Franchises you will defend forever?

[GuerrillaClock]

Obviously I wouldn't defend it forever, regardless of quality, but I will always defend Zelda against people who criticise it for never changing. Clearly, these people have either never played Zelda or are just being over-cynical, 'edgy' trolls. Every Zelda feels very, very different in tone and in nature, just looking at the surface and going "ohh, it still has a hookshot and a Princess in it, WTF Nintendo rehash!" and so on is stupidity of the highest order.

None as far as I can think of. No series is above reproach. They all make missteps sometimes and frankly they SHOULD. If they never misstep, chances are they're not pushing the envelope far from the tree...or something.

 

[Your once and future Fanboy]

Final fantasy and Metal gear Solid.
But only the main titles in the franchises, i.e not FF tactics, FF crystal cronicles or MGS portable ops

 

[DazBurger]

Halo and Mass Effect for me.

Just flame me, I care not, I LOVE HALO! Single player, multi player, the story... Everything!

 

[No-Superman10]

Kingdom Hearts, Timesplitters, Ape Escape.
That is all.

 

[RadiusXd]

For me, Starcraft.
I am waaaay too emotionally invested in this series to pull back now.

 

[Cowabungaa]

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! >.<

Sounds vague enough to interest me. Give me a PS3 remake or something and I'll play it.

 

[Doctor Glocktor]

Pokemon
Team Fortress 2
Halo

 

[Woodsey]

KotOR (although I'll ignore the bastard child that is KotOR 2), Mafia and Mass Effect.

 

[Safe in the Dark]

MGS....And....

I haven't completely lost faith in my childhood hero.

 

[dragonslayer32]

the elder scrolls. i love that series and will defend it to the death.

 

[GameOverGoblin]

Legend of Zelda, Grand Theft Auto, and God of War.

 

[DRTJR]

Zelda, metroid, Final fantasy,and Fire emblem

 

[Marter]

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.

Do you count paper mario 1&2?

Of course. In fact, I would consider the second Paper Mario the pinnacle of the series so far.

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.

Tell me, how did Super Paper Mario not stand up to the rest of them? I thought it was a superb game.

To me, it wasn't a Mario RPG. It was another platformer. I'm not saying it isn't a good game, I'm saying that it should not be included in the "Mario RPG" label. It was too different in gameplay to be included.

 

[nick n stuff]

dead rising
toy story (pixar in general)
guitar hero
timesplitters (for the use of bots and it's sense of humour)
