When was the last time a game sequel wasn't a massive disappointment?

Do you remember one that even exceeded your expectations?

I think the hype cycle is making me tired of video games.

Witcher 3 is leagues ahead of 2.

Witcher 1 was pretty good though. 2 was just awful.

First game that comes to mind is Infamous 2, was better than the first in every way. Several years old at this point though.

Judging by BD sales probably never. That being said it has been confirmed that a special episode will air this year.

It just hit me that the series ended three years ago.

>When was the last time a game sequel wasn't a massive disappointment?
Yoshi's Woolly World, Pikmin 3, Virtue's Last Reward, Rune Factory 3, Mario vs Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis

>Do you remember one that even exceeded your expectations?
Virtue's Last Reward certainly was one. Rune Factory 3 was just amazing. Mario vs DK 2 was a lot more fun than the first DS game.

>I think the hype cycle is making me tired of video games.
Get off the goddamn hype train. It's a production of publishers to bleed you dry. Hold back and just pick up games which are confirmed good, or at least look interesting, rather than buying into advertisements without any information.

>>333552879
Why not just ignore game news to avoid the hype?

For me, Torchlight 2. I understand why other people disliked/hated it, but it was genuinely the first time in years where I could make the effort to beat and enjoy a new game instead of just buying it, pressing some keys in it, and forgetting it.

Bayonetta 2, hardware aside, was a bretty good sequel.
>>
Assassin's Creed II


Does Wolfenstein The New Order count?

>>333553597

Undertale.

I went in expecting absolute crap, and because my expectations were so low I was blown away when otherwise I would have been "meh it was ok".

Sly 2 was great.

Not really what I was expecting with a Sly sequel, but it certainly didn't disappoint at all.
