Why are sequals mostly bad?

Question

like lets take the zelda series. ocarina of time was a master piece but after majora's mask it just got crappy. it lost its toughess now. windwaker and tp were just too easy. you would think that developers would learn from what they succeeded at. also a game like mario has been consistantly gone down hill. shouldn't nintendo go on to different ideas instead of focusing on sequals. now i'm not saying that they should throw out these great franchises right out the window, but they need new and exciting ideas to draw in more gamers to widen the audience. like take zelda, tp was pretty much ocarina with a fresh coat of paint. if they would take the game some where like make it more of a hack and slash type game, newer better weapons.

but then some games like metal gear solid only get better such as the resenent title MGS 4 which was a breakthrough in gaming. but this could be the same with the FFantasy series. now i have high hopes for XIII but the games have been consistantly getting worse. now i have enjoyed every FF i've played but if you compare XII to VII, XII is complete bull sh+t

Answer 1

well that's your own opinion, i for one like twilight princess and wind waker better, but that's my opinion. oh and the time you said i was stupid because i said twilight has more graphics than ocarina...you proved my point. ocarina was made in 1998, explaining the bad graphics... and mario gone down hill? your wrong there buddy. mario galaxy has made a big break through when it was released. and your very wrong there...twilight princess has many things that ocarina of time doesnt have. battle tactics, options to turn into a wolf, a new uniform, and wider map. i find twilight princess way different from ocarina. anyways...no, its just a persons opinion. someone can like zelda majoras mask more than ocarina.

Answer 2

it's not that the sequels are bad, it's that the Wii is bad.

Answer 3

because original games are supposed to be ground breaking, while sequels are just for profit, and ride out the original's popularity

Answer 4

its funny because when you said Zelda games you never said twilight princess and Mario going down hills???have ever heard of Mario Galaxy?and when they made Zelda twilight princess they also put new weapons as well in Mario Galaxy!

And if you ask me I thin MGS4 is the same thing only with better graphics and you do the same thing but the difference is you play as an Old man!

Answer 5

because they just are

Answer 6

what hold your tongue on that part cause there was no way majoras mask was crappy they did it right. do you not notice the ratings these game get they all get Great PRAISE and reviews because Nintendo is so creative - I cant belive you would underratd zelda that way

there one thing thats makes the zelda series so special and that is with each every game they did, they introduced some thing new and unique BUT Nintendo did it right and so far noo other game has done that and thats why the zelda series is the best game series ever game like final fantasy came close to doing it but they kept s******g up with endless stories and mash ups of gameplay. and the thing is Nintendo isnt about being difficult its about enjoying the game and I enjoyed all of the 4 Zelda games ive beaten so far. they're best i dont know what your saying because from what ive heard Metal Gear solid never had a good start to begin with and now its finally got a good game when it just ENDED just because its got good graphics when i heard the review on that thats all they talked about was graphics what about the story . SO what does that tell you

Answer 7

Now even though I don't own a Wii, I think the Legend of Zelda games are pretty good. And Super Mario Galaxy was pretty original.

Maybe this has something to do with the fact that I only played Twilight Princess, but it was enjoyable.

Actually Rob, they added a lot of new stuff in MGS4 that wasn't in previous games, like the Octocamo Suit ( you had to switch from camo to camo in MGS3), Weapons Customizations ( you can add flashlights, laser sights, grenade launchers, to your gun) etc.
