I'm altering Matlock's OT topic for games. Basically, think up of a game series and think about what games would be better off not in the series, basically.

For Resident Evil, my personal vote goes to Resident Evil Survivor.

 

[Matlock]

Marathon would be better if they left out Marathon 4: Halo.

 

[Prospero]

Marathon would be better if they left out Marathon 3: Halo.

IAWTP, but isn't Halo technically Marathon 4? (Marathon; Marathon 2: Durandal; Marathon Infinity.)

 

[Matlock]

Good point, and noted in the original post.

 

[Mike Works]

In before Metal Gear Solid 2, Zelda 2, Mario Sunshine, and a billion other high profile games which will garner the usual reactions from the usual people.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Phantasy Star III could've been scrapped to make the series a bit more cohesive. Still, PSIII had some truly interesting ideas.

 

[MrPing1000]

Fifa...... all of them

 

[Phoenix]

Zelda without Macharana through Time.
Ultima without Ascension, the utterly unplayable game
Final Fantasy without 8

 

[Matlock]

Final Fantasy without the games after 8

And, an obligatory "fixed."

 

[Son of Godzilla]

C&C Tiberium Sun. Still can't forget THEPAIN

Pac-Man Fever
Kirby Air Ride

And that obnoxious new Gordon game Valve released via steam a month or so ago.

 

[Limedust]

The Legacy of Kain storyline probably wouldn't be the mess it is had Blood Omen 2 not been released.

 

[DCharlie]

Arcade Star Wars series : Return of the Jedi.
The wire frame thing was going so well, then we got this shitty isometric turd pile.

Gauntlet series : All beyond Gauntlet 2
It just didn't work beyond G2.

 

[cvxfreak]

I decided to add Super Mario Bros. 2 from Japan. Yeesh.

 

[AeroGod]

Tomb Raider!!!

 

[Shouta]

Everything after Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals.

 

[SantaC]

Final Fantasy without the games after 9

fixed it again.

Plus that FF9 is the best FF so far.

 

[Hotsuma]

Arcade Star Wars series : Return of the Jedi.
The wire frame thing was going so well, then we got this shitty isometric turd pile.

Gauntlet series : All beyond Gauntlet 2
It just didn't work beyond G2.

Gauntlet 4 for Genesis was cool. I wonder what part 3 was about?

Sonic without Sonic Spinball, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, and Sonic R.

 

[DCharlie]

Wasn't Gauntlet 3 the isometric C64/Spectrum version or something like that?

I'll have a look.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Gauntlet 3 was the Lynx game, I believe.

 

[firex]

The Paper Mario series without Super Mario RPG

Xeno series before it even got started

 

[Bauer Action Hour]

Sonic series (the core series, not offshoots like Spinball, Shuffle, 3-D and R) minus Adventure 2 and Heroes.

Final Fantasy minus 8, 10 and 10-2.

Mario minus 64 and Sunshine

Tokyo Xtreme Racer minus part 2 and Zero.

Mario Kart minus Double Dash

Street Fighter minus 1 and 3 (New Gen only)


That's all I can think of right now.

 

[hobbitx]

Legacy of Kain without pretty much everything that came after Soul Reaver.

 

[Kobun Heat]

Seiken Densetsu minus SD3, Legend of Mana, and Sword of Mana. Yes, that only leaves two games but the quality skyrockets.

Final Fantasy without X-2. (You knew that was coming.)

Four Swords without Tetra's Trackers. OH SNAP

Boktai without Boktai.

 

[Bigfoot]

That Prince of Persia 3D game that came out before Sands of Time (Pop, Pop2, and SoT all rock).

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Escape From Monkey Island
Super Mario Sunshine and Yoshi's Island
Majora's Mask
Final Fantasy 8, 10
Actraiser 2

 

[Arcticfox]

Actraiser 2

I can't agree with you more. I have never been so disappointed by a game in my life.

 

[TAJ]

Metroid series - Metroid Prime
Resident Evil series - RE Gun Survivor games
Metal Gear series - Snake's Revenge
Contra series - Contra Force and Contra: Legacy of War
Castlevania series - Castlevania 64

Mario series - SMB2 USA and SMS
GTA - GTA and GTA2
Ninja Gaiden - Ninja Gaiden arcade
Myth series - Myth III: The Wolf Age

 

[DopeyFish]

Zelda - remove Majora's Mask and OoT.

 

[Anyanka]

MK series could really do without Special Forces, Mythologies and all portable versions except MK II on Gameboy.

 

[etiolate]

Final Fantasy minus 8 and mystic quest.
Street Fighter minus 1 andthe EX games.

 

[Red Dolphin]

Mario minus 64

Metroid series - Metroid Prime

Zelda - remove Majora's Mask and OoT.

What is wrong with some of you ppl?

 

[Mike Works]

That Prince of Persia 3D game that came out before Sands of Time (Pop, Pop2, and SoT all rock).

This is the best possible answer.

 

[nubbe]

MM X5-X7, by the looks of it X8

 

[Tellaerin]

Final Fantasy minus FF VIII

Unreal series minus Unreal II and UT2k3 (leaving Unreal, Unreal Tournament, and UT2k4)

King of Fighters minus every KoF after '99

 

[Razoric]

Killer Instinct 2 / Gold
Devil May Cry 2
Mortal Kombat 3/4
Mario Kart 64
Driver 2/3

 

[User 406]

Twisted Metal without 3 and 4.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Twisted Metal without 3 and 4.

The best thing about those was the commercial made for one of them. I forgot which one it was, but it was the one where the "Blow sh!t up" quote started.

 

[ElyrionX]

Devil May Cry 2

 

[Guzim]

Plus that FF9 is the best FF so far.

Someone else who agrees
