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_Elite4066d ago (Edited 4066d 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_One4066d 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.

SuperLupe4066d ago

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

BlackTar1874066d ago

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

Kalowest4065d 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.

Eyeco4065d 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

NukaCola4065d ago

flOw, Flower, Journey

checkmate

MikeMyers4065d ago

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

UnHoly_One4065d 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.

Ezz20134064d ago

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

cayleee4066d ago

Warcraft 1,2,3 enough said.

BlackTar1874066d ago

Great games but Warcraft 3 let me down.

Hitman07694065d ago (Edited 4065d 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.

solidt124065d ago

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

Reverent4065d ago

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

ATi_Elite4065d 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

Reverent4065d 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.

Eyeco4065d 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

otherZinc4065d ago

Halo & Mass Effect. In that order.

Etseix4066d ago

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

XENOSAGA!!!!

PsnGammer214065d ago

They need make an hd remake of xenosaga

raWfodog4066d ago

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

Simon_Brezhnev4066d ago

God of War and Prince of Persia.

Kalowest4065d ago

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

Rainstorm814065d ago (Edited 4065d 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**

Reverent4065d ago

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

But yeah, Kalowest is trolling too hard.

TheSauce4066d 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!

Gazondaily4066d 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.

MagneticDeath24066d ago

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

Rainstorm814065d 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

InTheLab4065d ago

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

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

Number-Nine4066d ago

this generation..gears of war.

TheOneEyedHound4066d ago (Edited 4066d 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.

Gazondaily4066d 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-Nine4066d 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.

Root4066d ago (Edited 4066d 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)

Ducky4066d 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.

TXIDarkAvenger4065d ago (Edited 4065d 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.

aLucidMind4065d 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.

shawncobbins4065d ago

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

Xbox Reportedly Working to Release Next Fallout Game "Sooner Rather Than Later"

According to a new report, Xbox knows the next Fallout game has to release sooner rather than later and is working on it. Following the release of Starfield, Bethesda Game Studios is now working on The Elder Scrolls 6. And this is what it's going to be doing for the next several years. This means the next Fallout game is probably not going to be out until the 2030s unless something changes. To this end, Xbox knows it has to change something and get something out sooner.

Just bring the quality and hopefully some gameplay refinements.

Like build a new engine if you make me have a 45 second load to enter a building and exit a building on 9th gen hardware to your game is just taking the piss it's absolutely down to the engine and not the hardware it should have been possible to eliminate this load on the PS4 Xbox one but they failed to while other games like witcher 3 and GTA v had no problems with this.

Like all Bethesda games they really need to also address the ultra stiff character animation the dialogue scenes are not great and even in starfield they were substandard compared to other games look at how character interactions are done elsewhere it's far more engaging when you are not standing still talking

Cacabunga1d 2h ago

I don’t like the sound of «  Sooner than later » especially coming from Xbox

fr0sty1d 1h ago

Most especially coming from Bethesda, a company known for releasing buggy games, while they are busy working on 2 other projects with MS breathing down their neck to rush this one out while the TV show hype is still hot.

Walalon1d ago

The thing is coming from Xbox and Bethesda... That's the formula for a pretty big disaster.

raWfodog22h ago

I would think building a new engine would add significantly more development time than less, unless they implement AI tools to aid in the develelopment time. But that’s another whole can of worms entirely.

Crows901d 3h ago

This is a problem....let the games be. Maybe try to get something out by the time next season rolls around. You've got time. If the fallout show continues like this then it'll be fine to wait and invest in a good game.

-Foxtrot1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

I think people are missing the point of this

It’s not rushing a releases for next year it’s Microsoft knowing Bethesda won’t get round to Fallout 5 until 2031 at the earliest and want it to become a franchise that can come out within a typical 4-5 year development over every 15 or so years.

Bethesda took it upon themselves to do a new IP with Starfield which is fair enough, it's great to see studios wanting to do new IPs but in the process of doing that they've created a massive gap for sequels to their other games.

They just don't want to give their franchises away to another studio because I feel after New Vegas they are scared someone else will be able to create a better game to them. If Obsidian were giving a full lengthy development time and a bigger budget I think New Vegas could have been bigger and better than it was.

Psychonaut851d 2h ago

Bro let one of the other studios under Bethesda do a spin off.

Shane Kim1d 2h ago

Got to capitalize on the tv show.

Demetrius1d 2h ago

I really do enjoy the fallout world, I always been into the series but couldn't get into new vegas cause the gameplay is a slog, the atmosphere was and still top notch tho, decide to finally play fallout 4 and it's been so mf fun it looks good in 60fps

Now is the Best Time to Get This Incredible RPG Bundle on Steam

If you are looking for an awesome RPG, look no further. Steam is offering a significant discount on its Fallout Franchise Bundle.

SimpleSlave4d ago

"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."

😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?

Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.

20% off...lol

Tacoboto4d ago

The games were just on a real sale over the last week or two for the show promotion. Fallout 4 was $10, 3 was $5, NV was cheap as heck too.

So what the heck is this

Inverno4d ago

The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz

isarai4d ago

Bro that's a ridiculous ripoff are you kidding me? 🤣

Fallout Anthology Edition Looks Pretty S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.

-Foxtrot17d ago

It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did

They included physical disc back then

ocelot0715d ago

Forgot I ordered this until I got the dispatch email.

FPS_D3TH15d ago

I want the first two games to come to iPhone/android

Friendlygamer15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot

saint_seya15d ago
