I still boot up reach every so often to play the last mission.

Yakuza 4 did it well.

You fight Kazuma as Sajemia in chapter 2 and he is brutal as fuck

and then later on you play as Kazuma and fight the other two player characters in a 2v1 fight and there is a QTE where you manhandle both of them at once

>edgy duel against a guy with a katana

>>386893212
I wonder why don't more games do this. Everyone loves this shit or 'previous protagonist is now the villain' trope

>game makes you feel like a tough to kill, worn down action movie hero, barely scrapping by but still managing against all odds

>main character of the first game is the final boss of the sequel

The ONLY time I didn't love this was Protoype 2, because Alex felt like a completely different character anyway.

Because it didn't work well for MGS2

>>386895317

MGS2 pulled a bait and switch. If they were up front about playing as a different character, people would have liked it a lot more.

Only time it works well is with series that change the protagonist up with every installment

DMC4 was also hated because you didn't play as Dante at all times

>>386895497
and made the new player character better

>>386893303
this excludes FEAR3

>weak as shit party member you get early on
>they gradually get better the longer you stick with them

>MC can become so OP the game acknowledge you're fucking invincible

>sequel's MC is an entirely new guy instead of being the first game's MC 2.0

I love when there's some side character that is apparently so strong they don't actually care about the bad guy's evil plot to destroy the world.

>game has multiple storylines which occasionally intersect.
RE6 was kinda shit outside of Mercenaries mode, but I liked that part.

>>386893212
the only good part of drakenguard 2 was the handful of scenes where caim shows up dunks on everyone

>You can play as the villain after you finish the game

>>386893212
Didn't Golden Sun do this?

>insignificant boss in the first game becomes important plot point in the sequels
