Chuck Buried Treasure posted:Hotline Miami is one of my favorite games of all time but I couldn't even finish the sequel. The devs clearly had no idea what made the original great and made a complete mess with only superficial resemblance to HM. Lumpy the Cook posted:Rome: Total War. They made huge improvements to the second game (it took like 2 years, though) but it still isn't a classic that I go back to frequently, like the first one. These are absolutely the ones I was going to say. R:TW was better than all the entries in the series after it, and HLM2 just somehow lacked everything that made HLM1 great. (Aside from the music, I guess) Kinda sad in a way, thinking about all the series that fell from greatness - such as the ones mentioned in this thread. At least we've still got the excellent originals, in any case!

I know it's not quite what the OP is about, but I felt kinda like this about the jump from Age of Empires II to Age of Empires III. I don't know what, but it just wasn't the same. AoE2 was so good, and the third game just somehow lost that feeling. (For the record, I quite liked Age of Mythology, but kinda treated/thought of it as being 'different' to AoE2. I guess that might be why I'm not so keen on AoE3, as it calls itself an AoE game, but is much more like AoM)

In Training posted:well check this out https://twitter.com/AgeOfEmpires/st...D127%23lastpost Oh, yes! Plutonis posted:By the people who brought us games such as Dawn of War 3 and Company of Heroes 2 ...oh, drat. Yeah, hopefully they pull this off. Odd that it's being made by Relic, although they did make Impossible Creatures for Microsoft, so I guess they must still have some kind of agreement/deal in place. I hope it comes out on Steam too, since after seeing these posts, I checked and apparently they're (initially, at least) bringing it out on the Win10 store.
