "things that I am so indifferent toward, that I cannot even PRETEND to give a fuck about them" list, but even I have to admit the fans did NOT deserve that colossal "fuck you" the game forced in.
That would be like EA putting Boba Fett into the Battlefront bastardizati-errrr, "reboot", but not letting him be playable and having him fly around singing "Fuckin' deal with it, Assholes!" off the top of his lungs in D-Minor...with JANGO'S voice!

Yeah...
I'm probably one of the few fans who didn't take offense to that scene. Something must be wrong with me.
Something about Sonic and "edgy evil emo twin clones" would seem more fitting to me.
Fuck the whole franchise, now that I think about it.
NOT literally! Sorry to get the furrverts excited there for a sec.
