Favorite game franchise competition

SalsaInABowl · March 10, 2014, 03:37:53 AM

So a little game I made up. Name your favorite game franchise other than Minecraft (I hope I don't need to explain that bit) and whichever game/franchise gets the most votes wins. I don't know, just thought I would see what you all like.

I'll start this off with Mortal Kombat getting my vote.
(And I assume FNV will place his vote on Fallout but let's see)
And since people are choosing multiple I guess I will throw in Ratchet and Clank and Super Smash Bros, and maybe Gears of War. Honestly I feel like the first three to R&C and Gears of War were the only good games though. Judgement was awful, like just horrible. Except for the overrun game mode. That was amazing. R&C didn't go downhill as bad but I just feel like it isn't the same after 4. I would add DragonBall Z but those games got ruined after the PS2 era so yeah. Battle of Z is a huge disappointment. I used to love the super monkey ball games too. Those games were INSANELY difficult. Super Smash Bros seemed to get better with each game, and I'm counting on Nintendo to not screw it up with their fourth game (shame on you Epic, for ruining what was my favorite Xbox shooter), although it does look promising other than Bowser seeming to be overpowered since they gave him a different moveset and made him way more agile. Star Fox holds a special place in my heart, but damn it when are they going to release another game?! I was okay with Adventures but let's have another game where you're in a ship/tank like 64. Halo is slowly going downhill in my opinion. You know it kinda seems like to me that the third console curse doesn't just apply to consoles but games as well. Well, actually this would be the Fourth Game Curse. Even Mortal Kombat went downhill after 4, which got horrible reception even though I honestly like it. I honestly never saw the replay value in Pokemon. It's like you beat the Elite Four, finish the post story and then...? At least Mystery Dungeon (and now I slowly raise my flame shield) had way more replay ability due to having much more content, way better story and randomized dungeons with plenty of mysteries (no pun intended, if that counts) to find. Plus you are actually doing the fighting so it gives you more options, plus items are way more useful, yet more precious because you need to plan ahead before using items because most of them aren't easy to find.

Oh. I just went on a rant.

Mortal Kombat - 1
Ratchet and Clank - 2
Super Smash Bros - 1
GTA - 1
WWE - 1
Titanfall - 1
Fallout - 1
Bioshock - 2
Elder Scrolls - 1
Sonic - 2
Pokemon - 2
Half-life - 1
Counter Strike - 1
Team Fortress - 1
DoTA - 1
GW - 1
Portal - 1
Star Wars Battlefront - 1
EVE - 1
Assassin's Creed - 1
Jak & Daxter - 1
Kingdom Hearts - 1

Total War!... Wait... They ruined it. (Rome II/Shogun II)
The Elder Scrolls!... Wait... They ruined it (Skyrim)
Ratchet and Clank!... Wait... They ruined it (Everything after #3 (4 was alright, I guess))

...Shit...

I guess I like DoTA

I really enjoy the Starwars battlefront series. both 1 and 2.

EVE Online was really good. but time consuming.

Team fortress 2, ofcourse.
Portal series is fantastic.

GW2, is incredibly enjoyable aswell... I have way to many favorites.

I had a really fun time with all the halo's so +1

Chipaton · March 10, 2014, 10:17:11 PM

I'd add a vote for Bioshock, but I would like to add that Titanfall is not a franchise since the first game isnt even out.
