Franchises you will defend forever?

[yoyo13rom]

Portal and The Monkey Island series(they are the only things I would verbally, and agressively protect)

 

[LogicNProportion]

Metal Gear/Metal Gear Solid.

Soooooooooooooo many play-throughs of Snake Eater...

 

[AngryPuppy]

In short, I may defend individual games in a series if the game really is great but as for the series themselves, fuck em. If they have weak links then as long as you attack the weak game and not the series as a whole then its fine.
The only thing I will defend against is when people say utterly retarded things like all FF are the same or the series needs to end because its up to number XIII without having any idea that the games are totally seperate from each other.

Pretty much this. Not much I can really add to that either. Just one example is the Fallout series. I love 1 & 2 but 3... I don't even really associate it with the original 2 and New Vegas looks WAY to similar to 3 to be worth it, though my opinion may change once I play it.

METAL GEAR AWHJWHJHAASJHAHAJHAJ

 

[Biosophilogical]

Probably Halo. Maybe? If they're comparing it to Captain Bland's Brown Mud Shooty Gun Adventure anyway. Although I'd definitely defend Total War games, and I mean "pre ETW" because ETW and NTW aren't considered games in my book.

So what about you? ( Also, don't take the thread to seriously...)

As you wish.

OT: Golden Sun. The first two games were the greatest RPG's I have ever played (except FFX, but the gameplay isn't similar enough to draw too many relevant comparisons). I can just imagine how orgasmifying they would have been with PS3 graphics ... well actually I can't, because I imagine they would be such great games that they would be beyond my imagination.

GS is awesome, but I've never had to defend it against anyone. Probably from lack of anyone but me caring, but whatever.

I've had to once or twice against Halo-players whom I've tried to introduce to the old-school graphics of Golden Sun, but apart from that the only people I know who've played it loved it.

Fallout, such a wealth of back story creates a world which I had envisaged for years before I ever heard of the series, it's like a spawn of my mind and i love it to death

also C&C Generals, I'd also say Red Alert, but RA3 was just awful

 

[Offworlder_v1legacy]

Warcraft.

Nothing will touch my little green men while I'm defending them.

EDIT: Not WoW, the strategies.

 

[Flack]

Pokemon,Deus Ex, KOTOR, internet crack(WoW)

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Kingdom Hearts

The amount of fanboyism that that game series gets here intrigues me. I've only seen a few videos and pictures of it. It looked to me like a rather basic hack&slash RPG featuring lots of Disney characters in funky versions of their usual outfits. What's up with it?

It is a beautiful game. While gameplay may not be as strong as say, God of War, the story, the characters and the atmosphere makes it more than a game. It makes it something to be experienced.

Calumon: Besides, Disney is cool! But they'd be cooler if they got Saban to do the Dub for Xros Wars! >.<

 

[Valkyrie101]

Mass Effect, to the end.

 

[LitleWaffle]

half life

People hate this?

OT: Definitely going to go with Golden Sun, Team Fortress 2, and Legend of Zelda (people in my school actually hate Legend of Zelda).

Golden Sun: Best RPG series to ever exist, besides maybe Final Fantasy, but that's just because there are new ones. But now that Golden Sun: Dark Dawn is coming out, I've got my boxing gloves loaded.

Team Fortress 2: To me, it is by far the best FPS game because its balanced. Each class has its own strengths and weaknesses and each has a piece that they can contribute to the team, unlike most recent FPS's where it doesn't matter if your in a group because you have regenerating health.

Legend of Zelda: Just... just no. I can't imagine how sane people can dislike this series.

Oops, kind of went on a rant there. =P

 

[Talvrae]

Baldur's Gate (The PC games not the consoles rip-offs)
Fallout (the originals)
Mass Effect

 

[Cooperblack]

None, I don't waste my time "defending" games, People have a right to have whatever opinion they want about the things i like.

 

[ClunkiestTurtle]

<--------

I think my answer kinda goes without saying

 

[Corpse XxX]

Team Fortress, no doubt best game evah.. And those who disagree are poopieheads!

 

[Ardna Xela]

Mario, Zelda, Pokémon and everything else that was made by Nintendo, as well as Final Fantasy, Silent Hill, Resident Evil and Fatal Frame. Those series have changed my life forever - in a very good way.

 

[Littlee300]

Pokemon would be one, as long as they don't completely destroy the battle system in generation 5.

The Mario RPG would be my other one, as long as you don't count Super Paper Mario. The rest of the games where all fantastic.

Weird... Super Mario Paper was the only mario game I bothered to finish. (I also didn't finish super Mario galaxy by the way)

 

[radred]

starcraft

 

[Littlee300]

Fallout, such a wealth of back story creates a world which I had envisaged for years before I ever heard of the series, it's like a spawn of my mind and i love it to death

You would probably like Dragon Age then...

Warcraft 3, i have been playing and enjoying it for years.

I've got a soft spot for American McGee, even his least popular game; Bad Day LA. Maybe it's because he actually talks to his fans, maybe it's because we share toilet & morbid sence of humor, maybe because I have a soft spot for men who like Wonderland & Oz, or maybe because he reminds me of Tim Burton.
