Post trilogies where each game was significantly better than the last.

I really can't think of any except The Witcher.

Megaman could count, if you stop counting at 3.

OP here.

I loved the hell out of TW1. I completed literally every quest in the game, and even played all the free postgame mini-DLCs released by CDPR. Loved every second of it.

TW2 was a much different game, but I thought it was better. It was shorter and more action-packed, sure, but it was a nice change of pace after TW1. I loved it too. Played through it twice, to see both paths.

I still think the moment you first reach the top of that first hill in Ard Skellig and see the mountain was the greatest thing in that game.

Everything about Ard Skellig felt like what Skyrim should have been like.

This.

Also, CD Project were inspired bt Dark Souls, but combat movement (especially dodging) wasn't even remotel as responsive as in DS series

The story was pretty weak in Mass Effect 2, to be honest (although it was probably my favorite Mass Effect game due to the sheer amount of content). Mass Effect 1 had a great story (probably arguably the best of any of the Mass Effect games), and Mass Effect 3 was amazing in its own right. What made Mass Effect 3's story so great is you're finally taking it to these Reaper assholes that have been terrorizing Earth.

Mass Effect 2 was just your typical "build a team to save the world" plot that we've seen done over a million times. The only thing that makes Mass Effect 2 a great game is the sheer amount of content the game now has after nickel and diming people to death on DLC.

I would love to go back and play Mass Effect 1 again because it has been so long since I've played it that I've forgotten a good portion of the story (although I can still recall the climaxing parts of the story like I just played it yesterday). But the thing is, after the technical advancements in Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3, any time I try to go back and play Mass Effect 1 I just can't stomach myself to play it anymore. The overall game lacks the fluidity they finally found with Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3.

I would totally replay Mass Effect 1 though if they remastered it on Unreal Engine 4 (or hell even Unreal Engine 3.5).

Those overland missions. Those God damned overland missions. I'm so glad they got rid of that with Mass Effect 2 and kept them out of the game.

Metal Gear Solid 1/2/4

I loved 4, but it was just a nostalgia trip that unnecessarily "ended" the story. Metal Gear was the last game series I ever expected to actually have an ending, given it's fairly ambiguous nature, but 4 kept that nature AND tied most things up. Albeit pretty badly, but tied up nonetheless.

Horribly paced, terrible combat system, based off the shitty aurora engine from Bioware's NWN.

Game doesn't actually get "good" until you've been a LONG time in.

Bloody baron was the peak of the witcher 3, other sections were good, but nothing could match them

You're not wrong but those things don't really have anything to do with the roleplaying. The whodunnit quest and Act IV as a whole are some of my favourite gaming memories.

You only think that because you're comparing it to action games. Compare it to isometric RPGs and it's great.

What? No I'm not. I grew up with isometric RPGs. The Witcher 1 was a complete fucking stinker. It tried to be some sort of hybrid between traditional isometric RPG and action RPG, and just ended up failing.

>>323637221
Fair enough. I still hold that it takes far too long for the story to get it's footing (terrible pacing), but the end game did show a lot of promise with what CDPR is capable of.

Loving this meme. Don't get me wrong, there are bad DLC's and there are cases where a game shouldn't have paid DLC (or at least less), but paid DLC as a whole is bad? No.
>>
>>323638678
>paid DLC as a whole is bad? No.
Agreed. DLC in it's current state is overpriced trash. The potential was great for what DLC could have been. I liked it better when $25 seasons passes used to be called expansion packs and added near enough content to be considered a sequel.
>>
>>323638678
We've come to a weird place with paid DLC these days. Things like Horse Armor used to be criticized for being overpriced cosmetics. Nowadays, people wholeheartedly support overpriced cosmetics as "it's just cosmetics, it doesn't matter".

Not saying I agree or disagree, just saying it feels so weird considering the backlash from horse armor.
