has any game series had as big of a jump in gameplay quality as Mass Effect 1 to Mass Effect 2
LOVE & PEATH
Metroid 2 to Super Metroid?
xyzzy
oh that's a good one
xyzzy
Metroid 2 is borderline unplayable
xyzzy
and SM is one of the best games of all time

I don't know if I can count Zelda 1 to LTTP because there technically WAS a game between them
xyzzy
on the other hand, Zelda 2 to LTTP
LOVE & PEATH
honestly
LOVE & PEATH
the first two Zeldas hold up a lot better than the first two Metroids

Zelda 2, like Castlevania 2, has aged incredibly well but what aged was hugely divisive from the getgo
LOVE & PEATH
but in Metroid 1 you need an upgrade to be able to fight enemies that are shorter than you

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.
Dangerous Chair
I don't say that ME1 was OBJECTIVELY better. but I did like basically everything better.

lord knows I like some questionable shit
xyzzy
so who am I to judge
連続犬
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

連続犬
: 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
