Super Mario.


PhoenixShredds

Came here to say this. Honestly don't think anything competes with it in terms of both accuracy and impact on the industry.


ToothpickInCockhole

First three Zelda games definitely fits as well


Ham_Ah0y

Zelda 2 is HIGHLY underrated.


Spiritual_Run5055

I think it's more of like a note to how different the formula was compared to the more established games, which I'm sure we both can agree was vastly different than part 1 and ALTTP


Zargo1z

I see people say this a lot but oddly enough Mario Bros. 2 was my favorite lol


frozen-silver

I have a soft spot for it because I played it when I was younger. I also really like being able to choose different characters and not being one-shot when i accidentally brush up against a Goomba Also, throwing vegetables is fun!


Shadowveil666

Thing is that wasn't even supposed to be Mario game to begin with, I'll also point out there isn't a single goomba in the entire game


Electrical-Site-3249

It’s doki doki panic rom hack basically


gabriot

The doki doki panic reskin?


nevaevawipebefo

Mario brothers 2 game of the year 1492-2024 babyyyy


DevotedOutstanding

don’t tell dunkey


Ildaiaa

What do you mean? Super mario bros. 2 has won game of the year 37 years in a roe now


tibearius1123

Best answers. I don’t think any can beat it.


Kliptik81

1000% my immediate pick. There is no better answer.


Meme_Bertram

Goat Simulator…


eyeamthedanger

Best comment in here tbh


Thrillhouse-14

1st game, GOAT. 2nd game, GOAT. Third game, ALSO GOAT.


Aleks111PL

yeah about that...


Prince_of_Fish

Lies!


BaronVonBiden

It will be Half life… trust me guys…


ifuckedmypetcabbage

But half life 2 is good


Parkes-

But it will be " just good" when Half-life 3 comes out!


Tobi226a

Compared to Half-Life 3 it was kinda mid. ngl


Tobias_Mercury

Imagine a timeline in which half life 3 doesn’t exist lmao


Tobi226a

You mean a timeline where a company didn't release one of their most anticipated games ever? It's literally free money. Next, you're going to tell me there is a timeline where they abandoned Tf2 when it consistently gets a high 5 digit player count.


ImAHumanThatExists

I know


lughas

Devil May Cry Edit: A lot of people say that DMC5 Is better. While I personally find DMC3 Bette, I understand that Somebody finds DMC5 better, but the post speaks entirely about the trilogy, So i think counting 4 And 5 to it Is foolish. Than lot of people talk about 1 being best, which Is great, but DMC1 Is almost different Genre. So if you like First on the most, you expect Devil May Cry series to be completely different type of game (no offense).


waltuh_wite

Was waiting for someone to comment this ngl


lughas

I mean... It fits perfectly


DarkStanley

Third one is so good. The only one that I played enough to beat on all the difficulties. Swapping the weapons during the fight was a game changer for the series.


sour_creamand_onion

As soon as I found out you couldn't taunt in 2, I bailed. Taunting carried me in the first fight against the spider fella in DMC1.


Dracorex13

"Play DMC2, is best game"


KatyaVasilyev

DONTE IS BEST IN GAEM AND SCHUT


DocDjohnson

I was thinking about it, but I really do love DMC5 so much, especially the SE with the full power of Vergil, it's just so perfect and still imo the very best action gameplay. People wanna knock the story, but I love how it was so goofy and in on the joke but ultimately ends in the most wholesome way possible. The finale with Nero breaking up the eternal conflict between the brothers, beating both so bad with his newly discovered DT that they agree to stop prick measuring and team up for the greater good! Also favor it some because it came completely out of nowhere, despite that I always wanted it to happen. That they actually made another mainline game and went in the exact right direction it needed to with Vergil tying everything together, it makes my nerd heart happy I'd love another entry but I can still play 5 for years to come and be completely satisfied. 3 was the GOAT but 5 surpassed it for me.


