Well, you've got to admit, after living so many years together in the top of that mountain, some spark of love might ignite, don't you think? It doesn't help that Sorey treats Mikleo different than everyone, whenever on a cutscene, a battle victory pose or a skit.

It's not a bad franchise but a meh one but I thought the original Crysis was good ...

-The original Chibi-Robo! was incredible, but every game following it has been terrible.

-The first two handheld Sims games (Bustin' Out and Urbz) were fantastic. They played like a combination of an open-world RPG and the mainline Sims games and were fantastic. The Sims 2 after them was good too, but the quality fell off of a cliff after that.

Have you played Colors? It plays very similarly to Generations, just without the classic Sonic sections. Generations is still my favorite though. The Sonic Rush games for DS are also pretty similar, just boost Sonic in 2D.

I've yet to play Colors, but I've hear dreally good things about it, I should check it out one day.

I also did play Rush, and yeah, Rush was a solid game, I just forgot about cause I usually think about the console Sonic games before the portable ones.

I see that a lot. A lot of people say that the Sonic franchise has been straight trash since the Adventure games while quietly ignoring the consistently solid Advance and Rush games. It saddens me immensely.

Edit: Colors is really good, my only reservatin being that around a solid 70-90% of the game is 2D, don't go in expecting the 2D to 3D ratio that modern Sonic in Generations had. It's still a great game regardless.

Assassin's Creed II. It's not just the best of the franchise, it's the only one that's actually really good. Don't fool yourself, you know it's true.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I'd argue that Brotherhood and Black Flag are good, though a big reason why Black Flag is good is because it's barely an Assassin's Creed game. You'll get no significant arguements from me for the rest of them though, especially not Rogue or III.

The 2003 Prince of Persia reboot was good, all the rest that followed were meh, and I never cared for the originals back in the day.
