Thread: Gaming series that haven't let you down

    Gaming series that haven't let you down

    Are there any of them left for you?

    For me it'd be Resident Evil and Silent Hill, I guess. Resident Evil took a turn, and I sometimes miss the way of the old games, but the last two games were still loads of fun in a different way. Silent Hill has only cranked out great games afaic. Silent Hill 5 was a bit of a letdown to me at first, but I've appreciated it more on my second playthrough.

    Main Mario and Zelda series also has great consistency of quality.

    Final Fantasy, believe it or not.

    Mario, Zelda, Metroid, anything Valve, Metal Gear Solid, Grand Theft Auto, Super Smash Bros

    Resident Evil has certainly had disappointing moments for me or else I'd put it on the list. I really, really did not like RE0. I thought it was just absolutely lame and a poor follow-up to the wonderful stuff they managed to do with the remake. I haven't played 5 yet, but I'm going into it anticipating all the action of 4 without much of the suspense. I've liked the Silent Hill games that I've played, but admittedly I've only followed the first two through to completion.

    I cant think of a single series Ive played that doesnt have atleast one bad entry. Age of empires maybe.

    edit: The Chrono Trigger/Cross series is good but probably because it only has two games. Seiken Densetsu series has also been pretty consistent.

    I'd love to say Final Fantasy but after XIII I just dunno. I thought Square has a near flawless track record up until then.

    Shinobi might be one of the only franchises that has never let me down. Even the Shinobi game for the PS2 was awesome. No qualms with that series. Wonder why Sega forgot about it. In fact there are numerous other Sega series that are mostly stellar throughout. Shenmue, Phantasy Star, House of the Dead, Shining Force and Jet Set just to name a few. If only I could add Sonic to that list.

    Mega Man Legends, Breath of Fire (hell I even like Dragon Quarter), Fatal Fury, Shenmue, Yakuza, Parasite Eve. That's all the ones I can think of offhand. Nearly every other series has had at least 1 game I didn't like.

    I have been rickrolled.

    On topic, Suikoden. That said I haven't played any after II yet.

    Unless you count Guild Wars which only has one game I'd say no there isn't on that hasn't let me down

    Suikoden.

    Some of them lack the shine of the others (IV, specifically) but they still manage to be worthwhile and entertaining games to play.

    Silent Hill hasn't disappointed you? Some of them have been lackluster recently.

    I think every series has disappointed me at least once.

    Yeah, I'm really struggling too. I'm going to have to go with an easy one: the main Mario series. Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3, World, 64, Sunshine, G1 and G2. Now, I haven't played G2 yet, and Sunshine was kind of... eh. I'm not really comfortable with this answer.
