What is the Best Gaming Trilogy? Gaming Roundtable

The VGU.TV staff discuss what they believe are the best gaming trilogies of all time.

ATi_Elite4077d ago (Edited 4077d ago )

As soon as Half Life 3 comes out BAM End of Debate!

but right now

STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl
STALKER Clear Sky
STALKER Call of Pripyat

is my favorite trilogy!

UnHoly_One4077d ago

I have to admit I never saw what was so special about Half Life.

My vote would go for Mass Effect if they didn't completely botch the third one, but since they did...

Probably Xenosaga or God of War.

SuperLupe4077d ago

Same here, played the Orange Box back in the day and didnt see what the heck all the hype was about.

BlackTar1874077d ago

Half Life 1 for its time ws EPIC and amazing. I never felt that way to extremes in part 2.

Kalowest4077d ago

"didn't completely botch the third one, but since they did..."
You mean if Bioware didn't botch the series after Mass Effect 1. I can't even remember what happened in ME3, but IK the game it looked pretty.

Eyeco4077d ago

You guys never saw anything special about the games physics, AI, story, level design, the ingenious physics based environmental puzzles, lengthy campaign, gravity gun.

I'll understand not to like the game heck it's your opinion, but to say that you cant's see the appeal is kinda ignorant

NukaCola4077d ago

flOw, Flower, Journey

checkmate

MikeMyers4077d ago

Wouldn't trilogies have to be games that ended after 3 games?

UnHoly_One4076d ago

@Eyeco, No, I didn't see anything special about any of that stuff.

I thought it was one of the most bland, boring, and generic shooters I ever played.

It was one of VERY few games I actually left unfinished because it was awful.

Ezz20134075d ago

i give it to uncharted, god of war, mass effect

cayleee4077d ago

Warcraft 1,2,3 enough said.

BlackTar1874077d ago

Great games but Warcraft 3 let me down.

Hitman07694076d ago (Edited 4076d ago )

I just really don't like it... it seems for kids... only Blizzard Universe I can't get into no matter how hard I try

OH...

PS-trick question. there is none, its all opinions.

solidt124077d ago

This is a hard question to answer unless somebody just sat down and played through every trilogy.

Reverent4077d ago

No idea how you got so many disagrees. Personally, I absolutely loved the STALKER games.

ATi_Elite4076d ago

STALKER is wonderful and too bad Consolers missed out on that Wonderful experience as Consolers DO NOT have an Open World FPS/RPG.

Also lot of them have said they find nothing special about Half Life 2. OMG HL2 only ushered in about 50 different gaming innovations from Facial Expressions to the gravity gun along with the Sandbox game style.

I can't wait for Survarium (Open World FPS/RPG/MMO) from the Dev team that made STALKER

Late 2013 or mid 2014

Reverent4076d ago

I've actually been following Survarium very closely since it was announced. It's a bit of a shame that virtually nothing has really been mentioned of the game.

Eyeco4076d ago

Unless you can call Borderlands open world we have that, and unless you can Fallout 3 an FPS we have that to, but yeah I agree I've always wanted to play STALKER, it looked scary as fuu

otherZinc4076d ago

Halo & Mass Effect. In that order.

Etseix4077d ago

a very good choice indeed
but I'll stick with Xenosaga trilogy

XENOSAGA!!!!

PsnGammer214076d ago

They need make an hd remake of xenosaga

raWfodog4077d ago

I agree with you on that. Kratos is my favorite videogame character.

Simon_Brezhnev4077d ago

God of War and Prince of Persia.

Kalowest4077d ago

I find God of Incest to be overrated. Dumb story and main character.

Rainstorm814077d ago (Edited 4077d ago )

God of incest???........do u know anything about Greek mythology?

You are lucky that's all that gets referred to ( albeit BARELY ) from that time.....Watch Sparticus , it makes any of GoW sexual references seem mild

**even though u are clearly trolling**

Reverent4077d ago

@Rainstorm, accidentally gave you a disagree, sorry :/

But yeah, Kalowest is trolling too hard.

TheSauce4077d ago

What is with this site? Say a PS series and you get tons of up votes, say a xbox series and you get down voted. I think many forget that these are people's OPINIONS!

Gazondaily4077d ago

Don't take it to heart, it's just the way of N4G is. It doesn't mean your opinion is wrong. I understand your annoyance though.

MagneticDeath24077d ago

Not really there is alot of downvotes on the PS side as well.

Rainstorm814077d ago

Maybe he got down voted because Halo isn't a trilogy.....it's a saga...or will be

Hence Halo 1-6....all direct sequels of each other

InTheLab4076d ago

Septic's posting of Halo proves you wrong. 15agrees/14disagrees.

