/vr/ - Retro Games

I cannot fucking believe nobody posted picture related yet, or even mentioned it. It's like an ideal version of what a video game sequel should be. Don't think there's a better sequel in the history of the medium, honestly. Maybe DMC3, or MGS2?

I don't know if it surpassed DC1 since all in all the two games are rather different in what they were trying to do, but it has to be said that the fact that they took that control scheme and turned it into a successful run and gun arcade title is fucking insane. That was the CAPGOD era of CAPCOM though, one that we haven't yet quite entered again.

This, also. Turned a janky shitfest into one of the best games on the system, and the GBA was a legendarily good console with plenty of great shit on it. Even Buu's Fury was worse in some regards.

You could also say AC2 was a gigantic improvement over Air Combat. Though I think that AC3 tends to be overrated in certain regards, the split campaign system isn't as amazing as it seems, honestly. There's plenty of similar shit in all of the routes, it's not like they go wildly different depending on which corporation you pick.
