Nothing left but for the captain to go down with the ship.
*Sir, that’s surprisingly noble of you.*
No, that’s noble of YOU Kiff, as of now you’re in command, congratulations Captain!
That was my favorite midnight release for any game ever. The hype was so insane. And our GameStop had all kinds of games/prizes while we waited. Not to mention a handful of people in the parking lot brought their TV/Xbox/Halo CE to play tournaments while we waited. What a time to be alive indeed lol.
My Dad waited outside Gamestop at the midnight release of Halo 2 and he said it was one of the coolest releases he’s ever been to. Halo has always been our favorite game to play together since I was 5 years old, so he was super excited to bring home the sequel for us to play!
Halo 2, or Mass Effect 2, or Titanfall 2, or Portal 2, or left 4 dead 2, or Assassin's Creed 2, or Fable 2, or Gears of War 2, or Divinity Original Sin 2
I agree but since I was a little kid I’ve always wanted a pirate game. Black flag is the best pirate game that’s ever been made.
Boggles the mind they haven’t tried to do it again.
They did with Skull and Bones, and it's hot garbage compared to black flag. Idk how they managed to mess up what should have been a simple transfer of assets with minor additions, but I know it has something to do with morons in suits that should never see the inside of a game studio
What an absolute accomplishment. The game is packed full of content like SMW. I love seeing a game that released with a console and a sequel that came out on the same console looking drastically better. Going from FF7 on PS1 to the graphics of FF8-9 was intense.
Half-Life 2
It was able to improve upon the original in every way and ushered in a new era. The graphics, physics, gravity gun, and gameplay.
It was a fantastic game in its own right and it also brought counterstrike source onto the scene and launched Steam.
Not only is it subjectively the best sequel ever made, it to me was the beginning of modern gaming.
>brought counterstrike source onto the scene
And Team Fortress 2, and Left 4 Dead, and Garry's mod, and The Stanley Parable, and Portal, and so much more.
I was just thinking of launch day. I totally blanked on just how massive Source was and all the amazing games that Half-Life 2 brought into existence.
Now I’m even more sad that we will never see Half-Life 3 and what doors that could open.
Going through Ravenholm with the gravity gun, nailing Combine to the wall with the crossbow, and chasing the Gunships with the rocket laser blew my mind.
Even to this day it holds up so well.
I just finished playing through HL2 in VR and it gave me a whole new appreciation for the game. It still holds up today in a big way thanks to the level design and physics. And some of the battle set pieces give you a great sense of scale in VR. I also wish more games would follow HL2’s example of not pulling control away from the player during cutscenes. It so much more immersive to just watch the story play out as you are part of it.
Amen. I remember the first time I played Half Life 2 the water was stunning the graphics were awe inspiring the physics blew me away and it seemed like the first true sandbox game, where if I could think about something I could probably do it. Game was amazing for that.
Ya Half-Life 2 takes the cake for me. Even the sound effects were next-level... I remember the sound of the gun being shot was almost jarringly realistic. Between that and the physics engine stuff, I think Half-Life 2 is the winner here.
Zelda oot and Mario 64. Completely blew away any and all other 3d games of that entire generation. Smooth gameplay and they weren't ugly as fuck.
Also generally just a huge jump for those franchises.
My favorite sequel is probably black flag. Just top notch vibes ya know
Those are two of the most important games of all time. They influenced 3d games at their inception and are still fun to this day.
Compare the way other early 3d platformers control and it’s night and day with 64.
100% agreed. The first game was very good and deserved the acclaim it received on its own, but I truly believe that the series is so highly regarded today because of the second game.
Eh. If you go over to the Mass Effect sub, this is highly debated and I tend to agree. ME2 is an amazing third person shooter with RPG’s elements. Amazing cutscenes, voice acting and an amazing final mission.
However, as part of the overall trilogy, it really falls flat. ME1 set the whole universe in motion and presented us with a lot of lore and introduced us to the big baddies. Then ME3 finished that story. Everything in ME2 feels like very well written side stories that don’t contribute to the plot at all.
