Post game series that got worse with every entry

[Anonymous No.7751698]

Mario Kart and Mario Party. As part of this type of game's sequel-itis, they literally cannot help themselves from introducing more wildly random, game-disrupting garbage every time.
>this new element is bigger and flashier and ruins the race/game cycle harder than ever before!
>more stuff, more disruptive, isn't it cool how powerful this annoying addition is!
This is the entire train of thought and they think these series should sell based on it.

Shadow Hearts peak sovl
Shadow Hearts 2 max polish
Shadow Hearts 3 garbage
Kodelka . . . Sacnoth I get it, you're trying to be different, but was the item system really necessary? (I like your NGPC games)

i like 3, but it just got too damn weird.
shania is still top tier girl though

[Anonymous No.7754690]

Dini Crisis series. Even if I liked 2 more, it's a decline for the survival horror genre.
>>7753598
2 is better than 1.
>>7753617
Crash and Spyro on psx were a steady, consistend improvement from 1 to 3, all RE psx games were great and 4 is considered as one of the best games in existence. The fuck are you smoking?
>>7753748
>>7754285
This is true, even if they didn't get that bad until maybe SH the Room (that I still liked).

>Crash and Spyro on psx were a steady, consistend improvement from 1 to 3
I don't know about Crash but I can see why people might prefer the original Spyro to the later ones. 3 is my personal favorite, but they really got away from the simple platforming aspects of the game and went hard into minigames which is not to everyones taste. The art direction def got way better over the games though

God Eater

[Anonymous No.7757176]

>>7757107
Crash is the same, there is so little to improve that they needed to go wider with new playstyles. Personally I liked 2 the most, but 3 clearly improves.
There is a reason why these remasters sell so well with so little changes: there is nothing to improve besides some very minor tweaks (camera control, minimap for Spyro, saving system for first Crash).

Mega Man X, for the most part.

Also, Rayman.

[Anonymous No.7757240]

>>7757206
Rayman 1 is the worst one though. It looks nice but it has the worst structure and level design I've ever seen.

[Anonymous No.7757469]

>>7757240
never really got the criticism, it's just a 2D platformer, the only issue is it's wildly different depending on the version, making it hard to discuss, and some do have problems (not just technical ones but entirely modified levels and such)

[Anonymous No.7757795]

[Anonymous No.7758178]

Almost every game in this thread peaked at game 2 and THEN declined. I don't think they fit the description.

[Anonymous No.7758367]

>>7753748
1>3>2

[Anonymous No.7758454]

>>7757176
The level select in 2 was much more soulful
The "buttons" in 3 were simply soulless

>X-COM
Tftd wasn't as fun as UFO Defense. Doesn't help that gauss weapons pale in comparison to laser. At least Apocalypse had some interesting new ideas.
>Animal Crossing
Wild World wasn't bad but I don't like the cut features from the gamecube version. Each new game after Wild World kept giving the player more control of the town instead of having the player being just a simple villager like the animals.
>FEAR
Extraction Point was the last good thing about this serious. I'm aware the sequels aren't retro but it's a damn shame how this series went downhill.
>Advance Wars
The series peaked with 1. The sequels weren't awful just not as good as the first game. Too bad the devs didn't know where to continue to the series.
>Deus Ex
This series went downhill so hard that there's been no word of a sequel for the past 5 years.
>Worms
Armageddon and World Party were last decent worms games.

>>Animal Crossing
The original game was just so god damn unbelievably comfy. I also liked Wild World but it still felt like something was missing. I don't think it's a rare opinion and I'm suprised no one has done a case by case breakdown of what made the original click so well.

[Anonymous No.7760027]

Vandal Hearts got progressively worse and uglier as the series progressed.

had a comfy n64 aesthetic, had mini-games (just encountering them was more cool than actually playing them honestly), had real world holidays (not fake holidays for zoomers)

>Animal Crossing
That, and the settings just got less and less cozy. I feel like I can't relax with the later games, especially the newest one.

>Advance Wars
This is true for the Wars World games, but Days of Ruin is arguably the franchise's best game. Also, I don't find AW1 unequivocally better than AW2 because AW2 fixed some balance issues—but AW1 did more with less overall.
