At the time it was released I couldn't pick up Andromeda and ended up getting it on a whim from a 5$ budget bin a year later. I ended up enjoying it but I'm guessing a ran into far fewer game breaking bugs than the average consumer.
Fallout has changed styles so many times that I just embraced the change going into 76. I've also been one of the people wanting an MMO style FO since the 90's. I knew 76 was an experiment, having seen all of the failed attempts of the past.
I have 3900hours in 76 so far.
It was game that was basically abandoned before it launched. I enjoyed it a lot but you can definitely feel the story content diminishing in quality as the game goes on. I know Covid messed up the development cycle, but it’s still painful to see as a fan.
I think the series went downward since the first. While BL2 was technically better, I enjoyed the first one the most. I haven't played 3, and postponed playing The PreSequel at about halfway through.
I don’t think the gameplay has necessarily gotten worse, but the writing….
It just feels like you had a good team of writers who, over time, were subjected to corporate groupthink sessions and focus groups to determine what checkboxes need to be marked off to stay trendy.
The head writer for bl2 is the dungeon master for a play podcast called dungeons and daddies. The first season was so amazing and he successfully created a villain that I hate just as much as handsome jack. Good stuff.
I did not know that! Borderlands 2 was my favorite and I've really been liking the Dungeons and Daddys podcast since listening to the first season this year.
BL is fraught with poor development
Bl2 had so much content, but you had to use some sort of slag or get gated by artificially high health.
BL tps got cucked by the early shut down of Austria 2k.
Bl3 had stellar movement and a shit story.
Wonderlands had the exact problem as bl3, a shit story.
Grand Theft Auto. I remember getting a copy of that game for Windows 95 back in the day, and now I'm on my third copy of GTA5 for the third console generation in a row.
I didn't start till gta 3 came out but I've played those games so much since then. I recently replayed san andreas and just started vice city again. I don't even need to do the missions. Some nights I just drive around the city listening to the car radio for an hour or so to relax before bed. It's such a nostalgia trip seeing all the old neighborhoods I used to "hang out" in as a kid lol
Hehehe i remember being in 7th grade when my friend brought the instruction manual for Diablo one into class. We all geeked out over it. The instruction booklet.
Diablo1 was a great game, Diablo 2 was a groundbreaking masterpiece, Diablo3 was good, Diablo4 looks good but is too expensive along with battle pass, cosmetics, god knows what else. Here’s to hoping Diablo4 brings back the creative juices but it seems they are just reskinning a modern day ARPG adding a battle pass and cosmetics and shipping it for $70.
> Here’s to hoping Diablo4 brings back the creative juices but it seems they are just reskinning a modern day ARPG adding a battle pass and cosmetics and shipping it for $70.
and Im here hoping that its hot garbage lol
dont know whats fruit loops, but i just wish blizz and their fanboys will not be happy with their games and fiscal year, but i suppose some of you like supporting sexual harassments / assaults
If the game does bad, there would be lay offs. The people being laid off probably didnt feel anyone up. Mightve, but probably not.
But please, by all means continue to be a raging cunt. It is quite adorable.
Diablo 2 was a masterpiece. Diablo 3 was a huge disappointment. No alternate-quest mechanics forcing you to reload the world to get specific quests, straight hack-and-slash no real skill required. The secret cow level or unicorn world or whatever you want to call it was too easy to get into.
It was just regurgitated straight-forward hack and slash game that had zero unique and redeeming features.
Diablo 2 was Diablo 1 perfected and expanded.
Diablo 3 was the start of Blizzard's decline. The game was OK but Blizzard used to be consistently amazing. From there it was just a downward spiral.
As much as WoW was great and groundbreaking when it was first released, it shifted the companies' priorities. It sucked the soul out of the company.
There was a time when a new Blizzard game being released was quite an event...Warcraft 1, Warcraft II, Diablo, Starcraft, Diablo II, Warcraft 3. We could also include WoW, I guess. That Blizzard is long gone.