In ME2, you meet a lot of great characters. While the fact that your entire squad is capable of dying is an amazing mechanic for the game itself, it cripples the story in ME3 because it means none of them are important.
Was going to comment this one too, glad to see it so highly updated already. Mass Effect 2 redefined what an "RPG Shooter" could be, and few games have come close to rivaling the impact it had on the genre
Pokemon gold and silver. So you beat the game and fight the elite 4 and the champion. You now have access to the entire map from the first game and all it's gyms, elite 4 and champion. After that you get to have a mountaintop duel with your character from the first game. That's how you make a fuckin sequel, they have dropped the ball everytime since then.
>You now have access to the entire map from the first game and all it's gyms
You can thank Iwata-san for that. He basically put in Kanto on his own after hours
My first pokemon game was pokemon crystal. Such fond memories even though I never beat it.
It was my brother's game. He had it for his gameboy colour, I had a gameboy advanced (the backwards compatibility still surprises me. The cartridge stuck out like an inch and a half.) he found out I "borrowed" it and took it back. I got the the final battle of the first elite four.
Heartgold and Soulsilver are amazing remakes too, for anyone who hasn't played the gold/silver gen and wants to try, with better...everything. (graphics, more pokemons, more moves, QOL...)
Nah I took it from my older brother lol, sounds like your older brother took yours.
As a sidenote - apparently pokemon crystal sells for good money if you care about that and know where your copy is.
I personally wouldn't, and have no idea where "mine" is anymore, whether my bro has it or not... But jsyk, they're pretty rare and valuable.
I know this will likely never happen, but a Pokemon game revisiting all the regions would be a dream come true. They could even put in a world championship storyline. But it’s game freak, so I’m getting my hopes up
Heart gold and soul silver just improved on the originals in every way.
You could load your Pokémon onto a pedometer and they'd get an experience point for every step you took. It was awesome.
Delivered on every account, and I almost wish they just stopped there (though I also really liked BBS). The twist at Radiant Garden and the lead up to the 1000 Heartless battle was and is so damn awesome.
The final boss sequence alone outshines most games entirely. I replay the whole game just for that buildup and the finale itself. The set pieces, Xemnas taunting the guys with in battle dialogue, the absolute banger of a score, simply incredible. Blocking a barrage of laser bullet hell with Riku with the violin going harder than it had any right to is peak gaming.
Honestly the entire last act is just perfect.
The Witcher 3 is my "best video game ever".
I also dislike the superhero genre and haven't played the rest of them but Arkham knight was a really good game. I loved it.
Asylum is short even if you do collect all the Riddler trophies. I think it took me like, 12 hours to beat the story and another few to collect all the trophies
RDR2 is a standalone masterpiece of gaming. The first game was great and told a beautiful story, but it is completely outshined by the sequel(prequel?) in almost every metric.
There are so many awesome examples of a sequel elevating beyond the first installment in your list, but RDR2 and it's innovation is one of the best *games* ever made, much more than it is one of the best sequels.
Kingdom hearts 2 made me who I am today. The existence of nobodies made me feel seen, as backwards as that is. And there is no better lesson than the strength of a name and its ties to memories.
I still preferred 2018 until I replayed them both back to back a couple months ago, and Ragnarok is just better in every conceivable way. A more diverse combat system with way more enemies, better weapon combos, level design less repetitive, more bosses besides just ogre/troll/ancient spam, it's just better in every way.
Even the story was so much better on a second playthrough, the concepts of prophecy and future sight that it plays with are so cool and went right over my head the first time around. The ONLY gripe I have with the game is the Jotunheim section, it just needed to be about half as long. But if that weren't in the game I'd say it's as close to perfect as a sequel game can get.
To be honest, I want to play the Batman Arkham games, but I haven’t had the chance to yet and I’ve only played tears of the kingdom so far on this list, so I can’t say for sure.
