History WebVideo / Sequelitis

* {{Sequelitis}}: In-universe, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin duh.]] However, despite being addressed when present, it is not the core point of the series, as it rather relies on the stark contrast between a game and its sequel instead.

-->''"So instantly, this becomes farming, and instantly, this becomes pointless and dumb!"''

--> The fuck am I doin' with my life. I'm giving a scathing criticism of ''Ocarina of time''. I'm gunna get ''[=CRUcified=]''!!

* SacredCow: Parodied.

* ShoutOut: Egoraptor gives one to the AngryVideoGameNerd in his ''Castlevania'' Vs. ''Simon's Quest'' video, acknowledging the game had already been reviewd by another popular Youtube persona.

* DevelopmentHell: The fourth episode (announced to be about TheLegendOfZelda, specifically ALinkToThePast vs OcarinaOfTime) has been in development now for over 2 years.

* ScheduleSlip: There's been a huge rift between his Mega Man and Legend of Zelda episodes, as the latter has gone through over a dozen different scripts to make sure he says exactly what he's trying to say. He also wants to wait until JonTron's video on the subject is finished so they can be released at about the same time.

* NoIndoorVoice: Egoraptor has a tendency to '''START YELLING''' at random.

* CallBack: In the ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' episode of ''Lemon 'n Bill'', Lemon seems to think that Mega Man's shots are actually lemons. Flash forward two years to the ''Mega Man X'' episode, when Egoraptor is in full-on ViewersAreMorons mode and is trying to figure out the controls. He finally finds the fire button and proclaims ''"YEAH! LEMONS!"''

* ''VideoGame/{{Castlevania}}'' vs ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaIISimonsQuest''

* ''VideoGame/{{Castlevania}}'' vs ''VideoGame/SuperCastlevaniaIV''

* PowerupLetdown: The main focus of his Super Castlevania IV video is that, due to the greatly increased utility of the whip, the sub-weapons become more or less useless. [[invoked]]

** It was later confirmed on WebVideo/GameGrumps (during the playthrough of A Link to the Past no less) that both Jon and Ego's Zelda videos have since been cancelled due to fears of fan backlash (they already got into some hot water with fans over Ego's apparent dislike for Zelda games released after A Link to the Past, and both caught flak for their apparent heavy dislike of recent fan favorite Skyward Sword).
** Whether or not this cancellation is still in effect is somewhat unknown. On a more recent Game Grumps AMA, Arin was asked about the Zelda episode and claimed that it was in "healthy production"

* PreemptiveShutUp: The final time [[ExpositionFairy Roll]] appears in the ''Mega Man X'' review, instead of verbally abusing her, Egoraptor just covers her mouth with his hand and says "Yeah, you get the idea". All fine and dandy until you realize Ego is holding what appears to be a ''chloroform rag''.
