Hey everyone. Hope all of your weekends have been refreshing and relaxing. This week I’ve been at it with some Stronghold Crusader remastered and Balatro. Hope you all have a good week!

    Has anyone here ever played through a game series? Like, not over the years but as a concerted effort? I did that for Zelda like 12 years ago, but I haven’t done it since. I kinda’ want to do it with Final Fantasy or something, but IDK. Not sure what series I should do another one with. Oh, I guess I did it with Silent Hill, sorta (up to SH Shattered Memories).

      Like someone else said, Yakuza would be good for that since 0-6 is pretty much one connected story. I would wait for Kiwami 3 to come out next year though since Yakuza 3 has by far the worst combat in the series.

      Only had 3 entries at the time, but I went through the dragon age series before the latest came out. It was pretty fun to watch the evolution of the series. 2 was much better than I remembered at launch, and I think Origins had some serious nostalgia propping up its legacy (it’s still good tho).

      I’ve tried a few times but it’s usually with older games and there’s something frustrating enough about it that I don’t really want more immediately and need to let it settle. Like I was gonna play all of the God of War games but there are some fights that are just bullshit in the first one, I was gonna play all the Sly Cooper games but there’s some areas with really bad detection for your crook to grab onto, I was going to play all of the Metal Gear Solid games but I think the top down camera angle thing in the first one honestly sucks. I’m probably just picky though.

      Yakuza might be a good one, although long.

      Yeah, I played through the Ys series some years ago up to VIII, which was the newest game at the time. I did give up on some of the ones that weren’t good, mainly V.
