Games Series'

(1/4) > >>

Blyss:
So, I got to thinking about it, and I was a little surprised to find out how I've gotten into the series' that games can often get into, without even realizing it.

The one that immersed me, without me even knowing it, was the Final Fantasy Series.  Even though it kinda' lost my attention with FFX - still, that's 10 games, and I played them all to finish up to that.

Also high on the list - The Resident Evil Series.  I played the first one when it came out - like two days after release.  I played 2 and three, and I'm into RECVX, even though I hate it with a passion.  I also have Outbreak, and RE:4 now - haven't even played 4.  I've considered getting a gamecube just to play the RE:0 and RE:remake.  Just wow.

The GTA series - all the way back to its PC roots - I've played them all except Vice City Stories, and the forthcoming GTA:4.

Metal Gear Series - Yep, played the first two on the NES.  How far they've come.  Damn those games were hard in the early days.  Again, considering a GC just for the Twin Snakes.

There are others, less popular, and some with only 1 - 2 games.  That's the biggest meat of the list right there.

Anyone else?

Melodic:
Pokemon. Hell yes. I played Blue and Silver to death, got halfway through Crystal and Ruby, and am having a kick-ass time with Diamond. I love my Pokemans.

Splunkle:
Civilization - I've played every single version, plus Alpha Centauri, and I've even played Colonization.  About once every 9 months I get a huge massive craving to play some Civilization, and it isn't sated until I do so.  I'm going through one now actually, and its really annoying, because I lent my Civ4 disc to a friend.  I'm such an addict =(

Command and Conquer - Not anywhere near as bad as my Civ addiction, but I still really love these games.  Kane lives in death, you see.

Thats all the series I'm addicted to with more than two games in it.  If we include two game series, the list explodes.

Scytale:
Put me down for Civilization as well, I still play Alpha Centauri over LAN sometimes.

Warcraft is another series I've plowed through never played World of War Craft though

Ultima, even played Ultima Online for a while
Space Quest
Kings' Quest
Zork
Commander Keen
Heroes of Might and Magic
Wing Commander (even stuff like Privateer...)
Quake
Mortal Kombat (1 -4, don't know what else has been released since)

Jeez thats a lot more then I thought...

First, I DEFINITELY recommend you get a Gamecube for REmake and RE: 0. If you liked the original, the remake will make you shit yourself in gaming bliss. I started playing the series with the release of 2, so I played the original back within two years of its release and the incredible amount of improvement made for the remake is astounding. Every single element of the game is improved, ESPECIALLY the atmosphere. I'm usually an advocate for "graphics are unimportant," but when a game's chief selling point is the atmosphere, the better the graphics, the better the game. The voice acting...still sucks, but hey, I expect it from these games at this point. Play it, you'll be hooked from the opening cinematic alone. I'd actually recommend you get a Wii, if you've got the cash. You can play them on there and Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition is supposed to be out soon and has the benefits of both the Gamecube (Better visuals) and PS2 (Extra content) versions, plus the motion controls (Which apparently work very exceptionally).

That said, I'm actually a series specific gamer. Unless something gets rave reviews, I tend to stick primarily to established series.

Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Suikoden, Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Lunar, Street Fighter, Streets of Rage, Sonic the Hedgehog (Pre-3D), Chrono, Soul Calibur and Golden Sun come to mind quickly.
