Sequels that destroyed their great predecessors

[Ryleh]

Portal 2 and all the Myst sequels.

When portal 2 was announced I had no faith whatsoever that they could make the original any better... but they did... by lots.

I can't imagine Portal without Wheatley ever again. Nice pick.

Damn yeah. Saw a guy wearing a Wheatley laboratories shirt the other day (which is pretty awesome, because I live in Dunedin NZ which is a small place). Just grinned broadly at him and probably freaked him out.

Portal 2 and all the Myst sequels.

I picked up Riven from GOG a while back, because I wasn't sure if the old CD-based version even works anymore without Quicktime X.0 installed, and because disk-swapping sucks. Having to go back to the old click-to-turn no not that way go back ARGH I MOVED is just aggravating. The first time I saw the 360-degree videos in IV I was amazed, it was like walking around inside a movie.
