Pokemon.

They get burnt, frozen, stuck in earthquakes, poisoned, self-destruct, electric-shocked, physically beaten to a pulp, hit by the mysterious force of a hyper beam, sat on by Pokemon thousands of times bigger than themselves, bitten, scratched and made to live inside a ball; yet the fuckers still won't die.

TrendyGamers4437d ago (Edited 4437d ago )

They don't die, they just 'faint'. Makes it seem less gruesome.

matthewjgildea4437d ago

The idea of any Pokemon breeding with a ditto; now that's gruesome!

And fainting must be quite the ordeal for Pokemon. Not like humans who faint at the sight of blood or a cute opposite-sex attraction. Humans suck.

Vamp from metal gear solid was a pain in the ass.

TrendyGamers4436d ago

Especially when you consider the fact that a Ditto can be male or female in the breeding process.

Well yeah.. imagine playing pokemon yellow again.. Your 5.

You are fighting a Charizard with your Pikachu....

Suddenly it is defeated and the promt says

YOUR PIKACHU IS MAULED FEROCIOUSLY BY CHARIZARD!

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW TRAUMATIZING THAT WOULD BE?

Spitfire_Riggz4436d ago

Lol I remember visiting the grass between pallet town and veridian city with my level 100 pokemon killing level 3 pidgey.

You could have mention loads of Characters, from Gears,Metal Gear Solid, Halo or Infamous and etc...

Most of them are just from FF

GamePodunk4436d ago

Only the first one is from FF.

The rest are from completely different series.

trenso14436d ago

"Why won't you die"

Both requels over 2 and 3? Clowns. Those are two of the most boring games I've ever played.

Snookies12171d ago

GoW 3 was amazing, but I personally hated just one thing. (This is on me alone, because I was dumb, lol.) I hated that you couldn't skip cutscenes on repeat playthroughs. I had to go back through the game a third time because I missed one trophy accidentally on my way to the platinum... The cutscenes were great the first go round, even the second... But the third was pretty agonizing.

Haven't played Ragnarok, but I still think GoW 4 is a wonderful game in its own right. Not sure how I would stack them up against each other honestly.

Monstieur171d ago (Edited 171d ago )

I don't consider the reboot part of the original series. The original series were high-skill games with combos and rewards for mixing things up.

solideagle170d ago

lol square, square and triangle is the only combo you needed. I have played all of them on the hardest difficulties...

Golfcoachh171d ago

Maybe I’m just old school but I just couldn’t get into the last two. Maybe it’s the slower action and more story telling but the original trilogy was by far my favorite.

Crows90171d ago

It's not that youre old school. They're different genres

JL2930170d ago (Edited 170d ago )

Me either, at all. It's just yap yap yap. They try to be a RPG's instead of being action games like they used to be.

Fluke_Skywalker171d ago

I'd put the two psp games over 3 in terms of story any day. But not over 2.

TheEnigma313171d ago (Edited 171d ago )

My favorite was part 2 and I think Ragnarok is better that 2018.

Shane Kim171d ago

The newer games are better imo.

ravens52171d ago

There is no worst. Except for Ascension, only cause I didn't play it lol. They are all masterpieces. 1,2,3, 2018 and Ragnarok. 1 of, if not the greatest video game franchise...besides MetalGear.

Snookies12171d ago

Oh wow, I actually forgot that Ascension even existed... I never played it either.

Crows90171d ago

I like ascension. It was different and some interesting combat additions.

darthv72171d ago

If you didnt play it, how could you call it the worst? Its not as bad as the media portrayed it. Honestly the worst are those flash games. they arent even considered true GoW games but in name only. At least Ascension is a real GoW game.

ravens52171d ago

Not saying it's a terrible game. Just mean it's at the bottom of my list. I played a little bit of it. Jus to me, compared to the other main games, it's last.

Fluke_Skywalker171d ago

Ascension is the only GOW game I never finished. Hated it.

Inverno171d ago

Can't agree, older games do so much more than the last two. More weapons, magic abilities, enemies are more varied, level design is also more aesthetically pleasing, and agree with those who say that they shouldn't have removed jumping. Was a time I'd agree, but those old games are so so much better, that they really should've looked into bringing into the reboot/sequels.

Crows90171d ago (Edited 171d ago )

If a game is good then a game is good. Doesn't matter what came before or what comes after.

Inverno171d ago

Of course it matters. If not for what what came before there wouldn't be an after. And if something is great before then you strive to make it just as good if not better, after. I personally don't think there's a fair way to judge the new with the old because the newer games are still essentially a reboot, and went a way different direction. But I still believe the old games did it better. I'm probably bias though since I've been going back to old games and have been finding that they lack all the annoying aspects that devs have shoehorned into new games to fluff out game time.

Crows90170d ago

@Inverno

Im not talking about the passage of time here. Im talking about individual pieces of software. If a game is good then it is good. Thats not a controversial statement. You can compare good with good...sure. But you still end up with good. Now if there is a bad game in the mix and you compare you do end up with some differentials between them...makes sense to compare and see where it went wrong.

But theyre different genres and styles which were individually executed very well.

And no. The new games are not a reboot. Theyre a new direction but simply a continuation.
Tomb raider was a reboot.

Inverno170d ago

The new games are definitely a reboot, and a continuation, it can be both which it is. And a good game might be good, but my point is that if there are things done better before it then there's plenty of room for critiquing and trying to make whatever comes after better rather than just good.

It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.

ApocalypseShadow201d ago

Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.

But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.

Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol

Cacabunga201d ago

Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3
Killzone
Mark of Kri
SSX

are some of my all times favorites missing on that list

shinoff2183200d ago

I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.

CoNn3rB201d ago

I would love nothing more than a remaster of the Jak series, including Jak X

Flawlessmic201d ago (Edited 201d ago )

The greatest console of all time !!!!

The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.

Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.

It will always be my favourite.

sagapo200d ago

No Timesplitters in the list??

FinalFantasyFanatic200d ago

This is a really good list, pretty happy with the choices here.
