Franchises you will defend forever?

[randomrob]

There isn't one. I'm not a fanboy. Therefore i will stop buying a series of games if they make more than 2 or 3 shit games.

 

[gibboss28]

The Warcraft series, including WoW. Well I wouldn't defend it, I just call out stupid things said about it.

 

[Tanthius]

There is no franchise that I could say I would defend because there is never a sure bet the next one will be great. There are games I will stand up for but not a franchise in its entirety. Even "complete" franchises might have games in the future. I used to feel that way about command and conquer and then EA drove a nail in its coffin. Until around 2000 I felt that way about Final Fantasy... but all things seem to change. The only franchise right now I have any hopes for its continued quality is Mass Effect.

 

[mattttherman3]

Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and KOTOR.

To a much lesser extent Halo I guess.

 

[kjrubberducky]

the Zone of the Enders series. The second one is my favorite game ever.

Same here. I can count on one hand how many games I've paid full price for, and this is one.

Also, EVE Online. <3

 

[SlyderEST]

I defend Trine (which is just one game, but still).

 

[Blackvegie]

Sherlock Holmes and everything based around Sherlock Holmes.

"The new Sherlock Holmes film was alright. Nothing great."
"Don't ever talk to me again. Don't write, don't call."

"House is is stupid I like Grey's Anatomy better."
"Don't ever talk to me again. Don't write, don't call."

 

[Axel0206]

Zelda.

Shut up, each game is NOT just a copy paste of the previous one with different graphics. *sob*

Agreed..... apart from wow, zelda would have to b my favoritest games of all time

 

[Le_Lisra]

Baldur's Gate Saga.

That's right. Whatcha got?

 

[Nihilm]

Diablo series, since they haven't messed up yet, i wonder if wil lsay teh same once D3 comes out

 

[GLo Jones]

Dynasty Warriors, Dynasty Warriors... Oh, and Dnyasty Warriors.

 

[z3rostr1fe]

Duke Nukem... Oh wait... Real Franchises!

Fallout, Halflife, Portal(basically, Portal is actually within Halflife..), Assassin's Creed(Without the DRM *wink wink*), maybe more if they could only work on my PC or if I had a gaming console...

 

[WhiteTigerShiro]

Chrono Cross. I won't say the whole series, because Trigger honestly doesn't need defending (except from heathens, but no one cares about them), but Chrono Cross got kind of a bad rap due to all of the hype that was generated from "ZOMG CHRONO TRIGGER SEQUEL!!" Fans of the first game walked into it expecting the Holy Grail of RPGs, so when the game turned-out to be completely different from Trigger, they revolted against it. It's still a good game though, and it has a really good story.

I will defend that game with my dying breath if I have to.

 

[AnAngryMoose]

Timesplitters. To say it isn´t at least one of the best shooters out there is blasphemy in my opinion.

Now if you´ll excuse me... "Time to split!"

 

[sketch_zeppelin]

None, a franchise, no matter how good can still end up becoming a piece of shit down the line. even franchises that rock that have ended could still be re-started by some idoit that proceeds to turn them into a mockery of themselves.
Also not being able to accept someones critique of somthing makes you come off as a bit crazy. I love the saints row games to death but if someone comes up to me and says that the stories are shallow and they promote criminal violance i'd have to agree. They may have a point but it's not gonna prevent me from enjoying them.

Now that being said if were talking about individual games then yes there are some games that are just amazing but i'll still listen to someones issues with a game before i decided if they have a point or are just being stupid

 

[Vhite]

Gothic, I dont care that 3. was shit compared to 1. and 2. game. I still loved it.

 

[mr_pants66]

Freelancer but it isn't a series.

I used to defend Pokemon in such a manner but the current direction in monster design isn't impressing me.

it is there is a game called starlancer (google it)

i have played both freelancer is better but they are both amazing fantastic games and there should be more like them

 

[ThePostalGamer]

The entire Terminator series, Resident Evil, Dead Rising, Call of Duty, Halo and Mass Effect.

 

[Nihilism_Is_Bliss]

Pokemon & Final fantasy
