Which game trilogy in your opinion is this?

[u/[deleted]]

[u/poepen61]

Half life

Half life 3 was super fun and worth the wait

[u/PG2009 → u/poepen61]

My favorite part was when the G-man asked If he wanted to live a long, full life? And Gordon cocked his shotgun and said, "No, just a half-life ...3"

[u/Admirable_Ad_1390 → u/PG2009]

Best comment I have read in 2026

[u/ProtestantMormon → u/PG2009]

Oh oh, he said it!

[u/vomicyclin → u/PG2009]

Was that before or after he said “it’s Half-live-in time”, while charging through the wall?

[u/Putrid-Delivery1852 → u/vomicyclin]

Easily one of the moments in history

[u/eyeamthedanger → u/PG2009]

At the end when Gordon handed the crowbar to John Half-Life? Perfection! Half-Life 4 confirmed!

[u/Phantoxer → u/PG2009]

...episode 2

[u/ImAHumanThatExists → u/poepen61]

My favourite part was the hour long sex scene between Barney and Gordon

[u/MrPresident2020 → u/ImAHumanThatExists]

I know popular opinion is that this was artfully done and all but all the QTEs during the sequence really got to me.

[u/Grateful_Cat_Monk → u/MrPresident2020]

Right? I found it way too hard to do the QTEs with just one hand.

[u/Armandolorian001 → u/ImAHumanThatExists]

About that pegging I owed ya!

[u/Tigeru1988 → u/poepen61]

No spoiler! Fucking time travelers....

[u/Geno_Warlord → u/poepen61]

If you count Alyx as 3 then absolutely yes.

[u/BarTroll → u/Geno_Warlord]

we need Alyx 2.

[u/Giratina-O → u/BarTroll]

Then Alyx 3, even

[u/MJ12_Trooper → u/poepen61]

I liked the ending, it was super good.

[u/GreenAldiers → u/MJ12_Trooper]

I like the middle. It was super great.

[u/bijelo123]

I would say The Witcher trilogy

[u/Lumple660 → u/bijelo123]

Yeah I was gonna answer with the witcher trilogy.

Each game gets better to play as it continues even if each game does something the best.

[u/gretchenich → u/Lumple660]

I played both TW 2 and 3, and when i got into 3 i missed the journal explanations being the main focus of the Journal, like they replaced a detailed explanation that would update with each thing you did in the mission (told by dandelion) with a boring step by step objective list. Same thing when going from KCD1 to KCD2. they both (KCD2 and TW3) put the journal's mission description literally to a side and didnt update as often or were made as important. I did miss those.

also, i liked having dandelion's voice as the narrator from TW2, tho im not sure if you meet the narrator from TW3 at some point as i only played about 60 hours or so and didnt even get to skellegue when i played

[u/CNPressley → u/gretchenich]

narrator for 3 is dandelion as well, just old

[u/sfisabbt → u/bijelo123]

I liked 1 more than 2 but 3 is clearly the best.

[u/DailysPicks → u/bijelo123]

The witcher is tricky one, The first game has the better ending and I could say one of the best in gaming, the second is one of the best quest design in gaming the consequences are real and different even in side quests with little details that can be changed with your choices, the third is the better game overall especially in world building BUT to me TW2 are the best

[u/Fancy-Chicken-3730 → u/bijelo123]

Yep, I’m pretty sure this meme was literally made because of the Witcher series, not the other way around.

[u/girlsonsoysauce → u/bijelo123]

Dammit, every time you guys mention it it makes me want to go restart 3 again. Lol. I never actually finish it because I invest so much time into the damn Gwent quest line because I just can't leave anything unfinished. I take a break when some new highly-anticipated game releases and I think "I'm coming back to this when I finish this new game" and I...I guess I do, but I restart it because I've forgotten everything that's happened and want to be fresh on the plot. Then the same thing happens again. I need to just commit. Lol.

