I'd have to say Metal Gear (Solid) is mine. I'm trying to think of other series that have a bunch, I know Nintendo has their games, like Zelda, Mario, and what have you, then there's Final Fantasy... Well, yeah, I guess mine would have to be the Metal Gear series. I'd like to know what yours are, and maybe that'll even help me recall some other great series of games out there. Oh, and I guess the reason behind me liking the Metal Gear series the most, especially the Solid games, is because to me, they're all consistently fantastic, and interesting to me, I can't say the same for others out there, or at least I don't think I can. Oh yeah, there's Assassin's Creed, but to me, those are almost episodic in a way, as if from AC2 to Revelations was one game, and I still think MGS is better anyways, but still, there's that.

The Warcraft franchise has always been a favorite of mine, even before the MMO.
The lore is pretty solid and its quite the world they have thought up.
 
My Nintendo heart makes me say Zelda, but I found that to be a too obvious first answer.

Hah, Metal Gear Solid is mine too. And probably Final Fantasy, allthough those games aren't actually a series in the same way.

#4 Posted by JacDG (1949 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

Fifa, Madden, Call of Duty, Ratchet and Clank.

#5 Posted by Elazul (1317 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

I think all of the 2D Castlevania games are pretty damn amazing. I can discount the 3D ones, right?

If not, I don't know, Metroid? The Elder Scrolls? Rock Band? It's pretty hard to think of a great series that doesn't have any glaring low-points.

#6 Posted by MooseyMcMan (8549 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

Hm. Probably The Legend of Zelda.

#7 Posted by Hizang (8536 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago
  • Metal Gear Solid.
  • Ratchet and Clank.
  • Mario.
  • Pokemon.
#8 Posted by Wesker411 (75 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

Metroid for sure, also Resident Evil.

#9 Posted by Canteu (2190 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

Probably Star Ocean and the Tales of... games.

#10 Edited by gaminghooligan (822 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

MGS, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, and now UFC

EDIT: all the RE games before 5

#11 Posted by MonetaryDread (1453 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago
  • Disgaea
  • Fallout
  • Elder Scrolls
  • Unreal
#12 Posted by morrelloman (570 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

Ass Cred and God of War come to mind. Even tho there are only 3 proper of each.

#13 Posted by kumquat (128 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

If we're talking about main games in the series and not spinoff bullshit, probably Resident Evil.

#14 Posted by Dunsky5 (8 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

Kirby (itleast the ones on the NES & N64) and Mega Man.

#15 Posted by BaneFireLord (2266 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

Elder Scrolls, Fallout and Civilization.

Oh yeah, Resident Evil, thanks for reminding me. I can't believe I forgot about that.

Highest highs? Zelda.

In terms of consistency? Metal Gear

Online
#19 Posted by Master_Funk (637 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

Persona, Elder Scrolls, Tony Hawk, GTA and MGS

#20 Posted by CheapPoison (570 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

I find it really hard to come up with an answer...

I love a lot of series with more then 3 games.. but not loving them all.

Probably zelda is my my most obvious answer. Assassins creed might end up in here and i want to say darksiders but i haven't even played the second one yet.

The other ones i have loved haven't hit gold with me on every game, let alone 3 or 4.

#21 Edited by Karkarov (1906 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

More than 3? That is a bit limiting, like I would have said Mass Effect, or Saints Row, but not now.

So more than 3?

I would have to say my top 5 would be (in no particular order) Elder Scrolls, Metal Gear Solid, Persona, King's Field, and Grand Theft Auto. Honorable mentions to Devil May Cry, Resident Evil, and Castlevania.

#22 Posted by Gargantuan (1809 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

Halo

#23 Posted by falserelic (2564 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

Resident evil before it became an action movie....

#24 Edited by Brackynews (3313 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

This would be a lot easier if it was "3 or less". I can't fudge together Xenosaga/gears. It's not proper. ;)

I've never met a Kirby game I didn't like. (Even Air Ride.)

Runner up is a tie for all of Metal Gear, and all of Metroid (Met-a!) Only Portable Ops(+) holds MG back, I even liked Ac!d 1 and 2. For pure hours played, MG wins. For personal ownership, Metroid wins.

Castlevania, Zelda, Mario etc. all have too many wildcards. But in another thread I put Zelda II in my permanent top 3. ;)

#25 Posted by c0l0nelp0c0rn1 (1636 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

Super Mario Brothers franchise.

Resident evil. Mass effect of you count the iOS games

#27 Posted by JoeyRavn (4397 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago
#28 Posted by Wesker411 (75 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

Star Wars count? Tie Fighter, Rouge Squadron, KOTOR, the 3 platformers on the SNES were awesome too.

#29 Posted by StarvingGamer (5942 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

Favorite would have to be Final Fantasy, followed closely by the Capcom VS. series.

#30 Posted by SJSchmidt93 (4834 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

Metal Gear. GTA4 and RE5 dissapointed, MGS4 did not.

#31 Posted by mandude (2520 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

I like a lot of series with more than three games, but Final Fantasy is the only one I can think of where I like more than three of the games from it.

#32 Edited by BabyChooChoo (3578 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

Darkstalkers

Harvest Moon

#33 Posted by PeasantAbuse (4765 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

DK 3 is totally underrated.

Metal Gear

Mass Effect

Assassin's Creed

Uncharted

God Of War

That's Probably the order my favorites are in.

Well technically you got the IPOD/IPAD games for ME so even if you don't like those maybe Mass Effects 1-3 ae so awesome it negates the mediocrity/badness of the IOS games.

#38 Edited by Enigmatical (123 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

Without a doubt, Ratchet and Clank.

I have absolutely enjoyed every single one of the games in that series (except All 4 One, which I haven't played).

#39 Posted by Hunter5024 (2690 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

Probably Final Fantasy cause I'm a boring asshole. Usually in longer series I feel like they almost always drop the ball eventually.

RE4 was fine it was something new at the time, but then came RE5 which took more of the action route.

I never liked RE before 4 and I really enjoyed 5, I hope 6 is just fucking insane.

The Elder Scrolls

SMT Persona

Halo (single player)

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six

Dragon Quest

Don't worry capcom is looking to not disappoint you. From what I've seen its going to be so much action it will make Micheal Bay jealous.

#44 Posted by Cyrus_Saren (465 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

Suikoden. Even though IV is horrible. Also Zelda and Metal Gear Solid.

Fire Emblem, Persona, Pokemon.

#47 Posted by PlowDriver (22 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

I'm gonna say my consistently favorite multi-game series would have to be civilization. Those games are always able to suck me in and make me play them 8 hours strait.

#48 Posted by Timing (487 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago
#49 Posted by Svenzon (542 posts) - 9 months, 12 days ago

Metroid, The Elder Scrolls, Zelda, Fallout. Probably forgetting something. Almost typed Monkey Island, but then I remembered that series only has 2 games.
