It is kinda hard to call yourself a sequel when you're basically the same exact game and literally the original game doesn't even exist anymore.
I do not like that I paid for Overwatch 1 but now only have Overwatch 2.
The developers who made Terraria contemplated on a Terraria 2 and they were faced with the decision; continue developing Terraria as is or just try to make a Terraria 2.
Seems like they've instinctively chosen to keep supporting Terraria as is, because what can you do with a Terraria 2? When so many ideas and creations have been poured into one game? It sounded like Terraria 2 was going to be the same.
Well... They did try to make Terraria Otherworld, but that game got cancelled and they fell back into supporting Terraria because it keeps printing money.
What if someone made the hytale of terraria?
I mean, there's already Starbound...
Counter-Strike would like a word.
You can still play the old counterstrike games
But not Global Offensive.
Global Offensive is still playable (at least the core gameplay) in the csgo_legacy branch of CS2 on Steam.
I don't like CS2 either; but Global Offensive had already killed CS for me long before it was converted to CS2.
In their defense, counter strike 1.5 and 1.6 existed. Condition zero as 1.7, source as 1.8, GO as 1.9 and now we are finally at two. 🤷♂️
Also, updating to the Source 2 engine, yea?
You can still play the og and cs source???
Thousands still play
You can play 1.5, 1.6, Conditon Zero, and Source.
You can't play Global Offensive anymore, afaik. It did the same thing OW2 did, getting replaced entirely by CS2.
I believe CS:GO is still available through a beta branch of CS:2 but that the remaining custom servers are mostly empty.