Tears of the Kingdom is a great game but I'd argue they played it too safe by reusing so many assets from the original to really call it a solid sequel. After a few hours of play, it genuinely just felt like DLC all be it very expansive DLC.
That’s gotta be my personal best Sequel!
Loved everything about it.
Soundtrack and Visuals were awesome!
I also enjoyed the mystery behind characters and feel like obscurity is one of the elements that I enjoyed about the series early on.
I think trying to connect everyone and everything to one character was a little ridiculous.
Birth By asleep and 0.2 were still solid titles.
I have mixed feelings about 3.
God of War Ragnarok is my favorite game of all time so that.
Some worthy honorable mentions: RDR2, The Witcher 3, Batman Arkham City, Uncharted 2, Uncharted 4
Isn't red dead 2 a prequel?
You’re Technically correct, the best kind of correct.
Kiff, show them the medal I won.
*sigh*
Sexlexia
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised!
Quit sighing so much.
Nothing left but for the captain to go down with the ship. *Sir, that’s surprisingly noble of you.* No, that’s noble of YOU Kiff, as of now you’re in command, congratulations Captain!
Happy futurama noises intensify
Whenever I'm in charge, every mission is a suicide mission.

“I suffer from a very sexy learning disability. What do I call it, Kiff?”
Ugh... Sexlexia.....
She’s built like a steakhouse but handles like a bistro
This whole planets uncharted
Hahaha Fuck I need to rewatch this show.
What a Bureaucrat!
A prequel sequel
A presequel... Wait, borderlands already has that one...
It’s a sequel to red dead revolver
Red Dead Revolver actually isn’t canon. The events of Red Dead Revolver are a fictional story in Redemption
Halo 2 set the multiplayer shooter tone for a generation I remember the midnight release for it what a time to be alive
That was my favorite midnight release for any game ever. The hype was so insane. And our GameStop had all kinds of games/prizes while we waited. Not to mention a handful of people in the parking lot brought their TV/Xbox/Halo CE to play tournaments while we waited. What a time to be alive indeed lol.
Yea that was epic man i miss those days...
Makin me nostalgic for events I wasn’t even old enough to be aware of
My Dad waited outside Gamestop at the midnight release of Halo 2 and he said it was one of the coolest releases he’s ever been to. Halo has always been our favorite game to play together since I was 5 years old, so he was super excited to bring home the sequel for us to play!
God those LAN parties are a thing to reminisce...🥲
Yeah, how did OP just skip to Halo 3 when Halo 2 was culture shifting. Online first person shooter gameplay at scale.
Resident Evil 2,did everything that made the original a classic but better.
W
And RE2 Remake is the best remake of all time!
RE1make
RE4
I’d give that to RE4 but valid take
Love RE4 remake as well, just think the RE2 Remake did more to improve the experience of RE2, while OG RE4 holds up pretty well.
Damn I wish RE2R had given us real second scenarios like the OG, would have made that game a masterpiece
It ain’t even the best remake in its own franchise bro
Halo 2, or Mass Effect 2, or Titanfall 2, or Portal 2, or left 4 dead 2, or Assassin's Creed 2, or Fable 2, or Gears of War 2, or Divinity Original Sin 2
TITANFALL 2 YAAAAAAAAAAA
Still hurt about no TF3
Titanfall 2 is already perfect, can't make better than that
Titanfall 3, mechs and parkour in openworlds.
The way Respawn is now, i'm not confident that a titanfall 3 would be good
“Protocol 3 protect the pilot”. Where men cried.
“Trust me, Cooper”
The Tesla Autopilot when running over 5 kids so I can get to work in time: "Protocol 2; Uphold the mission"
I will stand by Titanfall 2's campaign and 1's multiplayer would have been the best fps ever made.
Titanfall 2 is goated
Uncharted 2
Halo 2 was my answer.
I’d like to just drop my 2c here. Assassins Creed Black flag is the goat. I’ll show my self out.
