Pretty straightforward question, I want to know what are your favorite gaming franchises,and why? Which franchise has you coming back every time, for every installment? So lets begin.
What is your favorite video game franchise and why?. My first initial pick was to go to Halo, I've enjoy every single installment, some more than others but I rethought my pick. I've decided to overturn my original pick and ultimately decided to go with The Legend of Zelda.
No video game franchise currently out there has the ability to capture my imagination more. It always brings out the little kid in me. I've always like exploring,just venturing out and discovering things. The Legend of Zelda allows me to do these things, only in a virtual world.
From the sheer scope of the game,to the wide array of items to be found. All the way to the temple and dungeons even to the world of Hyrule itself. Every little detail comes together and always seems to make a high quality game that you can sink endless amount of hours into and still keep coming back. Even after you've beaten the game there is still plenty of things to be done. Sometimes the most enjoyable thing is to just explore,go from place to place and see what you can find.
Every game seems to work a very similar concept every time but it always work. They all feel very familiar but yet every time I pop in a new Zelda game the experience feels familiar yet fresh. There is always just so much content packed into any one of these games that you know when ever you seen a Zelda title on the shelf, you know you are going to get one hell of an adventure.
Favorite game in the franchise? I actually really like Twilight Princess,the entire game was just massive. I mean walking from one end of Hyrule field to the other would take a honest amount of time. I loved the story,I loved the items(ball and chain FTW) and love almost everything about it. Even still, I hold Ocarina of Time on a very high pedestal. It was the first Zelda to be feature in 3 dimensions ushering in a new and exciting era for the franchise and to me, everything was done perfectly. The controls,the story, just the game itself was a masterpiece. It was such a pure experience that no game I've played before or since has given me such an undiluted everlasting emotion every time I play it. Everything about the game is wonderful and I never get bored of it. A timeless classic that every gamer should play, even if they are generations apart.
Least favorite game in the franchise. Now, I might take some heat for this but as much as I love the franchise, Majora's Mask would be my least favorite. Now that doesn't mean I consider it a shitty game, which its not. I just feel it tried to hard to raise the bar OoT set. I thought the story was ridiculous and even as a kid I couldn't buy into it. On top of that, I really..really disliked the 3 day time frame, it went by way to quickly. I get that it gave a sense of urgency but it just felt like the game was trying to rush me and I don't like being rushed,especially in a Zelda game. Just a number of aspects and qualities about the game that turn me off. Once I beat it I really didn't have much of a desire to play it again, I was ready to move on.
So I asked these three questions.