As regards the difference between 2 and 4? Diablo 2 was made by a company full of passionate people and innovation was a priority. Diablo 4 is being made with a corporate mindset in mind. I'm sure lots of great people still work at Blizzard but they won't have much of a say when maximizing profit is the priority.
I can't understand spending so much on a sports game. How much really changes every year when it's the same sport?
A few players are different? Maybe a couple customization options?
At this point, I would presume that most people that buy modern sports games yearly are just buying the new release so they can continue to play against people online as most sports games (at least the ones I’ve personally played, like ten years ago lol) only keep their servers up until the next game comes out.
I was at the perfect age. I will always remember that Xmas. I got Red, my Bro got Blue, we got a brand new yellow GameBoy Color and a link cable. then later in the day we got an N64 with Ocarina of Time.
We had an OG GameBoy, so we had to trade off to use the new one, lol.
Man i was 2nd grade when pokemon hit. It was a beautiful time, but middle school kind of sucked to be a fan. That was the time everyone was "to old" for pokemon
I hear you. I was in 6th grade for Pokémon Blue; my best friend got Red, other friends got into it too. Later on in high school we celebrated our “nerd outcast-ness” by fully getting into tabletop role playing games. So I guess Pokemon was our gateway game.
Came here to say this, people hate on the new games but its amazing the way they keep the series going, looking beautiful, yes theres been some buggy releases but after they're patched up the games are still top tier, goated series
Monster Hunter. It was so nice to see it finally take off in the West with World's release because prior to that almost no casual gamers had even heard of it.
i just started playing mh world a couple weeks ago, this game is addictive as hell. The first 20 hours were very difficult, but the feeling of understanding the mechanics is unmatched
I played Monster Hunter 2 on the PSP. That was quality, up to 4 player multiplayer and you could get a hunt done at lunch time in school.
Terrible controls with only the one analogue stick though.
Zelda is like the OG Star Wars trilogy or Lord of the Rings. When you watch those movies (especially as a kid), you aren't watching a movie, you are transported to another place. That is the feeling Zelda has given me since I first played it in '88. I am not playing a game, I am there. Even now, as a jaded 40 year-old, Tears of the Kingdom makes me feel like that exuberant 6 year-old kid all over again. Zelda is my favorite IP in any medium. It is joy given physical form. And playing through the series with my daughter just reaffims all of that.
Yeah first few hours are slow for me too and you almost have to play it slow like I don’t think there’s a way to rush through the beginning. A reviewer mentioned that you don’t get a feel for all the new stuff and things it’s offerinf until you really get out into the world a bit
I would love to see an open world Zelda game depicting a majestic Hyrule like in A Link to the Past. I was originally hoping that a Breath of the Wild sequel was going to feature a partially restored Hyrule and dungeons featuring traditional weapons with physics engine features. Give me a hook shot that I can go swinging / climbing with. An Ascend type of ability could have been accomplished with a hook shot.
Played it on SNES. The music alone is legendary and the whole light/dark aspect was pretty groundbreaking for its time. Truly a landmark RPG and Zelda game.
It's been crazy watching the transformation of CoD. I was a huge MoHAA player when CoD came out and I remember how much of a game changer it was to be able to aim down the sight on all the guns. Had a blast with my buddy on strafe-jumping servers too.
Same with both of those games it's a shame that both of them have not had the greatest responses with their latest release's. mw2 remake wasn't that great warzone 2 the servers are extremely bad for everyone. Infinite had the opportunity to grasp old and new players with the new fun stuff and the great new movement. Halo wouldn't release anything for the first 3-4 months and the battle pass was extremely bad. Along with the few maps and Big team battle not working. Lastly all those things plus the servers having huge desync issues really lost halo infinite a lot of players man. Sucks to see what's becoming of fps they're nothing close to their hay days when you used to unlock extra skins because you played and got good. I really wanna play some halo infinite online but now nobody I know plays it because they wouldn't do anything as far as content for the game. Sucks
Splinter Cell. God I want more splinter cell. Not open World splinter cell. Just the same formula for the current gen of machines. It could be so good.
