Title: Which game series' do you keep up with and buy every game in?
Post by: Hollywood on October 21, 2006, 01:22:34 AM

Here's the ones for me - actually these are practically the ONLY games I buy exclusively anymore:

- Super Mario Bros (the true platforming games, not all the sports and party and other shit)
- Legend of Zelda (I still need to play the 4 swords games and a couple of the handheld games)
- Super Smash Brothers (I can't wait for the next one)
- Grand Theft Auto (Haven't played the 'stories' versions, I can't wait for part 4 though, it will kick ass)

Fire Emblem/Advance Wars.  Although I think I might be able to skip a new Advance Wars game after the DS version.

Zelda
Metal Gear
Final Fantasy

Are the heavy-hitter, must-have titles for me--where I do things like get the soundtrack or import the incomprehensible Japanese version, or buy foot-tall action figures because they have a freakin crocodile hat omg!!

2d Metriod and Castlevania are close.  3d Metroid is ok, but just hasn't clicked in a way that makes me feverishly-anticipate the next one.  Too bad they never did a 3d Castlevania, I imagine it would be something like God of War.

Then there are series that are similar but either haven't built-up a legacy in my mind--like Half-Life--or have been dropping off--like Soul Calibur or Prince of Persia.  Or beloved series that are either dead or had the life drained out of them--like Thief or Street Fighter--and series I really enjoyed but got my fill of, like Katamari.

huh.....

well... come to think of it....    none.

wow, every single series I've been interested in.. I haven't actually gone out to make sure I get all of those in the series.

I'd say warcraft, but I never cared to get warcraft 1....

I'd say Final Fantasy.. but once 10 was released... I never cared to buy it or anything after that..

I'd say Zelda...  but I never cared to actually buy windwaker.. or ANY of the gameboy ones...

I'd say metroid, but besides the NES one, and the second (which i didnt actually buy, i just had cousins bring it over on the gameboy and i beat it during a christmas), and then super metroid, and metroid prime 1..  (didnt buy #2, rented it to beat it).....   I guess but even then I didn't search for any of the hand held ones.


Fuck I have no specific series!  ;(

Pretty much Final Fantasy and that's it.  Now that they're expanding the Halo franchise, I'll probably buy everything that MS decides to crap out.  But usually I just wait to see impressions on the game and decide if I want to get it or not.

well just about anything but a few of the lesser know ones:


Way of the Samurai

Gundam Battle Assault

.hack RPGs

edit:

I also seem to always buy the Tony Hawk games when I haven't really enjoyed one since the THPS3.

Capcom 2D fighters


I'm really bad, especially for Street Fighter.  I not only always get the new release of the same game, but I buy it for every console too.

Nothing.  Plenty I would stay away from because of their series.
