OGPP: Your favourite video game franchise?

[craig588]

Fallout, by far.

 

[Hitto]

Castlevania : Series is fun, but it's not something I would buy a console for.
Final Fantasy : Not interested anymore.
Mario Bros : My vote. Fantastic gameplay is all I need.
Megaman : Dead to me.
Metal Gear Solid : Very Good, But not on top of the list.
Metroid : Not my cup of tea. I personally prefer Castlevania's progression system. Hunting for XP on the crapper... The perfect delight.
Pokémon : Never played it.
Resident Evil : Never was interested. If RE4 comes out for the wii at budget price, I'll see.
Street Fighter : Does that still exist?
Zelda : YES. But god I hate the "serious zelda fans".
Sonic : Memories... Oh, and what I said about zelda fans, only 10x worse!

Other : Tetris is pretty good, too.

Although deus ex (closely followed by RE) was my pick I think veho has the right idea.

Castlevania : Good, discovered late in the game for me though.
Final Fantasy : Main series sure (a good chunk of the reason I got into rom hacking, emulation and flash carts/similar devices), spin off games: save chronicles I have not played one I like (x-2 is a spinoff game as well).
Mario Bros : Mario on the nes is one of my earliest memories, all the games I have played with mario in I can appreciate as well.
Megaman : Dead to me as well, GB series: legendary, GBA and console started well be went into freefall.
Metal Gear Solid : Can not stand it.
Metroid : see castlevania.
Pokémon : Good sure, best no chance. Also Hitto I will have to resurrect my laptop or swap out the drive but I have IRC logs that show otherwise.
Resident Evil : not played outbreak but otherwise some of the best gaming experience.
Street Fighter : Show me mortal kombat any day.
Zelda : see castlevania.
Sonic : Apologies for those of a sensitive disposition but equivalent to a guy that saves your life then rapes your little sister.


Other: Bomberman: I was one of the few that liked bomberman 64.

Metroid is probably my favorite. Those games just always make me feel so satisfied once I complete them.

I agree.
To me it was a close call, Metroid or Zelda.
I chose metroid, however Zelda has seen more chapters, but if I have to choose between fantasy and sci-fi I choose the latter.
Too bad we don't see as many sequels for metroid as other franchise, but yes , once I go trough a metroid game the satisfaction in incomparable to anything else.

As much as I love shmups, I really don't think that there's a series of them that compares to the likes of Mario, Sonic, or Zelda.

I'm distraught at the lack of Resident Evil love

I really have never thought that Resident Evil or Metal Gear games are very good. Or, if I do think that they're good, I think that a lot of people tend to overhype them.

That being said, I know that I need to play through RE4. I've heard that they apparently didn't change the formula much from the other games in the series (which I have played), but everyone loves it nonetheless. Meh.

Pokémon : Good sure, best no chance. Also Hitto I will have to resurrect my laptop or swap out the drive but I have IRC logs that show otherwise.

 

[Yoshimashin]

Suikoden.

Earthbound and Resident Evil have a close following.

 

[amiantos]

Heretic, Hexen (not so good), and Heretic II. How can you beat that, seriously?

Uhmmm! How in the world could you remember Heretic II but NOT Hexen II? C'mon!

Hexen II was relatively... something... I'm not sure if I want to say good or not.

Back in the Gameboy Color days, when I was truly getting into gaming, I played my first RPG, which was Dragon Warrior I & II.
I love the first three Dragon Quests to no end. Even when I have games like FF VII and Twilight Princess, I repeatedly find myself, for reasons that I do not wholly understand, returning to a game with little storyline whose hours spent searching for orbs hidden in the most inconvenient places are numbered greatly. DW Monsters I don't know how much time I spent playing because the timer is maxed out. When DQ IX comes out, I will download the rom only because the game shall remain in the box at home.

And Tetris. I love Tetris. Tetris is like the Happy drug that balances out all of the depressingness that I mass from the rest of the games. I have the midi of the theme on my DS everywhere I go. It really is not possible to beat the immense, almost godlike wonder that is Tetris.

 

[Wanted]

Street Fighter II World Warrior Arcade for me please

I spend almost 100% of my money on that game for a few years 100's of hours of gameplay.

 

[Fusion Master]

I award Zelda last place for being overrated like no other series in history

and Final Fantasy FIRST PLACE

 

[Nekoblade]

Shining Force for me, 2 specifically. No game in the history of man will ever top the Shining Force series for me. Ever spent 20 hours straight playing a game? Shining Force 2 did that to me.

 

[EM0rox]

Armored Core, Tactics Ogre, Harvest Moon, Breath Of Fire, Persona, Doom, Catacombs, (older 2d) Duke Nukem... among others, (as far as 'series' go) nothing on that poll's list really interests me

 

[Jei]

Megaman is the series I grew to love with, so it certainly is the one I am the most faithful along life.

 

[HBK]

Pokemon, of course!

 

[R4seller]

Mario Brother for sure

 

[Flash]

Castlevania. I hope that we'll see soon a new Castlevania game for DS
