The 5 sequels that everyone puts to give birth, but that you should play because they are very good

Everyone says that second parts were never good . There are times when you are right; others, in which the original work is even improved. In general, when a work marks for various reasons, the emotional component comes into play; What comes later only usually clarifies the formula, and does not usually arrive groundbreaking sequels, with exceptions in games like The Last of Us 2 or Metal Gear Solid 2.

• Mass Effect Andromeda
• Resident Evil 5
• Dark Souls 2
• Batman: Arkham Origins
• Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

So, in general, there are many sequelae-that can be second, third or quarters-who people hate for various reasons . A current that, on many of those occasions, is rightly. But, others, in which there are not as many reasons to throw pests on those games in particular.

And as we always like a good debate, we are going to collect some of those sequels that are hated by a good part of the public, but that are not really bad. You will probably want to throw the bonfire for some decisions, but we have come to play.

Mass Effect Andromeda

In this lot we could have chosen Mass Effect 3, but what happened with the end of the trilogy is somewhat more unforgivable than related to Mass Effect Andromeda. From Bioware they wanted to restart the brand with new characters , crew members but the evergreen essence. It is clear that they did not have the charism of Shepard and company, but yes they had mimbres to be up to have continued . Somehow, people fiercely criticized the game without too much sense, and the plans to make another new triplet of titles stayed in the drawer of oblivion forever. Because now the Canadian study is working to bring back part of the original entourage.

Resident Evil 5

I am one of those who prefer classic Resident Evil, but it is undeniable that RE4 was a revolution for the sector, although it has been overvalued so much that we now have a treasured remake. Without being the eighth wonder, it is true, but its continuation, Resident Evil 5, it is not as bad as people make us believe . The possibility of playing in cooperative was added, something that was a very interesting incentive. It is true that he has a bit ugly things, such as the issue of African infected and a strange wesker. But he left very much behind him, like that of Chris Redfield, shining to a giant rock . Of Resident Evil 6 I prefer not to comment, because I bleed my eyes just to remember it.

Dark Souls 2

It is worth that Hidetaka Miyazaki was not involved in development , but from there everyone repudiates it, there is a stretch. Although there is always a lot of polarity with everything that does Fromsoftware. It is worthwhile in level design to defend, But, damn it, everything else is still Dark Souls . Its setting and architectural finish is superb. It is able to transmit the sensations of the rest of the saga, such as that adrenaline when ending a Boss that has had us retained for hours. Anyway, sometimes you exaggerate too much.

Batman: Arkham Origins

I will not get tired of repeating that it seems to me the best Batman game with Asylum. But, one way or another, people hate Arkham Origins . Moreover, everything begins with the bullying that Rocksteady itself does to the game, ignoring it with compilations, even though they were not cut from taking elements that later made canonical. The development was responsible for Warner Bros. Montreal, who treated the history of the dark gentleman, being probably the most faithful and passionate work , with spectacular fighting against Bosses that we have seen little in the rest of the saga games. A living comic that is a love letter for fans of the character created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

There are several games of the Metal Gear Solid saga that could have entered , but I want to stay with MGS4. Mainly because it is the one that less positive things are taken out. MGS2 has earned respect over the years for being brutally advanced to its time, and MGSV defends itself by its excellent gameplay. But with the fourth installment, with Snake's requiem, there is not so much compassion . Actually, it is a tribute to all fans of the saga, culminated with the visit to Shadow Moses and a final stretch full of emotions, with a fist fight against Ocelot. That, and a script turn that leaves us crazy. It is true that it gloats in too extensive kinematic scenes, but it is a great game.
