First game is trash

>first game is trash
>sequel is 10/10
>need to play the first game to 'get it'

Why is this allowed?

I love that gif. It's very cute.

Because why not?
Usually happen with RE2 (saying RE1 is the original and not REmake or DS)

>sequel's tutorial treats you like you never touched the first game and have no idea what you're doing, but then treats you like you have played the last game from start to finish when it comes to characters and plot elements.

It's inevitable with games. You need at least one complete game to figure out what went wrong and what shit doesn't work so you can fix them for the sequel, especially if the first game was truly innovative and novel.

Justified if there are new or changed mechanics.

>The Witcher
>Assassin's Creed

>first game is trash
>sequel is 10/10
>people insist the first game is the only good one

also works with

>first game is goat
>sequels are complete trash
>need to play sequels to get the ending

Why is this allowed?

Mass Effect? ;^)

The Witcher 1 is the only good game in the series though.

This.

nier automata

lol

Why is the anime girl huffing and puffing?

>Game is really good
>Amazingly, Game gets a sequel that is almost as good but ends on a cliffhanger and requires third Game
>Third Game is a piece of shit and wrecks the second game making most of the series a pointless existence
Why

I do too

She doesn't want to play the shitty first game but she wants to get the story.
Are you stupid?

Fuck just play Nier you fucks it's not even that bad

Just tell her to read a plot synopsis

What gaem?

Literally never happened.

FFXIII
First was meh
2nd was good
3rd was great

The first Nier is a great game though

>It happens every entry

Drakengard is shit though :^)

Sonic

You say that as if you expect people to disagree.

Madden NFL 09

Gotta do fucking every game leading up to it for the cohesive plot and it pisses me off every time I try to marathon just because of the early 2000s.

Looking forward to experiencing the characters and story of FIFA though, I heard good shit about that

Friend of mine let me borrow it. He talked it up like it was one of the best games to ever exist. It's shit. It looks like shit, it plays like shit. I guess the characters are interesting but the game's too shitty for me to want to keep on going to see what happens.

You don't hav to play Kazzoie to get Tooie.

I wouldn't recommend it but it's not like the game every formally introduces half the freaks who show up again in the second game.

I came here only for the gif.

And even if you play all 3 of them you don't get the story.
It's a fucking mess.

The witcher

>first nier game
>nier
Triggered

Kekked.

Except Madden 08 had the deepest lore and tightest gameplay.
After Michael Vick went to prison the series dropped off. It was just a mess with no clear protagonist and no 99 speed QB/retarfed defensive UI mode.

Dude, you can skip Witcher 1. The story doesn't even apply to later games.

>Watch the entirety of this mediocre light novel series elevated by KyoAni's direction waiting for this qt to make this face
>It's in some other supplementary material
Why live?

Yes, but I have autism
Besides save imports.

Noy actually the first in the series, but Peace walker was god awful yet necessary for MGS V.

>save imports
A: Get a save from a mod site.
B: Witcher 1 choices aren't reflected in Witcher 3 which is your ultimate goal anyway.

>first game is just okay in every department
>sequel is amazing in several departments but abhorrent in the rest
>final entry changes genre entirely and is just shit

Yes, but again i have autism.
It's the same reason i never played nier
I can't just use someone else's save or start a series halfway through.

most of the time I only see this shit threads when they put that gif

>Game gives you a boner and you cannot play it properly

>autism
Lot's a of people live fulfilling lives with autism. You can't use it as an excuse. Also you don't actually have autism.

And Nier isn't a series until the second game comes out.

>People only talk about the game because of the fan service

It's an expression.
I mean i get retarded about starting a series from a middle entry and what have you.
And nier is a series, it's called drakengard and I can't drag myself through the first one.

we are talking about Witcher 2 right?

RE1 is so much better than RE2 its not even funny

The only thing RE2 has over it is presentation, everything from gameplay to level design and replayability is better in 1.

Dustforce.

I'm sorry, Dustforce. You're the only game I've ever played in my life that I couldn't 100%. And I've done stuff like the ironman achievements in Super Meat Boy.

rip in rip badass old man with vacuum cleaner

Re2 has better characters.
Otherwise yes though.

I have a hard time doing anything but staring when I pick cerebella as a training dummy in skullgirls

That idle animation is just too much in 60 fps

What the fuck gave you a boner in Dustforce

>first game is an international phenomenon
>second game outclasses the first in every aspect
>"LOL THERE WAS A SEQUEL???"
Riven was still the best-selling game of 1997 though.

floor tiles

fuuuuck forgot my pic

whats with this series anyway? even the fandom itself says its shit

It's just that bad.
It's a tease in that the character and story are really good and can make you invested but the gameplay is complete dogshit.
Other games in the series aren't bad though.
