The truth is that there are almost none. Even sequels that improve most things from the original usually do something or other worse.

Pic related is the only one I can think of which is a genuine upgrade over the original in every department without exception.

Gears of War 2

Is all I can think of right now. It's hard to say, when majority if gaming community is brain dead and consider a prequel better because it gave us bigger map or shiner graphics.
>>
>>727726246
C&C Tiberian Sun (vs Tiberian Dawn)
C&C Red Alert 2
Imperium Galactica 2
Half-Life 2

Now that I think of it, sequels being superior to prequels used to be the norm until the late 2000's. It seems back then making a sequel meant taking the chance to actually improve on the original, rather than make slop that just coattails on its success.

L4D2 fucks up the ai director, first game was way better at building tension with the horde spawns since you often heard them coming for a significant time before they show up.

Also tanks stopping to finish you when they down you was far far more terrifying.

Anyone else feel like Nick's voice was unfitting? For an aging criminal, his VA sounds like a nasally nerd trying to be snarky. It makes a lot of lines that could've been memorable just come off as cringe.

>>727729292
I wouldn't say sequels were necessarily better than prequels back then, but they were good in a different way. HL2 is tonally different than 1, which was a bummer to me as I liked 1's tone. But HL2 was still good on its own. I'd like to think the recession and the balooning number of GAYMERS made gaming worse overall and made publishers think the best course of action was to pander to normies as much as possible.

MP2 - no stupid bloodline walk dreams, better set piece fights, better music, better level design, more memorable characters, it's a straight upgrade from the first game in pretty much every facet

HL2 - get your contrarian bullshit out of here. HL1 was and still is a fantastic game, but 2 mogs it in every way and set a standard for FPS games for decades
>>
>>727730489
Half Life 2 is also shit. I hate both MP2 and Half Life 2. However, MP2 stings more since MP1 is my favorite game.

The bloodline walking dreams are kino, and you were filtered. The fight set pieces were less varied and more boring. The music is absolutely worse. The level design is also much worse. Mona ruins the game, and is a terrible addition. It makes no sense why she's in the game and how she's alive. The story is complete dogshit and Max is much more annoying. The game is much easier than 1 and is completely unbalanced. The only thing I can give it is that it has a good ending and better gameplay than 1.

>>727726246
I really, really WANT to say Saints Row 2, but I vaguely remember the textures being better quality in the 1rst game.
Everything else SR2 was amazing at, though.
I figured the textures might have been a bit lower quality to expand the map and it was worth it.
That or I'm remembering wrong and SR2 was just 100% superior. Even though SR1 had some great radio stations SR2 had phenomenal ones.

I honestly prefer how the shifted to a b-tier zombies movie goofiness instead of trying to make it scarier.

All the characters are well written, and let's not pretend zoey was a great character compared to rochelle, all zoey had goin for was her cute face

I like C47 way more because of its simplicity. You can argue it sucks at the jungle levels but i'd counter that with the Japan levels in SA. The entire AI of the game feels broken and i did not enjoy my time as much.

The military at the Parish finale wouldn't have waited for them if they were just going to execute them. I think it's implied that the military finally realized the only hope they have left is with carriers because they can effectively fight the horde.
