Franchises you will defend forever?

[littlewisp]

Zelda.

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

This by a lot. I don't even make sense sometimes when I'm frantically trying to explain why it's so awesome. Maybe I should just try slapping people until they agree with me. . .

 

[Digital_Hero]

Castlevania
Megaman when it was still a side scroller, though .exe was alright
Metroid
Metal Gear (I like to think of it before 4)
MEDIEVIL >_>
and last but not least, StarCraft.

 

[Airsoftslayer93]

battlefield or total war, i love those games

 

[acklumos]

Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, and Dark Cloud.

 

[Chrono180]

Rock band. Completely unlike Activision, Harmonix actually treats it's customers like people, rather than talking wallets.

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

Definetly 300 if it gets a sequal...
which it should...
and the ff though my moral was diminished by
X-2, XI, XII, XIII, and the anouncement that XIV is a MMO...
I blame ENIX the only thing they improved was KH...

 

[MurderousToaster]

Basically anything by Valve. It's been proven by actual Scientists* that a Valve game can never be bad or have negative repercussions on anyone or anything.

Seriously, though, I love Valve and would defend them to the death.

I think it's hilarious that all but maybe three users who answered "HALO!" were born in the nineties.

Zelda.

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

Yes they are! DENIAL is the first step to admitting it!

Ever take a look at the following?

Adventure of Link
Majora's Mask
The Oracle games
Four Swords Adventure
Phantom Hourglass (despite how awful it was)
Spirit Tracks

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

Ratchet & Clank and Mass Effect.

 

[Mar451]

Bioshock and Team Ico games

 

[Macgyvercas]

*looks at avatar*

That should say everything I want to. If it doesn't, this will.

Spoiler

All 16 games in the series are AWESOME! (Yes, I am preemptivly calling Skyward Sword awesome. So sue me)

 

[Double A]

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.

Old school? GS graphics are beautiful, especially the hand-drawn backgrounds in the fights. To hell with photorealism!

 

[Get_A_Grip_]

It's hard to think of any franchises that I would defend. It seems that the more games that a franchise releases, the higher the odds that they will release a poor game. eg Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid (AC!D), Mario, Sonic, Rayman, Street Fighter, Bioshock ... etc.

However I am happy with the Pokemon main RPGs (well so far anyway), Gran Turismo and Professor Layton.

 

[Ophi]

Zelda and Fire Emblem are the two big ones that I'd defend to the point of just being stubborn.

 

[Quaxar]

Basically every Star Wars game. I may not know all, but Jedi Knight/KOTOR/Republic Commando/Battlefront are some of the most awesome games I've ever played!

 

[Cutethulhu]

The Fatal Frame series, Shine Megami Tensei, Atelier Iris (or any of the Atelier games), the KoTOR games, and the Ace Attorney games. I will always be a fangirl and, yes, at times rabid about it.

 

[Jark212]

Halo, Mass Effect, and Fallout...

The three staples in my gaming diet...
