It's unfortunate that so few people have played Shenmue 2 and most people think exclusively of the first game or the third game when they think of the franchise. I personally think the first two games are both masterpieces but 1 is much more of a flawed masterpiece. No.1 is going to be the most controversial I feel since Shenmue is so divisive.
#Top 10 sega games series
In the case of a game series, only one title from the series could be selected.Factors considered included historical impact, innovation and quality.Eligibility: any game ever developed or published by SEGA, regardless of platform.IGN Japan's top 10 Sega games of all time: I realise I'm slightly LTTP with this as this was published a few weeks ago now but couldn't see any threads on it and was interested to get NeoGAF's thoughts. I would easily place Daytona USA above it in both quality and importanceĪll in all, this is a very Japan centric list, which is to be expected I guess, but therefore it's also kinda incorrect imo that game literally launched the MegaDrive into orbit, you could debate Sonic 1 did, but I think Sonic 2 was by far the most popular one and solidified it as an IPĪlso on a global scale Golden Axe was an important IP for Sega, but IMO the quality of them was always wonky at best (very mediocre beat em ups across the board)įor the rest on the list, yeah, they are definitely debatable to be on the list, Valkyria Chronicles is a bit niche tho, and not outstandingly great in any way,Īnd Nights into Dreams? I know it has its fans, but was it impactful? was it especially amazing? it was alright, and it has a cult following but. If you go by Quality and Cultural impact, Sonic 2 IS BY FAR the highest on the list for Sega. Its absolute lack of any quality outweighs its cultural impact imo it can be enjoyed the way The Room can be enjoyed, as a sarcastic "look how fuckign shit this is lol" way. FUUUCK no! Sonic Adventure is pure trash.
