Shenmue. They should have finished the story in the first two games. That way people like me wouldn't feel pain every time the word 'sequel' is mentioned.
Amazing games that absolutely SHOULDN'T get/have got sequels

i disagree. making a sequel most times involves adding to the plot of the first game. this can detract from the first by filling in gaps poorly where our imagination could do a better job, or just by giving us that knowledge of what the characters were doing next that can color our perception of the first... look at the entire star wars series.Tin Man said:

But there are still more areas of America we know nothing about. Also as long as Obsidian keep making the Fallout games I really want to see what new great characters and storylines they come up with.Mr Shrike said:
You're talking about The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, right? I'm pretty sure that's not the first of the series. I could be wrong though.MeputthecaninthebininHL2 said:
Anyway, I can't really think of any game I liked that I absolutely wouldn't want to get a sequel. As long as it's a good sequel that is.
And about bad sequels that have already been made, you could just play the original again. I doubt it got any worse after the sequel was released.
I believe that Dragon Age Origins and NWN 1 shouldnt have gotten their awful sequels, they deserved better. I would have included Kotor 1 with it's sequel but it wasn't actually that bad, just needed a bit of fixing up =/
the vast majority of games don't need sequels. I have no problem with adding a number at the end and keeping basic gameplay and maybe a setting or even a few characters(kinda what FF does) but a lot of sequels suffer because developers try to fit in another story with the same characters despite the fact that their story is finished and/or it's just ridiculous to have one guy survive that many deadly cutscene wounds.
They had to start warming up for Battlefield 3 somehow.xchurchx said:
Also I'm going to say CoD4:MW. It only got a sequel because Activision demanded it after the first one did so unrealistically and unexpectedly well. Does anyone even remember that? Sure, people expected CoD4 to be good, but not nearly as good as it was.
I feel your pain, my friend. Shenmue is one of the most enjoyable games I have ever played. I might even go as far as to call it THE most enjoyable game I have ever played.Look-a-Hill said:
It almost brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it's not going to get the sequels it was promised
Okay, screw everyone else, YOU have won the thread. I'd like to take FFX-2 and fire it into the sun. (I could go into a long rant about why I hate that game to it's core, but I'll spare you)wadark said:
The only reason you believe it cut corners is because it's not like DA:O. That's the point. They wanted to build a more restricted experience to show you what was happening in Kirkwall. DA 3 will most likely be back to the DA:O design because it won't be a "This was what was happening in another part of the world at the same time" story.Rylian said:
The Godfather. I really liked the first one, it was relativley close to the movies and stuck to the setting pretty good and was fun to play.
The Godfather 2 however was like number 1's retarded ugly cartoon cousin. It's just plain f***ing awful, theres no describing how angry I got when I played it, so dissapointed.

InFamous, Dragon Age, XCOM/UFO shouldn't have got/get a sequel, or at least, they deserved better.
The InFamous and Dragon Age sequels actually are not quite bad, but for me, both of it ruined their predecessors with uninteresting storyline and/or unnecessary innovations.
Ugh, and speaking of unnecessary "innovations", the new XCOM not even out, but literally destroyed the old XCOM franchise. I hate to judge something I didn't even try, but to alter this horrible, like the XCOM: Enemy Unknown, it's nothing, just a betrayal of the fans.

command and conquer. I love the franchise, but tiberian sun was soo terrible. i would like a nice remake of the first one though. and a good version of renegade
Nice fantasy world you got there. It would be a shame if something happened to it.Autofaux said:
Anyway, you're missing the point. The topic is amazing games that shouldn't have gotten a sequel, and I seriously doubt that anybody would honestly profess their love for COD on this forum.
I realize you said "various reasons" but I guess I'm just nitpicking. Perhaps Yahtzee is getting to me...
More OT: If people are suggesting that Red Dead Redemption should not have a direct sequel, I agree wholeheartedly. Otherwise, wtf...
EDIT:
NOOO, I loved tiberian sun!!! What was wrong with it?? In fact, it's tied with Stronghold: Crusader as my favorite RTS! (I haven't played many)Fetzenfisch said:
Which brings me to: the Stronghold series. Several shoddy updates to that IP, indeed.
I'm going with Prototype. That game was just boring and bland beyond imagination and it had so much potential. I know plenty will disagree with me, but that's my vote.
