Sequels are so commonplace in video games, it's a little surprising when a well-received game DOESN'T get a sequel. Surprising, and often frustrating. Here are 5 games that we really want more of.

I never really thought about it before but yeah, I DO want a vagrant story 2!!!
Or at least would have during the ps2 era. Fuck modern square though. I dont hate them, I just dont trust them to make great games anymore.

Super Mario RPG is a dumb suggestion (sorry to my fellow Seven Stars fans). That game got not one but two competent RPG spinoffs in the form of Paper Mario franchise and M&L franchise.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Does Super Mario RPG count? I mean there's Paper Mario and M&L.
Personally, Chrono Cross deserves a sequel.

I can create a better list than that:
Virtua Fighter 5
Jet Moto 3
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn
Sleeping Dogs
Skies of Arcadia

Always wanted a sequel to Advent Rising on OG Xbox, but I think I might've heard somewhere that it was like, scientology propaganda or some shit?

I was devastated when they downgraded from 4-player to 2-player co-op.

You know what else needs a sequel?

I guess since they weren’t direct sequels? And saying the 2nd episode of episodic dlc to a sequel itself should disqualify HL2: Ep2.
How about Shadow of the Colossus? Or even Legend ofDragoon?

I wonder if there are more than 20 people on the planet who remember Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends.

Loved that game. Let's throw Buzz into the mix, too. PS3 one was rubbish but they were some of my favourite PS2 games.

Powerslide (sequel was in development, but Ratbag couldn't find a publisher before they got shanked by Midway)
Bloodborne (why not)
Mirror's Edge (Catalyst is a prequel. And it's horrible)
Alien Isolation (search your feelings...)
...and yes, Half-Life 2 (a full sequel)

You think? I thought it was pretty good, a lot like the first game albeit with a pretty empty open world that wasn't taken advantage of too well.

Deathrow?
Breakdown?
Brute force?
Kingdom under fire?

Or even Chrono Trigger. Chrono Cross was such a loose sequel in my opinion.
Mario RPG counts I think cause it was a collaboration between Square and Nintendo. I want to see Mario jump on Sephiroth's head.

- Einhandler... yeah, would be nice to have one
- Vagrant Story YES! But maybe a remake first because PSX doesn't hold well
- There's a lot of RPGs with Mario, so there's a lot of sequels and therefore not need for this to be included
- Jade Empire... the game is kinda nice, but not great. Should have a remake to people to know it and to fix some stuff, like the pacing
- Not a single company can do justice for a Half Life 2 sequel anymore. It's too late
