Not a CoD in sight, was so much better back then.Seeing this list is kinda making me hate the 7th gen a bit now, wth happened? Hopefully 8th gen fixes this.

Everyone is bashing Call of Duty but it still sells millions and millions of copies. I enjoy COD. Did not get Ghosts though. Black Ops II multiplayer Free for All is still great fun. Looking forward to Sledgehammers COD 2014.

"Everyone is bashing Call of Duty but it still sells millions and millions of copies."

There's no accounting for taste.

Tony-A3688d ago

Call of Duty still sells because it's still the dominant shooter in its genre. Games that are tried and true, and don't steer too far from their predecessors are notorious for their ongoing success through generations.

Since Modern Warfare, not a whole lot has changed in gameplay.
Since Gran Turismo, not a whole lot has changed in gameplay.

Same for Mario, Grand Theft Auto, Madden, FIFA and any other game that developers crank out. The difference between these games and other games is that the developers for these games just happened to find the one formula that makes their franchise popular and applied it to the core of every future title in the series.

It's for this very reason that you don't see many titles stray way out from their breakout game and when they do, they aren't very well received.

Gamers cry for innovation, but often bash uniqueness. Doesn't make sense sometimes.

mikeslemonade3688d ago

Well in generation 6 you had people like bashing GTA just as now you see people bashing COD. You just didn't here it back then online as much with out collaborative news sites.

SegaGamer3687d ago

I agree. Back then games weren't getting made just to make a quick buck. They were coming up with new ideas. I loved the variety on the PS2, it was perfect.

il-JumperMT3688d ago

I thought it would been FFX for most sold on PS2

TitanUp3687d ago

an rpg game is never going to beat an shooters or racer in terms of sales.

i hate that but rpg doesnt hit the mainstream like shooters and racers do.

theDivision3688d ago

I cannot access the page, nor can I access the other page of the article Dadag has posted up.

DragonKnight3688d ago

Let me help you out then.

10. God of War - 4.61 million
9. Kingdom Hearts - 4.78 million
8. FFXII - 5.2 million
7. FFX 6.6 million
6. MGS2 - 7 million
5. GTA 3 - 7.9 million
4. GTA Vice City - 9.61 million
3. Gran Turismo 4 - 11.73 million
2. GT3 A-Spec - 14.89 million
1. GTA San Andreas - 17.33 million

Gotta love it when someone has nothing to write about so they go to VGChartz and look up sales numbers to make an "article" about, even if the games are 10 years old or more.

Jeebus3688d ago

I'm amazed that FFXII sold so well. Also that the first KH and GoW sold more than their better sequels.

theDivision3688d ago

Talk about rough... my PS2 never touched any of those games.

mt3688d ago

@Jeebus in my opinion only kingdom hearts 2 and god of war 2 were better in almost every aspect. other sequels/ prequels weren't better than the first of both games.

@the Division

dude ... wow are you kidding ?

SegaGamer3687d ago

Nice to see a few RPG's in that list.

God of War Needs to Redefine Kratos' Purpose Clearly and Quickly

Whatever form the next God of War game takes, it needs to be clear about what role Kratos is playing, lest the franchise lose direction.

I'm pretty sure it'd be a major mistake having Atreus as the main character in the next GoW. Seems to me like at best people tolerate him and his gameplay sections.

Ideally the story for the next game would be that Atreus has gone missing in Egypt, Kratos gets mad about it, picks up Mimir and goes on a god killing rampage.

Mad_Matt3d ago

If that is an option for the dev team then they need to make it a clean slate. No Atreus, No Mimir. That's what happened when he changed pantheons before. Lets Kratos be in that world. But it will be a difficult task to complete. Kratos and his past demons are getting a bit redundant as far as story telling goes.

Nacho_Z2d ago

Yeah there's not a lot of meat left on the bone story wise. Personally I'd happily accept any goofy reason they could come up with for why Kratos is in Egypt chopping off heads. I'm personally not that bothered about the finer points of the storytelling, although they do it well.

The_Hooligan2d ago

I would still like to have Mimir in the next game. They (devs) can justify it by saying that Mimir wants to gain knowledge about other realms/pantheons. Also, personally I think Alastair Duncan did a great job as Mimir and would love to see the continuation of the small banters Kratos and Mimir had in the past games.

goldwyncq2d ago

The point of Ragnarok's ending is to show that Atreus is his own man now. Having Daddy Kratos save him in Egypt after getting himself into trouble would just undo his entire character development.

Nacho_Z2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

The point was more to do with getting Atreus out of the way rather than him being saved. Let's say he's off on his own adventures then and invent another reason for Kratos to be in Egypt.

Could be that Kratos thinks he's been captured or killed as motivation but at the close of the game it turns out Atreus has been up to his own shady shenanigans.

Lionsguard2d ago

They need to bring back the "God of War" in God of War. I was expecting to unleash hell and fury in Asgard against Thor that they really talked up in the first game but all we got was brooding middle aged dad drunk in a beer hall. Ragnarok was still "good" but I left that game expecting a lot more.

InUrFoxHole2d ago

Tried Rag... just couldn't get into it. Felt like more of the same. I would welcome a Kratos only game again.
