    Shining Force III beats the living hell out of all other Shining Force games to me.

    I think the answer to this question besides that is......any sequel that isn't Devil May Cry 2, FFX-2, or Bioshock 2.
    Xenogears is the tragic story of how your whole life can take a crappy turn, just because you happened to see a lady in a wedding dress before her wedding.

    Bioshock 2 was a terrible game. I'm going to have to say Borderlands 2.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Disgaea 2 brought a level of difficulty that not even Disgaea 1 had. I thought it was an overall improvement.

    hahaha didn't you pm me with pics when you were about to crack into it. Man, i'm so JEALOUS!!! I gotta get to this piece soon...

    People bringing up Super Smash Brothers Melee in another thread... I'd disagree in every way possible, but I respect the opinion nonetheless.

    I thought Modern Warfare 2 had a far better campaign than the original and the multiplayer was an incredible, but logical progression to what was an amazing, but easy game.

    I would also say Tactics Ogre... Ogre Battle Episode V March of the Black Queen was such an original title, but the sequel had so much more refinement and went harder on the story.

    Sequels are almost always better. *shrug* This thread would be better served if it asked which sequels were rubbish. But only just... because sequels are often rubbish, too. Maybe it would be better served asking which sequels were exactly as good as the original.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    Metal Gear 2:Solid Snake is head and shoulder's better than the original Metal Gear and it set up the MGS formula as well for gameplay. MGS1 is better than MG2, and MGS3 is the best entry in the series IMHO.

    Mega Man 2 is way better than MM1 and well, most of the MM series. I'll second that MMX is a better sequel series over MM though.

    Devil May Cry 3 is still the best DMC entry. DMC4 had some potential but committed a cardinal sin and is banished for it.

    Star Ocean 2 is still better than SO1 or well the rest of the series.

    All of the sequels to Persona 1 are head and shoulders better than the first game.

    Shin Megami Tensei is a better spiritual sequel series to the original Megami Tensei series.

    Lufia 2 is still better than Lufia 1, as well as most of it's sequels...

    All of the Breath of Fire sequels are better than the first game.

    Amplitude is better than Frequency

    DDR MAX 2 is better than DDR Max 1

    Also inb4 SFII is better than Street Fighter.

    Well, I think everyone has to admit, Shining Force II is better than Street Fighter. By far.

    Link's Awakening is bloody marvellous.

    Most of the ones that jumped to my mind have already been mentioned: Pokemon Gold/Silver, Age of Empires 2, Half Life 2, Sonic 2 (though Sonic 3 & Knuckles was even better) and Warcraft II.
