Is There a point on playing inferior prequels?

why do people keep saying "prequel" in this thread?

Good question. It isn't being used in the proper sense.

It's very hard for me to do this especially with games that fall in the range of 32-bit to Xbox range. For instance fatal frame 2 still plays nicely, but I popped in the original fatal frame and was like ugh, this has not aged well. I really don't want to play the first one.

I felt weird typing it, but that's what OP had referred to them as. I thought I had put in quotes, but I guess not...

Why ? whats wrong with prequel ?

A prequel is a work that was made after the original, but in canon takes place before the original work.

Star Wars episodes 1-3 are prequels to Star Wars Episode 4. Star Wars Episode 4 is NOT a prequel to The Empire Strikes back, because it was made before that film.

You could use predecessor.

You could use predecessor.

Yeah predecessor would have been the proper term, as in: "Is there a point in playing an inferior predecessor in a series?"

I always thought that prequel and sequel are relative to the worked described.

So Die Hard 2 is prequel to 3 and 4 is sequel to 3 , as long as the time-line moves forward in the story line

my mistake , predecessor seems right
