>The third game comes out

Fucking Dark Souls is way more popular than Demons Souls despite just being a derivative unoriginal shitshow and its purely because of pc plebs who couldnt afford a ps3.

I've wondered if this was ever true for games like Dead Space 2 or RE2.

If so it would make sense. The second installment tends to improve upon the original formula which worked in the first place.

Not sure if it's the more popular, but it's generally regarded as the best of the original trilogy
I still prefer TDP at times

I can understand preferring the originals, but how are those games worse in every conceivable way? You seriously don't even think the combat is better in Automata?

>>388697218
Nah I honestly think the combat in automata is worse. There's more room for creativity, but it doesn't matter because the game never requires you to actually learn the combat. By giving the player access to 99 healing resources (and a broken parry and dodge), the combat becomes completely devoid of any difficulty and is essentially just a chore. In the second playthrough I just ran past all of the enemies because I was solely playing to see the story through. You might be able to make the combat enjoyable if you impose a bunch of rules on yourself (I won't buy healing items, I won't equip OP chips etc), but I don't think that you should have to do that in order for a game to be fun.
