Best series, metal gear solid
Cant call it the best franchise because of all the other lovely rear end metal gear games bringing down the average

Which ones? I think all the mainline ones are p. great even if MGSV is clearly unfinished. Twin Snakes is kind of dumb asf as a remake but still a fun game. The AC!D games are hugely overlooked imo, love them. Peace Walker is great. Ghost Babel is impressive as a GBC game and I enjoyed it as a kid. Metal Gear 1 and 2 were still a blast when I replayed them recently, tho I've p much memorized them so the cryptic stuff wasn't a problem. Revengeance absolutely rules.

Even Survivor was kinda fun with some friends even tho there's zero reason for it to be called Metal Gear and it's definitely only average at best.

Portable Ops was kind of poo poo I guess. Very underbaked compared to Peace Walker and the story def feels like knock-off MG.

What am I missing? There's some phone game that takes place between MGS1 and 2 that I never played.

Definitely one of the best franchises IMO.

One of my favorite memories is being part of that zeitgeist, on these forums. People talked to me about how great MOO was, I never played either of the two, but man everybody was sooooo psyched about 3. And I bought it on day one as well.

We all came to the same conclusions about two hours in. A few pages into the thread and we had all gone from ecstatic joy to "hey does anyone else think this game is not good...?"

Monkey Island is definitely an absolutely massive favorite of mine but Escape is not good and Guybrush is insanely off-putting in that one because the new writers did not get him at all.

tetris is one of the few series where every sequel was an improvement on the game before it without the quality dropping off

Fatal frame is my favorite ghost-centric video game series.

Ignore the incest subplot in the 5th game. Nope that poo poo never happened.

Hmm, I think we've got an up-and-coming contender here. Pee Superman may or may not be a sufficiently legally distinct protagonist, but that should become a moot point sometime during the 2030s. In any event, it definitely gives more of what I wanted from Duke Nukem Forever

Just my humble opinion, all the mainline ones are awesome including peace walker (the original mgs 5, before they made the game called MGS 5.) Twin Snakes is also on the good list.
Acid, portable ops, gbc, the nes versions, are all just not any fun, so any cool stuff they did (which i acknowledge is a hell of a lot) is hard as gently caress to appreciate and not worth it imho. Metal Gear Survive can go gently caress itself in every way.
Revengeance, i haven’t played, but I'm inclined to see it positively

Yeah kinda this, even though I love a lot of the individual games

It's a shame that Metroid has one obvious black mark on the franchise because otherwise it would be a slam dunk mention. Can we pretend that never happened?

I got Yakuza 0 for my computer but the title screen says I'm not a real Yakuza cause I don't play it with a controller but I'm not about to buy the stupid rear end adapter or whatever you need to use a goddamn Microsoft XBox controller with my Microsoft Windows computer the loving pieces of poo poo you know it doesn't actually need that to work and they are just doing this to squeeze an extra $30 out of you because gently caress you that's why

Anyway I like the far cry games a lot
