- Resident Evil 4
- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
- Street Fighter II

I do prefer the older Resident Evil games, but no doubt the changes made the games more successful overall.

I guess I'll give you RE4 because that did change the series a lot, but there's a series that went a bridge too far trying to change things up lately. Also has a lot of terrible entries in the series as a whole.

Other two examples are ancient. Could you give me something from this generation at least? Not games that came out when I was llike 1 and 6.

I think your second point is more a problem with the gaming industry than anything else.

I think it has to do with how they reuse game engines these day, it saves a ton of money, but it makes things more samey as opposed to when they used to have to build everything from scratch.

I really don't find that to be a bad thing, though...

Obviously there's situations where a game is too similar to a predecessor, such as Call of Duty, but I really don't think Infinite fits that mold. Some of the mechanics are the same, yes, but why fix what isn't broken? They used their resources to build a new game world, a new setting, new characters and story, etc. Just Elizabeth alone was a great improvement to the series IMO.

Never played it. All I know is some guy goes to save his little sister?

I agree it might be to hard on Infinite to say that. It certainly isn't one of the worse offenders, but when even the best of gaming can be called into question that way, things ain't great.

I've been meaning to finish torrenting Bioshock 2 and Infinite, I hear nothing but good things about Infinite. Not so many good things about Bioshock 2, but I loved Bioshock 1 and someone said it'd be wise to play Bioshock 2 or else I wouldn't understand Infinite's ending.

Finished it, amazing game. I actually get the ending haha.

Whoever said that is a fucking moron. BioShock 2 is not necessary. Fun gameplay but no story to speak of.

my bf wont stop playin this
