So we count those also which have had more than 3 games as long as focus is in a trilogy? Since success usually means more games.

Trails in the Sky trilogy
Resident Evil
Onimusha
Super Mario Bros.
Street Fighter Alpha
Marvel vs. Capcom
Megaman X
Sonic the Hedgehog
Uncharted
Gran Turismo

The only trilogy there is Trails imo. Uncharted wasn't focused on the first three that's for sure and definitely not the likes of GT or Sonic. The only grey one is Onimisha, but I still think it's four games.

A trilogy is just three related works. Doesn't matter if there are more. As I told B-Cell on Gamespot in this same thread, MGS is a duology, a trilogy, a tetralogy and a pentalogy. There is nothing about exclusivity in the definitions that I've found.

most people think trilogies are consist of 3 games but infact trilogies ended in 3 games or either subseries/saga. like mass effect have 4 games but it can count as trilogy because 4th one is different saga.

thats why it was hard for me to pick a trilogy because most games i like are not in trilogies.

What does that mean for a series like MGS, which was supposed to end at MGS2, then again at 3, then again at 4? Kojima always changed his mind. Star Wars didn't stop being a trilogy just because of the prequels, as your Mass Effect example illustrates. The Sonic trilogy is a legitimate trilogy.

A Quadrilogy is a story contained in four parts. Where MGS was supposed to end is irrelevant, a series can be moved along at any point it wants so he's clearly moved the series beyond a trilogy.

Star Wars isn't a trilogy and you'll find that agreement if you look beyond the simple use of marketing each set of three movies. For the movie series, it's now a story contained in eight parts, buy that will be re-defined soon.

I actually agree really, which is why I considered TitS to be a trilogy.

Resident Evil Nemesis in no way concludes a Saga though. Onimusha? Extremely grey if you know the story of Dreams. Mario? Not a chance. Three games on one system is the best you can get, but technically, the Nes only housed two Mario games In the series.

Uncharted I don't really need to mention, it's four continuing games and 'The Uncharted Trilogy' makes no sense now.

A trilogy stands for three related parts of a series; but when there are four, it officially becomes a quadrilogy. That puts out Uncharted, Jak, Resident Evil, Sonic etc.

As for Gran Turismo? There's no relation in game so it makes no sense.

I'm still working on my PS4 backlog. It's been a pain of a system for me as I've gone though four of them now; two regular PS4's and two Pro's...

I've lost a lot of progress due to the hardware failures, one was Omega Quintet which I was quite far into. I've pushed myself to start it again though.

@minamik said in [Official] What are you playing?:

@sacred-arfaid I don't mean in the sense of lifting anything straight from Ar Nosurge and putting it into an Atelier game. (although a mix of Atelier and Ar Tonelico would certainly be interesting). Just, going through the entirety of Ciel Nosurge, and continuing it into Ar Nosurge, you can tell that they put a lot of thought and work into the story and characters, where the Atelier games feel pretty mmm...lighthearted? I like the Atelier series, don't get me wrong, it's weirdly, relaxing, in a way, but I've never played one that felt as well thought out as the work they put into the Surge Concerto series of prequels to Ar Tonelico.

Two drastically different series. I adore both, but I'd never expect the the same priorities for both. Atelier goes for slice of life and it just works for the series. It tried a slightly different approach with the Iris trilogy, but it just took away from its unique identity the series had.

I spent a long time reading into Ciel Nosurge before I started Ar and It soon shot up as one of my favourite series. Atelier doesn't need that though, it's a completely different beast.

Have you tried Mana Khamia? It might fit the bill for you.

@sheria I've also never beaten Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts. I got up to the last level of the first run.

It really is much harder than the other games in the series. Ghost 'n Goblins and Ghouls 'n Ghosts on the Mega Drive I've beaten a few times.

I had heard the Megadrive version was more manageable somehow, I've never tried it though.

I just can't get on with how Arthur jumps though, combine that with a very questionable frame rate and I just keep messing up when I shouldn't. The way chests work winds me up and my patience was just tested too much on stage two because of the slow scrolling raft section. I just can't see myself going back to it.

Ghouls 'n Ghosts on the Mega Drive is not a different version but a completely different game and it's much better in my opinion.
The frame rate is not so bad in that game and it doesn't have that terrible double jump.
You can also shoot up and downwards which is nice ^_^.

Wow, really? I know what I'm playing next.

That said, I still feel defeated.

@sheria The god damn ghosts in level 2. I'm climbing a ladder here, eff off!

Haha. Yeah, I cant even find a damn pattern for them.

I personally played FFXI for one year on PC, so that was my first experience with an MMO. 2004-5 saw me struggle to get anywhere as the grind, even in a group, was so incredibly slow. It finally reached a point that I was done with crabs and goggle men.

I was fairly casual with WoW initially, I took a long time to reach 60 and it was only because of a wonderful guild that I got to try BRS and such. That guild could only get so far though. We killed Ragnaros, but couldn't make progress in BWL. I reluctantly left my first guild for another where their members were spending the same amount of time devoted to the game that I was (8 hours a day). I joined as main tank and we soon cleared BWL, AQ40 and about half of Naxx before the expansion.

There's so much more I like about vanilla though and its mostly in the leveling process and detail in each and every quest. Even if I never raid again, to experience the long questlines that littered Vanilla and took you all over will be more than enough.

Anyone else jumping into Classic?

I honestly can't believe I'm creating this thread, but here we are. An experience captured in time (2005) is finally given the chance to replicate the magic. Do I think it's possible? No. Back in 2005 people were still new to the internet, the game itself and also with general online, social communication. I do feel the shyness and inexperience played a large part in what made Vanilla WoW such a memorable time. That said, the game wasn't infested with the 'Quality of life' nonsense that current WoW has, and it appears that this is such a large pull that Blizzard has risked this release.

I welcome both old and new players looking to experience classic WoW to come discuss the long awaited Vanilla WoW re-release.

I've finally started up Left Alive. Right off the bat I could see it was a game for me, but reading review after review, each one just cemented that feeling even more.

Every review I read gave me deja-vu for when I was looking into Alpha Protocol; a fantastic game that was heavily put down mostly because of graphics, animation and mechanics that appeared a generation behind. Graphics and Character animation I personally find irrelevant, but old school mechanics are almost always a plus these days.

I'm not too far in yet, but I can tell already that I'm sticking with this one for quite a while.
