Personally I'm burned out of Assassin's Creed, Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Kart.
What about you?
I used to be a big Mass Effect and Halo fan, but I'm completely burnt out and done with them and I'm getting that way with Assassin's Creed as well.
It's "burned out on," not "off".
Nothing yet...
Yep, thanks!
None I suppose, I played one Call of Duty and enjoyed it and wasn't dumb enough to buy the exact same product again. AC has excellent and unique multiplayer so that's what keeps me going on that front (also always a visual treat even if the single player gameplay can be middling).
Gears of War, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Killzone... Basically most shooters. I still really like Halo, but that has the virtue of having an interesting universe backing it up.
Halo, primarily. It has an unexciting universe weighing it down. So dull.
Edit: And Assassin's Creed. Grew tired of that franchise mid-way through the second game.
I think I might be burnt out on Football Manager. I've barely touched it these past 6 months. And that's after buying probably about 95% of the games they've put out since Champ Manager 2. Yeah I've had spells where I haven't touched, but this is the longest I've gone without any interest in the newest version since the original move from the text match engine to 2D because Champ Manager 4 was a broken mess. So I think I skipped 2 editions after that.
Other than that I don't know. Assassins Creed maybe? But if the next one is great I'm sure I'll love it like I did Brotherhood. Don't play any of your CODs, Gears of War, Halo or anything like that, & I'm still super excited for the new GTA game. Still enjoy Rock Band 3 from time to time, still love my Paradox strategy games. I didn't love Civ5 as much as I did Civ 4 or 3 or 2 but part of that is just because it runs pretty badly on my machine.
Assassin's creed, Mass Effect and Battlefield. Mainly because there was a time when I was seriously enthusiastic about those franchises and the recent entries have checked me out.
i mix the games and franchises i play up quite a lot so i never really get burnt out on any of them.
never play the same genre back to back. never play a game from the same series back to back.
i think if you get burnt it's your own fault
Personally I don't think it is a bad thing. I like immersing myself in the games I play, soaking in all that they have to offer. If a genre or a franchise doesn't have any more to give, why bother playing subsequent games that don't add anything else?
None that I know of.
Not Fire Emblem? hum hum :P

The Fire never burns me. I can handle the Flame.

I'd go with "burnt out" myself. I thought most people did although I think if you have an American accent they would sound similar.
Assassins Creed, and I haven't played since Brotherhood. I watched the end of Ezios story on YouTube. Unlike CoD or other shooters which are easily digestable rentals, AC is so story heavy that making it a yearly slow drip has bottomed out my interest in the franchise. I still like the gameplay but I can't bring myself to play another one.
I don't know, GTA is the only one that really comes to mind. I was never all that into COD, GOW or Assassin's Creed, so I wouldn't say I'm more burned out on them today than I was starting off, and can still have fun times with them at times. But GTA went into a direction I didn't care for with GTA IV - or, well, not so much that I was opposed to the tone they tried to go for as much as I felt it didn't work the way it should - it clashed with the actual gameplay, and seems like they are continuing with that in GTA V, so I'm not sure I'll even pick that one up when it's out.
Other than that, I don't know, maybe StarCraft and the Blizzard style of RTS games. The RTS genre is almost dead at this point, but almost all of the games that are still getting released in the genre follow the Blizzard design, both in UI and gameplay. What got me into RTSes, and the games I still enjoy in the genre were the Westwood and Cavedog style (i.e,. stuff like C&C, Dune 2/2k/Emperor, Total Annihilation, Supreme Commander, KKnD, Warzone 2100 and Dark Reign). Well, at least I've got Planetary Annihilation to look forward to, assuming they'll be able to get it done with the relatively low budget they got through Kickstarter.
Nothing comes to mind. I don't really have any franchise that I'm super into that is being annualized. Pretty much all the big games that get yearly upgrades are not something I'm really into. Thinking back the closest thing to a big franchise I have had any interest in is the AC games, but I was never really all that invested. Would be nice if they took a break with that series though. There has never been a game that benefits from being annualized.
In the sense that I had no interest in continuing along with the franchise, I think I'm more or less done with Assassin's Creed unless they really nail it with Black Flag. That's the only one I can pin down so far. I'm potentially about to reach that point for a few games but I don't know yet until I've played the next ones.
Crash Bandicoot and The Last of Us, someday I hope Naughty Dog will get back to making those classic Uncharted games and giving them a modern spin.
Assassin's Creed. If they hadn't made the naval combat in AC3 so great, I would have written them off entirely
Call of Duty, I have bought them all since 4 and have played them less each time. I really dont even know why I bought Black Ops 2, the single player was good but the multiplayer is really stale.
Assassin's Creed has just been getting worse since Brotherhood. Revelations and 3 were just not that good.
Assassins Creed
Call of Duty
Gears of War
time for a new direction with all these, and hopefully whatever the next Battlefield does actually makes it a better game because I got burnt out on BF3 real fast
I love Gears of War, but I didn't pick up the newest one, I am not ready to jump into the world yet again. I usually get every other Call of Duty lately, so I will probably skip the next one. Halo 4 never really caught me either. I would like to see some "next-gen" games set in the Mass Effect universe.

Your soooo funny...
You are tired of a trilogy of games spread over 5 years while we have annual franchises like CoD, Halo and AC?
Assassin's Creed is the only series loved 2, but with the annual releases ever since I've had too many other games to play to pick them up, and by the time I was ready to go back to it there have been too many releases some of which arn't even good anymore.
I've been burned out on any RTS or fantasyish medieval games ever since the beginning of my existence. It's a curse.
I still play the COD games but I think having at least a year without one may be nice. I would have to say Assassins Creed. After Brotherhood it just seemed to go downhill.
I've got no interest in playing another Mass Effect or Assassin's Creed again. Actually, I will probably be taking a break from EA and Ubisoft overall for a while--unless Watchdogs is worth it.
Also just about all FPS games that don't do anything new or interesting and I don't really need any new cover shooters either.
Giant Bomb
In all seriousness, any game that is made into a competitive "sport", Starcraft, MOBA's. Mass Effect, but only because people kept on complaining about it.
Halo and Gears, probably one of the biggest factors in my disinterest in the Xbox One is the only Microsoft first party games I enjoy I'm totally done with. Halo 4 I burned out very quickly on when past Halos I played for years. Gears I only played for campaign and didn't even get excited for Judgement and ultimately never picked it up.
I'm hesitant on Assassin's Creed after 3, but I'm trying to not confuse burned out on the franchise with disappointment with AC3. AC4 could potentially be awesome, everything before AC3 was awesome. One bad game does not invalidate making more of them if they are good.
But oddly enough I think I'm playing more Call of Duty than I have in years. I didn't play a lot of MW3 and Black Ops 1 and BO2 reinvigorated me into the franchise. And I don't understand people saying their done with Mass Effect. I am totally down for more Mass Effect. This goes back to confusing your disappointment with the last game with franchise fatigue. There has only been 3 games in the last 6 years, thats not franchise fatigue. And ME3 was amazing, people need to lay off it. If they make another game I'll be there.
