I've heard DMC complainers say something like this.
Baffling.
I don't know why people think DMC1 was special in any way.

Dead Rising

you forgot Final Game inbetween Game II and Game 64

These.

this is the arkham series hard

ME2 is the best one though.

Beat me to it.

>Game 3 is like 2 but worse

Except 3 is fan service for DS1 bois and is nothing like 2.

Top Jej

>Dark souls 2
>2 is meh

stop trying to force this meme opinion, 2 will stay the best

>Game 1 is great
>Game 2 is great, ends of cliffhanger
>Game 2 sells like shit, sequel only get approved after years of fans begging for an ending
>Game 3 ends up being garbage and ruining the series

Onimusha

ME1 was a fucking adventure.
Barring all the threats of the "reapers" who you had already met because of Sovereign, there's really nothing that felt like it needed a sequel to expand upon.
Also ME2 completely killed what I liked about the Citadel, this huge interstellar complex that you could see above and around you any time you walked through it.
It was very satisfying to walk along the walls in the final confrontation.

what games?

3 is more like Bloodborne though and 2 is just who the fuck knows what

GAME was fucking great and was worth all the waiting imo.

fek off

At MOST 2 introduces a couple things that get heavily refined in 3 like aerial rave and twosome time, otherwise they're nothing alike.

>Game 1 is great
>Game 2 is Game 1 but with more content
>Game 3 is absulute garbage and removed all the things that made Game 1 and 2 that great, leaving only the setting.
>Game: Subtitle actually tries to fix most of the things Game 3 ruined
>Game 4 is even worse than Game 3

Mass Effect

>Original game is pretty good but has some flaws
>Sequel emphasizes the flaws while completely throwing out what made the first game good

Paper Mario applies if you consider everything before Super PM to be game 1

Literally dawn of war series

Golden Sun

mega man

A lot of series could apply if you use special pleading to lump sets of games together.

Mass Effect

so I can't decide between
>game 1 is conceptually sound but lacking
>game 2 is great
>game 3 is game 2 with a pittance of new features
and
>game 3 is game 2 with somehow less features
but one of these describes the 360/PS3 era 100% accurately

but ME3 is objectively better than 2 in every way.
>inb4 muh last 10 minutes

Absolutely this. First thing I thought of.

I just finished FEAR2 the other day, I don't know how they could drop the ball so hard. I always heard the third is even worse so I'm not going to touch that shitheap

fpbp

Game 2 was the best one

Every PS1/PS2 3D platformer that had a trilogy.

A FUCKING TALES OF SERIES.

>muh trails in your ass 2

But Sly 2 was leaps and bounds better than 1.

Some fags will say Halo, but you'd need to reverse it

>game 1 is good buy gameplay is a little bland
>game 2 is amazing
>game 3 has a terrible story but good gameplay.

Game 1 is satisfying and niche.
Game 2 greatly expands the universe and is mindblowing.
Game 3 is over hyped at first and becomes unable to fulfill all expectations.

low quality bait senpai

>Game 1 sets the standard.
>Game 2 deconstructs the first game and is genius.
>Brainlet fans didn't like Game 2 because they missed the point so Game 3 is just fanservice brainless action game.

hes right though. ME1 is horribly boring and you want it to end after maybe 6 or 7 hours, and ME3 is ME3.

Star Ocean but this statement is always overblown

Jak II and III are unironically fantastic games that maintain the fantasy and platforming aspects of I while also having a great story and fun gameplay

Metal gear solid

yes, really the only problem was the inconsistent map quality.

...

>Game 1 is a good game
>Game 2 is made by a completely different dev team, takes place in a setting unrelated to Game 1's setting, and is a mary sue away from being just a fanfic
