Super niche question I know, but here we are.
I’ve had a long held opinion that…
Battlefield: Bad Company is a significantly better game than it’s larger, more popular and more multiplayer focused sequel.
Now don’t get me wrong, BC2 is a fine entry into the series, but with its growth into a more online focused space, it lost an awful lot of what made that first game so special; namely the fantastic story and unique campaign built around four loveable rogues.
I think Bad Company 2 has a campaign, but it’s not nearly as memorable as the OG campaign. And whilst the push for multiplayer obviously made sense from a financial perspective, it turned the series back into just another entry into the wider BF universe.
What about you?
Mass effect 1.
It’s got jank but it also set up everything to come.
Combat secondary to world writing. Second game to me focuses more on character which is wonderful in its own right, but I personally love the world building more.
Before things got over explained in me2 and 3. Love both those games don’t get me wrong but 1 will always be my favorite.
