Kind of hard to order them but this first one is definitely my favorite

Persona - Have not played 1 or 2 yet but I love the other 3 mainline games a lot, spinoffs are very hit or miss though. (So far Metaphor ReFantazio is also amazing but that doesn't really count here) I've also played the orginal SMT5 and really liked it so I do also want to play Vengeance and Nocturne sometimem, but I haven't played enough SMT outside of Persona to include it.

Smash Bros - Very fun and deep gameplay and I like seeing my favorite characters all together. The character reveals are also some of the most exciting moments in gaming honestly.

Mario - Also a good and fun time, I enjoy a lot of the platformers and Mario Kart and Party are a great time too.

NieR - Only played Automata and Replicant for the first time this year and they are some of the best if not the best stories in any game I've played and honestly has the most thought provoking themes as well. I also tried the first Drakengard for like 2 hours but the gameplay is actually so bad, (I know it could be intentional but still) so I'm hoping it gets remade in the future and I do want to play Drakengard 3 at some point as well.

Final Fantasy - Have not played a lot of the games but I really like the ones I have played (except 15 but whatever). 7 is my favorite but I also really like the remakes along with 16 and 10 so I look forward to eventually playing more in the future (8, 13 and 4 are eventually up next).

Currently Playing: Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and whatever else I feel like playing

@Malaise Well, Persona 4 Golden is my favourite game of all time and I love the series in general, so it was a natural pick for me. It's just such a unique series because the games are so long, you'll become attached to the characters and immersed into its world. Persona represents the ultimate form of escapism for me.

@colonelkilgore Haha! Not self-indulgent at all, buddy. Itโ€™s very true that the community here is largely responsible for my connecting with the Souls series and even drove me toward that initial foray into Bloodborne. Your role in that has been substantial indeed, so give yourself due credit. The little nudges and sage advice has been critical to climbing over the barrier to entry. Of course, shout out to @BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN @JohnnyShoulder @HallowMoonshadow and several others who I canโ€™t think of right now who have been supportive as well. The series and the genre in general is one that you really need to have a little peer support to get over the hump. That was the missing ingredient when I tried Dark Souls 1 back on PS3 all by my lonesome. There wasnโ€™t a community to push me on and the online help sources at the time werenโ€™t as robust.

Now I have become a disciple as well and will shepherd the next generation of Souls acolytes. ๐Ÿ˜‚

@colonelkilgore My questline begins, but has many arbitrary requirements to be available for summon. ๐Ÿ˜…

1. Castlevania
2. Resident Evil
3. Half-Life
4. Batman Arkham series
5. Dark Souls

But here are more, I could easily replace Half-Life or Arkham Series with Fallout, Elder Scrolls or Bioshock.

Gunnerzaurus

Jak and Daxter
Metal Gear Solid
Assassins Creed (For 1-Revelations)
Final Fantasy
Yakuza

Witcher 3 is my favorite game of all time, but felt odd putting the series since it's the only one I've ever played

ApostateMage

Mass Effect (well, 1&2)
Gran Turismo
Dark Cloud/Chronicle
Grand Theft Auto
Dishonored

A mix of fond nostalgia as a series and the amount of times I've replayed said games.

Ravix

Uncharted. I totally forgot Uncharted ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I played the 4th first, but have since played the first 3 and they are all fantastic apart from, you know, the gameplay at times can make you want to put your head through a wall ๐Ÿ˜

Awww happy to help ya out @Th3solution with my ramblings about the souls games! Long may the sun shine!


As for this whole forum topic... I think it's rather impossible for me to answer.

Cus there are a lot of series I do like... But because of how long running most series are it's usually only one or two games that I really gel with.

I really like Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII but I despise VIII with a burning passion.

I love Persona 3. But I lothe Persona 5.

I have a great time with MG3, but V is just exhausting.

It's very interesting to think about though and seeing everyone's lists... Especially as quite a few of them have massive caveats regarding the series they're massive fans of.

@HallowMoonshadow I played (and loved) P5 and have been eyeing up P3 & P4, what is it you like about Persona 3 that was missing in 5?
