Only Liking Certain Games in a Series

Post by **Forlorn Drifter** » Sat Mar 16, 2013 12:56 am

I think this is something that I personally need to talk about, considering it is something that always has and more than likely always will aggravate me.

Sometimes, I only like certain games in a series. For most, it is of little issue. For those like me, it is something that will drive you flipping mad. For the most part, it bothers me to say I only like certain games in a series, due to the fact it makes me feel like less of a fan of that series. For example, I'll use the Witcher series. I love the second game to death, and then some. The first game? Ehh... I didn't like the combat. It didn't feel like I was in the action, more like I was watching the action. The story was good and all, but the gameplay didn't work for me like it did in the second.

Another reason I have issues with it is story. I'm a story geek. If it has story enough to matter, I will cling to it. Gears of War, for example. Its a stupid, thin, and simple story, but I love it for whatever odd reason. I love the whole universe. But many things are making me question the upcoming game, which looks somewhat half assed, and is being made by a different developer.

What are your thoughts? Suggestions? Opinions? Squids?

The first thing I thought of when I saw this thread was Final Fantasy.

Yep, Final Fantasy is the most obvious pick.

Star Ocean is another series that's been brought up recently in the RPG forum. Not a fan of the newer games.

Another time I have issues with it is when I can't get the whole series on the same console. My example is my wariness of what console I'm buying next gen, and the fact that I have the 360 version of Witcher 2. I think I'll go nuts if I have to buy Witcher 3 on PS4.

I have this problem, but I'm fine with it so long as I can own all the games on the same companies systems.

For example, again: Final Fantasy. It's impossible to have them all on the same system, but I IS possible to have them all on Sony systems.

I don't think there's anything that says you have to like every game in the series to be a fan of that series. This rings especially true with large franchises. You can be a Mario fan and dislike Super Mario Sunshine, for example.

Yup. The DS remake was ported to PSN as a PSP/Vita title.

Why is this an issue?

Eh, just a visual satisfaction problem I guess. Not sure.
