Is there any trilogy or series that actually got better as it progressed?
Dark Souls
Sonic 3 & Knuckles > 2 > 1
>>736500923Burnout
danganronpa
The Witcher
>>736500995This is probably the best example. Sonic 2 is a step-up from the first that is very similar but addresses some of the complaints, and then Sonic 3 is the best one.
>>736500923Mass Effect
>>736500923Heroes of might and magic
>>736501245to be fair, it is only the story that deteriorated. gameplay in 3 was the best of the series and the online mode was very fun
>>736500923Persona
>>736500960Kill yourself zoomer 3 is slop
Sly coops and Spyro
street fightersuper mario brosdragon questwario land
>>736500923Dead or Alive
>>736500923Breath of Fire, at least until 6.
>>736500923devil may cry
epic battle fantasy
>>736500923warcraft
>>736500923Shouldn't it be 1 > 2 > 3 if you're saying it gets better as it progresses?
>>736501847Retard-kun...
These are almost always stealth Dark Souls threads
>>736501847No, he's not looking for a series where 1 is great than 2 which is greater than 3. It does make sense to put 1 at the start, though.
>>736501847>american education
>>736501847Retardchama, remember: the crocodile always eats the biggest number!
>>736501847What country are you from?
Someone already said it but Sly Cooper I absolutely think got better with each entry. I still like all 3 but 1 was probably the weakest
>>736500923Elder Scrolls, and it applies right until 3 actually.
>>736500923Donkey Kong Country
>>736500923>Gears of War & Halo Multiplayer Versus.They both went down hill after 3 though.
>sly 3, rushed to completion in a year, much less content than 2>the best onethe only good part was the ending sequence, but it doesn't redeem the entire game
>>736501847not sure if pajeet or murrican
>>736500923
>>736500960
>>736500923It’s Halo. You can argue that you like Halo 2’s writing better but 3 had a far more complete package.
>>736500923Midnight Club
>>736500923Metroid, Zelda, Resident Evil
>>736500923Mega Man Battle Network comes to mind and I doubt much if anyone would disagree.
>>736500923Pokemon.
>>736503279Frilled sharks are so fucking weird and interesting.
>>736503397It's debatable if MC3 is actually better than MC2, the only thing 3 is objectively good at is adding more shit so you can print it on the back of the box
>>736501847This is funny
No one talking about Dragon Quest, the obvious first answer? What happened to this board?
>>736500923Extreme-G>1 is an N64 exclusive with one of the worst framerates on the entire console, which makes its fast-paced racing basically unplayable>2 is on N64 and PC. It adds more content and is overall a better experience, except on the N64 it somehow has an even worse framerate than the first game>3 is on PS2 and Gamecube, the content is better than ever and finally the framerate isn't fucking awful
>>736500923I think most people would agree that the first 3-4 Civ games were improvements compared to their predecessors. Nobody really missed 1 or 2 once the next installment was released.
>>736500923Warcraft 3>Warcraft 2>Warcraft 1
>>736500923Mad Max.
The first 3 wild arms games follow this pattern
>>736500923Doom
>>736500923Gears of War 3 is better than two and one
Witcher.
>>736504738Na Civ 2 was incredible and had an all time OST. 3 was very good don't get me wrong but I know some people would definitely argue 2 was better
>>736500923Xenosaga.Yes, even 2. The RPG elements on 1 were fucking dogshit.
>>736507651>but I know some people would definitely argue 2 was betteryeah, I think it even gets posted about more than 3
>>736500923Halo and resident evil
>>736501361>>736501772hell yeah
>>736501767ding ding ding
>>736500923Mega Man Battle Network
>>736500923for me? The Simsalthough I do find Sims/Sims2/Sims3 do all bring something unique to the table

Megaman X3 is objectively better than X2 and X.
>>736500923Halo 3 > Halo 2 > Halo 1 IMO, so it's technically true for the original trilogy.After that though, ODST and Reach were below 3 and then the games after that were mostly worse than Halo 1.

>>736500923BURNOUT 3 > 2 > 1
>>736500923rune factory
>>7365177021 is better than 2 thoughever
>>736500923This is pretty much objectively true when it comes to Rune Factory. I think 3 was better than 4 thoughever.t. played them all in order
>>736517959been many many years since i played them tbdesu, but i vividly recall 2/3 being my most replayed and with the best soundtracks too1 was good and i remember parts of it but 2/3 were just more sothen again it's based entirely off how i remember playing as a kid so feel free to take it with a pinch of salt
>>736518219Do yourself a favour and listen to 1's OST again if nothing else. It's by far the best of the bunch, and I say this as a total UYAfag
>>7365009601pbp. ds1 is piss easy and 2 speaks for itself
>>736504731Based Extreme-G anon>that effect that cuts off all sounds including music when you break the sound barrier*Sips* They don’t make em like they used to
>>736511436>no that's 3>1>2that's Dark Souls tho
>>736516159This and the original Budokai games.
>>736515482t.360 baby
>>736514327This, but classic instead of X.
>>736500923Baldur's Gate
>>736501463ME3 gameplay isn't good.
>>736520073It's certainly easier to combo than ME2 and less restrictive in general, it feels nice but from a mechanical perspective you might be right.
>>736504707What are you talking about? The vast majority think 1 is better than 2.
>>736500923SMT
>>736500923I'd say so, yes.
