Message: [QUOTE="MasterEn, post: 271444, member: 3287"] i'd say the reason that asylum seems like a better game in general might be due to the smaller scale of the overall area. with everything being more tightly packed together in one area, everything feels more connected. city has a much, much larger area so everything feels more disconnected, like each area is it's own self contained mini-game, so to speak. an example of this is poison ivy. she makes a brief appearance at the beginning of asylum and over the course of the game, her plants start to take over the place, slowly and subtly growing her presence as a threat. she's not intentionally interfering with the player and batman, but you see that she is a threat of some sort. in city, i don't recall her even appearing once if you don't have the catwoman dlc. she helps catwoman who helps batman later, but unless you knew that, she's barely in the game. there are more examples of the different characters having different affects on the story and gameplay between the two games. the main point is that the scale of the game affects that a lot. bigger doesn't always mean better. breath of the wild/tears of the kingdom is proof of that. super mario galaxy 2 is dlc for galaxy 1. it's just more stuff that couldn't fit onto the first game's disc; which is why people like it, but aren't super ecstatic about it. as for your question; i think the only game that i played where the first game did something better than the sequel is the dot hack quadrilogy and the sequel trilogy. in the first game, you had magic users who could naturally use healing and attack spells as long as they had the equipment. in the trilogy, you have one white mage for 98% of 3 discs who naturally learns healing spells. the other magic users have to have high weapon levels to learn basic healing spells and other characters can learn healing spells from items sold at shops. not all of the spells are available at the shops, but a good amount are. you can't really pick the characters that you want to use without taking that in consideration.