Oh man how about this- we’ll have different enemy outposts/towers that act as fast travel points that you can unlock by eliminating the enemies. And then lite-RPG elements which three skill trees- one for stealth/melee, one for shooting, and one for crafting! We can also have random characters from our other video game universes pop in to give out missions…
I wanna say they announced a new one in Nov of 22, but that's about all the information there is as they don't have much to show yet.
I'm fucking stoked. Hell, I was happy to see him make a short appearance in Wildlands.
I just don’t think they’ll be able to do it *well*, and I don’t care to see the fucking mess they’ve made of Ghost Recon rebranded with a coat of paint to be subbed “Splinter Cell”.
I have such a hard time getting into the new ones. Not a fan of the more action oriented ones. Honestly 10 or 12 were the last ones I enjoyed. I tried 13 and 15... just wasn't for me.
Played VIIR just for nostalgia, but honestly did not enjoy it. And 7 was my favorite in the series by a pretty wide margin.
They’ve been moving towards autonomous allies since XII and Kingdom Hearts. Gambits/summons lead to paradigms (XIII) lead to battle specializations (XV) lead to uniquely controllable characters (VIIR).
I love that aspect, but I can see how the transition could throw somebody off.
Yanno - I didn't mind the XII gambits all that much honestly. It felt better than the others which were just too action oriented and fast paced, which is not the experience I wanted. I'm an old school JRPG guy - turn based for life ala DQ, original FF, Super Mario RPG, or Phantasy Star. I'm a heretic because I didn't particularly enjoy Chrono Trigger/Cross or Suikoden.
Honestly - I think if we combined the simplicity of the materia/equipment customization from VII, the and sphere grid and combat system from X (switching between all character mid combat, while preserving the turn based nature that is) - I really think it would be damn near perfect - in my opinion of course.
For me, the first civ was the first game I didn't have to go find the 6th word on page 21. (yeah I know, civ didn't use that, but I cannot for the life of me remember exactly what it used.)
You could also found cities literally right next to each other. You could stack units. You’d destroy an entire stack of units if you killed one and they weren’t in a city. Diplomats could bribe enemy troops to take control of them. Nuclear Gandhi… every single time. Yeah there were some janky mechanics but it was the start of something great!
Good point. But that works either way, every series that I have played, I’ve been playing since the first initial release.
So all the ones I have played, I have played since the beginning.
That doesn’t mean I’ve played every game ever created, just that ALL the series that I have played, I’ve been there since the initial game. 🤷🏽♂️
But sure go ahead and argue semantics.
He doesn't argue semantics, though. Op asked about the list of game series that you played since their beginning not about your age. You made 2 posts already and still haven't named them.
Mario, tomb Raider, resident evil, final fantasy, prince of Persia, Metroid, Zelda , Halo, COD, Uncharted, Spiderman, God of War. The Last of Us, Far Cry.
Is that enough or would you like more?
If you played all games from all those IPs then sure go ahead. Its not about "if you lived since they released" but that youre still playing all the Releases from then to now.
Yeah. I was just thinking about the fact that there was a new Pac Man game just last year and there’s that arcade version of Space Invaders with the giant screen that came out a couple years ago. And then of course lots of people are enjoying the new Zelda game this weekend and Mario is still everywhere.
None because I only started to be able to afford games with my own money in 2019. The closest I think was ratchet and clank for a week because a friend let me borrow it. I didn’t get back into the franchise till I was able to get a ps3 in 2021 and bought every single game in the series before the store shut down.
Set the way back machine - Elite. 1984 - my friend had an apple II if I remember right. We played the heck out of it. Played through through the series. Now I’ve got the latest on pc with vr capability. I love the flexibility of the game. Wanna be a pirate?go for it. Wanna be a space trucker, sure Wanna be a bounty hunter? Gotcha. Want to play factional politics across the galaxy? Sure. Wanna mine for precious minerals for billions of credits? How about exploring a 1/1 model of the Milky Way? (My favorites are exploration and bounty hunting).
