First game is average

>first game is average
>second game vastly improves on the original
>third game improves greatly in certain areas, but also needlessly removes/changes a bunch of good things from the second game

Halo 1 -> Halo 2

Bad changes:
ruined atmosphere and plot
introduced vehicle damage and shitty 'realistic' physics engine
half the game is fighting brainless bullet sponge brutes who are not in the least bit interesting to fight, almost no human vs covenant fights in the game unlike the first halo
ends on a fucking cliffhanger right when it's about to finally get good what the fuck

Good changes:
multiplayer and everything related to multiplayer

>first game is pretty good
>second game throws it all out the window and is the worst in the series
>third game somehow rebounds and is even better than the first

Name the series

Halo 2 went through a troubled development. That's really not an excuse, but I think it's important to know the context.

Bayonetta hopefully

Devil May Cry

dark souls

you know it's true

I was thinking DMC but Dark Souls mostly applies as well

What is the Bioshock series?

what did I mean by this?

The memes are slowly causing brain damage. These posts are a cry for help.

>fifth is utter trash
What am I?

the pokemon games

...

Uncharted but then i seen #5 and then i thought "Is Lost Legacy trash and does it count as "The fifth game"?

Persona 1-3 and DMC.

Dead Space

There's basically nothing that Infinite improves, though.

Max Payne

>DMC2 an improvement on DMC1 in any way
What are you smoking?

...

Fallout

>Waiting 10 mins of matchmaking for a 15 min game instead of glorious 1-3 hour CTF Blood Gulch lan matches from Halo one.

Yeah no thanks. Halo 2 added online, but sadly random online faggots can't handle a long march so you just forget about having an actual fun game of CTF.

Street Fighter desu

MGS

Age of Empires

>Second game tries to improve one of the mechanics of the first game
>Even has "improved" in the name
>It's fucking awful

>First game is great
>second game is amazing
>third game is outsourced to a foreign dev team
>it's fucking garbage

Danganronpa, the fucking hangmans gambit

Postal series

I immediately thought of Rune Factory series when I read that. RF2 did a lot of things right but because RF3 floored it with combat, festivals, and farming lots of features got dropped. Sad thing is that newfags push RF3 and 4 telling everyone else the game they never even played is not worth playing.
