Cute Quinn
has any game series had as big of a jump in gameplay quality as Mass Effect 1 to Mass Effect 2
oh i'm scary
Metroid 2 to Super Metroid?
Cute Quinn
oh that's a good one
Cute Quinn
Metroid 2 is borderline unplayable
Cute Quinn
and SM is one of the best games of all time
the grink
I don't know if I can count Zelda 1 to LTTP because there technically WAS a game between them
Cute Quinn
on the other hand, Zelda 2 to LTTP
oh i'm scary
honestly
oh i'm scary
the first two Zeldas hold up a lot better than the first two Metroids
oh i'm scary
like
oh i'm scary
they're still an agonizing endurance test
the grink
Zelda 2, like Castlevania 2, has aged incredibly well but what aged was hugely divisive from the getgo
oh i'm scary
but in Metroid 1 you need an upgrade to be able to fight enemies that are shorter than you

I am the lone human in the universe that preferred ME1.
vicious mockery
as someone who loves da2 - da2 to inquisition
BWAAAAAH!
PolyaMixedNuts
: you may very well be
Rama
I am the only person besides Reg's Mom who liked ME1's open world elements but I still think ME2 improved on just about everything else.
PolyaMixedNuts
I don't say that ME1 was OBJECTIVELY better. but I did like basically everything better.
Cute Quinn
lord knows I like some questionable shit
Cute Quinn
so who am I to judge
Don't 4get DL-6
Tales of Innocence > Tales of Vesperia is also a good candidate
yousoro!
MGS1 is a perfectly playable game but MGS2 really refined a lot of the gameplay elements
the grink
Don't 4get DL-6
: I mean, Abyss > Vesperia is less marked so it's arguably a jump in quality due to refining systems as it is a jump in quality due to going from DS to PS3/XBox
