Considering you're in here making drive by posts I don't think you have any right to come in here and trash me for taking the time to actually justify what I'm agreeing/disagreeing with.

I'm driveby posting a driveby post. I don't care what your reasoning are when you're using some 'leet gamer 420 game 2 ez' bullshit.

because i think Max Payne 3 is the best game of the series "gameplay wise"

I agree. If you took a shootout from the older games and stacked it up next to a shootout from 3, the latter would come out on top. MP3's engine needs to be refined and used in a future game, it's too good not to be. MP3's gameplay in MP1/2's basic level design (levels without frequent cutscenes) would be a godsend.

Vs the crippling of the clock with the new save system, broken survivor AI, broken progression due to said weapon system, and worse bosses on basically every level.

DR2 is worse than the original in basically every way. It's still a good game that imo is def worthy of the DR name, but better than the original is quite the stretch.

The survivor AI is WAY better in DR2. The AI in the first game was infuriating.

I enjoyed DR2 so much more than the first. DR3 is pretty awesome as well
 
Birth by Sleep

Edit: although I don't how much this counts as in it has a different team working in it but the same director
 
I have to go with Skylanders Swapforce. The first Skylanders game I find myself playing when my son goes to bed.
 
Obsidian the thread?

Fallout 2, Kotor II, Fallout New Vegas

Well not really obsidian for Fallout 2, just Avellone but still
 
This may be a bit of a stretch, but I would say Paper Mario if considered as a spiritual sequel to Super Mario RPG.

Edit: Also, F-Zero GX, the only racing game I ever truly loved.

None of what you say was in DR2, it was in DR1. That's why DR2 is better.

creative weapon crafting has now become the staple mechanic in Dead rising games, Photography while fun and hilarious served no purpose once you started creating combo weapons.

There was a lot of busted ass wonky ass shit in DR1, that was improved upon dramatically in DR2 and the downloadable games. Survivor AI and protection wasnt some busted ass chore and they were more competent and fun to have around at times.

Also...chuck greene is a better character.

Ready at Dawns God of War Ghost of Sparta is better then the SSM ps3 games.

Ready at Dawns God of War Ghost of Sparta (HD for PS3) is actually the best God of War game made,........ and I love God of War.
Definitely the best story / best told story, I loved that game, very surprising.

Looks amazing on PS3 too, seriously.
 
MDK 2 is definitely better than the first one. It's a great game.

Also, if Paper Mario is considered to be a sequel to Mario RPG, then I agree that that one was a significant improvement as well.

Dungeon Siege 3 is easily the best game in that series, too.

So it isn't a bad game then.

Hmm overall I would say no but if you wanted a Halo game solely for MP I could easily see why people would consider it a bad game and be fully justified in doing so.

Not everyone plays games for the single player experience albeit I'm far more in favor of SP then MP and find the current climate annoying

Only a half correct answer.

Much to the chagrin of irrational (lol) Bioshock 1 fanboys, Marin was founded on some top talent who left 2K Boston (who later reformed as "Irrational Games"), and the game was directed by one of the top designers on Bio1 (guy who designed fort frolic) and was designed by over half of the level designers on Bio1. This isn't even mentioning the entirety of 2K Australia, who was 1/2 of the original Irrational Games who also worked on Bio1, also worked on Bio2 as well.

Reformed ? You mean, took their original name back when Bioshock blew up, right?

As for the original question. Star Trek Elite Force 2 by Ritual was better than Elite Force 1 by Raven, though they're both great shooters
 
I vote Sleeping Dogs.

Despite the name change, it was supposed to be True Crime Hong Kong before Acti canned it and Squeenix took over. The other True Crime games are shit, Sleepy Dogs is amazing.

People who love glitches and boring online modes.
 
Halo 4, they improved everything.

I know that gaf hates this game but that was the only halo game i liked and I hated halo 3. If Halo 5 turns out like Halo 4 I will have to buy Xbone just for that game.

This.

It was the poster boy for "great Japanese franchise stolen by baka gaijin developers" and I cursed its existence.

Then I played it, and lo and behold, it was a highly competent sequel to the original. The first was good but I think I enjoyed the second more.

DMC3 and 4

Itsuno > Kamiya

DMC5 could come out today and be better than bayo.



You funny man.



Yes for a while now. The online community has even abandoned it. Do you know how much I wanted to like that game? So disappointing.

Lol you quoted me incorrectly somehow
 
Resistance: Retribution by Sony Bend is better than FoM (Insomniac) arguably. It's easily better than Resistance 2. (not that it's hard)

LittleBigPlanet Vita by Double Eleven / Tarsier Studios is in my opinion the best LittleBigPlanet (Media Molecule).

So Halo 4 is a bad game now?
Click to expand...
Halo 4 introduced perks, custom loadouts, killstreaks, randomized power weapon spawns, new game breaking armor abilities, and the default ability to sprint, which negatively impacted both combat and map design. 343 removed legacy game types, Firefight, and campaign theater and scoring. They replaced the series' beautiful UI with a terrible and sometimes straight up broken UI. The AI were embarrassingly stupid. Nearly ever single multiplayer armor design was horrendous. Like, laughably, mind bogglingly horrendous. 90% of the multiplayer maps were garbage, with large maps and forge maps having extremely low frame rates (which defied belief and became even worse in splitscreen). The only new vehicle that was introduced was the Mantis. The Mantis.

There is no fucking way Halo 4 is better than any of the Bungie-made Halo games.
 
Opposing force may or may not actually be better than Half Life.

I am always in conflict about this one.

In fact opposing force is so good, that I am convinced gearbox had nothing to do with the game.
 
dota 2 actually. even thro i guess icefrog now works for valve .

on a non mod take. DEFINITELY spec ops. the original games were utter crap. I know i had one for the ps1
 
from recent memory…. Fallout Las Vegas.

yes. i enjoyed that much more than bethesda's F3.
and yes. i understand the irony of obsidian having members of the very original fallout team.