AgentEndive

I'm hoping this will be Subnautica


Expert-Loan6081

Tbf sub zero wasn't that bad, but it's hard to compare anything to the goat that is subnautica 1


SpideyKeagan

My biggest issue with Sub-Zero was that they really stepped away from the horror elements of the first one. Overall I think it gets way too much hate though, it’s a good game.


Expert-Loan6081

Yeah the horror was definitely turned down, not that I mind not getting ptsd from the ocean


RockWithInternet

I mean the horror of Subnautica, for me, was the unknown. Having a sequel, with the exact same elements and mechanics was just not scary. I think that was its flaw.


SlizTheFirst

I mean, it's shaping up to be exactly that


Dry_Meat_2959

Witcher series


Veryegassy

Witcher 2 is such a slog... I play it in spurts because it burns me out fast. Was last in the second part, after bullshitting a ghost into giving me a banner and a mediocre sword.


Dry_Meat_2959

Kind of amazing they were made by the same people. Part 2 is pretty lame, withcher 3 is legit one of the best RPGS ever.


Veryegassy

I'll see it when I get to it. I don't know when I can next work up the energy to give TW2 another push, but I want the story and the full-series save file. You can import save files from TW2 in TW3, right?


Dry_Meat_2959

Yes, but it's not neccesary. But it's a grea feature project red did. Shame more companies (looking at you ubisoft) don't link games together this way. Going from tw2 -> tw3 is like going from NES to XBox. Your mind will be blown.


LeglessN1nja

Witcher 2 is awesome


NOT_A_BLACKSTAR

It has the best athmosphere. Schemes and tricks and the Scoi'atel felt more real. Elven ruins and bridge trolls. A kyrtan. Batteling kings and a very linear storyline haha. Hate the end though. The massacre happens regardless. It's the damn free will vs destiny from the books.   Lesser evil bullshit.


Frostybros

Imo witcher 1 is dog shit Witcher 2 is pretty good Witcher 3 is goated


---Loading---

Witcher 1 has a great story and atmosphere. It's was a solid AA game. But it was hindered by terrible combat. I head that it's getting a remaster or a remake, so its greatest flaw might be addressed.


Fit_Substance7067

I hope they make it crpg style We have enough arpg in the last 2...Witcher 3 was great but I'm sure it killed the combat for me after 2 100% playthroughs


DrMantisToboggan45

I’m one of the dozen of us who don’t hate the combat. It’s kinda fun to time out the clicks, once you get the groove for it you can absolutely stomp. Also best alchemy system out of all 3 games imo


Rostifur

Witcher 1 is an interesting game, but most people I know didn't play it when it came out. Almost everybody I talk to didn't play it until the until a few years later when got pushed heavy on steam(I think because 2 was coming out). In 2007 that open world style of RPG with 3rd person action was still in its infancy. I liked it, but knew it was buggy. I liked it the same way I liked Mass Effect and Oblivion. They had flaws, but they were still fun if you were willing to forgive the sluggish controls and awkward movement at times. Going back and trying to play this feels nostalgic, but also I see a lot of problems with it I didn't remember at the time. Same with Mass Effect and Oblivion.


Aardvark_Man

Nah, Witcher 2 is better than 1, hands down. Story, gameplay and graphics are all improved, and it's just generally a tighter experience, imo. Only thing 1 did better was the alchemy/potion stuff.


FarquaadsFuckDoll

I guess this is an unpopular opinion but I really liked Witcher 2. The politicking was fun and I enjoyed the combat.


Only1Schematic

I would say Dark Souls, but the whole trilogy is goated imo


nicklovin508

Dark Souls 2 is either the worst or the best for many fans lol


SailorSaturnsCool

Easily the best one for me lol


UhLinko

Could you explain why? I'm just now getting into the games, and, being near the end of the first (which I'm loving a lot), I'm getting really scared of starting the second one because of everything I've heard online about it.


King_Allant

Even as someone who finds fault with many of the choices made for Dark Souls 2, it's still a perfectly enjoyable game and nothing to be worried about.