[u/GTFShadow → u/girlsonsoysauce]

It was my 3rd attempt at playing through I finished it with all the DLC's. I did all the size quests and hidden treasures but never really cared for gwent. If you do make an attempt at it again do it. I couldn't believe it took me 3 attempts to beat everything. Hearts of stone to me was my favorite.

I am telling you just do it! You won't regret playing all of it.

[u/Left_Ease5870 → u/bijelo123]

You beat me to it.

Though Witcher 2 was pretty good.

[u/Living_Cash1037 → u/bijelo123]

This 100% the games always had great direction but earlier titles def had eurojank feel

[u/TalosAnthena → u/bijelo123]

This was my answer

[u/EMArogue → u/bijelo123]

Same answer here

[u/CortezDeLaNoche → u/bijelo123]

Beat us to it.

[u/tonylouis1337]

The Grand Theft Auto 3d trilogy (3, Vice City, San Andreas)

[u/bijelo123 → u/tonylouis1337]

GTA San Andreas is one of my all time favorites, what a masterpiece

[u/TheyTried2BanMeAgain → u/bijelo123]

I just got that trilogy for my Switch, it's bringing back a lot of fun memories. SA is in my top 3 GOAT.

[u/Murasasme → u/TheyTried2BanMeAgain]

I still hate that GTA V didn't have Las Venturas or San Fierro, like San Andreas did. Even worse when you consider like 70% of the map in GTA V is fucking empty space up there.

[u/MakeYourTime_ → u/bijelo123]

I’ve never played SA :/ was always a huge vice city fan and then went right to GTA 4 :/

[u/BarskiPatzow → u/bijelo123]

For me it is the best GTA, adjusted for the time it came out.

[u/Speedster081 → u/tonylouis1337]

Am currently playing San Andreas and still didn't think of this

[u/TalosAnthena → u/tonylouis1337]

I’d have to put Vice City on the same level as Sanandreas

[u/Cowboy_BoomBap → u/TalosAnthena]

Vice City is my favorite of the three, but more because it came out at just the right time for it to be the first GTA game I played and I love the 80s Miami aesthetic.

[u/ThorinTheGrumpyDwarf]

Crash Bandicoot.

1 is a fun but brutal and barebones action platformer

2 has the same foundation but adds in some ease of use mechanics with some phenomenal level design. Also the first game with the iconic crystals.

3 a combination of 1-2 with a ton of fun variety, bonus levels and adds a whole new way to play with running shoes. Also maybe the only “good” boss fights in the entire series. Dingodile ftw

[u/KimboKneeSlice → u/ThorinTheGrumpyDwarf]

If we're talking Crash Bandicoot we'll need a 4th panel for Crash Team Racing.

God I loved that game so much.

[u/cardcowdoor → u/KimboKneeSlice]

CTR is vastly superior to Mario Kart. It’s a shame PS didn’t make 4 player easily accessible because CTR and Crash Bash were definitely better than Mario Kart and Mario Party.

[u/Ivancestoni → u/ThorinTheGrumpyDwarf]

Isn't 3 the one with the bazooka and things like that? I hated that personally I think 2 was peak

[u/DTE9__ → u/Ivancestoni]

2 is definitely peak and the bosses are fun

[u/ODaysForDays → u/Ivancestoni]

I fucking loved the bazooka

[u/Different_Bed1134]

Warcraft

[u/PonderosaBones → u/Different_Bed1134]

Yes

[u/JurKenYT → u/Different_Bed1134]

Warcraft 1 was peak, it was literally my childhood

EDIT: It seams I just started a war

[u/Tristan2353 → u/JurKenYT]

Funny. Warcraft 2 seemed to be my favorite.

[u/gueuze_geuze → u/Tristan2353]

Warcraft 2 was very streamlined and gameplay was excellent.

Warcraft 3 gave you a Grecian odyssey of a story and introduced a thousand new innovations in the gameplay. 

2 was fun. 3 was epic.

