Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire (horrible games, each new pokemon game just keeps getting worse and worse, R/S were a downgrade to Crystal on so many levels, you could tell gamefreak didnt care anymore)

Warcraft 3 (should have ended after 2, 3 ruined the lore, Wow destroyed the lore, still Wow and WC3 are good, but a new IP would have been better)

Dragonball Z Budokai 2 (Budokai 1 was miles better than Budokai 2 on so many levels, Budokai 2 had such low production values, did they even have a budget? 3 was overrated, tenkaichi was just meh)

Fear 2 (consoles ruin another fps, nuff said)

FFX-2 .... FFX had the most touching ending imo .... as much as I wanted to see what happens next, I didn't want to see Yuna looking like a whore !!!! I wish they continued the story in FFX-3 to delet FFX-2 from my mind ... the gameplay was very good tho.

I agree with God of War. The first game was a masterpiece, and one of the greatest games ever created. They really should not have made God of War II. It had a dumber story (seriously, it absolutely ignores cause and effect, and that is an ISSUE WHEN THE POINT OF THE STORY IS TIME TRAVEL), rehashed the same gameplay (albeit with a lot of polish and a couple of minor additions), seemed to put more stock in presentation of the story than in enemy and level design, and reduced the entire series to being a button masher, which the first game was not. God of War II might be better than God of War 1 by virtue of it having being released later, and thus featuring better graphics and marginally more refined gameplay. But according to me, God of War II absolutely ruined the prospects the series had had after the superb first game (although I must admit to loving Chains of Olympus). Metroid Prime should never have had a game after Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. The first two games are surreal masterpieces, but after that, a mediocre pinball spin off, a bastardized DS shooter and the heavily casualized Prime 3 just diluted the brand. The first two games rank as some of the best pieces of art to have been created. Everything else wearing the Prime name represents a cheap cash on mentality on Nintendo's part, in an attempt to capitalize on the unexpected success of the first game. I also strongly believe that Age of Empires should have ended after The Age of Kings and/or Age of Mythology. Both of these games are undoubtedly two of the best RTS games of all time, and were released at a time when the RTS genre was defined by the age of Empires series. Unfortunately, Age of Empires III was a steaming pile of turd that could not live up to the standards set by any of its three predecessors or their expansion packs. It tarnished the brand irrevocably.

Every game that Activision pumps out year after year. I don't wish they would've stopped completely, I just wish they would wait longer and put more effort in to making a good game.

GOW3 is far better than the last two.

el3m2tigre

Tell me how you came to the conclusion that GOW3 is superior to GOW2 (besides graphics) and I'll tell you how, I think, you are wrong.

I completely agree with God of War. The second game was extremely well made... but its premise was just s***. Devil May Cry 4 is another. Again, it was very well made, and in terms of gameplay introduced some fantastic new elements into the series, but the story was kind of silly, and the focus should have been on Dante. Playing through his section, it felt like he was a second-cIass character, relegated to the back of the stage.

@Serioussamik

What do you have a personal vendetta against the god of war series? I already called you out on your other post pertaining to God of War. The series was brilliant, I'm glad they made it. And if you lack the fortitude to play the games because the content is too mature for you, then don't play them. No one is forcing you to. You can't be a "feeling like a heretic as you play because you're killing gods" because you are not ancient greek now are you? Therefore you are NOT a member of their religion, which means you are not a heretic for playing a video game.

You need to find a more constructive and productive way to spend your time instead of attacking video games for their mythological content integrity.

On the contrary you need to have better things to do other than misunderstanding topics and irrelevantly posting stuff to contradict people with opinions against your favorite videogame series.What do you mean by saying I'm not an ancient Greek and all.Do you want people to adore only his/her faith and favorite game and it is not nice any more to respect other's faith or opinions?

On both grounds sounds like bigotry to me.

So ummm let me get this straight. since a lot of folks here don't read after the initial title and just post based off what they see as the first reply.

The whole reason this thread was created is because you didn't like how the game portrayed the Gods?? Are you serious buddy? So what if Zeus was a bad guy.... it was a different take on things and the fact that they used greek mythology was good and creative.

