5 Great Game Series That Got Off To Rocky Starts

They may be considered classics now, but all of these game series came from more humble beginnings.

I wish people would stop posting the games in the tags for lists like this. Otherwise, we know what games they're talking about and there's really no need to look at the article.

Pikajew4534d ago

I agree. It happens for every site but gameingbolt

Kran4534d ago

I dont do it with my articles :/

call of duty 2 was awesome online for pc.

jony_dols4534d ago

I'm surprised that Killzone 1 isn't on this list!

Relientk774534d ago

Killzone 1 wasnt bad. It was like decent/good. However, yea that is a good example of another franchise

kevnb4534d ago

killzone 1 was painful to play, compare it to red faction or time splitters.

Derekvinyard134534d ago

well timesplitters is just boss. they need a 4 imo. but yea KZ1 was not up to par with any great shooter of that time. when i got it i was soo pissed it wasent good

ShaunCameron4534d ago

Would Mega Man count? Not like the 1st one was bad, but MM2 really made the franchise a contender.

After the funky box art I think it deserved a spot....

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Saints Row - Where it All Began

Saints Row made its debut nearly 20 years ago, and while the game has aged its still worth playing on modern consoles.

Back when games had balls. Now they still have balls, but also lipstick and a dress.

kevco3339d ago

Or an angry purple streak in their hair to demonstrate they're a rebel.

SimpleSlave39d ago

And they claimed this place was one of the outhouses for Gamers™ and gamerGate Incels. Pfft! But look at bangerBro99's amazing display of Homo-eroticism. How far we've come.

So proud of you, bud. Now you go grab them balls and have all the fun. 👍

Outstanding!

PhillyDonJawn39d ago

They should remaster the first 2.

1nsomniac38d ago

I think the first one was the best in the series by a long, long way!

Demetrius38d ago

🥲🥲 someone needs to buy this ip and watch dogs, give those franchises a proper treatment sheesh

TheColbertinator38d ago

First 3 games were great. Then 4, Gat out of Hell and the Reboot were flimsy in comparison. Aliens, demons and a weak reboot in terms of intensity made the games forgettable.

Profchaos38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

But even 3 ventured into rediculas territory with zombies and stag. Zombies in 3 to me was just a hey you know what's popular zombies let's do that

TheColbertinator38d ago

The endgame of 3 did get stupid but the game held together at the end. 4 was just annoying all the way through.