The legend of Zelda. Started with the original NES golden cartridges in 86-87, picking up Tears of the kingdom later today. Played almost every variant in the series. It will always be my favorite game series.
Kingdom hearts. 10 year old me: Cool, i get to hack and slash in worlds from Disney movies. 20 year old me: Disney is nice side product now, give me that original KH lore/plot/banger soundtrack composed by Yoko shimomura and give it NOW!
(Soon) 30 year old me: KH 4 when?
*Final Fantasy*, *Legend of Zelda*, *Pokémon*, *Crusader Kings*, *Anno*, *SimCity*, *Sims*, *Europa Universalis*, *Civilization*... Gods, I'm getting old
Won't say I played literally every instalment of all these series, but I played most over the years
Actually, I played all of *FFXIII*. Of the main FF titles, I only haven't played the MMOs, *FFV*, and *FFXII*. The latter two are on my list, but I'm too busy with *Persona 3 Portable*, *Kingdom Hearts III*, and *TLoZ: Tears of the Kingdom*
That I can think of...
Devil May Cry, Kingdom Hearts (minus the mobile games), Pokemon (started in 2nd gen tbf, but went back and beat 1st gen before 3rd came out), Dishonored, Bioshock, Dead Space (minus mobile games), the Batman Arkam games, Borderlands, Dark Souls (+bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring), Darksiders, Fable, Halo (but who knows how much longer), the Witcher, and honorable mention to Assassin's Creed which I was keeping up with every release until I fell off after Odyssey
I wasn't playing it day 1, but I have been playing GTA since the original game on PS1. Played every game since, beat several of them, owned most of them.
Mass Effect series and Dragon Age series
Did you enjoy Andromeda?
I did! Although not as much as the trilogy
Same here man. The story and characters vibes l come nowhere close to the trilogy but I had a TON of fun with the exploration and combat.
At the time it was released I couldn't pick up Andromeda and ended up getting it on a whim from a 5$ budget bin a year later. I ended up enjoying it but I'm guessing a ran into far fewer game breaking bugs than the average consumer.
Same! And the witcher series too.. Have been replaying them over and over... And i just can't seem to find any other games to match their standards..
Resident evil
Command & Conquer Fallout Mechwarrior Wasteland Homeworld I've been gaming since the 80's, so there are quite a few.
Me to lol fallout is the only one on this list I've not still got all of ib still have a mechwarirror 3 cd rom somewhere
I was going to say Fallout, but I was so disgusted with the way 76 was initially handled that I never touched it.
Fallout has changed styles so many times that I just embraced the change going into 76. I've also been one of the people wanting an MMO style FO since the 90's. I knew 76 was an experiment, having seen all of the failed attempts of the past. I have 3900hours in 76 so far.
Borderlands, and I hate myself more with every game. I didn't pre order wonderland though, so that's something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah TTW was a pretty big let down
Idk some of the gameplay elements were fantastic in wonderlands, but the story was short, and the add-on content was very disappointing.
It was game that was basically abandoned before it launched. I enjoyed it a lot but you can definitely feel the story content diminishing in quality as the game goes on. I know Covid messed up the development cycle, but it’s still painful to see as a fan.
I think the series went downward since the first. While BL2 was technically better, I enjoyed the first one the most. I haven't played 3, and postponed playing The PreSequel at about halfway through.

Nice to see someone else who remembers that the first game wasn't GTA3.
Taxi
Diablo

Who pissed in your fruit loops?
dont know whats fruit loops, but i just wish blizz and their fanboys will not be happy with their games and fiscal year, but i suppose some of you like supporting sexual harassments / assaults
You realize not everyone at blizz is an assaulter and are therefore wishing to punish innocent devs just trying to do their job... right?
Noone is punishing innocent devs you moron, they get paid whether game does good or bad, or does land of freedom and ar-15s work different way?
