Amazing games that absolutely SHOULDN'T get/have got sequels

[Canadish]

Dragon Age Origins.
While it was open for a sequel, and that was all good, Bioware(Mike "Jade Empire" Laidlaw/EA) decided to scrap all those loose plot threads, throw it out the window, and essentially reboot the franchise with Commander Shepar-I mean "Hawke".
Undercooked, poorly conceived and a blatant cash in. An insult to the good folks who work at Bioware and Brent Knowles, DAO's lead designer (left the DA2 project early on in disgust: http://blog.brentknowles.com/2010/08/15/bioware-brent-year-10-fall-2008-summer-2009/ ).

Curious where it will lead Dragon Age 3.
All the early interviews/forum responses had the Developers being rude, insulting fans, and otherwise unwilling to acknowledge the problems with DA2.
Then the sales figures came in, and they went silent.

Most curious.

I'm gonna just jump on the DA2 hate bandwagon. Also, I don't know if you could really call it a sequel, but that last Jak game should not fucking exist.

EDIT: Jesus H. Christ, five warnings in the same thread? Getting a bit overzealous, aren't we mods?

I want to say Fable, but 3 redeemed it somewhat... They should;ve just gone straight from Fable to Fable 3. Fable 2 sshould never have been made.

oh god what..

3 was even worse than 2, which was just awful. Fable >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2 > 3. It just shouldn't have gotten any sequels if they were going to fuck it up so badly.

How was 3 worse than 2? Obviously it wasn't everything it could've been, with the whole kingship thing being a massive disappointment, but the environments were much more varied, and the storyline more involved, the whole thing felt detailed, whereas Fable 2 just felt rushed out, buggy and (for me at least) laggy. I got the feeling that it was just a test for the 'dog mechanics' (if you will).

Then again that's my opinion and, as you said, really there shouldn't have been any sequels :/

To me the kingship ruined the whole game, way worse than anything in 2, It was honestly the dumbest thing I've ever seen in a game. And the ending was so tacked on and ridiculous, the last boss was a joke. 2 might be worse than 3, but 3 in no way redeems the series. ><

But yeah, we're basically just comparing horse shit and dog shit here.

Dragon Age: Origins, DMC 3 and COD4 come to mind.

CoD4 - MW2: Should of had a sequel...just not the sequel we were given.

Force Unleashed - Force Unleashed 2: The first game linked the prequels with the original trilogy quite well I think but no, they still had to cram more s**t in there.

FFX - FFX-2: Please Kill Me.

Modern Warfare
KOTOR
Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow

I win

MW2 was the only COD i liked... And Pokemon sapphire/ruby/emerald were good.

OT: Its not like a sequel makes the original worse. If you don't think you will like the game don't buy it.

Yes Bioshock 1 and 2 were good games however Bioshock infinate will have a lot to live up to, if it dosent then i will be massively disapointed and it will ruin the Bioshock series
