>>
>>748246917
First game developed by a small core passionate team with a modest budget; rough around the edges but visionary

Second game developed by the same or slightly larger team that knows what worked, what didn't, and makes appropriate changes; far more polished but very little "new"

Third game made primarily by new hires as the first-generation staff have largely moved on and the publisher wants to maximize their return on the IP by making the final game a huge spectacle with maximum broad appeal; appeals to nobody and has microtransactions right out the ass

the only good post ITT

>>748247190
Baldur's Gate Trilogy has always referred to the original games and the conclusion to the Bhaalspawn Saga in Throne of Bhaal. So it would be referring to ToB.
BG1
BG2:SoA
BG2:ToB

BG3 is the 3rd base game, but not considered the 3rd part of the trilogy.

Even a well known mod to made the original trilogy to make the transition seamless:
https://github.com/Spellhold-Studios/BGT-WeiDU

BG3 is great and all, but NOT part of the "Baldur's Gate Trilogy"

Spyro 3 is good. Crash 3 is shit, and I spent the most time on that game out of all 3 as a kid. Adult me realizes 2 is the technical best, if only 1 had 2's refinement, then 1 would be the best.
>>
>>748246917
>Game 1 is rough but fresh
>Game 2 is a refinement in most ways
>Game 3 is usually a gimmick idea on top of the foundation, if not flagrantly leftover ideas
And usually when there's an exception it usually extends beyond the third game's impact. DMC is a great example, 3 is a beloved entry but no one would call 2 a refinement to much of anything. If anything, 3 might as well be the true game 2 for DMC.

Many people would say this about Dead Space. I disagree: I think both the second and the third one are retarded. I will admit that the second one has some very neat gameplay, which goes well with the gimmicks for how you kill the enemies, but the characters, Isaac talking, the story and not to mention how incredibly retarded he was in that game ruins any potential it had as a horror game. It's impossible to take seriously.

But yeah, most people would say that this memes fits for Dead Space.

Shinobi III is so slept on. Either people don’t know about it, or when they play it they try playing it like previous Shinobi games (walk around and throw shurikens). The movement is so good once you learn it. Sprinting at an enemy then slashing to parry their attack while dealing huge damage. Or jump kicking an enemy, bouncing off and then blasting surrounding enemies with a rain of shurikens. That game is based as fuck.

I could add WarCraft III, but dunno about this.
It's either great for others, while others will call it inferior to WCII.
Dunno. For me it's great.
I will however add StarCraft here as a reverse of what OP is showing. 1st game was great especially thanks to the atmosphere spicing it up, SCII was a total downgrade and only Coop Commanders is actually keeping it afloat, and that SC FPS is still unknown but I feel like it's going to be a downgrade...so yeah, there are games that start out great only for each sequel making it worse.

Syphon Filter 3 is still a decent game but it's clear that the juice was running out and they were grasping at straws for ideas. Not to mention the composer for the first two games didn't do the third one so the atmosphere feels completely different and slightly worse off as a result.

Optionally skip part two and just make 2nd game the downfall.