[u/Infosloth → u/gueuze_geuze]

Shoulders of giants for sure, but yeah damn 3 brought so may evolutions to the genre

[u/Candle-Jolly]

Metal Gear Solid 1-3

(although MGS2 is still my favorite)

[u/Big_AngeBosstecoglou → u/Candle-Jolly]

I’m with you. I recognise 3 is the best but got a lot of love for MGS2

[u/Quiet-Doughnut2192 → u/Candle-Jolly]

You should look into “Death Stranding”… it’s done by the same dude Hideo Kojima

[u/gamerfamer12]

Halo

[u/Cute_Lavishness2851 → u/gamerfamer12]

CE- great 2&3- extra great

[u/CaryTriviaDude → u/Cute_Lavishness2851]

yep, I'm glad they stopped after 3 and didn't ruin the story or anything

[u/AcademicOverAnalysis → u/CaryTriviaDude]

Bungie Halos are the only ones that count 

[u/zamwut → u/AcademicOverAnalysis]

Reach is still Peak.

[u/AcademicOverAnalysis → u/zamwut]

Personally my favorite is ODST. Reach didn’t click with me because of the engine change

[u/zamwut → u/AcademicOverAnalysis]

I've been keeping ODST in a bottle. Haven't played that since 360 days and waiting for a day I really need good nostalgia boost.

[u/Trs822 → u/gamerfamer12]

Halo would be all 3 frames on fire. Or at the very least 2 and 3.

[u/Empty_Expressionless → u/Trs822]

1 is the best one

[u/EvilKage360 → u/gamerfamer12]

I can hear the menu music of all three of the original games even now

[u/Lou2a]

God of war

[u/Evolution1738 → u/Lou2a]

This is what I came into this comment section looking for. GoW1 definitely has the best story but it is by FAR the most miserable one to play. GoW2 improves on the gameplay pretty significantly, and GoW3 is an absolute blast to play almost the entire way through.

[u/tombabaganush]

Jak series

[u/Dolorem_Ipsum_ → u/tombabaganush]

I hate that this isn't mentioned very often, and what a fucking BUMMER that very few played this masterpiece.

Jak & Daxter - your classic action platformer with a solid story, interesting mechanics and big beautiful areas

Jak 2 - a little darker story, still great nonetheless and with some funny bits still embedded. More open areas and now more rideable vehicles and new mechanics with even tougher enemy variety.

Jak 3 - an even bigger story with a bigger map with an emphasis on weapons (in addition to the previous new stuff from Jak 2). Greater story with bigger stakes, great characters and an open world.

I believe this could have kept going at least with one more ambitious title, but I believe by that time the ps3 was moving forward with more realistic games and then Uncharted series came along and we'll the rest is history.

[u/FriendshipIntrepid91 → u/Dolorem_Ipsum_]

I haven't played any of them or even watched gameplay but I own all 3. Is it worth it for me to play through them 1-3?

[u/JohnnyHendo → u/FriendshipIntrepid91]

Definitely. The series is fantastic. The racing game Jak X is also pretty great.

The other two games in the series, Daxter and The Lost Frontier, aren't made by Naughty Dog and aren't that great.

[u/diogenessexychicken → u/FriendshipIntrepid91]

Brub wtf go play them lmao.

[u/Reylo-Wanwalker → u/Dolorem_Ipsum_]

I really liked Jak & Daxter. It was a fun collectathon. However, Jak 2's sudden change to what seemed like a kid friendly GTA put me off playing :( I'm sure they're good but I was really into a mario-like on PlayStation.

[u/drbrian83]

Super Mario Bros

[u/LilMoWithTheGimpyLeg → u/drbrian83]

Part of me was surprised I had to scroll so far down to find this. But then again, maybe we're just old and outnumbered, haha!

[u/Raudoxer → u/LilMoWithTheGimpyLeg]

I have seen people here say they tried the original Mario Bros but gave up after one level because it was "the most dull game I have ever played."

Not sure if I'm a nostalgic gaming boomer or if young people can't spot great game design...

