The art music and sound effects are driving me insane. Why would they do this?

I much preferred GTA4's mindless free mode over the stupid MMO grind of the 5th game. It was great mopping up entire servers with sawn off shotgun drive-bys.

It's so absurd that 5 punished you for murdering too many players.

It's incredible that it's somehow more boring than the APB free roam mode

I played KH1 and loved it (was late to the party there) and rented KH2 immediately once I beat the first one. I found the combat and story obscenely boring and couldn't be bothered to even play it the full week for the rental.

drat i haven't played since it came out but i remember the intro areas being excruciatingly long and other than that the combat being way more fun. also the gummi ship sections being vastly improved. maybe i'm off tho because i'm going by some like 15 year old memories here

The combat and movement in KH2 are way better but the level design is way simpler, mostly just a series of rooms with encounters. Some of KH1's worlds had really dumb confusing level design though

I'll admit that I never even figured out the gummi ship thing and completely ignored it.

I'd say the Mafia series fits this. The first was an admittedly flawed but really impressive (and for the time gorgeous) open world with a a ton of interacting mechanics that could be intimidating to start but you could have a lot of fun with them once you got a handle on how the game worked. 2 was, in my mind, a lovely Max Payne 2 with open world window dressing and 3 was just broken. Which sucks cause I'm a sucker for unique settings and 60s New Orleans had me from the get go.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver was amazing, whereas 2 was just meh.

For some reason I played a ton of Driver 2. Letting you get out of the car was a big mistake. I heard the most recent Driver was good though.
