I've played through Banjo-Kazooie but only played Tooie briefly, they seemed pretty much identical to me, what exactly did they fix? As I remember Banjo-Kazooie was pretty awesome and bug-free game. :lCorjha said:
Best Sequel to a Terrible game
- Thread starter Varanfan9
- Start date
Banjo Kazooie came off as too kiddie for its difficulty level and not that funny. I found Banjo Tooie to be much more clever, having better gameplay and a bit more healthy maturity. Plus more than 4 characters did not have a speech/brain impediment.wouldyoukindly99 said:
That's a tough one. Rarely is a sequel to a terrible game good.
Hrmm...
Timesplitters, while not terrible was pretty meh. TS2 was fantastic by comparison.
Same with Donkey Kong Country. First game was a pretty, competent but boring mario rip, DKC2 was just all around fantastic.

Shadow Hearts. The sequel to Koudelka. Both are still terrible games, but Koudelka is a worse pile of dog chocolate than the ET game.
SH does however have the best quote ever, of all time. "Women are filled with gravy."

Although not technically a sequel, Fallout: New Vegas was vastly superior to 3 in almost every single aspect.
...SHODAN was the villain in both games. Not quite sure what you're saying here.Sarah Kerrigan said:

Please, please be kidding. I'm not that old already, am I? These are some of the greatest sci-fi RPGs I've ever played, and they have more customization and choices than Fallout 3. And, in my opinion, were better written (FO:1 very much so), and had a better sort of "moral choice" system that wasn't so obviously "GOOD BAD NEUTRAL" in dialogue choices. I'm not here to shit on FO3, I loved it too, put somewhere over 400 hours over it BEFORE I got the DLCs, etc, but I found the first two to be very fun as well. I guess it's mostly the combat that turns most people off.hailfire said:
Anyhow, back on topic, not meaning to hijack, I think Evolution 2: Far Off Promise was much better than the original. Both are not very good games, but the second one was at least playable. An argument could be made for Starcraft 2 or Team Fortress 2, but their originals are not "horrible." I'd say Quake 3 was much better than Quake 2, but to say Q2 is terrible is...Well, not easy. Perhaps Diablo II to Diablo? Diablo one was broken online (moreso than Diablo II) and D2 offered a much more in-depth single player -and- multiplayer experience.
Also, street fighter 2 turbo...
Bottom line is I just haven't played many terrible games. I've seen sequels improve upon an original, but it's rare that the original is terrible. If a game is terrible, most of the time it doesn't get a sequel, aside from a few exceptions...
Oh! I think I've got it. The superman game for the n64 was unplayable, and I did play one for PS2 that was "mediocre." I suppose that could be considered a sequel, and it got much better. "Shadow of Apokolips" or something.
Super Mario? Which games? That's a pretty up-and-down roller coaster ride, my friend.Kikyoo said:
Let's review (home console "main series" only)
1=amazing
2=disappointment
3=many people's greatest game of all time
4=awesome, but on almost no one's greatest list
5=weird, with tons of use of mode 7
6=reinvented games in the 3d space
7=why am I spraying water everywhere?
8=sweet! I'm flying!
9=sweet? I'm flying again? Now with Yoshi!
Resident Evil 2 (sequel to Resident Evil 1). Although the remake of RE1 on gamecube is the best game in the entire series, the original resident evil was a total turd, a fact made more obvious by its awesome sequel, RE2.
I DON'T KNOW MAN, as I understand it Mario World is usually neck and neck with Mario 3 when it comes to being on people's favorite list. It actually beats out three for me.PhiMed said:
But to the topic at hand, if we were to consider Super Mario Bros as a sequel to Mario Bros, then that's a huge improvement.
This might be bending the rules a little, but Mask of the Betrayer, the first expansion pack for Neverwinter Nights 2, was an enormous improvement over NWN2's original campaign. From an utterly bland story with a party of walking cliches (and the two who weren't straight-up cliches were still knockoffs from Planescape: Torment, a much better game) to an rich story with some real moral issues and unique, detailed characters (including a womanizing dreamwalker and a RAINBOW-COLORED GOD OF BEARS.) It's worth slogging through the first campaign (once) just to set the stage for MotB.
DMC 3
mostly, for making us forget about DMC 2 XD
Z.O.E 2
better story, less annoying pilot, and less bullshitty in parts

As people have said, I think that Just Cause 2 is the quintessential example of a modern game with a sequal that blew the first out of the water.
Mass Effect=great game
Assassins Creed=great game
but
Just Cause=shit game
Just Cause 2 being so awesome when it had such a bad start is a testament to the listening-power of the developers.
When me and my bro first got our gameboys these were the games we had. My parents gave him the Super Mario Land and I got 6 Golden coins. Muhahahahaha

[HEADING=1]WHAAAAAAT???[/HEADING] That ending is classic! Fuck all this 'happy ending' shit, games aren't just some chinese brothel.FirstToStrike said:
For me IX was the only game in the series after VI, I absolutely loved. I loved how the series was going back to it's roots, and the art style reminded me of the SNES days. X was kind meh to me in comparison.Icaruss said:
OT: Well Devil May Cry 3 over 2 is the only thing I can think of but that has already been mentioned, so I can't really think of anything else.