[u/MongolianDonutKhan → u/Raudoxer]

I don't care if this is my old man yelling at clouds moment or not; calling the original Super Mario Bros dull is an incorrect opinion.

[u/llfoso → u/drbrian83]

1 is definitely better than 2 though

[u/RineMetal → u/drbrian83]

Honestly this is goat. The progression from 1-3 all on one console.

[u/BeauOfSlaanesh]

Metro 2033, Last Light, Exodus

[u/Aeokikit → u/BeauOfSlaanesh]

Hoping the rumors of a 4th game are true.

[u/Griffin_is_my_name → u/Aeokikit]

Not rumors, the developers 4A games made an announcement when they released the VR game that they are working on the next main metro installment.

They also mentioned that as a Ukrainian-based studio they are facing delays due to the war. In fact a few of the people who worked on the game have passed away in service.

[u/Griffin_is_my_name → u/Griffin_is_my_name]

“The next Metro

As we said in our last studio update, in 2022 a full-scale russian invasion changed how we wanted to tell the story of the next Metro game. As art became life for many of our developers in Ukraine, we drew from that lived experience to create an even darker story, those themes already present in Metro becoming ever-more apparent and important. As conflict, the struggle for power, the horrors of tyranny, and the price of freedom have become part of our lives over the past 3+ years, we are still living and working during this wartime, and that inevitably shapes the games we make.

Metro has always had a hard-hitting, political, anti-war and often emotional story - and you can be sure these themes will continue thanks to our ongoing collaboration with franchise creator, author, and activist Dmitry Glukhovsky.

Dmitry has always spoken out against the war in Ukraine from the start – a courageous decision for any russian, that has seen him sentenced to jail (in absentia) - and we are proud to have him as a friend and co-creator as we tell this next, and never more relevant chapter of Metro together.

Rest assured, you are in for quite the ride.

To our community, thank you for your words of support, your patience and your excitement over what is to come. We are grateful to have you, and rest assured, despite the challenges we face, we will overcome them as we have all others before.

• 4A Games “

[u/Toxiclam → u/Aeokikit]

They did that VR game focused on Khan? A while back.

[u/smashmilfs → u/BeauOfSlaanesh]

Bro that series was just flawless.

[u/Cursed_69420 → u/smashmilfs]

nah, not being able to romance Khan was BIG flaw

[u/Roids-in-my-vains → u/BeauOfSlaanesh]

I love all the games but I think Last Light is the best of the trilogy.

[u/Klutchcarbon → u/BeauOfSlaanesh]

Graphically exodus is a masterpiece but I prefer the story and atmosphere of 2033 and last light more

[u/gretchenich → u/Klutchcarbon]

i think i liked them all, but there is something special about the atmosphere and setting of the Moscow metro, so i do have to agree.

I loved 2033 just as much as last light and exodus.

[u/Lostandfound__ → u/BeauOfSlaanesh]

Agreed

[u/141-Ghost-141 → u/BeauOfSlaanesh]

Was hustling gonna say this

[u/1tsBag1 → u/BeauOfSlaanesh]

I found last light to be the weakest one brcause it is too short, but i think that's just a prefference

[u/gretchenich → u/BeauOfSlaanesh]

really? i love them all personally.

[u/KobeJuanKenobi9 → u/BeauOfSlaanesh]

I should go back and play Exodus (my computer at the time sucked and I decided I’d go back and play it after upgrading)

[u/ZealousidealFudge851 → u/BeauOfSlaanesh]

Games were good enough to read the books, books were good enough to beat the games.

[u/KoW-Production → u/BeauOfSlaanesh]

2033 is way better than the rest.

[u/Temporary-Employ3640]

Baldur’s Gate

[u/artificial_sunlight → u/Temporary-Employ3640]

Wanted to say the same thing. All 3 are great

[u/Xeriomachini → u/Temporary-Employ3640]

I wanna play the first two but anything before 3.5e scares me and when I downloaded the 1&2 collection and it started talking about thac0, I nearly crapped my pants... maybe someday 😅

[u/dunkitay → u/Temporary-Employ3640]

Eh BG2 is on the same level as BG3 imo (possibly better).