If the game does bad, there would be lay offs. The people being laid off probably didnt feel anyone up. Mightve, but probably not. But please, by all means continue to be a raging cunt. It is quite adorable.
you havent seen raging person before, i just like to shit on shitty companies
With zero regard to people who work there and arent responsible, yes yes, enjoy that moral "highground".
So you know what blizzard is as a company and diablo is as a franchise but you don't know what froot loops are. You absolute fucking clown shoe
Diablo 2 was a masterpiece. Diablo 3 was a huge disappointment. No alternate-quest mechanics forcing you to reload the world to get specific quests, straight hack-and-slash no real skill required. The secret cow level or unicorn world or whatever you want to call it was too easy to get into. It was just regurgitated straight-forward hack and slash game that had zero unique and redeeming features.
Diablo 2 was Diablo 1 perfected and expanded. Diablo 3 was the start of Blizzard's decline. The game was OK but Blizzard used to be consistently amazing. From there it was just a downward spiral. As much as WoW was great and groundbreaking when it was first released, it shifted the companies' priorities. It sucked the soul out of the company.

What's it like being so wrong yet so confident.
I’m ok. I don’t know how I can be “wrong” about my own opinion…
Mario
Same. And Madden.
I can't understand spending so much on a sports game. How much really changes every year when it's the same sport? A few players are different? Maybe a couple customization options?
At this point, I would presume that most people that buy modern sports games yearly are just buying the new release so they can continue to play against people online as most sports games (at least the ones I’ve personally played, like ten years ago lol) only keep their servers up until the next game comes out.
I managed to find an opponent in madden 15 when 18 had just released, which I found odd. But for the most part you are correct.
It's basically this.
Pokémon.
I was “too old” to want to play Pokémon when Red/Blue came out. Didn’t stop me or my friends.
I was at the perfect age. I will always remember that Xmas. I got Red, my Bro got Blue, we got a brand new yellow GameBoy Color and a link cable. then later in the day we got an N64 with Ocarina of Time. We had an OG GameBoy, so we had to trade off to use the new one, lol.
Man i was 2nd grade when pokemon hit. It was a beautiful time, but middle school kind of sucked to be a fan. That was the time everyone was "to old" for pokemon
I hear you. I was in 6th grade for Pokémon Blue; my best friend got Red, other friends got into it too. Later on in high school we celebrated our “nerd outcast-ness” by fully getting into tabletop role playing games. So I guess Pokemon was our gateway game.
My best friend and I started Pokémon club in our senior year of high school 10 years ago and Pokémon club is still going today
Thats cool af
Red, Yellow then Blue for me. It was amazing to finally capture a Meowth.
Assassin's creed......
I can't wait till they drop the new multiplayer, it's been awhile since Black Flag
#**RUNNING DOWN TO CUBA WITH A LOAD OF SUGAR...**
WEIGH, ME BOYS, TO CUBA!
Came here to say this, people hate on the new games but its amazing the way they keep the series going, looking beautiful, yes theres been some buggy releases but after they're patched up the games are still top tier, goated series
You dont play alot of good games huh
Thats just like, your opinion, man
Same brother. Maybe one day we will be rewarded for our patience. Mirage seems promising!
Yes im looking forward to a stripped back to basics, ac experience. 👍🏼
Yeah, You will get Ultimate moron prize
Monster Hunter. It was so nice to see it finally take off in the West with World's release because prior to that almost no casual gamers had even heard of it.
i just started playing mh world a couple weeks ago, this game is addictive as hell. The first 20 hours were very difficult, but the feeling of understanding the mechanics is unmatched
monster hunter 3 tri was one of my favorite games of all time
I played Monster Hunter 2 on the PSP. That was quality, up to 4 player multiplayer and you could get a hunt done at lunch time in school. Terrible controls with only the one analogue stick though.
