Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1812 Joined: 8 Apr 2008     | Finally got a look at that list. The absence of Battlefield and Burnout saddens me. Also, less saddened, but Sims/SimCity I'd consider two very different franchises. Ah well. Good to know John Funk likes Pokemon and Warcraft. I learn something new everyday! ;) |

It's also a legacy? (13 seasons) |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 804 Joined: 20 Jan 2009     | I picked less than 32. I felt I picked all the deserving and then some doubtful ones too by the time I reached 17. Too much average stuff. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1575 Joined: 3 Dec 2008     | Agree with Mr. Funk whole heartedly on the pokemon game mechanics. And how it's not just for kids; I think Pokemon will be getting my vote. Also loved the fact that he's talking about complex strategy and the video shows the starter fighting a starly possibly the least strategic fight ever "I only know two moves, and I'm never gonna use growl" |

What about a six-pack of lvl 50 Pikachus? Surely that would have made for a battle of wits, with chess-like strategy. :P |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4101 Joined: 23 Apr 2008    | I disagree with the Elder Scrolls series in some ways - Morrowind I didn't really like, and Oblivion had the hollow eyed characters in frankly tiny cities for the real world - an uncanny valley effect really.
Battlefield, definitely, should be in there! Its the best game at large scale team based multiplayer (at least, on maps without aircraft to screw everyone else over). |
BANNED  Posts: 2513 Joined: 3 Dec 2008   | You're right Funk, Eevee is awesome. I kind of wish that you Russ and Funk had gotten to explain their final ones in more detail. It was really just a passing mention. Almost every other one had an explanation, but Half- User was banned for: The artist in thee. (Permanent) |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1016 Joined: 21 May 2008   | I know what it's like to mostly stick to one area in an Elder Scrolls game. I haven't played Morrowind in years, and I still remember where everything in Balmora is.
No. I love the old Megaman games, loved 9 as well. X I enjoyed the first 3 games. Heck, I liked the first 4 Battle Network games, especially Battle Network 2. Zero was fun, at least the first game was. You're not alone, don't worry. |

And no Baldur's Gate either.. *sniff* Baldur's Gate is so awesome! I think I'm going to install BG1, TOSC, BG2 and TOB again, and start with one character which I will export through the whole series! Wooah! |

Crunch was demonstrating his ability to take something I said completely at random and make ridiculous video out of it. "It was you!" |

Yep, Balmora was my favorite spot in Morrowind, too. :) |

Truly these are the end of times, repent before it is too late. REPENT!! *runs in circles for five minutes then curls up into a ball for a nap* |
Beat Writer  Posts: 158 Joined: 11 Sep 2008    | I would go with the Thief series of games // They where one of the first games that I played which where opened world and I enjoyed the plot/storyline behind what I was doing, rather than just going from point A to point B and collect/kill things on the way I got so involved that I just wanted to replay ever lvl to find all the hidden loot and listen in on all the nps talking Good times -M |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1061 Joined: 16 Apr 2009   | I'll have to agree with John here and say Zelda and Pokemon. I've always loved those series' games. Everyone is just hours of fun play time. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 86 Joined: 10 Sep 2008   | Metroid and Zelda are my two favorite legacies. I've actually been replaying Super Metroid recently. Castlevania is up there too. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3767 Joined: 29 Dec 2007  | I loved cheydinhal, saved up as much gold as I could so I could buy the house their and have more of an excuse to visit. The man with a Poke' ball on his shirt likes Pokemon? I never saw it coming.

But we're talking about the games and honestly, for the most part...Star Wars games are pants. :( |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3204 Joined: 13 Jan 2009    | sounds like its gonna be great. ill be backing Warcraft and Call of Duty all the way. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3204 Joined: 13 Jan 2009 |
i must disagree. they are a few gems hidden in the pockets. Star Wars Battlefront, KOTOR, The Force Unleashed, and a few i havent heard about. |
Senior Editor Posts: 2278 Joined: 9 Jan 2007 |
Yes, some are gems, but what I said was "for the most part." Which, I'm sad to say, is all too true. |
Anonymous Source Posts: 10 Joined: 21 Jun 2009 | It just seems rather odd to mention that you're only talking about games because the episode started with a scene from the TV show Dallas which as far as I know never had any games made after it. Personally I have yet to see a game with a more compelling and well written story than KotOR. Then Battlefront and TFU also managed to get very high fan support and I greatly enjoyed both. |
