For decades, Zelda was mine as well Troy. Nothing wrong with that. A Link to the Past, Wind Waker, Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess are all great and beautiful games. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. 


The Legend of Zelda series is a strong #2 for me now. Just behind Resident Evil.

It's always been close between Mega Man and Castlevania for me.
Sucks that both series are a bit dead right now.

I have to say the Metal Gear Solid franchise was good to me. I love how they intertwined actual events with fiction.

Final Fantasy 

Sims 
Zelda
GTA 
Pokemon 

I just have tons of favorites. Right now I'm playing FFXIV so I've been obsessed with that. Sims will always hold a special place in my heart even though EA is just sucking with them.

My “favorite” tends to change, but at the moment, it’s Halo or Metroid games. Just scored Zero Mission for my GBA. REALLY stoked about that. Yard sale find. Beautiful label. My Christmas present to myself

As basic as an answer as it may be, Mario. I’ve been trying to play a greater variety of games recently to try and help attack my backlog, but of everything I’ve played thus far, Mario is probably the most consistent franchise. If a new Mario game is in my sights, it’s a safe bet it’s worth my time and money.

My favorite franchise tends to vary from time to time between two major ones.

Legend of Zelda (the mainline games; The ones on the 3DO are the only Zeldas I don't like.)

Megaman (All of them. Capcom did very good with anything Megaman.)

Man this is a tough decision because there is more than one I go to constantly. But I’ll settle and say Tomb Raider.

My favorite would have to be the Fallout series! Got into it because of the Alternate History channel made a video of its series' timeline. Was really drawn into it by the detailed lore of the Pre War world, and I absolutely fell in love with the lore after The Great War. There is so many stories to learn with this series, not to mention the music in the games, especially the first two. This is the game series that I always go back to, whether if it is listening to the soundtracks, listening to lore videos in the background, or just playing the games.

The Legend of Zelda series would have to be my all time favorite. I grew up playing the games and it will always have a special place in my heart. 

Also love Minecraft, probably the 2nd choice with God of war as 3rd, and Assassins creed being the 4th. 

I have been interested in playing the fnaf series but would like a pc gaming setup first before I play those so that I would have better quality gaming then on my laptop.