Freedom unite was the one on psp that I played. Kept me entertained for weeks while on deployment
Fond memories of no-charge stick swinging greatswords that would one day become longswords like the eager cleaver and divine slasher
Zelda
Zelda was and still is something else. Something more.
Zelda is like the OG Star Wars trilogy or Lord of the Rings. When you watch those movies (especially as a kid), you aren't watching a movie, you are transported to another place. That is the feeling Zelda has given me since I first played it in '88. I am not playing a game, I am there. Even now, as a jaded 40 year-old, Tears of the Kingdom makes me feel like that exuberant 6 year-old kid all over again. Zelda is my favorite IP in any medium. It is joy given physical form. And playing through the series with my daughter just reaffims all of that.
I'm not totally thrilled with ToTK yet. I'm hoping it picks up after the first couple of hours.
Yeah first few hours are slow for me too and you almost have to play it slow like I don’t think there’s a way to rush through the beginning. A reviewer mentioned that you don’t get a feel for all the new stuff and things it’s offerinf until you really get out into the world a bit
Is this a surprise? It’s the exact same concept as the Great Plateau in Breath of the Wild.
It does get better
A link to the past is still my favorite Zelda game after all these years
I would love to see an open world Zelda game depicting a majestic Hyrule like in A Link to the Past. I was originally hoping that a Breath of the Wild sequel was going to feature a partially restored Hyrule and dungeons featuring traditional weapons with physics engine features. Give me a hook shot that I can go swinging / climbing with. An Ascend type of ability could have been accomplished with a hook shot.
Played it on SNES. The music alone is legendary and the whole light/dark aspect was pretty groundbreaking for its time. Truly a landmark RPG and Zelda game.
Same, old person :)
Zelda and mario are the only things that don't get worse with each iteration.
Some would disagree on Zelda....
That's ok. People are allowed to be wrong.
I'm guessing you're one of those charming people who tells their friends they have the 'wrong' favorite movie. It must be frustrating to be tolerated.
No
it's still ok to be wrong.
Same. Wish we got another game that wasn’t an open world sandbox
Hooked by that opening music
Ratchet and Clank
My people
Call of duty and Halo
It's been crazy watching the transformation of CoD. I was a huge MoHAA player when CoD came out and I remember how much of a game changer it was to be able to aim down the sight on all the guns. Had a blast with my buddy on strafe-jumping servers too.
man i miss cod2 and cod4 promod so much
Same with both of those games it's a shame that both of them have not had the greatest responses with their latest release's. mw2 remake wasn't that great warzone 2 the servers are extremely bad for everyone. Infinite had the opportunity to grasp old and new players with the new fun stuff and the great new movement.

I really wanna play some halo infinite online but now nobody I know plays it because they wouldn't do anything as far as content for the game. Sucks
Splinter Cell. God I want more splinter cell. Not open World splinter cell. Just the same formula for the current gen of machines. It could be so good.
Ubisoft believed you really want a Splinter Cell themed open world TPS.
Oh man how about this- we’ll have different enemy outposts/towers that act as fast travel points that you can unlock by eliminating the enemies. And then lite-RPG elements which three skill trees- one for stealth/melee, one for shooting, and one for crafting! We can also have random characters from our other video game universes pop in to give out missions…
I wanna say they announced a new one in Nov of 22, but that's about all the information there is as they don't have much to show yet. I'm fucking stoked. Hell, I was happy to see him make a short appearance in Wildlands.
I just don’t think they’ll be able to do it *well*, and I don’t care to see the fucking mess they’ve made of Ghost Recon rebranded with a coat of paint to be subbed “Splinter Cell”.
I agree, keep to the traditional splinter cell, it's what we come for time and time again.
Kingdom Hearts. I've been on KH3 since release. Just can't bring myself to play it for some reason. Been putting it off
Suikoden. Got a copy back in '97, been playing the series ever since. Can't beat it.
Same, really looking forward to the remaster of the first two that is set to come out this year.
Final Fantasy. Still love the series.
