mgs5 and ff15...i'm gonna go with nah-ah, although mgs5 at least had some nice stealth gameplay.

If we only talk about last gen, yakuza 7 was great, i didn't played mh rise outside of the demo but from what i played i vastly prefer world and infamous 3 was hit and miss, horizon only has one game but the sequel looks good.

I have a lot of favourite sagas, impossible to answer really.

That would destroy mass effect, splinter cell, Last of us, Thief, silent hill, fallout, sims/simcity, Need for speed, Mario and so many other franchises. Pretty much only Hitman, Witcher, devil may cry, resident evil, Deus Ex and Zelda would be left behind I think among the most notable ones.

Hmmm
Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts... Nope
Fallout 76... Nope
Gears 5... Nope but would look at future sequels
Forza Horizon 4... Definite yes
Perfect Dark Zero... Hard no
Zelda BOTW... Definite yes
Mario Odyssey... Yes

Persona 5 Strikers - it's obviously not as good as Persona 5 Royal but i think i'd have still been a fan if it was only for that game.
Bloodborne - i'll just say it's part of the "soulsborne" series. it's the best game From Software have made.
BOTW - it is the best Zelda so yes.

Gran Turismo Sport - yep the game looks and plays amazing (never cared for the RPG elements)

Halo 5 - nope. Odd controls, ugly forge/prefab maps, awful art design

Street Fighter V - nope. Just feels so clunky, and they don’t know how to create fun yet challenging AI in this day and age

Zelda, final fantasy, dragon quest, xenogears.

Yes to all except final fantasy 15. I like the game ok but I probably would never have bought it if I hadn't played the series. I actually like anime-style games since they somehow remind me of the super Nintendo era of gaming.. ff4 and 6 and Chrono trigger were absolutely anime inspired. I would probably incorrectly assume that F15 is more like other Sony cinematic stuff that I don't buy.. all the god of war, last of us, etc. stuff.

RE8... Nope. RE for me is a tps and I loathe Ethan.

Destiny 2... Nah. The latest expansion was boring.

Battlefield... Nope. V was terrible for me.

Ghost Recon... Fuck that shit. Breakpoint is atrocious.

Assassin's Creed... Odyssey did that to me. I didn't even see the gameplay of Valhalla.

Everything else... I think... Yes.

Going off stuff in my top ten:

Resident Evil - nope
Silent Hill - nope
Final Fantasy - Nope
Persona - maybe assuming we're talking vanilla 5/PQ2
Castlevania - Lords of Shadow 2 was last right? Hell nope
Vampire - If we're talking the weird follow-ups to Savior probably. Obviously they aren't as good as vanilla but I'd probably still like them.
Elevator Action - yes if we're excluding remakes.
Eyeshield 21 - no, if we're going by the Nintendo/PSP games
 
I don't know if it's still my favorite, but for a long time, Final Fantasy was my go to answer. After FFXV - no. I absolutely hate that that game is a numbered Final Fantasy game.

My other answer is Resident Evil. RE8 was fine, but I'm mainly biggest on the first few games and, now, their remakes.

If FF15 was the only game then it would be a no. The game had some good parts and I really enjoyed the music and vibe sometimes but they fail at creating an interesting open world.

Devil May Cry V I would be okay with the series. It was enjoyable but not my favorite in the series.

Still waiting on a mega man legends 3 game. Most of the games i really liked back in the day haven't been made in recent years so I've forgotten about how I feel about the last games like shadow hearts, wild arms, final fantasy tactics, and rhapsody.

That'd be Dark Souls 3, so yeah definitely.
Not only would I like it, I'd probably like more than now because my only real issue with DS3 is that some of the locations feel a bit recycled from the previous game (the castle with the dragon, the swampy area, the dungeon/jail, etc).

Note: I'm a die hard fan of games that just present you tools and everything else is up to you as long as you complete the mission(s). I believe games that allow you to play how you want, within the technological limits of gameplay and your own creativity/imagination, presents more freedom than any open world game. Everything in my list is more or less an example of what I mean by this.

Hitman - latest game: Hitman 3 in the reboot trilogy - Hell yeah.

Prey - latest game: Prey (reboot) - One of my all time favorites, yes. Also, the Mooncrash DLC is probably the best DLC ever made for a game.

Dishonored - latest game: Dishonored 2 - Yep, I'm heavily into freedom of gameplay.

Thief - latest game: Thief (the reboot) - Nope. Original trilogy? Then yes.

System Shock - latest game: System Shock 2 - One of the OG's in my favorite genre, so yes.

Fallout: latest game: Fallout 4 - Yes, especially with the continued mod support.

TES - latest game: Skyrim super very special deluxe esport edition - Yes, read Fallout for why.

Deus Ex - latest game: Mankind Divided - Yes, multiple options in how your approach missions and play.

Unequivocally the greatest of all time, and at its best with its most recent installment:

Just keeps getting better with age.

Yes if we count the Mass Effect Legendary Edition; No if we don’t count the Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

I really did not like Andromeda.
