Every game /thread niggers

You mean "peaked"?

Fatal Frame
Silent Hill
MediEvil

Well, when you're a series consisting of one game, it'd be disgrace if it wasn't the pinnacle.

>>315335429
I still think X2 is true peak of the x series on dificulty, music and gameplay, though X1 will always be in my heart

It tried some things, but I don't feel they all paid off. It was still better than the ride armor system in X3 though. That could have been handled much smarter.

CV1 is really good, but not sure if i would call it the best.

>Fatal Frame
Except FF2 was better in every way aside from difficulty. Maybe story and location too.

The real answer is pic-related.

>>315339145
>Devil May Cry
>worst combat in any real DMC game except for DMC2
>best in the series
Fuck no, the combat is too slow and limited compared to other games in the series.

Best overall aesthetics though.

I feel like that's cheating. I also feel sad sometimes.

Technically it's the first of the 3D revival games and if you want to argue even further, it's just an enhanced version of the first game anyway.

Still, none of the other 3D games come close.

x4 is at the same level as x1

>>315341851
Woolly World may not be as good, but I still think it's a worthy follow-up. For once in 20 years...

>>315342460

...oh wait there was that DS spin-off, wasn't there? did anyone even play that?

>>315335429
X 2 = X > X 3 > X 5 > X 6 > X 4

X2 is just as good as X

>>315342954
>X6 not lowest
Nigger. Although I admit that the first six X games were all good. At least you put X5 at the top of the PS pile, most people get that wrong.

>>315342954
>>315343086
X6 and 7 are both irredeemable trash
8 was surprisingly okay though

Rondo and CV3 > CV1

>>315343086
X5 is inferior to X4 in every way.

>>315335546
This guy gets it.

>>315335429
mega man x is still mega man. It's like saying CoD Modern Warfare is the first game in the series.

>>315344015
>Paper Mario and Mario Kart are the same series

>>315343638
except voice acting

>>315342693
I did. It was cute.

>>315344171
>Contrasting an RPG spinoff and kart racer spinoff is totally the same as contrasting two platformers

>>315343461
Not him but better interface, fusion system, dungeons and you can't autobattle 99% of the game. It's an upgrade, backtracking aside.

That's retarded, Mega Man and X series have very different gameplay approaches and mechanics. That's not even counting the other Mega Man spin-offs that deviate from their originator even further.

Meanwhile every Call of Duty since Modern Warfare (maybe COD3 actually) has been the exact same shit, just with a different skin.

>>315345564
I wish I could feels as happy as that fat guy. Also if Mega man x counts than I think Assassin's Creed 2-1 counts as the best Assassin's Creed 2 game.

>>315342954
Put X4 above X5 and X6

Baldur's Gate
Dragon Age

>>315335429
X3 a best.

>>315335954
Silent Hill 3 is better.

>>315337615
genwunners plz go.

>>315339286
CV3 and Rondo.

>>315343086
Because X4 is the best one? You're bad.

>>315346810
DXHR was better in a lot of ways. Hard to say which was "best."

>>315348417
You're bad at opinions, you should stop having them.

>>315335429
Spyro
Ape Escape
