@DresdenLancer@ALMIGHTYOFA TLoU, Ghost and Witcher are sequels yeah, but Lost Legacy and new GoW are spin offs still, just because they are canonical doesn't mean they aren't.
They're both treated as side games focused on different characters then the core series
@WanderingManga@squirtleace Easier overall, you can choose between having lives or not, wider camera makes for less cheap deaths, 100% isn't a requirement for the ending and some other smaller stuff like being able to buy an electoon cage radar.
There is also an extra harder mode tho
@Son_of_Sparda2@TheXikipeke There's at least 1 game with a extra playable character but I don't think there's one with no Lara/one where she's not the primary focus
@PersonthePerso2 Not really? Despite being numbered sequels the trilogy really doesn't share much in terms of story or gameplay outside some basic stuff like "A character exists", unless the goal was to make a much more direct sequel to either 2 or 3 then a general I don't think it would matter
@Otsutsuki_khan@Seboumboy Yeah, the issue is always if it's written good and not the exact identity of the character, if the new GoW sucks it's gonna be because it's badly written, not because you play as a side character that happens to be female like that guy said
@Otsutsuki_khan@Seboumboy I don't see why that would matter but alright, different example
Half of Halo 2 is about playing as the Arbiter, he even gets dibs on the opening cutscene and final level of the game, you could absolutely make a game centered around him (Hell I would say Halo 2 already is mostly)
@Unfath0m4ble@SockTalking Maybe, but considering how rough some of the animations like the guys popping out in the first jump section are, I think it's fair to say it's not done yet
@savianisagayboy@Chuumother If I recall right, it's not that they curse people, but that if they die then then a new wendigo with their spirit can be made, that's why the Hunter was keeping wendigos trapped in cells
@SockTalking They have serviceable stories, Origins has a hook of Land of the Livid Dead and suddenly drops in the Magician and tech stuff at the end
Legends is mega formulaic with the same structure repeated 5 times in a row with no real ending. At least some connective tissue would be nice
