Seriously guys? No one is going to mention it?

>same map, but with better exploration
>verticality sucked, so we are giving you "Ascend"
>weapon durability sucked, so we are giving you "Fuse"
>dungeons sucked, so we are giving you actual dungeons now.

It's basically BOTW remade. So much better than the original in pretty much every way, making the original feel like a tech demo.

Going from TOTK to BOTW is rough.

Assasins Creed 1 after 2 is still great: different characters, story, map, gameplay. Same for so many other mentions here, like Uncharted. Sure 2 looks much better than the first, but 1 is still a lot different.

I'm with you. BotW just didn't click with me at all

Expedition 33 is so good, I don't even remember playing the first 32 games.

Expedition 60 was banned on Steam

Paper Mario: Thousand Year door, Luigi's Mansion 2, Forza Horizon 2, Silent Hill 2, Resident Evil 2, Half Life 2, Left 4 dead 2 and there are more but that's on the top of my head.

[kungfuian]

Red Dead Redemption 2, although calling it a sequel feels a bit dishonest.

Lots of 90s fighting game sequels are just better replacements of the originals: Street Fighter 2, Tekken 2, Mortal Kombat 2 to name a few.

Dark Cloud 2
Octopath Traveler 2

I would almost put Zone of the Enders 2 on here, but there's juuuuust enough story significance from ZoE1 to make it worth playing.

Mother 2 (Earthbound)? I haven't played either but nobody talks about the first game.

Gonna have to disagree.
Exploration never felt like much of a factor in TotK. The game is set up for you to just zoom from one place to the other (like how the towers blast you into the sky so you can just fast travel to one and glide your way to wherever you want). Why would you even ever use the horse in TotK, for example? And the added sky and underground areas are largely empty with little to see or do.
I don't think ascend really adds much vertical game play. It's literally just for going up, and ends up kind of being used to just cheese a lot of areas, so the devs have to try to design around it (like literally not letting you use it in many shrines). It's a cool ability, but the game itself hasn't been designed around the verticality.
Yeah, they added "dungeons", yet the dungeons are somehow less complex than the divine beasts in BotW. The only one that was half decent was the Rito one.

The story is significantly worse than BotW.
The visuals are largely the same. The gameplay is largely the same. The only real major difference is the stuff you can do with the ultrahand.
It also doesn't look like the game will reach the same number of sales as BotW, so rendering it obsolete seems like a stretch.

Kind of a deep cut, but the second Pokémon TCG on the Gameboy. It included the entire first game + a whole sequel. Only released in Japan, but there's fan translations nowadays.

Hard disagree on this one. The original had, I thought, much better powers / abilities. The dungeons were fine, for me at least, and exploration felt a lot more natural. Tears of the Kingdom, and it's weird "let's glue a bunch of parts together and solve physics puzzles" got on my last fuckin nerve - in fact I think this is the only Zelda game I completely gave up on halfway through out of sheer frustration.

I thought BotW was better for the same reasons too, I hated how every little thing required gluing shit together. I almost gave up, but I did manage to finish it. The story was pretty good though.

Super Mario Maker 2, Splatoon 3... I guess that's cheating, but basically a new entry in a multiplayer Nintendo game is gonna kill the previous entry (and if it's not, Nintendo is gonna make sure to kill it).

Dead Space 2
Aragami 2, though prefer the art style of 1

 

[DelireMan7]

Unreal Tournament 2004

I couldn't play UT2004 for long, UT99 was so much more superior to me. More dynamic and "snappy".


Street Fighter 2 is probably the best answer.

 

[Cakeboxer]

I recently played Mega Man 1 + 2 and i don't agree here. Yes 2 is better, but 1 is also a very good game and not far off.

I played NieR Automata and then replicant back to back and I vehemently disagree. Yes Ending E is a masterpiece and no game comes close to that crescendo but NieR 1 was a more personal and emotionally wrecking story for me. I love and respect the ambition of Automata but it went towards the philosophical and existentialism route too heavily which I didn't care about; case in point my buddies and I still discuss and listen OSTs of replicant together till this day but besides Ending E no one talks about Automata.

2B is pretty hot though. No one can deny those thunder thighs.
