I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere before, if not on some games website, because it's obvious the number 4 (or IV) is the most powerful number in gaming. Even if the game in question isn't actually the 4th iteration, somehow just having that number in the title makes a game AWESOME! The proof:
Call Of Duty 4
Resident Evil 4
Metal Gear Solid 4
Street Fighter IV
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Project Gotham Racing 4
Grand Theft Auto IV
Civilisation IV
Silent Hill 4: The Room (the last good Silent Hill)
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4
Left 4 Dead
The list goes on. Even some lesser examples are still good games, such as:
Devil May Cry 4
Gran Turismo 4
Dead or Alive 4
Quake 4
Virtua Fighter 4
Tekken 4
So it seems the number 4 is a powerful talisman for great games. Despite this fact, the highest rated game on Metacritic is Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with 99/100 and the 5th in the series. Oh well.
Is the number 4 the most powerful number in gaming?
No.
It just means that either people really like sequels, or it takes the developer 4 tries before he doesn't fuck it up.
"Naming DMC4? that's...surprising seeing as how bad that game was."What are you talking about? That game had the most polished combat I have ever seen in an action game, great boss battles and awesome graphics(both technically and when it comes to style). Sure, maybe it doesn't live up to it's predecessors, but anyone calling it a bad game must be out of their mind.

i really enjoyed 4, no where near 3 but i still very much enjoyed 4
Project Gotham Racing 3 was better than 4
GTA 3 had more impact on games
Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind was more impressive
plus Fallout 3, Halo 3, Warcraft 3, Diablo 3...
It's a silly argument, but I thought I'd play along.
"Elder Scrolls 4 is definitely not the best Elder Scrolls gameDon't be crazy! Maybe the others were more impressive for the TIME, but saying any of the other Elder Scrolls are better now is jsut insanity
Oh, and Dante telling us how he has sex."I'm sorry, but it was at that point I realized the game was awesome. Ridiculous cut scenes, ridiculous bosses, and interesting and fun move sets and weapons made a fun game for me.
"Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 is greatNo. Everything else, yes.
