Franchises you will defend forever?

[Kuilui]

Resident Evil is probably the only series I would defend forever and maybe twisted metal.

 

[Z(ombie)fan]

Zelda.

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

Agreed.

For the same plot over and over (Majora aside, in which case they added nightmares to mix it up a bit.

Yea, Im not going to give those hours of sleep you robbed from me go, NINTENDO)

Pokemon would be one, as long as they don't completely destroy the battle system in generation 5.

The Mario RPG would be my other one, as long as you don't count Super Paper Mario. The rest of the games where all fantastic.

Do you count paper mario 1&2?

OT: FINAL FANTASY LULZ LULZ LULZ.
Just kidding, Tales of _____(Except tales of symphonia 2, burn in some horrible place...like arizona !)

 

[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.

 

[Cody211282]

Games:
Mass Effect, Halo, KOTOR, Fallout, Dawn of War, Dragon Age, Battlefield, Portal, Team Fortress 2, Zelda
Shows:
Deep Space 9, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Seinfeld, Scrubs(not the new one that's on), Friends, House, 24

Now I wouldn't attack anyone of them but I would defend them.

 

[Lightslei]

I'm willing to acknowledge faults, each series sets its precedent as to what to expect and when the next part of the series is subpar to its predecessor there is no need to defend it, just acknowledge it and move on.

 

[Auric]

Nothing...

I just dont see any single franchise being perfect throughout its lifecycle, and there becomes a point where leaping to the defence of a franchise far past its prime makes you look like nothing but a twat.

 

[Anah'ya]

Thief
Splinter Cell (sans Double Agent, that I burn in alot of fire)
System Shock
Mass Effect

I like being a twat.

 

[ninjaman 420]

Runescape/ JaGeX.

Everyone seems to think that Runescape is for fags and nerds, but I for one don't think so.

Whenever someone says how gay RS is I just say 'fuck you' and rant about why it is awesome.

I don't really play it anymore but when I was addicted it was the second best thing to sex (the reason why I don't play it anymore Ha, Ha.)

i got ninja'd. i LOVE runescape. it i had a better connection and wasnt stealing internet id play it everyday. and i STILL get laid.

 

[Guffe]

Zelda, Metroid, first two worlds of Pokemon, Warcraft III, Mario and probably some other ones.

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

The only way I would defend a franchise is if all entries were great and I knew that there would never be another entry to potentially mar the perfect record. Thus far, nothing like that exists.

 

[CNKFan]

Mortal Kombat. Hell I even like MKvs.DCU and a lot of people hate it. I am also excited about the new MK game that is coming out next year.

 

[peterwolfe]

No matter what people say about the Zelda Franchise just being the same thing forever, I point at Majora's Mask and tell them to eat a dick.

 

[Terramax]

Surprisingly nothing. Even my fav series have ended up going downhill (Silent Hill, Broken Sword, Street Fighter, Tenchu).

Eh, this guy may have said it better.

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

Fallout, Baldur's Gate, Deus Ex

And since I'm kind of a VALVe fanboy..I'd have to say Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress and L4D.

 

[Yeager942]

Well said.

I concur and I'll defend any of Valve's games to the death. Rabid fanboy I am. Bioware too.

 

[Sebenko]

Don't like my favorite FPS?
Get out of here stalker!

Thief

Shalebridge cradle.

 

[ShadowsofHope]

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!

..Anyways. Mass Effect and KotOR. KotOR is the god of Star Wars, and Mass Effect is an epic story! *Shakes fist!*

 

[Anah'ya]

Shalebridge cradle.

What a pleasant stroll that was.

 

[Infernai]

Metal Gear solid, Mass Effect, Devil May Cry, and Kotor.