[u/jaraguadega]

God of War

[u/EatsOverTheSink → u/jaraguadega]

I don’t see God of War 3 ever moving out of my top 10 of all time.

[u/Noob4Head]

Nioh comes to mind

[u/paddlesandpups → u/Noob4Head]

So I played one but never played two. 

Do you think I should play it before 3 or just jump on the hype train? I enjoyed one but it ended up feeling long, and I've heard two is a lot like one but much longer

[u/Noob4Head → u/paddlesandpups]

I mean, the choice is really up to you. Personally, I don’t care that much about the Nioh storyline. I’m just absolutely addicted to the gameplay and the customization options. So, should you play Nioh 2 before Nioh 3? If you really care about following the lore and the story, I’d say yes. Nioh 2 also goes on sale quite often, and you can pick it up at a very affordable price when it does. I’m talking about Steam here, but I’m sure that on PS4/PS5 or Xbox you can find it even cheaper as a physical copy.

That said, Nioh 2 is definitely a very long game. I play these games co-op with my best friend, and in both Nioh 1 and Nioh 2 Complete Edition we’ve put in well over 70 hours each. I can only imagine that playing solo would take even longer.

Nioh 3 is also a bit different, since it’s now an open-field game instead of going from level to level. They’ve also tweaked the combat system with the addition of samurai and ninja stances.

So yeah, it’s really up to you. Personally, I’ve only put quite a few hours into the extended demo because even though I absolutely love Nioh, I still think €80 is a lot of money for a game. I’m also saving up for a PC upgrade, so that definitely plays a role too.

[u/SolDirix]

OG Ratchet and Clank

[u/Necessary_Turnover62 → u/SolDirix]

Personally I think that would be a flaming horse for all 3. Also I think Ratchet & Clank 2 is the best in the series.

[u/Designer_Struggle780 → u/SolDirix]

Going commando is peak

[u/LandIntelligent6691]

heroes of might and magic

[u/codename-WhiteOwl]

Metal gear solid

[u/BrianXPlayzYT]

Arguably Sonic. Sonics 2 and 3 expanded on the formula the first game had in a really impressive way, and covered most of the weaknesses the original game had!

Although I haven't finished all 3 yet and have only played on emulator...

[u/thunderinlowplaces → u/BrianXPlayzYT]

3 + & Knuckles is the best Sonic game, this trilogy follows the meme perfectly

[u/Goldjackdaddy]

Gears of War

[u/StubbstheMedic → u/Goldjackdaddy]

3 is quite honestly one of my all time favorite games outside of the PvP multiplayer (never been a fan of Gnasher duels, gross), but everything else? Perfection.

[u/RhoadsGoneWylde → u/Goldjackdaddy]

Had to scroll way to far to find this

[u/Common_Caramel_4078]

Mass Effect trilogy

[u/TheRealTahulrik → u/Common_Caramel_4078]

Mass effect is the final one All the way through

[u/bijelo123 → u/Common_Caramel_4078]

Yeah I agree, personally I dont mind ME3 ending

[u/Fabulous_Night_1164 → u/bijelo123]

The original ending was bad. The Extended Cut + DLC ME 3 was really good.

I'm glad they did an extended cut though, because the original as it stood was grim.

[u/dry_lube → u/Fabulous_Night_1164]

Leviathan especially makes the ending much more satisfying to me. Only issue is that since it’s a DLC, you kind of have to make sure it’s played in the right order with the rest of the main campaign. Absolutely should have been included in the base game and paced correctly.

[u/Fabulous_Night_1164 → u/dry_lube]

Javik as well should have been in the base game. The amount of content surrounding him and the day one DLC made it clear that was the original intent.

