And Mario would be the franchise, I'd replace with Deus Ex, if 2 games can't count as a franchise as FF-Fan was talking about. I don't find most of the games in the Mario series phenomenol like many people here. But for the most part they are always enjoyable, with a few masterpieces sprinkled in. And the franchise that's most fun with friends, Mario Cart, Party, Old NES ones where you switch everytime you die. The new 2D ones.

No, you misunderstood me. I just don't think any 2 games could stand up to a series as awesome as Mario or Zelda or FInal Fantasy. Although StarCraft and Diablo II (different series obviously) would be at least in the same ballpark.

1) Dragon Quest

2) Warcraft

3) Heroes of Might and Magic

As much as I love so many other franchises (Sonic, Mario, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Pokemon for example), they aren't consistently good enough to be in my top three.

:D

I don't really think I did. On a basis of How much better, I like Deus Ex 1 over any other say mario, zelda game by a whole lot. And I like Deus Ex 2 better than Every Mario and Zelda but 1.

I will create a bad hypothetical. If I Had to choose To get my mind wiped of the many great mario games I can think of a lot, or the 1 sublime and 1 great deus ex games. I would get rid of my mario memories.

Thus is why I chose.

Other people I cannot speak for.

This has been done a million times and its always Zelda or Mario. I'd say Gran Turismo but it never comes close on this site even though GT games outsell Zelda games.

Yes, you really did.
"if 2 games can't count as a franchise as FF-Fan was talking about."
That is completely incorrect as to what I was talking about. Two games can be a franchise (e.g. Crono Trigger/Cross) but I disagree that any two games put together can be better than all Mario games put together.