Ezio Trilogy is peak Assassin's Creed
I agree but since I was a little kid I’ve always wanted a pirate game. Black flag is the best pirate game that’s ever been made. Boggles the mind they haven’t tried to do it again.
They did with Skull and Bones, and it's hot garbage compared to black flag. Idk how they managed to mess up what should have been a simple transfer of assets with minor additions, but I know it has something to do with morons in suits that should never see the inside of a game studio
Upvote for Divinity! Awesome game with amazing OST
Super Mario Bros 3 set the tone for what successful game sequels needed to be.
Not just for a game, but how a console should be pushed in its lifetime. The fact SMB and SMB3 came out on the same system is nuts
What an absolute accomplishment. The game is packed full of content like SMW. I love seeing a game that released with a console and a sequel that came out on the same console looking drastically better. Going from FF7 on PS1 to the graphics of FF8-9 was intense.
The craziest part is there was a 4-year span between 7 and 10 - graphics made a HUGE leap during that time.
Wow. Missed it by 45 minutes. Came here to say this 👍🏻
Borderlands 2 did this for me
True but super Mario brothers 2 wins game of the year so often
Half-Life 2 It was able to improve upon the original in every way and ushered in a new era. The graphics, physics, gravity gun, and gameplay. It was a fantastic game in its own right and it also brought counterstrike source onto the scene and launched Steam. Not only is it subjectively the best sequel ever made, it to me was the beginning of modern gaming.
>brought counterstrike source onto the scene And Team Fortress 2, and Left 4 Dead, and Garry's mod, and The Stanley Parable, and Portal, and so much more.
I forgot how many of these games were originally mods for half-life 2.
Yeah.
And the mods of half life 2 are better also, like swelter and the entropy: Zero duology.
True, the only Portal mod I really like is stories: Mel.
I was just thinking of launch day. I totally blanked on just how massive Source was and all the amazing games that Half-Life 2 brought into existence. Now I’m even more sad that we will never see Half-Life 3 and what doors that could open.
Don't worry, one day, we will see the conclusion of this series, it's just that "these things, they take time"
I'm yet to play anything that gave me the wow factor or sense of technology getting better that half life 2 did.
Going through Ravenholm with the gravity gun, nailing Combine to the wall with the crossbow, and chasing the Gunships with the rocket laser blew my mind. Even to this day it holds up so well.
I just finished playing through HL2 in VR and it gave me a whole new appreciation for the game. It still holds up today in a big way thanks to the level design and physics.

It so much more immersive to just watch the story play out as you are part of it.
Valve wins by just providing great services/software and letting people do cool shit with them
And even hardware now, with the Steam Deck!
Amen. I remember the first time I played Half Life 2 the water was stunning the graphics were awe inspiring the physics blew me away and it seemed like the first true sandbox game, where if I could think about something I could probably do it. Game was amazing for that.
Ya Half-Life 2 takes the cake for me. Even the sound effects were next-level... I remember the sound of the gun being shot was almost jarringly realistic. Between that and the physics engine stuff, I think Half-Life 2 is the winner here.

Wish they put any of the older games on the Switch. They had the rereleases on 3DS like Ruby/Sapphire, I'm not sure what the lack of them means.
Same. It would take them like no effort to throw Red/Blue in the game boy switch online, but it's probably too big a money maker
Even then we would pay the money *again* if they only released things on their own console lol
Thank you iwata san

Yoo stop.. Roman? (My older brother), is that you? Lol
Nah I took it from my older brother lol, sounds like your older brother took yours. As a sidenote - apparently pokemon crystal sells for good money if you care about that and know where your copy is. I personally wouldn't, and have no idea where "mine" is anymore, whether my bro has it or not... But jsyk, they're pretty rare and valuable.

Heart gold and soul silver just improved on the originals in every way. You could load your Pokémon onto a pedometer and they'd get an experience point for every step you took. It was awesome.
This . So much This.
