Mario 2 is the shit though.
yeah wtf? Mario 2 is one of the best in the series
Zelda 2 was incredibly disappointing, though
Mario 2 is less "Mario" than any other game in the franchise by a mile. I get this pick.
Yeah, that's a good story about it.
And my original post meant more "at the time" since it was so different. Me, I've always loved the game. That was my original entry into speed runs (though it wasn't called that at the time) where I would pick Toad and try to beat the game as fast as possible.

Every Bond after Goldeneye felt like a letdown.
That Timesplitters 4 was never released.

Could be a nostalgic connection, but I love NightFire.

Devil May Cry 2
Grand Theft Auto 4
Metal Gear Solid 4
Crash Bandicoot 4: The Wrath of Cortex
I was tempted to put Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne as well but I feel like I might appreciate it more if I ever played it again.

I love Mario 2. For those of you not aware, there's a perfectly good explanation why it's so weird.
Watched the whole video. I was familiar with parts of that story but certainly not all of it, and this was well done and informative. Thanks tree.

After GTA San Andreas' insane scope and depth compared to Vice City, 4 felt like going backwards. Just an updated Liberty City instead of a new location, it has the worst vehicle controls of any 3D GTA game in my opinion, and Niko just wasn't a very interesting character.
GTA 5 really wasn't much better but at least that one had more memorable characters and a countryside to blow shit up in.

Gta 4 was terrible because I couldn't understand one thing anyone was saying and I needed a telescope to read the subtitles

I like 6 more, so I guess you could say its a disappointment. But mostly I just mean the franchise's downfall as a whole.

Yeah, I'm playing 15 now and it's definitely not a great FF game. Still fun to play but missing something.
