4 Has been a very tainted number for me so far.

DMC4 bored couldn't stomach more than 1 hour of it.

MGS4 got bored playing it and same goes for GTA4 still haven't finished either.

Tekken 4 was worse than tekken tag tournament.

SC4 jury is still out on that one but the dreamcast version of the first one is still my fave.

I'm just hoping SF4 turns out good.

PGR4, COD4, GTAIV, Civilization IV, Resident Evil 4, SWAT 4 and MGS4, where, in my humble opinion, far better than the others before them.

But there are counterexamples. Soul Calibur IV is weaker than the 1 and 2, DMC4 was a bit disappointing and Quake IV is shit in a tuxedo. More, Dead or Alive 4...DOA is gettin' shittier by the numbers, Worms 4, Simon the Sorcerer 4, Silent Hill 4, GT4... The list goes on. There are few honorable exceptions, but from my experience, most series go down the drain after the 2nd installment.

DMC4 was alright,but nothing special.

MGS4 has a lot of boring parts, number 1 is the best. Number 4 biggest weakness is answering every retarded question possible.

GTA4 while a better game it removed all the fun factor that GTA series had.

Grandia 3(4) I don't know about this one, I loved 1 and 2 and hated extreme, number 3 still needs to be played.

Seriously? I found CIV III far better.

 

I only really joined MGS and DMC at 4, and GTA at 3

So many uninspired sequels, it's really sad to think what's happening to gaming.

Zelda: Loz, AoL, LttP, LA.

They got better in leaps and bounds each time, and the 4th is the best Zelda ever made.

Super Mario Bros.: 1, 2, 3, World.

3 and 4 are virtually tied. It's hard to pick a favorite.

Mega Man: 1, 2, 3, 4.

2 is the definite peak, although 3 added Rush, Proto Man, and the slide move, and 4 added the charging mega buster, so they're also awesome as hell. And 3 gets bonus points for having all the bosses from 2 in it.

Final Fantasy: 1, 2, 3, 4.

4 is the best, hands down.

Contra: 1, Super C, Contra III: The Alien Wars, Contra 4 DS.

3 is the best. 4 comes close with great fanservice.

Sonic: 1, 2, 3, Sonic and Knuckles.

2 is the best, hands down.

1)WWF War Zone,
2)Attitude,
3)Wrestlemania 2000,
4)No Mercy- yup, definitely the best wrestling game, and Smackdown 4 was ths best in that series. Unfortunately there wasn't even a Day of Reckoning 3......

RE4 was awesome. The Inventory system was perfect and put the ailing series back into the limelight (of AAA status).

I really want to play MGS 1-3

Megaman X: X5 was actually my favorite. X4 was great though.

GTA Vice City was awesome but GTA3 is my personal favorite. That one Agallah song, "All That We Got"....tough. Plus, I liked Claude as a main character. Vice City was a little too similar to Scarface so GTA3 felt more original.
