No, but then I'm a gamer who has a hard time trying sidequests or extras if I'm not interested enough in the main story. KH2 just didn't have enough to keep me into it.Shine-osophical said:
For example, I wouldn't be interested in the Zelda Caves of Ordeals if the rest of the games weren't fun enough, nor the optional missions in Saints Row 2 if the main game had sucked. Sidequests and optional parts for me don't make or break a game, but they can be enhancements to an already fun game.
Transformers 2 was way better than the first. The Dark Knight is better than Batman Begins and most Batman movies in general. Spiderman 2 and 3 are better than the first Spiderman. Most FF games are better than the last one. I think on average sequels are better. I mean if you living in the past of course nothing will top what you grew up with, but technically, sequels do more of what you wanted in the first place but you forget when you are too romantically involved with your past.
well put good sir. Just out of interest, what is your favourite out of the final fantasy games? mine is XII then X.Ossum said:
Aliens was better than alien. All the way.
Alien 3 is your typical BAD sequel (i liked it though, not as much as Alien or Aliens but still) And alien resurection was like WTF bad
Uhhh, other than that, uhhh... Aha, Dark Knight is better than Batman Begins.
Another one.... uhh... Personally i liked the RE 2 movie better than RE 1, but technically they are pretty bad movies. (didnt stop me liking them, stupid critics)

That's exactly what I thought when I saw the title of this thread. And the ones that followed were just terrible.Suiseiseki IRL said:
Hmm... I'm not a big FF'er. But I did attempt to beat FFVII numerous times, and really liked it because the characters were strongly defined and vibrant and the battles were interestingly tough. However, that game is cursed for me; every time I get close to finishing it, I lose my save file. Three times on PC, four on PSX. I was reasonably guaranteed to have my work eaten after I got past the Golden Saucer.Shine-osophical said:
FF 8 was fun most of the way through and then it turned into a slog and I lost interest since the majority of the character development was complete by then. FF 9 just was too silly and meandering for me, and X forcibly ejected me from play.
When I say "forcibly ejected" I mean what happens to me every time I try to read Great Expectations. After a few pages, I find it simply impossible to continue further. FF 9 does the same thing to me.
FF games prior to 7 require a certain level of nostalgia to play, which I don't have since I didn't play RPGs heavily back then. Chrono Trigger was my main RPG from back in the day, and it didn't share the FF feel enough to make them playable also.