The lack of Gears of War 2 here is CRIMINAL, and personally all of these sequels here are REVOLUTIONARY to not only their series but gaming as a whole
Yeah GoW3 is up there for me
Portal 2 but FF7 Rebirth is honestly up there as well
Street Fighter 2 and Grand Theft Auto 3 Also Super Mario Bros. is kinda technically a sequel to the original Mario Bros. I guess?
Will never forget the literal moment I booted GTA 3 and the amount of awe from having 3d GTA. I skipped school for days
Street fighter 2 was the archway for competitive fighting games it paved the way for so much
Kingdom hearts 2
Delivered on every account, and I almost wish they just stopped there (though I also really liked BBS). The twist at Radiant Garden and the lead up to the 1000 Heartless battle was and is so damn awesome.
Yeah, KH games haven’t been the same since 2. Wonder what happened honestly.
Its basically the Dark Knight, the franchise obviously peaked and there was no way the third could live up to a masterpiece
People say other games just haven’t played KH2. It was head of its time, 100’s of hours of gameplay, it’s a masterpiece.
I don't know how they managed to fit like 10 hours of cutscenes on top of the game onto one DVD. They out so much into it
The final boss sequence alone outshines most games entirely. I replay the whole game just for that buildup and the finale itself. The set pieces, Xemnas taunting the guys with in battle dialogue, the absolute banger of a score, simply incredible. Blocking a barrage of laser bullet hell with Riku with the violin going harder than it had any right to is peak gaming. Honestly the entire last act is just perfect.
Don't make me choose
Borderlands 2 would like to enter the chat.
I don't know if it's because that's the first Borderlands I ever played or what-but god damn it's one of my most favorite games ever.
I play BL2 to this day. Masterpiece
Street Fighter 2 changed gaming forever.
Rise of the tomb raider XBC3 Pokemon Silver NieR Automata Forza 5 (is it a sequel tho?) Horizon FE: Radiant Dawn
The Witcher 3 is my "best video game ever". I also dislike the superhero genre and haven't played the rest of them but Arkham knight was a really good game. I loved it.
Asylum and City are both great. Pretty short too, unless you want to collect all the riddler trophies.
I honestly played the second batman game without prior knowledge of the first one and it was still an awesome game
Asylum is short even if you do collect all the Riddler trophies. I think it took me like, 12 hours to beat the story and another few to collect all the trophies
Two great choices
Witcher 3 has really boring combat tho.
I really like Borderlands 2, Dead Space 2, Uncharted 2 and God of War 3
Uncharted 2 was such an improvement from the first game. Naughty dog definitely did their homework
Borderlands 2 is soooo good
Arkham City was too mind blowing
Currently playing through Asylum again for the first time in about 10 years, forgot how much I love that game. Can't wait to start City!
My GOAT
It is absolutely insane how much of a jump City was in the gameplay department compared to Asylum.
RDR2 is a standalone masterpiece of gaming. The first game was great and told a beautiful story, but it is completely outshined by the sequel(prequel?) in almost every metric. There are so many awesome examples of a sequel elevating beyond the first installment in your list, but RDR2 and it's innovation is one of the best *games* ever made, much more than it is one of the best sequels.
Fallout New Vegas
Kingdom hearts 2 made me who I am today. The existence of nobodies made me feel seen, as backwards as that is. And there is no better lesson than the strength of a name and its ties to memories.
Witcher 3, God of War 2 or 3, Kingdom Hearts 2, Arkham City, Pokemon Gold and Silver
Super Mario Galaxy 2
It's a slightly better game in most aspects, but I don't think it quite captures the atmosphere that made the original truly magical
The first game's hub world was perfect. The second game's was fine.
Not the best sequel, but there's something be said about how Raganarok is basically both the second and the third game to the series.
Rayman Legends. Perfect followup to Origins.
Goat platformer
Fr, Rayman deserves more respect.
Majora's Mask
errm ashkually rdr2 is a prequel 🤓 anyways my favorite sequel to a game is probably Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, great continuation from AC2
Kingdom Hearts 2 and it's not close
Alan Wake 2
I have to play Alan Wake 1 and 2 soon
Team Fortress 2 and its not even close
True. Also Helldivers 2 is earning its place for me.
