A couple of Bombcasts ago the crew were discussing how we've been seeing a lot of 3's in our game titles in the latter parts of this console cycle. Games like Uncharted 3, Killzone 3, Modern Warfare 3, Mass Effect 3, Assassin's Creed 3 and Crysis 3 have not received the same kind of praise as their influential predecessors.
This left me wondering if there is a sort of curse behind the second sequel. Can you duders think of any trilogies or game series where the third game is undoubtedly better than the first two?
The only two recent examples of "Great 3's" that come to my mind are Saints Row: The Third and Far Cry 3, but these games are not really a part of an ongoing story line.
