If there’s one thing that any gamer hates, it’s seeing a video game that they love given a terrible sequel. Not only does it mean that you have to wait an extra amount of time to get a worthy successor to your favorite game, but in some cases, you might just find that this terrible sequel means that you will never see another sequel ever again.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...
5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.
But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
Other nominees include games like SimCity & Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
There are some good nominees in this list that are deserving to be inducted also, but I feel Metroid has had the most impact on the industry out of all of these. Look how Metroid influenced the evolution of the Castlevania games, and the "Metroidvania" subgenre of games have become a prevailing force in gaming today. Especially now, Metroidvanias are bigger than ever.
I can very much see Resident Evil being added later too, bc it really did popularize and define the survival horror genre. I would say that one is next in line.
If any Metroid game should get the honor it should be Super Metroid , it's perfection in my eyes . 30 years later and I still feel it's the most epic shit ever .
The GBA remake deserves it or Super Metroid, the original was a very sloppy and rushed game programmed in 3 months and it shows.
If you've never played the remake, it's absolutely a must play, fixes basically every flaw in the game. Check out ExoParadigmGamer's comparison video.
Nintendo has used March 10 (aka MAR10 Day) to make a number of Mario related announcements, including an update on Super Mario Bros Movie 2.
I don't know why I click on these list articles and expect anything in depth. This would have been a lot more interesting if the person who wrote it spent more than five sentences talking about each game. Especially DMC2, FF13, and Other M, because there's a lot to talk about there. I will give them credit for going against current shitty "journalism" trends and keeping the whole list on one page, instead of splitting it up into two or, even worse, putting each game on its own page, though.
I have really enjoyed Metroid other M despite some of its problems
Crackdown 2!
I liked DMC2, don't remember much about it other than cheesing the final boss but it was a solid sequel. FF13 was crap.
Megaman x7 was an unplayable mess when i played it when it came out. 3rd birthday aka parasite eve 3's story was atrocious and technically aya brea only cameos in that game. Every silent hill after 4. Onimusha 3 tried to go Hollywood and put in time travel. Dino Crisis 3 with Dinos in space. My personal list.
