The creators of Fallout soad it was a sucessor to Wasteland, so it must be part of the same series, right? RIGHT?"The phrase 'Total Annihilation' doesn't show up in the title to Supreme Commander, therefore it can't possibly be in the same series!," especially when the guy who runs GPG has already stated that he intends Supreme Commander to be a successor to TA, remind me again who is the sophisticate and who is the simpleton?
I guess all roguelikes are part of the same series, too, seing how they all share the same core mechanics. Oh wait, they're not, they're all part of the same genre, a concept you can't seem to grasp.
Let's put it another way: There's a bunch of fantasy novels that completely rip off Tolkien's style, writing, plot, everything. So you would say that generic fantasy novel X is part of the LotR series? NO.
CoD 2 is the sequel to Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault! Oh my, it's all so clear now!
NO THEY'RE NOT. They are different brands! They have different creators, owners, copyrights, publishers EVERYTHING.First of all, I disagree, but even by that argument Dune 2 is part of the C&C franchise and BioShock is part of the System Shock series.
You're confusing "series" with "genre". By your definition, System Shock is the sequel to Ultima Underworld! Same engine, same basic gameplay, only difference is a few differences! Wow, it's all so clear now! And Deus Ex is the sequel to System Shock! They're all part of the "first person sneaker" series! Oh wait, no, that's a motherfucking genre.
Btw, what the fuck is up with you and the "Codex Hivemind?"Or are you just trying to emulate the Codex Hive Mind, with typically dismal results, as has always been the case with TC?
