People seem to think Assassin's Creed II was, and I agree in terms of gameplay.

Wrong.

Wrong.

Crash 3 and Gen 1 will always be the best for both of these.

Infamous 2

Undisputable. Best story, best powers, best sidequests, and an extensive mission/level editor. Second Son was so disappointing. :/

I don't know yo Crash 2 had incredible levels and was more rooted in what it's all really about. Great layout with the level hubs and shit. The corridors where you start and end look cooler. It just is better. 3 is fun as hell and I like it almost like I like 2 but it's just not 2

Nah, I saw that, but people will probably come in and agree with your point anyway even if you were joking. Gen 1 is always gonna be best though.

Speaking of Infamous, is the writing in Second Son at least half as good as the first two? I know it was never amazing but it definitely was surprisingly good.

Second Son was so disappointing. :/

It felt rushed and incomplete like it was initially supposed to be a PS4 launch title but then they delayed it and months later when they still weren't done Sony just told them send it out as is. DMC4 style

That's essentially what it felt like, yeah. There weren't even many "choose your path" choices in the main missions either...think there were like three? Way too little, and the game was so short. The choices didn't even affect the story except for the final one, which is near the end anyway.

I don't remember much of it, tbh. All I remember is that the main character isn't even half as likable as Cole was in 2.

Most improved, definitely. But not the best in the series. At a minimum, games like SF2:T / SF2:CE and / SSF2 are better, and then you can make arguments for whether or not SF3 / SF4 / SF5 is better.

SF2 has been pretty much superseded by SFA3 anyway.

lol so "complicated playing" totally played a factor as to why it was the best selling gamecube game and why it had such a large casual playerbase

Only a problem among people who take the game too seriously.

If you're a casual player you never encounter any glitches.

I only rented Melee and played it a few times at a friend's house. But I don't seem to remember what exactly made it more complex and competitive.

I dunno, when they started introducing all these meters and supers and things, I just lost interest. I'm not saying these are bad things, they elevated the genre. But for me, SF2 was best.
