Favorite Game Series. (And Why)?

[Pa'li Makto]

Never really got into Mass Effect myself but each to their own.

My favourite video game series by far will always be Thief, particularly The Dark Project and The Metal Age..
There has been nothing like it, and I don't know if there really will be.
The focus on stealth, and clever use of sound and lighting was both innovative and immersive.

I also quite like the Elder Scrolls series, but Arena and Daggerfall are my favourite games.

I like to play Assassin's Creed I. (for PC) and AC Bloodline (for PSP). But my PC isn't very good, so sometimes it's just waiting for making a step or, when I'm fighting, I just see Atair on ground
On PSP it's another thing - it's just amazing.

Once upon a time, I would have written an entire list. But every game series I used to like.....

I loved Mass Effect series prior to #3. I still play the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer a lot but haven't really even attempted a playthrough of the single player game.


I used to like Gears of War, but merely rented 3 to beat the single player and have no interest in Judgment.
I used to like Halo a lot, but my interest waned with Reach. I didn't even bother to get Halo 4. I played it at a friends house and got bored halfway through the first mission.

I can't really point at a "series" of games anymore and say "Oh yeah, I like all of those games in that series".

I really like Mass Effect 1 and 2, although they're not my favourite games (couldn't decide on that...). I did try playing 3, but when the ending was spoiled for me, I got demoralised and stropped playing about halfway through, so I've never completed it. I was already annoyed with the multiplayer and paid day 1 DLC, so the lack of a good ending was just the end for Mass Effect as far as I'm concerned

Halo and Half-Life series, both equal favorites...still waiting on HL3 *sighs*

With the upcoming Fallout 4, I have to mention the Fallout series as one of the best ever made - both the classic games and Fallout 3/New Vegas are masterpieces in their own right, and definitely one of the series I've spent the most time in with more than a thousand hours on record.

Hugely excited about the upcoming game!

Amazi-threads XD

Lets see here,
The Elder Scrolls series (mainly Morrowind and Oblivion, Skyrim was good but not great)
Halo Series, especially the multiplayer on Halo: Reach
Dawn of War and its expansions. Dawn of War 2 sucked bottom.
The Souls games. Dark Souls was the best.
The Total War games predating Rome II. That was such a massive fail.
Borderlands series.
The Zelda games.
The Mario games.

So yeah.

Pokémon Red! My god, I still remember the day I got that on my game boy XD Excellent times.

My latest favourite game series is Borderlands. At the moment, I am putting many hours in to both Borderlands 2 and Borderlands The Pre-Sequel.

pokemon's gotten pretty bonkers hasn't it? started off w/ 150 and now we're at like, 721 including the unreleased legendaries for x/y and or/as

and not only can you train them, but you can feed them treats and rub their tummies and play little minigames with them in the most recent games and literally trade and battle w/ people from all over the world at your leisure

For me, it's Sonic the Hedgehog. I grew up playing the games, and watching the cartoons, and I just love Sonic.

[iron_jones]

Gonna have to go with Dragon Age or Elder Scrolls.

[Marvellous Chester]

Has anybody else played the XCOM games? This is one of my new favourites. I recently completed XCOM Enemy Unknown/Within and have just started XCOM 2. Very fun games, but challenging in parts.

[Ja'k Dawsiin]

my favorites are still the Half-Life games, HL1, HL2, HL2 EP1 and HL2 EP2, Lost Coast, Black Mesa Redux, and various mod levels. i still can't believe we will never see HL3.

i also absolutely love the Halo 1-3 universe, along with Halo ODST and Reach. awesome!!! i still play Reach constantly because of the insanely great Firefight Mode. Finish The Fight!
