Get your flame shield ready.

Also for reference, if we're going by GS scores Half Life,Mario,Zelda,Final Fantasy,MGS,Halo and pretty much everything else dont count.

The only console MGS that scored an AAA was MGS2.

I would give it to the 3D Grand Theft Autos, the 3D Mario games (without Sunshine) or the N64 Zelda games.

I know I just took alot of liberty with omitting some titles, but what the hell....

no no no and no, ive played halo 3 a lot of hours and its no where near the best franchise, its simplicity is what draws people in, i would rank most of nintendos staple franchises above it, mario, zelda, metroid, those franchises have been around a lot longer and have still found ways to make the games good

franchise? id go with zelda. over 20 years old and ninty have only made 2 bad zeldas (PH and zelda 2). thats an incredible achievement.

there are better games than zelda games imho..but as a franchise of consistent high quality...zelda takes some beating.

IMO they should all of gotten AAA. But anyway imo its either The Elder Scrolls, Metal Gear Solid, Halo or Grand Theft Auto. Oh yeah, and Half-Life. Theres too many to choose from :(

zelda IMO

because each game is quality, yet unique too

it's not just a rehash of the last game .. sure storylines can be a bit similar at the simplest level, but there are layers of depth on top that make them epic

level design is always great, so are graphics and sound

great enemies, bosses etc

Call of Duty, Halo, and Half-life are my favorites, but i think GTA is the best in terms of review scores.

:cry:

Maybe because it was a gameplay-wise spin-off of the series, as the main games are rail-shooters. In Japan the game is called AZEL for the main character, and that story canon has concluded. So there's no point of a sequel.

Orta is last entry of the series.

Where does Panzer Dragoon Mini fit into it all? It is canonical? I remember importing it, but that was long before I spoke Japanese and I have since lost it.

I'm going with gR rankings and not GS scores..coz then MGS isn't a AAA game which is the dumbest thing to comprehend.

I'll say Zelda

- LttP

- OoT

- MM

- Oracles

- LA

God damnit soo many amazing gems in one series.

Right now though in the last 5 years probably God of War.

Halo and GTA. They are the only true AAA franchises and thats why they probably gather the most hate.

This is obviously going to differ greatly depending on the gamer but in my personal opinion I would say that the Metal Gear franchise is my favourite. Grand Theft Auto and Elder Scrolls are a close 2nd and 3rd.
