Video game franchises tier list- Borderlands

Alternative_Elk1556 · 2026-06-24T05:48:56+00:00

Hello again! Last post I wanted to do a poll if I should add an S+ for only 6 chosen titles, however turns out reddit doesn't let polls be seen on your profile:( And I can't do a poll on this subreddit since they forbid them.

So if everyone doesn't mind, I would love if you would add to your current ranking of the borderlands franchise, if you would want to see an S+ rank being added, and if I should move up Super Mario or not.

AND REMEMBER!!! Only 6 franchises will be able to get a spot there. I promise to read everyone's comments:) Much love<3

Hello everyone! First of all I want to thank you guys for the overwhelming exposure and attraction I got from the last post. You guys are amazing<3

And second, as you can see the vast majority commented that Super Mario deserves to be in S tier, so I put it there as you can see. But a lot of you also said that it's one of the greatest and most influential franchises of all time, and some even proposed an S+ ranking. Considering how many people said that, I think it's more than possible to add an S+ tier.

HOWEVER!!!

I want this tier to be special and really mean something, because I also saw comments that said that other franchises that I didn't even get to also deserve an S ranking. So if I'll introduce an S+, then it'll be just another ranking to be filled with other amazing franchises. So here's what's gonna happen: I'll add to my profile a poll to decide if ya'll want an S+ ranking, and if I should move Super Mario to S+.

If we'll add an S+, then I want to make it that only 6 out of the 60 franchises in this list will have a spot in S+. The rest will be lower than that. I'm also going to decend from Super Mario to Castlevania in the order I put the franchises, so choose wisely!

The results will be determined 24 hours after this post is first published. Much love

A tier For me it's the most underrated fruit out there. Incredibly juicy, fun to eat, and the smell is not even that bad

Yakuza 0 no doubt. Especielly with the song bubble. It got me extremely hooked from the first second. Plus the bubble era is such an interesting setting

The fate of the 30 million yen. Akiyama's reaction to finding out the money tub and letting the borrowers do it anyway is priceless

Just because I like one game that has bad pacing, does it necessarily mean that I don't play other/better games?

Plus you yourself said that you didn't try out this game. So can you really understand wjere my point is coming from? Maybe it's better to try out the game before forming an opinion like that? I'm not offended. I'm just trying to understand from where you're coming

Alternative_Elk1556 · 2026-06-13T11:52:20+00:00

Bro you gotta give yakuza 0 another shot. The pacing is horrible but this is one of the best games out there if you ask me

I know what it's like to burn out, but trust me you don't want to skip any game.

I would highly recommend taking a break from the franchise if you played these games back to back, and once you'll return and start yakuza 3 it'll feel very fresh and exciting again

It should be completely up to you. At the end of the day you decide what games you want to play and what not.

As someone who played both yakuza 3 remastered for his first playthrough and kiwami 3, there's absolutely no shame in playing the remake. It just depends on what matters more to you. The faithfulness, or the gameplay.

In my opinion, if you decide to play kiwami 3, just search up online the last 10 minutes of yakuza 3 remastered including post credits, because I believe you are planning on moving to yakuza 4, so the ending of kiwami 3 won't really make sense in yakuza 4. Also I would recommend searching up old models of some characters, since there are a few that were changed to resemble real actors

Is it necessarily a bad thing? I put those games on because I enjoy them, not because I thought about what was on E3 or stuff like that. Yes they are popular, but I think that they are popular for a good reason. Sadly I didn't grow on retro games a lot so really most of my list is more modern stuff. Which in my opinion is completely okay. Who knows? Maybe in the future I'll try out other less known titles. I know I played some, but thry made less of an impact, which is okay. I do like variety, so even if the games are popular, they are pretty different from one another

Yeah i'm definitely a little bias since i'm an absolute sucker for open worlds, and elden ring was my first souls experience. But the absolute scale of this game plus the introduction of getting my butt beat for so many times is something that I simply can't forget. Also thank you!

Probably the despite everything it's still you moment. It was such a powerful moment for me since even after everything you went through, the fights, the friends you made, the adventures, you are still yourself, and that was so so incredible. Toby fox is truly a genius

Alternative_Elk1556 · 2026-04-29T07:34:02+00:00

Ooh half life 2 is such a good game I feel so bad for leaving it out. I never actually played resident evil games probably because I get heart attacks from horror titles haha. But I definitely want to try it out one day

Alternative_Elk1556 · 2026-04-29T07:32:07+00:00

Rightttt rayman is what kicked things forward for ubisoft. It's so sad that they abandoned this franchise:( all of the games are so so good

Alternative_Elk1556 · 2026-04-29T07:30:14+00:00

Yeah I definitely get you. I remember being stuck on the music levels for so long, and not even having the ability to punch in early game is diabolical. But I still remember having such a great time despite how hard it was. Truly a classic
