What game is your most dissapointing sequel?

I would say Devil May Cry 2, it just didn't live up to the splendor of the first game

Mine is Def Jam Icon. The previous game was so fun, the they just ruined it with Icon.

Mass Effect 2, generally I don't even care when a game changes as long as it's fun, but this really bothered me for some reason.

A few spring to mind

GT5 (just sometimes feels half baked :( )

FFXIII

GTA4

Skate 2 (still love it but some of it was ill thought out for example clunky on foot controls :S )

Final Fantasy 10-13

... I take that back ...

Any JRPG sequels to classic games.

Half-life 2, for pretty much the reasons this guy lays out:

I still play Half-Life 1 pretty religiously. HL2 I finished once and really don't want to go back to. I totally understand what makes it a good game, but I just can't get into it. It all feels too scripted. I guess HL1 was linear also, but it had this spontaneous feeling. HL2 can be summed up as following a single winding line, killing a few things along the way, looting for ammo, talking to some people who say to go somewhere else, rinse and repeat. HL1 always felt like you were the one blazing a trail through a crumbling facility, desperately searching for an exit.

That feeling was re-captured perfectly in Episode One, imo. People seem to dislike it most out of all the HL2 games, but for me it's nigh gameplay perfection. No constant hand-holding, just you and Alyx on the run.

I also found all the extended one way conversations an immersion breaking holdover from the first game (they worked much better in the first game given the context of the story and the brevity of of their duration) .

This gen´s Alone in the Dark, Farcry 2 and Resident Evil 5.

FFXIII, MGS4, FFXIIRW, Silent Hill Homecoming, DMC2, Soul Calibur 4, Tekken 6, Ninja Gaiden 2, Far Cry 2, any Tony Hawk title after Underground 1

Mine is Def Jam Icon. The previous game was so fun, the they just ruined it with Icon.

GTAIV. So disappointing compared to the PS2 games.

Starcraft 2, the PC has even more rehashes than the Wii.

Fable's 2 and 3.

Just call it a childs game already and not a RPG.

It's probably in the same league as Aragorn's Quest

Gothic 3, they took the near perfection that was Gothic 2 and completely crapped on it.

Marvel ultimate Alliance 2. They made Venom so weak in that game......

GTA4

Fable III was rushed, and it didn't live up to my expectations.

Fear 2

Metal Gear Solid 4.

You can use stealth, but it's more a hassle than it is helpful. That defeats the purpose, stealth is supposed make infiltration easier.
Call me crazy, but I liked the pre-Subsistence camera better. That along with the Soliton Radar.
Weapon OSP was so much more satisfying than the Drebin store.
Making Snake old was really dumb and desperate on Kojima's part.
The story was a mess, but MGS2 takes partial blame for that. The length and pacing of the cutscenes was terrible also.
Prague and Outer Haven contain very little gameplay when compared to the first two chapters.
The CODEC was underused. Seriously Otacon and Rose are the only people I get to talk to?
WAY too many useless items/weapons. I'm a fan of the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) approach.
Beauty and the Beast Squad sucked and were totally uninteresting.

It's not even funny how much the 4th game pales in comparision to the first 3.

You're in the wrong thread. The thread titled "greatest epic masterpiece of all time" is dat way >

Resident Evil 4 and 5. Neither are as good as 0,1,2,3, CVX. Quite looking forward to buying a 3DS for some resident evil action.Dibdibdobdobo

The Force Unleashed 2. I thought it would be better than the first but was just crapper.IceBlazerX

Thats easy, OFP: Dragon Rising.

Other dissapointig sequels off the top of my head:

AVP (The new one)

Deus Ex Invisable War

EQ2

Farcry 2

Resident Evil 5

Far Cry 2, Resident Evil 5. Both awful and disappointing games, just period.

I loved the first two games. If it weren't for this game Dino Crisis would've lived on. WTF were they thinking?!

I guess Midnight Club LA Remix for PSP cuz its frustrating to race and hard to see the on coming traffics, also vehicles and continent isn't variety as Midnight Club 3.
