Sons of Liberty

I'm 100% fine with this.
It's even better if the settings have overlap like you can go to some of the same places as in the original.
And even better if the stories are entirely self contained and have no bearing on each other.
>>345193318it's a book

Mercenaries? Don't remember if the first allowed you to any of the 3 but i remember the second one did

Raiden isn't really a villain though, and wanting the Patriots gone doesn't make Solidus necessarily a hero. He was still a cunt.

No, I was referring to Solid Snake being a protagonist, then a presumed villain that's not actually a villain at all

Doesn't necessarily mean he can't be a hero just 'cuz he's a cunt, just sayin', but Solidus is no hero lol

The "Is it Solid Snake" thing is such a minor, transparent part of MGS2 that that didn't even come to mind. My bad.
>>345192957
Resident Evil 2 and 3.
>>345193060
Halo 3 did this to Halo 2. It was pretty fucking dope
>>345195963
It was done badly in the translation.
In Japanese Solid and Solidus are voiced by the same guy so the first time you hear Solidus (you can't see him) you're left wondering "oh shit, what if he's actually the bad guy"
>>345194110
>and kill yourself afterward to break the cycle
No, the Arisen only got out for himself. Everyone else stayed.
Basically for everyone to find eternal peace the cycles have to continue until everyone has been Arisen and chosen to escape.

>Each game in the series starts off IMMEDIATELY where the last game left off
That was one of the coolest things about AssCreed until they killed Desmond and stopped doing that.

People didn't really like Desmond.

They killed him in AC3
Why did they change how Desmond looks in AC:R?

>>345199109
Close, but no cigar.
When did that happen in Dark Souls 2, anyway?
>>345199303
idk,
I'd say dark souls 1-3 but 2 is canon appearently.
>>345193727
Persona 2 but the protag has a face and a voice, he just never talks outside of combat.

>[motorcycle noises intensify]

>>345193787
I wonder if anyone ever thought that while playing the game. I played it last year and at no point did I really think solid had something to do with it. It's like at some point they say he's dead but you kinda know he isn't.

Torchlight 1 did this with the Alchemist, Destroyer and Vanquisher kept on being good guys, hilariously ineffectual against Alchemists' advance, but still good guys.

Diablo 2 did that as well.
Well, apart from everyone of them turning out bad.

Even in the Japanese version it's pretty obvious Solidus isn't Solid. The Plant opens with seeing his ass get in the elevator after knocking out two guards.
>>345193060
Golden Sun 2
>>345198015
They got better after 3, imo
4 was good but not for being an AC game.
Unity seemed by the numbers, if that makes sense. Went fucking NOWHERE with the modern day plot.Fuck you, I like it
Rouge felt like a better AC3
Syndicate has the best open world gameplay, in my opinion.
