>Super Mario Bros 2

usa is a better game

FF1 is not a beloved classic, 99% of FF fags never touched it

SH2 sucks, deal with it

Regression to the mean. On average, things are average. Typically the things that get sequels are better than average. Sheer statistics put them at a disadvantage.

Sonic 2's modern reputation is unfair, it was an impressive game at release
>>
>>11688535
technically metal gear solid 2 is the fourth game you dumb shit head
>>
>>11688560
It's the weakest in the entire franchise and doesn't justify its existence

So is WoW technically Warcraft IV by your logic?

>asshole makes a lot of games
>occasionally gets a hit
>sequel is basically just another game by asshole, meaning it isn't a game that you've heard of because it was good enough to recommend but rather you heard of it because it's named after a game that was good enough to recommend.
So it's just that asshole's average output, not one of his peaks

On the other hand better part 2s are usually caused by the first game barely having the budget to pull off the vision, but succeeding anyway. Second game gets all it needs to complete the stuff that was underbudget in 1. Then the third game usually struggles because they need new ideas.

You're forgetting Snake's Revenge

You were filtered by Animal Attics, right?

Only bad because one of the patches broke the enemy AI, earlier versions are excellent.

2 looks, plays and sounds better but 1 has the better story and atmosphere.

Contentious would be a better word than inferior here as lot of these weren’t reviewed extremely well. Silent Hill 2 doesn’t apply to either inferior or contentious and was your sneaky bait.

I stand by Invisible War being a great game that just could never live up to its predecessor and was doomed from the start. It was certainly contentious though.

This is bullshit you're using to inflate the number of other franchises, though. Stay consistent, retard.

Come on, Sanjay, you gotta try harder than that. Apply yourself like you're applying for Canadian citizenship.
>>
>>11692858
i was going to name it but honestly it wasn't really that inferior, 2 is seen as the weakest link of the trilogy only because the superior X exists and it completely replace it there is no need to touch 2
>>
>>11689271
>Sonic 2's modern reputation is unfair
What reputation? Isn't it considered better than sonic 1?
>>
>>11692257
1 has better music than 2
>>
>>11690858
If you're including stuff like Snakes Revenge, you'd also have to include Ghost Babel, so MGS2 would be the sixth game.
