A brief look back at some of the best sequels ever to be released.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
BioShock really? I mean sure it is a fantastic game and one of my all time favorites but there is no way in hell it is better than System Shock 2. If you played it you would understand why. System Shock games are one of the first games that blended FPS and RPG, and arguably no game after did it better except maybe Deus Ex.
"While I know BioShock isn’t a direct sequel to anything (and by god, did its own sequel suck), writer and designer Ken Levine likes to argue that it’s a “spiritual successor to SystemShock 2"
See this is why I don't understand why they didn't make BioShock Infinite into it's own franchise and call it something like Areoshock/AirShock. You could call that a spiritual successor to Bioshock, if it's got nothing to do with Bioshock then why call it Bioshock....is it just for the sake of sales.
I hope this is not saying Oblivion was better than Morrowind.
My first question would be: did he play Morrowind?
Worst trolling I've seen in months...
I don't know what's worse:
A) Apparently the writer doesn't know what a sequel is.
B) Not only is 007 Nightfire not a "sequel" to Goldeneye, it wasn't even the next Bond game to come after Goldeneye. 007 Agent Under First came out before it on the PS2, and there were PS1 James Bond games like Tomorrow Never Dies and the World is Not Enough.
C) 3 sentences is not enough to explain why a sequel is better than the original.
