Best Trilogy of this Generation

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"]

The choices in your poll are bad and you should feel bad.

inb4 the BioDrones line up and start chanting about how great MassEffect is like they were brainwashed to do

inb4 nobody except maybe Shake says Resistance

inb4 the Cows talk about how much they loved being a poor man's Indiana Jones

inb4 someone says Gears of War and actually tries to defend Gears of War 2

inb4 someone says Assassin's Creed and forgets that 1. It's not a trilogy and 2. How ridiculously uneven it's been

I vote for none of the above because they all failed spectacularly in their own special way.

Funny thing is, he's right.

It's completely how this thread turned out. SW can be so laughably predictable.

Why is the Modern Warfare series not here? Technically that is a trilogy right? I know it's a part of Call of Duty, but they number it differently and everything.

SPYDER0416

Cuz it sucks.

Mass Effect Definitley. Just finished Mass Effect 3 a few weaks back, now I'm playing the trilogy again. I have already finished Mass Effect 1 again, now I'm on to 2.

[QUOTE="gensigns"]the one that had all 3 games above 90 on metacritic....padaporra

Yes

Assassin's Creed is the only decent series in your list. Not on that list, I'm going with either Halo, Half-Life , or Assassins Creed. I am leaning towards Halo.GamerZem

Halo and Half-Life are not this gen.

STALKER was pretty good.

I really like Uncharted but i gotta go with Mass Effect.

Uncharted, the fact that Mass Effect got the most votes shows just how bad this generation is.

Halo 3, Halo Reach, Halo 4. :shock: :D

Eh Mass Effect edges out Gears I guess. :P

Always love that hyperbole about Resistance being nothing but bad games. I guess every single critic was lieing when they wrote those reviews, eh? That's fine, but keep that belief consistent with all games and reviews.

If Resistance is a bad franchise, then all critics are liars.

Yeah they were obviously lying. 87 metacritic score for the worst entry in the series, outscoring the other two games. Thats a joke

This post so much better than mine it isnt funny.

Jeez man...

You got some serious cynicism for the popular games don't you?

To each their own but I would think at least one of those series would be alright to someone.

I can admit I'm not a fan of a few myself I guess :P.

Of those 4 I have at least had some experience with. They typically fell for common pitfalls. Namely.

No exploration: Uncharted, Gears, Mass Effect (sure you could explore in ME1 but what is the point).
No challenge: Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed
No depth: Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Gears of War, Uncharted
Cinematic Gameplay: Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Gears of War, Uncharted
Flash over substance: Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Gears of War, Uncharted, Assassin's Creed (again)
Awful Level Design:Mass Effect, Gears of War, Uncharted
Repetitive Gameplay: Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Gears of War, Uncharted

It is not their popularity that is the issue, it is the traits within the games themselves that bother me. Heck, 3/4 of those plays like a game of whack-a-mole, and the one that doenst is basicly "I.W.I.N. button: The Game"

Gears of War series was my favorite, followed by Ass Creed.

I like Mass Effect but they made it too slow with too many cutscenes and emo bullschit.

Opinions. Resistance 2 is the high point of the franchise for me, so I agree with it scoring the best.

Yeah thats what reviews are, opinions. And people thinking its a series full of crap is an opinion too.

Resistance 2 is almost objectively the best entry in the series. It had the best, most well rounded multiplayer. The most features. One of the best cooperative modes of any shooter this gen. It was and still is to this very day the most played Resistance game. It deserved it's scores.

Even the devs said R2 was the weakest one in the series and they were gonna improve upon it with number 3.

Yeah its multiplayer was great but that was the only thing good about it. The singleplayer was complete sh!t and I don't know what they were thinking adding in a 2 weapon limit in a game where its all about the weapons. Actually I do know: all the other FPS have it so they needed to add it too derp.

imo R2's coop was better and more fun than the entire R3 game , no wonder R3 sucked as much if the devs thought that, it almost seems like they created such coop masterpiece by coincidence :DAmnesiaHaze

I enjoyed both R2 and R3s co-op. They are different but both good.

Uncharted is the only one that appeals to me.

Not a genre that excites me (standard fare cinematic TPS), but the second game is exceptionally well made, my goty 09.

I just need to play the 3rd game for its stereo 3D effect. Would probably not have bothered otherwise. Even if you are served an amazing dish, at one point you get full. That's me with UC3, it's too samey.

The developers didn't know wtf fans wanted. These are the same morons who totally botched Resistance 3's multiplayer thus screwing any chance of the community thriving and the game selling well. They had a great thing going with R:FOM and esspecially R2, but they threw that away to appeal to the CoD crowd.

The campaign was mediocre but that's not what kept people coming back. It was that amazing multiplayer which blew away anything else on PS3 at the time. Resistance 3's MP didn't even have half the features. It was simply a stripped down, reskinned version of CoD's multiplayer.

[QUOTE="Master_ShakeXXX"]

[QUOTE="khoofia_pika"] Really? I thought Resistance 2's campaign was slow paced, and it's multiplayer kinda messy. I actually think Resistance 3 is the best in series. But then again, that's just my opinion. AmnesiaHaze

I wanted desperately to enjoy R3 as well but yeah, it was pretty much broken. There was no sense of balance. Higher level players were pretty much gods and newcomers stood no chance. It was a buggy, lag infested mess. A total 180 from the first two game's multiplayer.

Thankfully the campaign was still excellent so it wasn't an all around disappointment. Only a partial one.

i couldnt enjoy R3 coop at all because of there was no matchmaking :( and still it wasnt as teamwork oriented as R2 , R3 not having that type of coop was a major letdown for me AmnesiaHaze

Yeah they should have kept it, it was the best part of R2

Damn shame really. The first Resistance sold good so I don't know where the decision came from.

lol 1 vote for resistance

I cannot think of a single trilogy this gen that was good and enjoyable. I might change my tune if they made a third Arkham game or inFAMOUS this gen.

Uncharted for now(Might change to infamous if a third one is released this gen)

Ugh. What a terrible list. I guess that just goes to show how hard it is to get three quality titles out this gen.:?

AC I guess, but, blech.

Both Uncharted and Mass Effect

Both Uncharted and Mass Effect

finalstar2007

But you can only vote for one :)

Assassin's Creed and Uncharted.

[QUOTE="SPYDER0416"]

The Uncharted trilogy is my absolute favorite, but I think Mass Effect is the most important for what it represents and what it has done for the industry in terms of artistic merit and the innovative save transferring that was really cool.

charizard1605

Assassin's Creed: 1=Repetitive and boring. 2=Insultingly easy, bad gameplay, bad stealth, ect. 3=Buggy, poorly paced, horrid story even for AC "standards" (going by what I have heard anyway).
Uncharted: Only played the demos of UC1+2 and the MP beta of UC3. Couldnt stand it.
ME(diocre): You know, I wouldnt mind this series so much if the universe wasnt stupid like heck, the species werent so generic, the characters weren't so bad, combat was tolerable and the dialogue system wasnt a disaster.
Gears of War: Played through the first mission on the first one, never wanted to touch this series again.
Resistance: Never played, but Resistance 3 looks intriguing (yeah, I just said something positive about a PS3 exclusive).

I have to go with STALKER. But it probably wont be the best trilogy that started this gen, SC2 will eventually be (I think).

Maroxad

best trilogy is probably uncharted, out of that crappy list you made. Best series without a doubt is Halo.

Asassin's Creed III's story is easily the best in the series.texasgoldrush