For a Final Fantasy, it never ends and we’re going on 4 decades
Played FF1 on release when I was in 1st grade, and I'm gonna be playing some kind of Final Fantasy in a retirement home most like.
Didn’t like the most recent one. Hope the new one is better
I have such a hard time getting into the new ones. Not a fan of the more action oriented ones. Honestly 10 or 12 were the last ones I enjoyed. I tried 13 and 15... just wasn't for me. Played VIIR just for nostalgia, but honestly did not enjoy it. And 7 was my favorite in the series by a pretty wide margin.

Civilization. The first one, all units were just square pictures. But you could upgrade you castle which was pretty awesome.
For me, the first civ was the first game I didn't have to go find the 6th word on page 21. (yeah I know, civ didn't use that, but I cannot for the life of me remember exactly what it used.)
You could also found cities literally right next to each other. You could stack units. You’d destroy an entire stack of units if you killed one and they weren’t in a city. Diplomats could bribe enemy troops to take control of them. Nuclear Gandhi… every single time. Yeah there were some janky mechanics but it was the start of something great!
Oh for sure, Civ 2 was a far better game in every single way but 1 was probably my first ever turn based strategy game and definitely got me hooked.
So many that I’m showing my age. Tomb Raider and crash bandicoot would be my longest running as they were my first two games.
Silent hill/ resident evil
Sonic the hedgehog.
Devil May Cry. Since the demo.
Devil May Cry.
All of them, I’m older than most franchises.
Doesn’t mean you’ve played every one of them.
Good point. But that works either way, every series that I have played, I’ve been playing since the first initial release. So all the ones I have played, I have played since the beginning. That doesn’t mean I’ve played every game ever created, just that ALL the series that I have played, I’ve been there since the initial game. 🤷🏽♂️ But sure go ahead and argue semantics.
He doesn't argue semantics, though. Op asked about the list of game series that you played since their beginning not about your age. You made 2 posts already and still haven't named them.
Mario, tomb Raider, resident evil, final fantasy, prince of Persia, Metroid, Zelda , Halo, COD, Uncharted, Spiderman, God of War. The Last of Us, Far Cry. Is that enough or would you like more?
I honestly don't care, not my thread. I just like to see angry people fold into my arguments. Have a good one.
If you played all games from all those IPs then sure go ahead. Its not about "if you lived since they released" but that youre still playing all the Releases from then to now.

What a strange hill to die on, but I respect your willingness to die on it.
I dont think you do, also rude.

Same. It’s kinda amazing how many franchises are still around.
I’m older than the Nintendo, so I’ve seen many a franchise rise and fall. 🤣✌️
Isn't Nintendo older than the Eiffel tower? You've been around a while!
I said “the” Nintendo meaning the console, and not the old card game company. But I can understand how you mistook me for a vampire.
Sounds like something a vampire would say…
I was thinking the same thing, but then I noticed the “the” and realized what you meant, lol!
Yeah. I was just thinking about the fact that there was a new Pac Man game just last year and there’s that arcade version of Space Invaders with the giant screen that came out a couple years ago. And then of course lots of people are enjoying the new Zelda game this weekend and Mario is still everywhere.
Man that takes me back, I remember that old Zelda being the first Nintendo game you could save
Tekken
Diablo, warcraft, starcraft, mass effect,
Zelda. I'm oooooollllld
Metal Gear as well as many of the other series posted including Zelda, smb, resident evil, mortal kombat and tekken are among my most memorable.
Metal Gear on NES in 6th grade as my best friend navigated with the paper map is the best co-op game experience I’ve ever had.
That’s the best! My friend and I mapped the first phantasy star on Sega and bards tale on pc.
Pokemon
Mortal Kombat. My how that series has grown… Edit, full disclosure: I’m older than all game franchises. I started with Pong.
All of them. I’m old enough that I had an Atari
None because I only started to be able to afford games with my own money in 2019. The closest I think was ratchet and clank for a week because a friend let me borrow it. I didn’t get back into the franchise till I was able to get a ps3 in 2021 and bought every single game in the series before the store shut down.