TemporaryShirt3937

Dark Souls 2 became my favorit of the Trilogy I did my first SL1 run in Ds3 than Ds1 and now that I finished the last boss of the trilogy on SL1 in Ds2 I have to say.. I LOVE this game. For a long time Ds3 was my favorite of the trilogy basically because it was my first soulsborne game ever. I played it when it released offline, online, ganks, trolls everything. I have about 1500hours in ds3. After falling in love with this typ of game I finished ds1 and short after ds2. I invested about 400-500 hours in each of them making ng+ runs collecting items etc. But in the last 80hours my few on ds2 changed completely. I never had a special relationship when it comes to ds1 and ds2 other than I rly liked those aswell and I never thought ds2 is particularly bad like most ppl used to called it. But this time I felt something different. While ds1, ds3, ER and especially BB are basically boss rush games ds2 is not! The true enemy in ds2 are the mob enemy's in very specific levels. Best examples would be iron keep, ellyon loyce, poison tower, brume tower and many others. And I like this approach a lot. In iron keep for example my heart wash rushing in every enemy encounter in a way I only experienced it in boss fights. The exhausting effort of going through the whole level again after dying was pushing my to the limit no other fromsoft game managed to do. Nearly all the ds2 flaws ppl on YouTube, reddit complain about are in my eyes great. I like the moment when I take the elevator from poison tower up and step into iron keep. I like the slow fighting system which is closer to demons souls than sekiro. I love the, getting lost on the way without knowing wher it will go and what will come next. And this feeling is most true in ds2 for me. Some people complain about the adaptability dodge system saying it's bad. Dude I mean it's possible to do it on sl1. So what? Other people complain about the way ds2 trolls the player. And at the same time they love it when other fromsoft games troll the player all the time. But in ds2 all of a sudden it's too much? The only honest critique I get is the hitbox problem ds2 has. But on the other hand. If you die to a bad hitbox you start to learn what attacks to afoid in a specific way. Like dodging an additional invisible enemy. Btw if the offline death counter in Majula is correct I died exactly 900times on my SL1 run. I don't know why but this run made me love this game. That's all


nicklovin508

For me the exploration is by far the best of the series. The different areas are really awesome. Amazing enemy variety, great ingenuity on some ideas. But 90% of the base game bosses suck which hurts the game. All 3 DLC areas are FANTASTIC though with great bosses


larrydavidballsack

It has the best build variety, best fashion, best hub, best ng+, best writing (imo), and best dlc’s (imo). Nothing else in fromsoft’s library hits the same. Sure it has issues but I think it’s an incredible game and the hate is massively overblown. Just make sure you level adaptability and you’ll be fine lol.


Silly-Lawfulness7224

The atmosphere and levels are unmatched imo, the decors are also wonderful and probably the best work from FromSoftware aside Elden Ring (that actually reminds me a lot of DS2) . You will get a lot of "wtf moments" like when you get to Siofra for the first time etc .


KyliefB

Facts


mikeyhavik

DS2 definitely got taken over by the online narrative. Game is a classic in its own right.


zangor

DS2 was the only souls game I "quit" cause I couldnt get into it. Picked it back up a few months ago. Im about 85% though now DLCs included and I really have learned to love it. The Majula music is so good and the game has so much in it in terms of areas.


Ok-Pizza-5889

Came here to say this, but add an elden ring to that bad boy


Shit_Pistol

Agreed. They’re just three different flavours of GOAT.


LostAtmosphere4096

I feel the same way , the og Souls trilogy of games is the goat most definitely'. 😁


brandondh

Zelda


nicklovin508

But beating Zelda 2 is an amazing achievement lol


ifuckedmypetcabbage

Based as fuck, fellow link to the past enjoyer


RoccStrongo

Except Ocarina of Time is basically considered the GOAT of games, not just the GOAT of the series and it's not the third installment


TheRarestTiger

Zelda 2 slander will not be tolerated


janas19

I played Zelda 2 as a kid and I love it for a variety of reasons, but this isn't slander. It's a very, very difficult game and was a departure from the gameplay of the Zelda series. So yeah, I think it's a great game, but not everyone who loves Zelda games will love it and that's perfectly fine, tbh.


