Sequels that were better.

[Sabrestar]

Well, there's the obvious one (to me and my older gamer sensibilities, anyway): Street Fighter 2.

Speaking as someone who actually played the first one. And not on MAME, on a real cabinet.

Stop. Feeding. The. Troll.

Do you really think he cares about intelligent discussion? Really? Just ignore and report him.

OT:

Mass Effect 2. The side missions were far better, the combat was far better, the supporting cast was better you couldn't put points into skills characters couldn't even use (GODFUGINGDAMMIT!), and it has Martin Sheen. Nothing else needs to be said on the matter.

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

Toy Story 3 is better than the first two, and the first two were completely awesome

 

[technoted]

Film wise The Godfather 2, I prefer Aliens and The Terminator 2 to the first films but I think the first films were better.

And as for games, God of War, each game just kept getting better, that's actually the only one I can think of at the moment...

 

[AngelofDarrkness]

Modern Warfare 2
Battlefield BC2
Fable 2
God of War 3 and 2
WoW
No More Heros 2 [not hard to improve on garbage thou]
Transformers 2
The Dark Knight
GTA 4
KH2
Assassins creed 2
Halo 3
Just Cause 2
Super Street Fight IV

And i think there the best games [yes i have no life]

Gameswise, probably Mass Effect 2. it was deeper, had better combat and was just all around more polished. Movies? Erm, Empire Strikes Back.

Um, have you even played ME 1?

ME 2 was dumbed down to shit (for the console 'tards to be able to play it) compared to the first one, how the hell was it "deeper"???

I don't agree with you, especially with your use of idiotic terms like "console 'tards" grow the hell up and get rid of this moronic "us vs them" mentality, because it's annoying as all fuck.

Ok, repeat after me:

Ready?
Ok...

"Just because someone's correct opinion annoys me, doesn't make it any less valid."

Do that about a hundred million times, until your little console gamer head understands that it is TRUE.

And I don't give a fuck what anyone says, ME 1 was THE best fucking game I have ever played, while ME 2 just felt like a shitty, shallow Gears of War clone, only with awesome cinematics and dialog.

ME 2 was to ME 1 what GTA IV was to GTA San Andreas, merely a husk of what the previus game in the series was, in terms of gameplay diversity, content and FUN, a DOWNGRADE, and it should be THE OTHER FUCKING WAY AROUND.

You don't fucking SIMPLIFY a sequel, removing all the things that made the first game awesome, just so that console morons can play it, you ADD SHIT TO IT!

Whoever thinks otherwise is not worthy of the title of "gamer".

Hey. Just because you like PC doesn't make it better.

 

[blindthrall]

System Shock 2 and Aliens. Easy.

 

[sofrekinbored]

I prefer most sequels to the orignal except modern warfare 2 and wolfenstein games

Shit man, I agree with you, both that ME1 was better and that console games are much easier(not dumbed down, there's a difference), and even I think you're being an asshole.

 

[sluggyfreelancer]

that game was goooooooood

 

[Blemontea]

Im just going to list the games in my room that are sequels that are better than the original.
silent hill 2, Yakuza 2, Dark Cloud 2, Gears of war 2, Fable 2, left 4 dead 2, fear 2, saints row 2, and DAHOTF ive played the ones before and the sequels certainly make the game better.

WAIT! we can do movies to! in that case Iron Man 2 which is now one of my favorite movies

Fear 2 was not better than the 1st :/

that's your opinion which is cool, i personally thought it was more exciting but thats just me...

 

[ninjajoeman]

half life 2
teamfortress 2
halo 2
starcraft 2*are you paying attention yet?*

 

[Bob the zombie]

Evil dead 2, Aliens, Terminator 2, the dark knight, the incredible hulk (the newer one), half-life 2, Doom 2, and the empire strikes back

 

[some1stolemyusername]

i felt HL2 > HL1

 

[TundraStalax]

snowboard kids 2, get an n64 emulator and compare them, if you don't believe me, also, street fighter 2, LEAGUES better than the first, team fortress 2 (some people may debate that)
worms 2
jump ultimate stars

that's all I can think of right now...

 

[internetzealot1]

Halo 3: ODST had the greatest firefights of the series because there wasn't a BR or Halo 1 pistol that could kill everything. You actually had to vary your arsenal in order to survive.

That's a pretty interesting way to look at it, and I think you're right.

 

[ultrachicken]

Assassin's creed 2
Iron Man 2
Left 4 Dead 2
Killzone 2
Uncharted 2
Fallout 3 (I didn't like the earlier fallouts, sue me)

My buddy and I would play that game for 6 hours straight twice a week together

fun times

 

[Marmooset]

Man, I hate to be that guy, but you people are forcing me to be that guy. Lord of the Rings is one book, split in to three sections only for the sake of easier binding. There are no sequels. :uts on his ring and vanishes::

Actually, you could consider the set to be a sequel to The Hobbit. String, or nothing.

And, OT: Have I missed this in the thread?

 

[RottingAwesome]

let's see.. Half Life 2, Team Fortress 2, Street Fighter II
umm well Portal 2 will probably be great considering Valve boasted it as their "best game yet" which is a pretty bold stetement..

 

[Novania]

I'm gonna go with Halo: Reach (based on multiplayer beta)
Portal 2 (from E3 showing)
