ITT: Mention stuff about a series and others have to guess which is it

>First game had an interesting theme that wasn't fully explored and had potential for much more
>Second game had a less interesting theme because it was meant to be a different IP
>Third have a different game play focus
>Later installments are inspired by either the second or third games in the series
>Theme of the first game was never used for much else outside some expansions

It's Quake, Fuck

>First game is a classic
>Second is a bit unnecessary but plays much like the first
>Third is shitty fanfiction from a different developer

Is it quake

No it's Duke Nukem 3D, i can't believe they made the sequels with ninjas and zombies.

Are there more clues?

>First game is snow
>Second game is rain
>Third doesn't bother having a motif

Fuck, it's a JRPG isn't it?

It's not an RPG and it's not from the J

Wait hold on

Max Payne?

...

Did i do it? i know MP had some dramatic story and symbolism stuff

Bingo

sounds like JoJo

Here's another one

>First game was meant to be important to its company
>Spawns a good trilogy of a certain genre just like other series owned by the company
>This series, however, focuses more on spin offs from another genre that people stop caring about it
>Company doesn't see anything about this series worth it outside of some mascot character
>Main character was last seen on a flopped crossover game

Rayman?

Hint: It's a japanese series

>First game is total garbage, but has a few likeable characters and great environments
>Second game fixes a shit ton of issues with the first but is still not good. Story is retarded but not a problem
>Third game totally reworks the combat into something actually fun and exploration is actually interesting, but the story becomes even more garbage

Is it Mega Man?

Imagine a series where the mainline series is only three games and despite the pointless spin offs, there's 4 that felt closer to said mainline series but only one was released outside of japan

>First game had fantastic graphics for its time and even by today's standards, a small team with a limited budget made the game but the characters, levels, and story was 10/10
>Second game was good, just not as good as the first despite a bigger budget and team
>The third game was complete shit where choices literally made no difference and was full of SJW propaganda and completely took away the creepy vibe the first 2 games had yet this is the one praised by faggot as the best in the series

No its not mass effect

SMT?

Not RPG related

Deus Ex

No

System Shock?

You are very close but no

water zap

bioshock

Bioshock?

what is the Thief series

Yep

>Game
>Game DLC Title
>Game Online

>Character from upcoming new IP appeared in a crossover before its game comes out
>Its game was cancelled
>Character's game was never officially released and its series doesn't exist outside of a crossover
>Character is now seen as an original character from a crossover

Has this ever happened?

>First game kicks off the story
>Sequel is picked up by different devs
>Different gameplay and main character but highly praised
>Ran out of time, cut a bunch of stuff and had a cliffhanger ending
>Sequel plays much the same with improved graphics and an even better story
>Spin off nobody talks about
>Final game decides to completely ruin the combat and the camera, story is still good though
>Leaked footage shows garbage reboot-sequel was in the making, but it got scrapped thank fuck

And now there's an online spin off nobody asked for.

Sounds awful, are there more details?

soul reaver

Ingrid from Capcom

>One standalone game from another company does a genre better than a long standing series that tries to make a game in that genre
>Said standalone game never gets sequels, while the long standing series is still alive in zombie form today

What is it, Sup Forums?

I always wondered it this would happen with Capcom

Obviously spyro

>First game was good
>Second game refined, improved and built upon the first game
>A rare Western made turn based strategy game not in a fantasy setting
>Every subsequent game has failed to improve upon the second game
>Spiritual successors goes mostly ignored
>"She is evil! A driven bitch!"

But Spyro had sequels. Which game are you referring to?

Wrong btw

First is a rhythm game.
Second game is a rolling simulator
Third one's a waifufest

>first game is okay
>second game is the best, amazing gameplay
>third game is a piece of crap.

Sly Cooper/Uncharted?

Metal gear solid?

Already answered because i fucking blew it

The Witcher 3.

bingo

>first game is good
>second game is weird, and it feels short and rushed
>third game is 10/10

>First game had spooky bears
>Second game is the best one
>Third was India n shit
>Fourth was Egypt n shit
>Fifth and Six are worse but still true to the original
>7+ are still decent but really different from the original games and not as good desu

bioshock

tomb raider

Devil may cry

>First game you poo but haven't invented the loo yet so you have to find that perfect spot on the beach to poo

>Second game white people show up and teach you how to poo in the loop

>Third game you scare white people off your land, poo, then carry the pool to the look to be flushed

Sounds a lot like F.E.A.R.

>OP post makes it seem like a legit post
>Second post is a real answer
>Third post sets a trend
>The rest are just shitposts

yup

Fucking Dragon's Dogma isn't it?

>First one is praised by people who say it revolutionized video games
>Second one is praised by nostalgiafags
>Third one is praised by dudebros and kids

Oh! This thread?

>first game was very interesting, but no one could fucking run it on huge battles
>second game had an amazing modding community but something went wrong and it got flooded with ebin youtubers
>third game is an improvement in almost every way, and the modding community is good, but the regular community became infested with casuals which moved from the 2nd game to the first game

Rollercoaster Tycoon

>every game in the series could be a masterpiece if the dev team was competent enough to polish it but instead they're mostly mediocre or decent

>First game has simple combat, but amazing detail in the level design and the world surrounding it. A lot of effort was put into nailing the occult nature of it all.

>Second game is a blatant rehash of the first with worse combat and levels too big for their own good.

>Third game has excellent combat and the environments take more notes from the first, while not looking as detailed.

ArmA

>First game filled a void while everyone was waiting on a different game
>Second game improved on the first and found its own identity
>Third is stripped-back garbage
>Fourth is borderline DLC

yep

Dark Souls?

dark souls

>first game is legendary
>second game was rushed. Considered by many to be an abomination, while others say it's underrated.
>third game comes out about a decade later and is considered to be a breath of fresh air in a stale industry
>4th game is pretty much the best in the series

>India n shit
i think that goes without saying user

smash bros?

>1st game was the greatest lie ever told and ruined the lives of its devs
>there was no second game

>first game was rythmic and comfy
>secound game was bigger and better
>third game made some changes

Devil May Cry

>First game is a fondly remembered and entirely unfinished cult classic full of high minded ideas
>Second game is actually three games, also unfinished and kind of disappointing
>Third game is actually completed for once holy fuck, but much tamer in scope
>Fourth game is the first time a game in the series has actually been able to have the name of the prior entry, and it's okay I guess
I've made this hideously easy, actually.

fallout?

Ira's line made it too obvious

You know that could apply to almost any series.

Deus Ex

Yep

>First game is insane and incredibly dark
>second game is traditional jrpg
>third game is a whole other IP
>fourth game is just weird
>fifth game is the start of the series getting more exposure(for better or worse)

>jrpg
