>>730795243>Nioh>Xenoblade if X counts>Death End Re;QuestWouldn't say it was good, but I liked the story somewhat.>Project DivaIn two ways -- I never actually touched the first one until years later but realized just how much of an upgrade 2nd was when I did.>ToukidenI still cleared the entirety of Kiwami (never played the original) for some reason, but 2 was a massive improvement.>Risk of Rain>L4DMostly for the "fun with friends" and not because I actually wanted to play it.>(hopefully) Code VeinI think that's about it.

I'm praying to god this is Suikoden because the first game is smoke and mirrors with a forced party for 90% of the game and a meh plot. But everyone says Suikoden is a top series and 2 is next.

>>730795551>Are there any game series where the game got progressive better with every entry?Numbered Wario Land games (even this is a stretch because I'm excluding two later games on a technicality and I like 2 more than 3, but most people like 3 more than 2 I feel like)

>>730795295i had a friend who hated DA:O and beat DA2 like 6 times. his main criticism was 'you press X and watch them fight', and apparently mashing X instead was what his peabrain needed.I sometimes wonder how much his shit taste contributed to the end of our friendship
mass effect
>>730797990So fucking wrong
>>730795243Why people bother with a sequel if the first game was shit?
Rayman. The first game is just another 2D platformer. 2 is still one of the best 3D platformers ever made and arguably aged the best when compared to most of the other 3D platformers from its era.

>>730795243Dark Souls 2 is complete shit and a waste of time to bother playing again
>>730795329This couldn't get into the first game with how buggy it was. Was able to watch a friend play it through the end

>>730795523I don't fight retards.
>>730795243Explain
>>730795329the first game is the only good one
>>730795295Me and my friend agree 2 is better but I still think DA:O was completely dog shit through and through
>>730795243Saints Row
>>730795563they are both good but 2 is way more crazy
>>730795243MGS (unironically)
>>730795551If you forget about Bioshock 2 you could make this argument for System shock > System Shock 2 > Bioshock > Bioshock Infinite (Bioshock Infinite being debatable)
>>730795551Unironically true for the Elder Scrolls
>>730795243Hitman
>>730795243Witcher 1 vs Witcher 2
>>730798264The final boss fight looks like a cluster fuck.
XCOM (The Reboot Franchise)I like XCOM 1 just the visuals are so blocky and Overwatch Spam being the meta makes the game so tedious at times especially for clearing those fucking battleships. In addition XCOM 2 making overwatch sequenced instead of everyone mag dumping onto the first target that appears was objectively the correct design choice.
>>730795329Wrong. The setting alone made the game good for at least one playthrough.
Street fighter 1 because the controls are so horrid it is basically luck to pull off a QCF or DPTekken 1 because it had jumping which is still kept today for zero reason and is extremely uselessRatchet and clank 1 because it's literally the only game without natural strafing, level ups armor or anything fun, it has a big titty easter egg so that's cool I guess
>>730795243not really the entire series but nfs underground 2 beats the ever living shit out of nfsu1 in every possible way
Legacy of Goku - anyone who's played this can attest to had shit the first one isMegaman Battle Network - more in retrospect I think, the first isn't terrible it's just that much worse than everything afterwardsHylics - the second one blows the first out of the water

>>730795290>>730795293Came here to post this. Kingdom Hearts 1 Is such a fucking slog and there's too much of only original disney. Kingdom Hearts 2 Is perfect, BBS, 358, and Dream Drop are great, and 3 Is complete garbage until the very last world.
