Hell, even back in the 80's, my father told me that there were going to be 9 Star Wars movies, so I don't think calling it Episode IV was exactly tacked on.
It absolutely was.

When Star Wars first launched in 1977, it was just "Star Wars". It did not have the tagline "Episode IV: A New Hope" in the opening crawl, which was added for home media releases. Lucas waffled on exactly how many movies there would be, sometimes going as high as 12, but nine seemed to be the number he settled on after a while (before later claiming that it was always intended to be a six movie series). His early drafts of the story notably all start with *somewhat* similar premises to A New Hope, not anything resembling The Phantom Menace, albeit with some changes (the Death Star didn't originally show up until later in the film, and Alderaan was originally a "Sith Prison Planet" where Leia was being held).

Resident Evil 2/4
Assassin's Creed 2
Final Fantasy 6/7/9
Arkham City
Mass Effect 2

This is just a small, and quickly thought out, conclusion to how wrong you are.
I missed the part where you explain how Resident Evil 1/3, Assassin's Creed 1, Arkham Asylum and Mass Effect 1 didn't eff up.

I also don't know what the FFs are even doing in this list, lol.

Dislike: console wars, haters, trolls, review-bombing
Two ways to (artistically) justify a sequel.

You are telling a story with a scope/timeline too long for one film.

The original was made under constraints (time, budget, studio interference, etc.), and you get a chance to properly realise the concept.

Otherwise, it's just business.

I wonder why I left those first games out of a discussion about sequels.

Final Fantasy IV The After Years. It came out so much later that I just don't feel it. Sakaguchi had nothing to do with it. It's just unnecessary.

I would also say Tales of Symphonia 2
The sequel to Clair Obscur that will no doubt be made.

Even the intro to 3 is pretty much an unashamed confession that there was no story left to continue.

Reloaded

Felt like a game that was slapped together to cash in on the wave of success from the first game.

That's crazy. 2 is as good as the first, just for different reasons.

2 was at least sorta setup with the ending of 1.
It was originally meant as just a fun ending. "To be continued" was put in after the studio said they wanted a sequel.

Yeah. Episode IV was saved by his ex-wife in the editing room, but for some reason that story goes untold most of the time.

Episode V was successful due to hiring a fantastic director. Episode VI is where GL starts taking back more control and that's when you start to see things slip. Fast forward to 1999 and now he's fully in the driver's seat and yiiiiiiikes.

Id say the second too because it is kind of ass, but it technically does cover part of the book so

The Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy is without question one of the most solid franchises there is. And if you want to talk shit about any movie after that by all means but if you think 2 or 3 arent fantastic movies I just feel sorry for you.

I will freely admit that Toy Story 4 is a great movie.
But 3 was the best ending to any franchise ever and they ruined that.

All of those Pitch Black Riddick things. The original isnt even great, its just a cool yet flawed action flick. Then they tried making a franchise out of no real lore.

Get outta here, Halloween 3 is great and I wish they had stuck with the anthology plan for the franchise instead of just beating Michael Myers to death for a billion sequels.
