Worst Sequels EVAR

DMC2 was so bad.

Any Driver game after the first one.

Devil May Cry 2

The bait & switch mess that was MGS2...

that's pretty much all I can think of right now.

edit. oh, and FF's VIII, X-2, and XII

Ever heard of an opinion? Because I am surely not the only one who was complained about Fallout 3. You need to just chill out for a moment and realize that opinions can neither be right or wrong, they change from person to person and validity does not revolve around your own outlook and, yes one hour is more then enough to guage an opinion, especially when my friend has discussed his experiences with the game after my little trial and so have thousands of other people online. Just because I dont like the game you like doesnt mean I'm trolling. Calm down. GoGoGadget_

Brothers in Arms: Hells highway

Bioshock 2

FEAR 2

MGS2 > MGS1

seriously, idk why everyone hates raiden so much....i guess it's because he took your precious snake away?

i mean snake was still in the damn game...the gameplay formula was the exact same, the ONLY thing different was playing as raiden rather than snake is all, and i enjoyed that more

snake is a great character, but c'mon, you guys got way to hurt by that

mo0ksi

That's about it really.

Deep down, the game is an absolute mess because of how terrible the storyline is and how poorly it's told. Video game stories couldn't be any more convoluted than what MGS 2 was, and it's only worse when you're frequently taken out of the game with the excessive amounts of cutscenes and codec conversations, which end up being back to back on more than a few occasions. I usually don't dock off marks heavily for a poor story, but when it takes up the majority of the game, well...you know. With some frankly bad writing and pacing with the story, it was more like an instruction manual to developers on what you should not do when telling a story in a video game.

So the problem was Raiden, and absolutely everything else surrounding him. It's like Kojima didn't even make the attempt in having the story make the least bit sense. It was stupid when you seen charachers like Vamp & Fortune, and just eventually became miraculously stupid when Arsenal Gear came into the mix, messing up an already messed up plot.

On top of this, the game was filled with awkward moments. The president grabbing Raiden's crotch, Otacon being seduced by his stepmom, etc.

The atrocious storyline MGS2 had is the main reason why I don't even want to touch MGS4. I can only imagine how pretentious that game's story is.

FF X-2 and F.E.A.R 2

Red Alert 3 for the 52nd time.

EA defiled the C&C franchise. :(

[QUOTE="mo0ksi"] Raiden wasn't a problem compared to other aspects of the game. The core game is actually great, and made good improvements over the original in terms of mechanics. It also had a nice audio/visual presentation.

edit. oh, and FF's VIII, X-2, and XII

Indie_Hitman

The biggest problem I had with VIII was the Draw system, which, combined with the summons being unskippable and eventually the ONLY effective method of fighting, just slowed the game right down to the point of being unplayable for me. That, along with not only topping VII in terms of melodrama, but going so far over the top with it that every time a cutscene comes up you just wanna cringe.

1. Final Fantasy XII

2. F.E.A.R 2

3. Silent Hill 4: The Room

Thats about all I can think of at the moment.

Resident Evil 5 and Devil May Cry 2 comes to mind when I think of games that didn't impress me as much as it predecessor.

I can't believe I am going to be the first saying this, but Dino Crisis 3 totally wins this thread.

The first two games were incredibly good titles that showed that Resident Evil wasn't even the best Capcom had to offer in terms of survival horror.

The 3rd game is just notoriously bad to the point I sadly refused to even touch it with how much negativity I have heard surrounding it.

How they went from the cliffhanger that was in Dino Crisis 2 to freaking dinosaurs in space is beyond me..,

But yeah, Dino Crisis 3 wins for single-handedly killing a great franchise.

LostProphetFLCL

This. While games like Oblivion have disappointed me greatly, absolutely nothing compares to the atrocity that was Dino Crisis 3. The first two games were just so good. The third was complete failure. If you loved the series and played 3, other sequels just don't compare to that disappointment.

But I will say this: Duke Nukem Forever.

Still think MGS1 beats it down. 3 is proboly my 3rd or 4th favorite mainly cause the meh bosses.

That's right I forgot about DRIV3R. That game was bad.

I've considered just getting Fallout 1 and 2 to see how good they were for the sake of comparison. My laptop isn't too good for gaming but I can't imagine I would need any sort of impressive specs to play them now

BPoole96

That and it might be worth reading the Fallout 1 manual before playing it (should be available digitally or on disk), as this isn't a game that gives you much of an in-game tutorial.

Oh and a word to the wise - Fallout 2's starting area is insanely tough for characters specialising in anything but combat or agility traits; so if you do play a character weaker in those builds, sneak as often as possible and save often (I think the fan patches do balance out the insanity of the difficulty).

Far Cry 2: I don't even know why they bothered calling it far cry 2 it could have been a new ip.

SF4: 5 characters play very similarly and to add to that most characters from past SF games were excluded. On day one of buying Tekken 6 all characters from Tekken 5 were available. There was no need for Super Tekken 6.

MGS2: You had to play through the rest of the game as raiden. That to me is like playing a Batman game then having to switch to playing robin!

[QUOTE="KevinButlerVP"]probably Crackdown 2toxicmog

Off the top of my head ...

MGS4

Far Cry 2

Crackdown 2

GTA4

Disgaea 3

EDIT: How could i forget ... FABLE 2. What a downright terrible game on all accounts. There was not one good thing about that game.

Story?what story.

Graphics?Yeah ... no

Gameplay? You're having a laugh

Fable 2 and MGS4. Just couldn't stomach either of them.

1. Duke Nukem Forever
2. Sonic the Hedgehog 2006
3. Bomberman: Act Zero
4. Robocop 3 for PC
5. Pac-Man World

I dont remember seeing this comment! Wow moderators were fast! Yes, I do have an Xbox 360. Would you like me to take some photos of MY xbox AND stack of games? I trully am converting to the PS3 as I am not a fanboy, I dont not have any obligations to blindly serve megacorporations by slandering their opposition and calling everyone who doesnt agree with them a troll :) GoGoGadget_

Heroes of Might and Magic 4 . How could they destroy the best TBS game ever (Heroes 3 complete ) . Also, Final fantasy 13 . Actually, the series went downhill since part 10 for me .
