The sequel is actually a prequel

>the sequel is actually a prequel

This fucking sucks for games and movies. Just fuck prequels.

>game is a prequel
>doesn't go back far enough
Looking at you, Fire Emblem series. PLEASE just make a game with the legendary 8 heroes who killed the initial dark force.

>Prequel
>In universe Tech is leagues ahead of the first game

>prequel
>adds literally nothing to the overall series

Lufia

Did it well too

name 4 games that does that

>the sequel is actually a prequel
>the new prequel fucks sequel lore

You wanna talk about prequels?

>tfw we NEVER get a 1999 Castlevania game
>I have no face

Don't worry user! My dad who works at Intelligent Systems told me that it's well into development and will feature more fleshed out dating sim elements as well as amiibo support for all current figures.

Only way to fix Halo 5 at this point...

In recent memory this pissed me off about Darksiders II. Or rather that it was concurrent

>the sequel is a prequel
>the main party in the prequel are all the main villains in the sequel that you killed
it still hurts

>Castlevania

It's as forgotten as moot

G/S/C are technically prequels
Symphonia is a prequel to Phantasia
SMW 2 Yoshi Island is a prequel
Ocarina is a prequel to A link to the past and altp was a prequel to the original Zelda 1 and 2.

>the changes in gameplay are so drastic between each title that it's jarring to play them in chronological order

Deus ex HR, MD, and it's upcoming two squeals in the MD trilogy

MGSV so much

> the sequel is both a prequel AND a sequel

MGS3 has the best storyline in history, and it's a prequel.

>The sequel is a sequel and a prequel

Kocoum moar liek KEKoum

>First game is a prequel
>Second game is a sequel

>mechanical augs are more advanced than nanobots
Some of the abilities are more advanced but that's 100% do to tech restraints of the original

>spin off game is just a retelling of the original game with a different character in a what if scenario
>full price

>judging videogames by their story
Read books, kids. Games are for gameplay.

A first game can't be a prequel

it can if there's a sequel

prequel to the book/movie the game is based on

it can be cool

That's just the typical way of telling a series of stories, you don't call the first of a series the prequel.

Anyone that plays console games for gameplay is a complete retard and should commit suicide.

by definition the first game would be the prequel to the second game

>First game ends on a cliffhanger
>Second game is a prequel

Darksiders lost me so hard with this.

The very definition of prequel mentions that there must be an existing body of work that is being "prequelized" for it to be a prequel. The entire term is a spin of sequel which is the continuation of a story, but instead is a continuation that starts earlier in the story. It's not a base name for the first story of something, there had to be something else released beforehand.

Skyward Sword

but after the sequel comes out, an existing piece of work exists

so its a prequel

>Sequel doesn't acknowledge the first game at all

Fine, I give up. I'm just gonna be repeating myself and waste both our times. I'm backing out, you have a good night.

>G/S/C are technically prequels
how?

>have a good night
you too, user. i hope the sequel to it is good as well.

>the sequel's twist was that it was actually a prequel all along

>Sequel is based off the worst end

>first game is a groundbreaking game
>sequel is a good balance between acknowledging the first game and going in its own direction
>later games ride too hard on the first game's dick

>First game is mediocre, story is decent
>Sequel improves on everything the first had and then some, on top of having an amazing story
>Third game is absolute trash

>sequel doesn't have any tie into the first game until the last minute of the game

Arkham Origins

>sequel is a prequel that tells a story meant to be left to your imagination
>the game is less impressive than the story

>game is read from back to front and right to left

>Sequel is so bad that the developers call it a spinoff

Mgs

So Half Life, Megaman Legends, Bioshock, and Sonic Adventure?

>Sequel is a reboot

>reboot is a prequel
NOT IN A MILLION YEARS

>Half Life
>Sonic Adventure
>3rd game

are you memeing?

Don't forget Megaman legends!

>sequel is a prequel to a game that was only released in Japan
>title is non-indicative of what game in the series it actually is

>Sonic Adventure
>First game is mediocre
>Sequel improves on everything the first had and then some
>Third game

something troubling you?

Yes
that opinion

no need to get bruised,
you've just been rused!

>Sequel changes the ending of the first game

>Sequel is based on all the possible endings

>do to
Get outta here

>Breath of the Wild
Just you wait and see.
