StaceyPowers Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 In this thread, @skyfire, @Alyxx and @The Blackangel mentioned that it may make more sense to be loyal to video games than to video game companies. I’m not sure I’d really say I am “loyal” per say to a particular franchise, because like a company, it may be subject to very large changes. But, perhaps I can relate in some way, as I may be more likely to try and look past flaws and appreciate bright spots in weaker games in a series if I love the series overall. What video games/series are you loyal to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 For me I would say I'm loyal to The Legend Of Zelda. Granted there are several that I flat out don't like. Wind Waker was too cartoony, Twilight Princess was just annoying with the whole wolf bullshit and the forced ability cutaways, Skyward Sword wasn't even a Zelda game. Those 3 I don't play. But aside from them, I'm a die hard fan, and have beaten almost every other Zelda game with just a few exceptions. I haven't beaten Oracle Of Seasons/Ages, Minish Cap, and BOTW. But that's because I just got into playing them recently. Older games from NES through N64 I have beaten. I did beat 4 Swords on GameCube as well, even though it wasn't really a true Zelda game either. But then again, neither was Majoras Mask, and I played the hell out of it. I'm not counting ROM-Hacks in this list. I have 2 out of the 3 that are available on SNES, and the games are so god damn hard I honestly wonder even IF I'll ever beat them.

kingpotato Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I was thinking a lot about this question , but in retrospective I dont think I'm loyal to any video game franchise, for most franchises I have few of each but not all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyxx Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I wouldn't say I am loyal to any game franchise either, though there are some franchises where I collect all the games, even the bad ones. StaceyPowers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only listed my favorite series or the ones I'd at least consider but I'm not sure loyal is the right word. I'd go more along the lines of being a fan.

skyfire Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 A lot I can think top of my list. Like say Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Street Fighters, Contra (the classic versions). And some of the new too like say darksiders, serious sam, etc. I am kind of loyal to most horror games franchise too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killamch89 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I'd also like to add the Hitman series, mainly the games from Blood Money back to the original Hitman. The AI is as dumb as rocks in the more recent Hitman games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Mafia, Resident Evil, GTA (before flying bikes used to exist), Hitman, i don't really want to mention other series since some of them have only few decent titles and the rest are bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 That I'm loyal to? Hmm, well I'd say the Super Mario Bros. Series, mainly the NES/SNES and classics. I will play pretty much any new Mario game I can though. 😄 GTA as well, but to be honest, it has lost my interest over the years. I will usually play them, beat them, test out online for a while and then be done until the next game releases. Others are; Metal Gear Solid, Call of Duty, Batman Arkham Series, and more.

The Arkham series is a really good call as well. I wonder if development on the new game has started already because if I'm not mistaken, Warner Brothers did confirm they were working on another one some time ago.

skyfire Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I think there are going to be updates on the arkham too. I heard the franchise is changing from this year or something. the license moved to another studio if I am not wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staticradio725 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 It's interesting that you guys brought up the Arkham series, because I have to wonder if some of that loyalty is just general loyalty to the Batman franchise in general, outside of that specific series of games? I mean, don't get me wrong, it's a good series. But the only reason I started playing it in the first place was because I'm just generally loyal to the Batman franchise, even though I'm really not a fan of superhero stuff in general.
