wut gaem dawg

Nothing stands out in my mind, in particular for any of them, but I know it's shit I saw pretty consistently for a while. Like for that second one, goddamn Prototype 2 has Alex Mercer be the main villain when in the first fucking game he realized he was just a sentient clone of the original Alex Mercer who was a genuine piece of shit born of some leftover goo and the virus and the game fucking ended with him atoning for the original Alex's sins only for the second game to be like "lol fuck it he ebul"

As for that last one, not really a game but I started watching the new Magic School Bus out of genuine curiosity because I loved the original so much as a kid, and I know the "grown man reviewing kid's cartoons" bullshit is beaten to death but god damn those characters are just husks. Arnold has been completely reduced to a sniveling bitch who every god time he opens his mouth it's to be a whiny faggot, and Ralphie is now LE XD GROSS FAT KID despite having the same cookie cutter flash animation body as everyone else. It's just eye-rolling.

>Have to work your ass off for the golden ending
>It's not canon in the sequel because only a small minority actually got it
I absolutely hate this.

>Sequel takes place alongside the original and you get to hear about all the cool shit the MC is doing alongside doing your own thing
>Some of the shit you do was already mentioned in the first game that you may have just ignored because the devs already planned for this

I have some issues with Golden Sun, but that definitely wasn't one of them. Pretty fucking cool.

>main character from the first game dies unceremoniously halfway into the sequel

>Main character dies unceremoniously off screen and is given a "WE MUST CONTINUE NO TIME TO CRY" sendoff

>main characters from last game shows up, gets shitfaced with new main character, tells him "this shit is on your hands now boi" and fucks off

>main character from first game kills player character of the sequel and you play as him instead for the rest of the game

Dude, spoilers. I was about to go play prototype 1

I spoiled it you nigger, you have nobody to blame but yourself

I mean technically X-Com 2 for the first point but it was mostly because most people game over'd a lot rather than never getting the good ending.

>Game acknowledge the prequels and you can call your past waifu to help you

>MC from first game is hated by the MC of the sequel
>first game's party believes the MC of the sequel despite the travels they had with the first MC

>hour gameplay of supposed MC in sequel
>he ends up fucking off for the rest of the game for the first game's MC

name 1 (one) game that does this

>last boss from the first game teaches you new techniques before dying to the new menace of the sequel

>You completely forget it or lose it in the sequel anyway because of balance
Just fuck my shit up

>finish game
>mc gets raped

>Game doesn't introduce mechanics until the very end of the game
>Achievements are centered around getting a certain amount of kills with said mechanics
>Doesn't carry over, doesn't keep a running total, no new game+
>In order to get the achievement you would kill with nothing but this move because the game ends suddenly and abruptly
>Move has to be charged up anyway

Holy christ on a cracker, I loved Bionic Commando 2006 but that was the game that broke me of being an achievement hunter

I really wanted Becket to love Alma back in FEAR 3 and defend her from Armacham, instead he went nuts and got blown up
YOU COULD HAVE HAD A PSYCHIC GHOST WAIFU BECKET
YOU FUCKING BLEW IT
YOU CLOWN

getting raped by a teenage demon spawn was probably dramatic for him.

what a fag I know

>rivals join your party

>Rival joins your party
>One of your party members is not fucking having it and is pissed the entire time because he was personally slighted by him
>They never get over it

Chrono Trigger was a fucking treasure and I'm so happy to have owned it as a kid.

>>MC from first game is hated by the MC of the sequel
>>first game's party believes the MC of the sequel despite the travels they had with the first MC

>one of the original party members sticks up for the first MC and refuses to believe he did anything wrong in spite of any evidence to the contrary

This. I love it when villains join the good guys.

>The main character fucking dies
>No bullshit, actually justified, genuinely shocks you
>Actually treated with the gravity it deserves
>Happens at just the right point to make the finale all the more sweeter

>Main character is murdered at the end of the first game by a group of nobodys
>Second game has a new main character with a different story
>There is a mission where you are told to kill that character
