Least Favourite Game in your Favourite Series

[Dimbo_Sama]

Sonic R.

Everyone hates Unleashed but who even remembers Sonic R?

Fire Emblem 6: The Sword of Seals, purely because I hate Roy and his 7 strength at lv 20 and promoting near the very end of the game bullshit that he pulls. Good game otherwise.

Final Fantasy VII... Although I *love* its universe, story, and characters, the gameplay felt oddly bland and boring. And for me, the most important thing about a game is its gameplay.

Favorite series: Total War

Least favorite game: Either Medieval 2 (I just like Rome better, when it comes to hand-to-hand combat) or Empire (Glitches out the ass, although the guns are a nice new addition).

It might not be my favourite series but the point needs to be made. Splinter Cell is an awesome series, and Conviction came to the party and sank the boat...

Heroes of Might and Magic 5 was just LAME compared to 3 and 4. it was bland, uninspired, had a lazy plot and got boring fast.


hopefully 6 will be as awesome as the trailer.

This has already been done before. Anyway, I said it once and I'll say it again. Sly's 2 and 3 are far superior to Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racconus.

This man speaks the truth.

Though it's not bad by any stretch.

That expansion for World in Conflict was really insubstantial, but that doesn't really count.

Completely off topic, but I agree with this. Kinda wish that they'd have made it a lot longer, maybe even let you choose who wins. That's probably just me though.

Anyways, I think for my favourite series, I'd have to say it's Bioshock, and obviously Bioshock 2 is the weakest there. Not to necessarily say it's a bad game, it just felt more like an expansion pack then an actual stand alone game.

Gothic series. First two parts absolutely wonderful, great story, great gameplay, great fun. Third was much worse, only ok. But Forsaken Gods... for god sake! JoWood argued with original developer, they quit, and JoWood hired some small unexperienced studio to make the continuation of their most selling title. Great job, game is unplayable, fan mods are done better.

Splinter Cell is an awesome series, and Conviction came to the party and sank the boat...

Conviciton is only only the latest of Splinter Cell's fails.

Half-Life Blue Shift sucked ass. However, it was Gearbox that made that, not Valve. Otherwise I'd say HL2 Episode 1.

Yeah I agree. Dammit, I want Sly 4 already.

I really hated Phantom Hourglass. I'm not a huge Zelda fan, but as a follow up to Wind Waker it was terrible.

I don't have an 'ultimate' favorite...
But there are a couple of series that I like.

Final Fantasy
Least favorite = FF XIII, I mean, at least the awful FF X-2 had a decent battle mechanic... XIII doesn't even have that anymore. First Final Fantasy I didn't even bother to finish (yet).

Shin Megami Tensei
Least favorite = Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kozunoha Versus the Soulless Army. I already thought that Digital Devil Saga was a step back from Lucifer's Call... But they really missed the ball on this one.

Shadow Hearts
Least favorite = Shadow Hearts: From The New World, the crown example of how to completely f*ck up a magnificent underdog franchise. Screw you From the New World. Screw! You!

Spyro The Dragon
Least favorite = Spyro: Enter The Dragonfly, I've said it before and I will say it again, this game is eeeeeeevil! It killed every last piece of nostalgic innocence I carry within me.

 

[ShakerSilver]

Command and Conquer 4.

Please EA, please, discard that game as non-cannon. Why did you take away base building that you've used for over a dozen games in over fifteen years of the C&C Series? Why? You ruined the gameplay!

I hate to say this but, erm, This.

That and every Sonic game after Heroes. Especially 2006 and Unleashed.

 

[Sacman]

Favourite series is Final Fantasy, and my least favourite game is XII. I hate that game.

Hey I liked FFXII... sure the characters and voice acting weren't very good but I rather enjoyed the aesthetic setting, story and combat system even if it did just copy every Bioware game ever made...
OT: Deus Ex Invisible war for obvious reasons...
