Video game sequels are a tricky thing. Sometimes they turn out better than the original like Mass Effect 2 and other times we get an abomination like Fallout 76. Either way, creating a sequel comes with it's fair share of problems, and we're going to discuss them all!

  • @ahzhd423
    Will we ever get a “the problem with sequels 2”?
  • @zsueti1781
    bruh the game "chess" literally survived years without a terrible sequel, congrats to them 🙏🙏🙏
  • I’m surprised you didn’t mention Devil May Cry. That’s a rocky sequel history. 1 was… different. 2 was a dumpster fire. 3 was godlike. 4 was controversial. And 5 was a beautiful return to form. Oh. And I guess DMC was… okay…
  • @shadywolf9724
    An actually good game sequel: Titanfall 2 (It's been two years, you don't have to argue with it lmao)
  • "Why does Mario Party have so many sequels?" Square Enix fans: nervous laughter
  • @alwaysinbtwn
    Honestly, bioshock 2 is probably one of my favorite games of all time, I liked the 1st one and most people I think hold that one in higher regards, but idk something about the 2nd for me had this irreplaceable sadness and vibe. Beat the whole game only using the drill on one play through lmao.
  • Conker's Bad Fur day was waaaay ahead of it's time. Such fond memories playing that game. The versus mode with the axes and allies (squirrels and teddy bears) was sooo much fun.

    "Mario party has the most numerical entries." Final Fantasy: nervous sweating
  • @baboogah
    I mean I thought Black ops 3’s story made complete sense, here’s a summary: Train goes boom
  • Dead Space 2 is an amazing sequel Spiderman 2 was an awesome sequel Halo 3 was one of the best sequels ever made

    “How many possible sequels can you make on the same game with the same rule book?” COD:*nervous sweating*

    Angels in Bible 1: "prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrpupupupprprrrrrrrrprprprprrprprprprprp" Angels in Bible 2: " I am the servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the Flame of Anor… The dark fire will not avail you! Flame of Udûn!"

    I thought Call of Duty games were never about continuing the story of the previous one I thought every Call of Duty game was an isolated story. I had no idea that Black Ops 2 even continue the story of Black Ops 1 I thought it was its own story
  • @hausy
    Man the second I hear the map theme from ME2 I’m immediately hit by a tsunami of nostalgia. What a great game.
  • The problem with not making “Why is Fallout:New Vegas is so amazing?” The problem is we’ve been waiting

    Hey man, hearing all these old soundtracks from my childhood while you were explaining everything brought me to tears. Thanks for that and the message.