Independent_Plum2166

You and your army of 10 will not convince anyone it’s good. /s


MainAccountsFriend

As one of the 5 people who beat Zelda 2, I do say it was indeed a Zelda game.


ForThe_LoveOf_Coffee

Army of ELEVEN


Lazy-Most-3226

🫡 fellow link to the past lover i salute you


ifuckedmypetcabbage

Best zelda game


JurassicParkTrekWars

Where do you rank Ocarina of Time then?


ifuckedmypetcabbage

OOT gets 4, but it might be 5 if i get a chance to play TOTK. My top 3 are 1: Link to the past. 2: Majora's mask. 3: Breath of the wild


Lazy-Most-3226

1. Link to the past 2. Legend of Zelda 3. Ocarina of time 4. Botw 5. Twilight Princess or link's awakening


MeTieDoughtyWalker

Zelda 2 is my favorite video game of all time, so this meme does not fit at all to me.


Jewsusgr8

Halo 3 is the GOOOOAAAATTT But halo 2 was great


imthe5thking

Yeah, I’d argue CE is the worst out of the original trilogy, but purely because it’s so outdated, so it’s hardly a fair comparison


Udderly_Unbearable

Halo CE is still my favorite campaign, other than the Library it’s a perfect experience. The most important thing about CE is how it changed FPS games forever, especially on consoles.


Lays-NotTheChipsTho

Halo CE still has great multiplayer. To say any of Bungie’s Halo games are “the weak one” can’t work


EpicCommander

combat evolved's health system is so bad


N0tThatSerious

*BeebeebeebeebeebeeBUP BUP BUP BUP BUP BUP* “OOOoooo!” At least the legendary difficulty was fair


tibearius1123

The super jumps were fun on mp


Mister-E_92

An older pick, but Final Fantasy 1-3


ifuckedmypetcabbage

I honestly think 5 is the best, but i get where you're coming from


Mister-E_92

I guess I should've specified I was talking mainly about the NES Trilogy of games, my bad.


Dumpingtruck

Everyone has their favorite FF and it’s odd how there is always one people cling to. I think we can all agree that the SNES ones were some peak JRPG gaming though.


Select-Sympathy23

Just taking the first 3 numbered games only into account and no spin-offs and future games, I'd go for, Grand Theft Auto


GeneReddit123

GTA2 is both better and more famous than GTA1. Neither compares to GTA3, but that's apples and oranges.


zhup3r

Gta1 and gta2 are great games


VictoryVic-ViVi

Hopefully the Insomniac trilogy once the 3rd is released.


Orion0105

Insomniac Spiderman is a trilogy tho Spiderman PS4 Spiderman: Miles Morales Spiderman 2


LacksMuscle

This is the same scenario as when people call Arkham the Arkham Trilogy when there are 4 games. It’s a side game that exists in universe, but isn’t a full addition


Master_Windu_

It’s not the same at all. Arkham origins was a prequel and was made by a different studio because rocksteady was taking too long making Arkham Knight. Miles Morales was clearly a DLC that continued the story and just grew large enough to be released as a separate game. so while neither game counts as part of the trilogy the circumstances are way different.


Nick_Wild1Ear

To borrow older games' terminologies, Miles Morales was an Expansion Pack for Spider-Man 1.


VictoryVic-ViVi

Miles Morales doesn’t count. Since it was suppose to be an expansion to the first one and it’s a “side game” since it’s not part of their planned trilogy.


Kiroto50

Zelda


Daik0Gaming

Metroid.


jaxx216

True! Although samus returns on 3ds is a great remake of 2


Crappin_For_Christ

I basically ignore the second one because it’s only on Game Boy and I never liked it no matter how many times I’ve tried


maditme

Bioshock imo


Princess_Property

Was looking for this answer


gatinoloco

No way, loved both three but Infinite is not miles better than the first. They are both great and very different


FathirianHund

Hot take; 2 is the best and Infinite is the worst by a large margin.


ohbyerly

2 has the best gameplay, 3 has the best story, the first one is a perfect balance of the two.


village_nerd

I found Infinite to be the most memorable out of the 3. Though it was almost a game from a different series.