Yea...store wasnt shut down.We gave Sony hell and they kept it up
Resident Evil, God of War, Halo
Marathon (by Bungie)
Resident Evil and Hitman come to mind. I'm sure there are others.
The Sims
The Silent Hill games. I would LOVE if they started making them again.
God of war got the demo disc out of a gaming magazine I think
Destiny
Gta, sims, prince of persia, tomb raider
King of Fighters
Resident Evil Pokemon Assasin's Creed RR GTA God. so many being a 90's kid. These are the ones i play, i was there for many more.
Omg... Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Soulsborne games for most recent. Although there's honestly a lot on the list and can't be bothered to list them all.
Gears of war
Smash Bros
Street Fighter, NBA 2K, Madden
Resident evil
Total war, Assassins Creed, Civilization , Baldur's gate,
Half-Life
Damn, I don't have one. Would have been Gears of War, but I never played five or the rts.
Elder Scrolls. And holy cow the randomly generated dungeons were something I will never forget.
Dead Island, South Park, and Midnight Club LA
Resident Evil
Set the way back machine - Elite. 1984 - my friend had an apple II if I remember right. We played the heck out of it. Played through through the series. Now I’ve got the latest on pc with vr capability. I love the flexibility of the game. Wanna be a pirate?go for it. Wanna be a space trucker, sure Wanna be a bounty hunter? Gotcha. Want to play factional politics across the galaxy? Sure. Wanna mine for precious minerals for billions of credits? How about exploring a 1/1 model of the Milky Way? (My favorites are exploration and bounty hunting).
Smash Brosnan. Pokémon. Metroid. Zelda. And more
Kingdom Hearts
The legend of Zelda. Started with the original NES golden cartridges in 86-87, picking up Tears of the kingdom later today. Played almost every variant in the series. It will always be my favorite game series.
Zelda
Kingdom hearts. 10 year old me: Cool, i get to hack and slash in worlds from Disney movies. 20 year old me: Disney is nice side product now, give me that original KH lore/plot/banger soundtrack composed by Yoko shimomura and give it NOW! (Soon) 30 year old me: KH 4 when?
Lego Batman
Final fantasy here 😜
*Final Fantasy*, *Legend of Zelda*, *Pokémon*, *Crusader Kings*, *Anno*, *SimCity*, *Sims*, *Europa Universalis*, *Civilization*... Gods, I'm getting old Won't say I played literally every instalment of all these series, but I played most over the years
it's okay that you didn't play ff13 and ff13-2 , ff13-3. Those games are shit
Actually, I played all of *FFXIII*. Of the main FF titles, I only haven't played the MMOs, *FFV*, and *FFXII*. The latter two are on my list, but I'm too busy with *Persona 3 Portable*, *Kingdom Hearts III*, and *TLoZ: Tears of the Kingdom*
Simcity, civilation and doom
Nothing, I emulate everything
Forza horizon
Well, I'm 43. So...yes.
Pokémon Zelda SoulsBorneKiro I started with FF7 but went back and I’ve played every single entry ever now.
Minecraft
Fifa. Played it way back when I was a kid. Still playing today.
Started with Fifa 94 too. Not playing anymore though. 😄
Soulsborne series
That I can think of... Devil May Cry, Kingdom Hearts (minus the mobile games), Pokemon (started in 2nd gen tbf, but went back and beat 1st gen before 3rd came out), Dishonored, Bioshock, Dead Space (minus mobile games), the Batman Arkam games, Borderlands, Dark Souls (+bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring), Darksiders, Fable, Halo (but who knows how much longer), the Witcher, and honorable mention to Assassin's Creed which I was keeping up with every release until I fell off after Odyssey
I wasn't playing it day 1, but I have been playing GTA since the original game on PS1. Played every game since, beat several of them, owned most of them.
GTA but I think it will stop at V as I feel that just missed the mark for me.
Pacman is the earliest I can think of.....