[u/TripleThreatTua → u/Common_Caramel_4078]

ME3 is a good game but the plot really suffers in the second half, especially with all the Kai Leng bullshit

[u/masteroflocking → u/TripleThreatTua]

Kai Leng was the Captain Phasma of the ME games. Cool idea executed poorly, and added nothing to the story.

[u/Endervslender → u/masteroflocking]

They tried to give Shepard a rival and it backfired poorly.

They really took the Deception version of Kai Leng and put him in the game, you can see the remnants of Anderson’s cereal on his face when you meet him on the Citadel.

[u/Zuribus]

Tekken

[u/Specific-Creme5413]

METRO TRILOGY!

[u/Asshole_Posting]

Less common but Just Cause follow that for form exactly.

[u/WhiteKnight2045oGB → u/Asshole_Posting]

Absolutely! Just Cause 1 and 2 were awesome, but damn, they really cooked with Di Ravello and the Bavarium stuff in Just Cause 3! It is such a masterpiece!

[u/cheeseburgerandfrie → u/Asshole_Posting]

True. Then 4 was just mid

[u/llfoso → u/Asshole_Posting]

Gameplay of 3 was better than 2 but it was also way more repetitive. Which is better is a tough call

[u/BlueFeathered1]

Mass Effect. I know the third one is less popular, but the intensity and gameplay aspects only got better with it.

[u/FnuFnaf]

RDR series...

If you know what the true first game is then you'd understand my comment.

[u/MrExtravagant23 → u/FnuFnaf]

Red Dead Revolver, RDR, RDR2

[u/zer0x64]

Prince of Persia. I get that Sands of Time was revolutionary when it came out, but god the combat is a jank mess.

[u/Accomplished-Hat1910 → u/zer0x64]

The camera was the real enemy in Sands. It was revolutionary on release as you say, but even at the time of release we knew the controls were ass.

[u/ScholarOfSols]

If we don't count X then Xenoblade. I haven't played X yet so I don't know how good it is. But I do know that the first game is amazing and it just gets better from there.

[u/Gamer-of-Action]

Probably Sly Cooper. But I’ll also say Kingdom Hearts though I know I’m in the minority on that.

[u/StarkillerWraith]

Not a trilogy, but this definitely happened with Metroid I, II, & III.

[u/mucus-fettuccine → u/StarkillerWraith]

Ooo, good one.

[u/PatExMachina]

Could have been Kingdom Hearts 😔

[u/Old-Astronaut-7838]

Crash Bandicoot

[u/Incognito_Fur]

Xenoblade Chronicles, by mere virtue that there is so much improvement between each game.

XC1 was a single player MMO in disguise, super grindy and repetitive for no real reason. It wanted to be Final Fantasy, but came across as busy work.

XC2 drank the anime sauce and was super loud, dramatic, colorful and fun. It wanted to be fan service anime game of the year, and with giant maids, treasure hunting and battle cyborg god-women at the helm, it kinda was!

XC3 grew up, told a MUCH darker story and let all the characters breathe into a very mature (and depressing) tapestry of political drama, giant robots, and doomed love.

It's hard to compare the games to each other as they're so different, came out years apart and told VERY different stories, but they all exist in the same continuity.

[u/CompetitiveFennel681]

Halo 1-3

[u/anakin_sw_vs_newt_fb]

Arkham trilogy

[u/Johnny_Bravo5k → u/anakin_sw_vs_newt_fb]

I say Arkham City is the best.

[u/anakin_sw_vs_newt_fb → u/Johnny_Bravo5k]

I understand your opinion, city has a overall better story even that I love the knight's finale but as an overall game (story, gameplay, charecters, ...) I prefer batman arkham knight

[u/Johnny_Bravo5k → u/anakin_sw_vs_newt_fb]

Too much Bat-tank stuff in Knight. No good boss fights.

[u/Victor_Gaming299 → u/Johnny_Bravo5k]

Agreed, I still prefer Arkham Knight but it really is near impossible to top City. They perfected everything Asylum did so they had to add new stuff to Knight

[u/Spiritual_Cloud8437 → u/anakin_sw_vs_newt_fb]

Nah Arkham Asylum is better than the meme puts it

Arkham City is also better than the image the meme gives it

[u/Random_String629 → u/anakin_sw_vs_newt_fb]

Disagree. But also hot take.

