| AngryLittleAlchemist said: I recently crossed one of the biggest franchises off my list - Devil May Cry. It has since become one of my favorite franchises and one of the most consistent, 1, 3, and 5 are all amazing. With that said there are a few: Animal Crossing - this has always been a case of "I'll wait till the next one comes out" syndrome. I just don't really see the point in going back and buying the old ones when it's a game centered around spending hundreds of hours in a cute glorified life simulation. I almost bought New Leaf multiple times - but this mentality always stopped me. Early last year I even thought Animal Crossing was going to come out in 2018 instead of Pokemon or Smash (as in, it would pair with one of those games and replace the other game it didn't pair with - since both Pokemon and Smash were quite heavily rumored for 2018). Obviously I'm going to have to wait a little longer than I expected but oh well, I'm excited to see what they do with the Switch game! Ninja Gaiden - I'm really only interested in Black, but in general more highly rated action games is never a bad thing and I'd love to play this series. Hopefully Team Ninja eventually reboots it or makes a fourth one. Metal Gear Solid - Not really an example of a franchise I haven't spent a lot of time with - I actually did beat 3 and almost finished Peace Walker. Even spent a good few hours in 2 and 5 (though I never got far into it). The problem is that I've never really wanted to play through the games in a non-release order. The HD collection was painfully incomplete without 1, and by the time 5 came out I didn't have my 360 anymore and couldn't access the HD collection. This just seems like the kind of franchise that is much better if you play them all, especially in order of release. I mean Devil May Cry isn't known for it's story and even with that series that was the case, just to see all the neat evolutionary stages of ideas that had shown up in previous games. If they made the Legacy collection (which includes 1) and put it on consoles I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Sly Cooper: Really just needs a good re-release. |
Yeah you're definitely right about Animal Crossing. Wait until the Switch version. I said it to someone earlier, but New Leaf might be worth it if they get rid of the mayor abilities in the Switch version, because being mayor was really fun. But they probably won't. Sly Cooper 1 is the only one I've played, but it's a great series and I hope they make a remastered rerelease of the whole series in a collection, that'd be so dope.
