RE2 and RE3 are close, but RE3 gets the edge because of the atmosphere, live choice system, raccoon city and Nemesis. JFL at the other two comparisons.

You forgot Tekken 3. Although there's been so many sequels you could argue it could be surpassed, but it was the best of the playstation trilogy and huge leap forward.

Yeah there's tons more examples. Mortal Kombat 3 was the best of the early games as well.

Not always...



Exceptions to the rule, OP

Dragon Age Inq. (better than 2, but the OG is still best)
Mass Effect 3
Max Payne 3 (OG is the best)
Bioshock Infinite (again, OG version was just stronger)
Borderlands Pre-Sequel
Batman Arkham Origins (first two were stronger)
Gears of War 3 (I was say that Gears 2 was the best story and 4 the best MP)
RE 2 trumps RE 3 (in terms of origional 90s versions)
Cook the man some eggs!

I only disagree with it being RE4>RE3 and Windwaker being #1.

But you're on to something:
Halo 3
Far Cry 3
Metal Gear Solid 3
Fallout 3
Skate 3
Red Dead Redemption 2(because it's technically the 3rd in the series)
Always Picks 4 Crew
Golf Crew
Oakland Raiders Crew
Joe Rogan Crew

Those 3 movies were made at the same time. All filmed simultaneously over 14 months. The editing was done in order for obvious reasons of release dates.



Not a big gamer, but...
Halo 3
Arkham Origins