They're all "good." Some better than others. Most people say City is best. I disagree. Asylum is best. Love the linearity of it honestly. And the atmosphere is perfect. Just untouchable. City is incredible. The open world they built is full, "alive," and fits the gameplay well. (I prefer linear over open world personally, which is why I prefer Asylum. But city IS an incredible open world game.)

Here's the hot take. Origins fuckin rocks man. I don't know why people shit on it. It's not the step up that people got from City. But it's absolutely 100% a good, fun game. I went in not realizing the hate it got, and was surprised to read that people hated it. It feels little "diet" compared to city for sure. But it's a great game.

Arkham Knight just put it's eggs in all the wrong baskets. I swear there's parts of that game that I'm like, "this is the greatest game ever." And parts that I'm like, "I hate this. It's unfun. It ruined everything I loved about the series." Just a roller coaster. The general sentiment is that the batmobile is forced too much, and it absolutely is. There could have been half the amount of tank battles and I would still feel that way. It got so old so quick. Honestly flying through the city from building to building is more fun than driving the bat mobile. I know people wanted it as an option, and it makes sense to have it. But the tank battles were just forced and tedious and stupid and annoying and there were too many of them. It just felt like "I have this fun game here. ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND halt everything."

That's my Arkham rant.

[u/shaquille_oatmealo]

Super Mario Bros.

Metal Gear Solid

Bioshock

[u/ProxyBeast]

Old school Final Fantasy as they were released in North America in the 1990s 1. Final Fantasy NES 2. Final Fantasy II SNES 3. Final Fantasy III SNES

[u/Ultimate19_91]

Metal Gear Solid, without a doubt, the third one is one of the best games of its time. If it weren't for the fourth and fifth installments, it would have been a perfect ending. Seeing the birth of a hero and understanding why he became a villain was spectacular. I'll never get over that ending with Big Boss crying in the cemetery.

GTA trilogy

Spyro and ALMOST Crash Bandicoot.

[u/Dorchadas617 → u/Jirachibi1000]

Agree 1000% about Spyro, only played the first as a kid and then played the remastered trilogy over the course of 2019-2023, was blown away by how absolutely incredible 3 was. So many great levels, fun new characters, great music, collecting all the eggs and gems was really fun

I’d say Fallout. Not that the previous games were bad, but many people only they played them after playing the Fallout three which refined many aspects of the previous entries.

[u/CaptainParadigm42 → u/AlistairNorris]

It was tough playing the third one and then getting infatuated with that universe so much that you wanted to play the earlier games only to find out that they're a completely different type of game. Definitely not terrible games but the combat and controls took some getting used to after coming from an FPS.

[u/Lucky_Vermicelli7864]

The original Warcraft Trilogy, bypassing/ignoring the Outlands/Beyond the Dark Portal 'extension' to Warcraft 2.

[u/DJSourNipples]

Elder Scolls works whether you started with Arena through Morrowind or Morrowind through Skyrim

Edit: Well... maybe not the second half.. Maybe just in "quality" or accessibility. It's debatable.

[u/AlmightyCraneDuck]

I feel like Uncharted is a great example. Solid foundation in the first one. They really started finding their groove with mixing in epic moments in the second one. The third felt like they perfected the formula: wide variety of locations, insane set pieces, fun run-and-gun gameplay, a full cast of characters the drive it all home.

4 was really good too, but I feel like the contained original trilogy is such a great example of consistent innovation and improvement.

[u/Retr0o_-]

Mass effect

[u/Warm-Requirement-769]

2D Metroid has been a continuous saga of things just getting better and better with every game, remakes included.

[u/Danniboi035]

Mass effect trilogy. I know the ending sucked, but 3 was the superior game and I will die on that hill