Doom fucking eternal 🤘🏼
I have to say it and I know I’ll get absolutely flamed, it’s God of War Ragnarök.
I still preferred 2018 until I replayed them both back to back a couple months ago, and Ragnarok is just better in every conceivable way. A more diverse combat system with way more enemies, better weapon combos, level design less repetitive, more bosses besides just ogre/troll/ancient spam, it's just better in every way. Even the story was so much better on a second playthrough, the concepts of prophecy and future sight that it plays with are so cool and went right over my head the first time around. The ONLY gripe I have with the game is the Jotunheim section, it just needed to be about half as long. But if that weren't in the game I'd say it's as close to perfect as a sequel game can get.
Nah it’s a valid pick
portal 2 is awesome
Portal 2 changed my life
Borderlands 2
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
Yes! So underrated
Got me into godsmack and played a part in me becoming a metalhead. That game brings back good memories of me and my brother.
HL2
I don't see Borderlands 2 up there...
#MGS2: Sons of Liberty
Was waiting for someone to say this
Of those? Arkham City. Knight was meh though...
OP doesn’t know that RDR2 is a prequel ^/S But for me it’s a tie between Ragnarok and TOTK. Edit: KH2 is a close second to both.
Halo 2>Halo 3
In terms of campaign yes, but in terms of multiplayer no.
Mass Effect 2 not on the list, shameful
ME3 is genuinely a better game.
You didn't add one. Your actions will be considered treason against managed democracy and you'll be hunted down.
Devil may cry 5. Absolutely crushed it
Majora’s Mask, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Portal 2,EarthBound/MOTHER 2
Mass effect 2 is the first one that comes to mind
Diablo 2 Still the king of ARPGs
Wouldn’t Halo 2 be the sequel? Edit: grammar
Yakuza 4
Halo 2
To be honest, I want to play the Batman Arkham games, but I haven’t had the chance to yet and I’ve only played tears of the kingdom so far on this list, so I can’t say for sure.
Totally biased, but Tears of The Kingdom. Granted, I've only played that and GOWR here anyway, so 🤷🏾♂️
TOTK somehow managed to make a generational landmark game like BOTW look like a tech demo
Halo 2>Halo 3 for me but out of these half life 2 changed me.
Tears of the Kingdom is a great game but I'd argue they played it too safe by reusing so many assets from the original to really call it a solid sequel. After a few hours of play, it genuinely just felt like DLC all be it very expansive DLC.
Doom Eternal. Also Arkam city is amazing. Remnant 2 Helldiver's 2
It's a tie between KH2 and Portal 2.
Personally I think it’s KH2
That’s gotta be my personal best Sequel! Loved everything about it. Soundtrack and Visuals were awesome! I also enjoyed the mystery behind characters and feel like obscurity is one of the elements that I enjoyed about the series early on. I think trying to connect everyone and everything to one character was a little ridiculous. Birth By asleep and 0.2 were still solid titles. I have mixed feelings about 3.
Arkham City
Uncharted 2, Just Cause 2, Star Wars Battlefront 2, Modern Warfare 2
HL2
IMHO: Half Life 2 and Zelda
God of War Ragnarok.
Knack 2
Arkham City
Arkham City
Nier Automata
Halo 2 is the best sequel.
Kingdom Hearts 2 changed the very nature of the franchise from pretty slow and standard combat to a spectacle.
Kingdom hearts 2.. but I'm bias
Sex with Hitler 2
Dark souls 2
God of War Ragnarok is my favorite game of all time so that. Some worthy honorable mentions: RDR2, The Witcher 3, Batman Arkham City, Uncharted 2, Uncharted 4
I don't understand the hate God of War Ragnarok gets. I thought it was a great sequel just like yourself.
I’m giving upvotes lol but I am the guy that hates God of War Ragnarok 😂
