Dunno about Yakuza but sounds fine for all but warcraft. World of ruined the franchise for me. I just wanted more of the same. Also I thought persona was part of megami tensei.
Yeah, maybe the original 2 but Kiwami 1 and 2 (the remaster) and Yakuza 0 are probably my favorites.
Warcraft 2 was actually a really great game. If Warcraft 3 and StarCraft never came out and utterly eclipsed it, it would have been an all timer. Warcraft 1 was also good, but inferior to 2 in basically every way and never got time to shine.
Witcher 1 was incredibly tough to play through, but Witcher 2 was great.
WC1 was iconic at the time and we thought nothing could top it. Then WC2 absolutely blew our minds, and SC destroyed them as (I think) the first popular RTS with highly asymmetric but balanced factions.
Blizzard was absolutely on the top of their game then.
Of course nobody (including myself) realized that both games were just Warhammer / 40k in disguise, because those games were only for true nerds at the time. Only in the last few years as 40k has become mainstream did it become obvious where Blizzard got the lore and aesthetic to create such iconic games.
Yeah I really enjoyed WC2, it was epic and WC3 was a real disappointment to be honest. I still play WC2 every so often though

IF YOU DONT PLAY THE FIRST 2 YAKUZA GAMES, I WILL FIND YOU AND TSKE YOUR MONEY AND DOWNLOAD THEM ON YOUR COMPUTER.
Should add the battlefield games as well.. most people started at 3... though there are more than 2 games before BF3.
My fav is still 2142
Imo Bad Company is still the best that the Battlefield franchise has put out. But I didn't play any before it so maybe it's just nostalgia.

Skate fan here, why are we included? Skate 3 may be the one most of the community plays, but I think most skate fans agree one and especially two are good games in their own right. In my opinion skate 2 is just a more stylish version of skate 3 really.
GTA 2 and Warcraft 2 were the best in their respected series
GTA 2... Best
Bold opinion, got a reason?
GTA2 and 3 might as well have been different series for how different they were. Both were great but I've always wanted to see a top down successor to GTA2. The game was much goofier and the top down view let you kite a ridiculously large police force through the wildest chases imaginable.
GTA2 was just plain fun.
Kind of like how Metroid forked into its 2D and 3D incarnations, each with a separate story and timeline even (The Metroid Prime series splits off after Super Metroid, and Fusion / Dread diverge significantly)
With Prime 4 lost in the pipe somewhere, Dread was an honest surprise to see. Even more surprising was to see it was a 2D Fusion sequel over a decade later! And it felt like a real return to form for Metroid and was a blast to play.
This is how I feel a GTA2 sequel could be received, but they would need some way to identify it from the 3D titles that most people identify as GTA now.
Maybe even an HD remaster with some new content would be well received. I would love to play GTA2 again in HD.
Out of interest, did you play GTA 1?

Cause it was really the first of it's kind and was on a console. GTA while was also console released was a lot different and not as polished.
This meme was made by someone who didn't grow up during the time of top down games, WC/WC2, FO1/2 and GTAs all were insanely good for their time.
WC2 was my first RTS
I had lan parties with GTA2, such good memories
The Fallout fans are missing out.
Final Fantasy fans are right to skip 2, but 1 can be fun. I'd much rather play 1 than 8.
Ugh misread your comment and went on a fallout 2 rant. Woops. Totally agree with you! The early fallout games were excellent, and i think the only good one since the IP got picked up is new Vegas
Can I hear your fallout 2 rant anyway? I only played the modern ones, and nearly totally ignored the strategy involved in VATS in favor of just shooting enemies in the head myself.
Ha! Totally! Fallout 2 is an underrated gem of a game, the amount of content in a single city (new reno) is staggering. It's funny, difficult, at times nonsensical, and arguably my favorite game in the series. Nothing about it is perfect, but it feels so right.
I don't want to give too many details in case i spoil it, but the game is really something else. I don't think any game in the series has been as unhinged since fallout 2. It is 2d isometric and uses an action point system, so be aware of that, but man is it wild. I think new vegas is the closest to really capturing the essence, but there's a certain tone that is missing from the new games. I also strongly dislike the nonstop shoot on sight gameplay in later entries like they're copying call of duty.
The first time i had an enemy offscreen one shot one of my party members with a Gauss rifle was a shock. An epic shock.
Sheesh. I wasn't expecting to hear 'unhinged', but if you're saying it's like the "wild wasteland" modifier in New Vegas that makes sense. Would you say the fights are more difficult than the fps ones?

The OG Yakuza 1 and 2 may be dated but I enjoyed their Kiwami remakes.
Came here to say this. Yakuza Kiwami was my introduction to the franchise and I liked it quite a bit
I don't know if TSE is a misspelling of The Elder Scrolls. In case it isn't: The Elder Scrolls.
arena... no, I didn't get through it, but Daggerfall isn't bad
I touched Final Fantasy I & II
And it touched me.
Not true for Final Fantasy. They made a prequel/sidequel of FF1 called Strangers of Paradise, and it was actually really good.
Stranger of Paradise is good? It is mocked by the FF community and even within it's own game. That is a FF staple though.
I would say the job leveling tree was what was intended in Tactics or FFXIV, but the rest is really not that great. The battle system is no different than FF7 Remake. The story is not really engaging. It's was fun for a few weeks. If it's at a discount. Sure.
I had a blast with a couple friends. I’m not saying it’s Shakespeare, but it wasn’t bad like people who only ever saw the trailers think it is.
Either way, the fact they tried something new means they didn’t forget about FF1, and technically FF2 if you played enough of the DLC 😉
Dnd can be in this meme twice
jokes on them, i actually played gta and witcher early titles at least on this list. if baldurs gate is included, i at least played the dark alliance spinoff