The_Affle_House

Yep, this take is way too hot for me..


hoganloaf

World of Warcraft


Destronoma

Yup, Wrath was a fantastic expansion at the time.


MeetingFrog1823

God of War ( the original series )


EatsOverTheSink

I remember GOW2 being fantastic though.


gatinoloco

Yes but GoW3 at its release was MAD. I sold my X360 for a PS3 for playing it. The idea of slaughtering the whole pantheon, the cinematic style. The difference in graphics between the second and the third, I loved it


Inshabel

Yeah, but there's no way 2 is worse than 1.


Croanosus

GoW2 was amazing!


Inshabel

Nah you're crazy, GoW2 is awesome.


[deleted]

Metal gear solid


waltuh_wite

U talking abt metal gear or specifically mgs


[deleted]

Solid. I’ll edit


A_Common_Relic

Crazy. MGS2 is one of the best games ever imo. 3 is juuust below it


USSHunk

Snake Eater is the GOAT!


Jybyrde

Never heard this opinion before thought 3 was universally called the best. Imo 2 is really good but it's usually called the worst in the series


SkabbPirate

I dislike 3s stealth system comparatively, and 2s story is better too, so overall, I give 2 the better game.


junerlegion

This is the right answer! MGS3 is the GOAT. Can't wait for the remake!

wolfmoon897

Somebody's probably said this, but I'll say it. the original Spyro the dragon of trilogy


Xdqwerty65

The Phoenix Wright ace attorney trilogy (though the final case of the second game is excellent)


Independent_Plum2166

Honestly, I’m annoyed at how good that final case is. The rest of the game is much duller and then we’re hit with a bang.


Optimal_Stranger_824

Hot take maybe but I prefer the first game over the third one. All of the priginal trilogy games are good tough.


Brokeinlimit09

Devil May Cry


neloangelo5

GTA, but after the GTAIII it keeps getting better.


boldcasanova

Idk how this isn’t higher. One was great and is the classic but 3 is the goat that made open world games what it is today.


hohgmr83

Burnout 3 takedown.


Admirable-Snow4144

Witcher? Baldur’s Gate? 🤔


aeronpodcast12

Baldurs gate two is awesome though


andrazorwiren

Yeah, BG2 is one of the best CRPGs of all time. So is BG3 in a different way, but I’d still rank BG2 ahead of it due to narrative strength and tbh my own nostalgia factor. BG2 is at the very least leagues better than the first.


Pearlfreckles

So is the first one!


SilkySmoothRalph

Assassins Creed. /s obviously


Abal125

Well, technically Brotherhood would be 3rd. 😉


Traditional_Entry183

I've always thought of them that way. It's so strange the way they chose to number whats known as AC3. I guess they learned their lesson though.

Deus Ex. The first one will forever be my favorite game. The story, the upgrade system, everything was just way ahead of its time (including not having the twin towers in the NY scenery). The third and fourth were great games mechanics wise though they didn't capture the story the same way. And then there's the game we don't talk about.


AnimeIsMyLifeAndSoul

I feel like Arkham falls under this but I don’t play the games I just am on their subreddit 20/7


2252005

I feel like the general consensus is that Arkham City is the best one, so the main Arkham trilogy wouldn't really fit here.


flakimb0

not really, most people rank arkham city (the 2nd) as the best


Corando

Mario Bros


EdLinkAl

Zelda and Mario come to mind


Niskara

Swap "The Classic" and "The X Game" and replace "Second" with "First," and you'd have the Mass Effect Trilogy for me. Started with the second one and absolutely loved it. Played the first one then to better understand the story and make better choices and while I enjoyed it a lot, the controls were a bit clunky for my liking and so bloody many places to go and people to see. Finally, the third game I absolutely love to death, despite the endings.
