[Multiplatform] Game Series you just stopped playing. Sonic is the correct answer, by the way.

Tsunade, please. You're just embarrasing yourself now. What with this and all:

It's just a thread on video games. Yes people have varying opinions, but there isn't a whole lot of SCIENCE behind it. Personal preference is what it's called. There's just really no need to sustain such a weak argument; it's stuff like this that makes certain Video Game threads at GFF unbearable.

AS FOR THE THREAD

I would say Suikoden, if it weren't for Suikoden V. Seriously if Suikoden V were along the same lines of III, IV and Tactics, then I would consider losing complete interest in the series. Those three games were pretty horrible (I actually want the time I spent playing Tactics back...it was that bad). Suikoden III's story was intriguing to a certain level, but the game mechanics and design was cringe-worth to say the least. It was as if Konami was trying to conform with the rest of the market, toying with the incredibly successful Suikoden formula. And I hate having to resort to the sailing factor for Suikoden IV, but DAMN THAT WAS ANNOYING! A much cleaner, more Suikoden-y game than III, but it still needed a lot of work. And all of that was fixed in Suikoden V, which is an amazing game. So in summary, I was on the edge with the Suikoden series, but it's all fine now, yeah~ (Suikoden II (and I) will remain my favourite game ever so it'll always be tough for installments to match that standard; V came fairly close, though.)

I've got a few series I could mention, but I guess the main one is Pokemon. I loved the first subseries (Red, Blue, Yellow), and the second was awesome too. My interest sort of waned a bit at Ruby etc, and almost completely dropped with Diamond and Pearl. Chances are that if they continue the same basic formula with hackneyed pokemon designs, then I'll just stop playing. What the series needs is a Wii installment with advanced use of the remote. (Also I dislike the people who complain about the GB-era pokemon noises; I think they're fantastic, and if they changed them I'd definitely lose interest!)

Final Fantasy almost creeps into this thread topic; I played XII but just couldn't get into it, even though it looks like a damn fine game on paper and in practice. =/ As lame as it sounds, I do have high expectations for XIII (I'm more skeptical about vsXIII actually). And I never got into XI. Damn Playonline kept charging me after I'd stopped playing the game for about 4 months. Shit service, that one.

I don't think anything in the series will reach the standards set by VI and VII. (VII IS A DAMN GOOD GAME AND YOU SUCK IF YOU SAY OTHERWISE...<-- this isn't fanboyism, it's just appreciation of an objectively good game.)

Jam it back in, in the dark.