Perception and reality rarely line up when it comes to this site.

Number-Nine4077d ago

this generation..gears of war.

TheOneEyedHound4077d ago (Edited 4077d ago )

Nah I say Uncharted by far.

Gears was great, but once Uncharted 2 came out, the Uncharted series was in another arena artistically, story-wise, ect.

Gazondaily4077d ago

Agreed. Whilst Uncharted never really was a contender against Gears as far as multiplayer is concerned, as a whole, Uncharted trumps it as a more memorable series.

Number-Nine4077d ago

uncharted is definitely a solid trilogy but it lost some points, in my opinion, with how bad uncharted 3 was. it was nothing like 1 or 2.

Root4077d ago (Edited 4077d ago )

Number-Nine

It wasn't perfect but it was still amazing....not as a good as Uncharted 2 but how can you top the best when people will have very high expectations.

@Below

They do reference past games though

Elena in Uncharted 3 to Drake

"No Cursed treasure" (Drakes Fortune)

"Nope"

"No Diabolical Warlords" (Among Thieves)

"Nooooo"

Then when your in the airfield and Elena gives you a lift where Drake jumps on top of the car

"Hey Déjà vu right"

"haha Yeah" (Jumping on the train in Uncharted 2)

Ducky4077d ago

I don't really consider uncharted to be a trilogy because not much carries over from one to the other. The possibility of UC4 is pretty much open.
Could probably swap UC3 around with UC2 and not much would change, especially with the way characters show up and disappear.

While a series like GodOfWar carries over and the final entry is a culmination of previous events.

TXIDarkAvenger4077d ago (Edited 4076d ago )

I love how you get disagrees for YOUR OWN OPINION. I bet everyone who disagreed has never played Gears of War because its awesome.

aLucidMind4076d ago

Or because they simply didn't like the game for one reason or another. And disagreeing with another person's opinion is totally fine considering nobody is attacking him.

shawncobbins4076d ago

Finally somebody with brains, Gears is easily the best trilogy out right now.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv726d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii6d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast6d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM6d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife6d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit6d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife5d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!

Todd Howard Has No Plans to Retire, Open to Other Studios Making Fallout Games

In a recent interview, Todd Howard revealed that he has no plans to retire and reiterated Bethesda's openness to help from other studios.

DOMination-9d ago

Oh great, now we have to deal with Anasts Bethesda fetish indefinitely.

Thanks a lot, Todd

anast9d ago

You're welcome for the free entertainment. Usually, it comes at a cost of $70 because of inflation.

Crows909d ago

That's an inflated price...

anast9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

@Crows

It would be if it weren't a valuable resource.

mastershredder9d ago

"with no plans to retire anytime soon" I mean this is like a common news topic involving his name. Knock it off and do some actual newsing. This is like the biggest "No Duh" article of the day, and several sites had to regurgitate it. Geez. So lame.

"Batman. I like the idea that if I had enough money, time, and vengeance, I could become him." - Todd Howard

This is when he'll retire.

nmbr1esq9d ago

He doesn't have to retire, just the stupid outdated garbage creation engine.

Kados9d ago

Netimmerse 4.0, presumably 5.0 for TES6. They should give the Fallout IP to Obsidian, and have it made in UE5.

I’m going to get back into Fallout 4 since I haven’t finished it yet. The recent update will likely give me more of an incentive to get to it sooner rather than later.

Crows909d ago

The recent update does nothing except take up more space...

raWfodog8d ago

New armor, weapons, and mission(s) is enough for me, especially since I haven’t finished the game yet.

mastershredder9d ago

Where is the problem part again?
There is a show
There is 76 that is perfect for non-standard fallout players and perfect for Bethesda to coin up on.
There is a Fallout Shelter
There is Fallout 4 updated for current gen (that went free for subscription services in most cases).

Also there is a whole new audience that has never seen or played fallout before. Seems like they have PLENTY to dig into, before they worry about FO5.

They are beyond trending and are banking with willing investors atm, and you are calling it a problem. Mkay. Sounds more like you are just chapped that FO5 is not point of discussion. No worries, it is coming, just gonna take a bit. Just be glad MS and Bethesda ironed out their multi-platform woes, THAT was a problem, the rest is cake.

danno_omen9d ago

I called it a good problem because they have so much momentum, or did you fail to read that part

anast9d ago

That momentum is going to die when the new players realize their games aren't very well made compared to other games.

andy858d ago

The answer is no there won't. 2030s