Next you'll say that you don't like assassins creed because of the way it portrays the pope and christians right? Or does that only apply to Greek Gods?

You said you felt like a heretic as you were slaying the greek gods. Heresyis the formal denunciation of one's religion, principles or cause. Unless you still worship zeus and the rest of the olympians, then no you are not committing heresy. Your opinions, on how the god of war series, should never have been continued, are your own and you're entitled to them, but your reasoning is just not sound. You don't like slaying gods? They're notyour gods. Or is it just video game killing in general?But its okay to kill numerous other enemies in whatever games you play? Unless you stick to racing and wii type games only? Playing Mario, do you stand up on your soapbox preaching for all those poor mushroom people that Mario stomped on? I doubt it. People should adore their own faith yes, thats why it makes it special, but adoration and repsect are different things. I keep my faith, but I respect those with their own faiths, and they're free to do so.

Nope that was not the intention was creating the thread.just that I typed a bit of opinion about GOW 2 & 3, but the point was asking people which game they felt should not have existed to dilute a well-loved series.regarding what you perceive to be the agenda here,there's a sepearte thread in PS3 forums which I made.

Ok if you don't agree wid the reasoning thing it's ok.But dats what I fell and basically that has got nothing with the thread topic.Point here was after GOW 1's near perfect epicness on every grounds were improved upon every aspect by GOW 2.But the story became rather moot.So they should have created a different storyline on Greek mythology or a different game altogether IMO.If you disagree do so by all means and neither am i saying my reasoning is too sound to make this a "fact".But spare me the lectures on what I think/perceive or what should I think because people have personal opinions, you see?

If they make a Condemned 3, they should spend the first 10 minutes of it explaining everything that happened in the second one was just a dream.

I don't think they should have stopped with God of War 2 (though it was my favorite in the series), I think Sony should have thrown more money at David Jaffe until he couldn't say no to finishing the God of War series, because God of War 3 was a big letdown to me, graphically it was superior but gameplaywise it was a big letdown. I don't think making God of War 3 was a bad decision, I wanted it, but how they went about doing it was all wrong.

Agree.People and developers feel a PNC-RPG should be as close as possible to Diablo and and for MMORPG's WOW is the benchmark.It's refreshing to see some game with new takes on PNC RPG like The Witcher.

Why be so "anti-game"? You know what's really neat about gaming? That in no world does there exist an entity that forces you or anyone to play any title. You are not the sole being that games are created for. No one is. You don't like GoW 2? Check this out....DON'T PLAY IT. Pretty cool huh? MUCH better than people whining about things they can't control. And on top of that why be so anit-GoW anyway? GoW 2 I think was the best in the series. I dunno I just don't like needless hate like this. And this same logic applies to movies as well. You don't like the Matrix sequels or the Star Wars prequels or whatever....DO....NOT....WATCH. It's logic that a first grader could grasp.

The one game that should never have been : Dragon Age 2. Never have I been so disgusted with a game in my life, in fact I could write millions of words of disgust I feel towards this game, and this is coming from a huge fan of Origins, DA2 may have managed to get a release but should subsequently be banned for being such a joke of a game!!

Another game that shouldnt have happened: COD4, yes its a decent game, but look at what it has helped to create, legions of chavs now worship the COD!!!

FF should have stopped at 10. Pokemon Black and White should have been the next games after Ruby/Sapphire, Diamond and Pearl should not have existed (no matter how good they are, they don't move the series forward much). RE5 should never have existed.

RE5 was allright IMO.In fact it and RE4 made me feel some other games like Outbreak,Outbreak file 2 and Codename Veronica were stretching the franchise too far.

Oh boy. This is a LONG list. One that comes to mind instantly for me though, and is still recent is Sonic 4: Episode 1. SEGA is famous for having a crying fanbase to such an extreme that it's absolutely ridicolous. Of course though, you want to satisfy the fanbase. That's the only reason the classic Sonic series returned and it was poorly done. Shame on the fans and shame on SEGA.
