FarCry 2. FarCry 1 is a pretty decent game, FarCry 2 isn't. I don't really know how to explain it, it just isn't.
Crysis is a much better "sequel".

Final Fantasy X-2. Fuck that game. All. Day. Long.
Frankly, I've ranted about how much I hate this game so much that even I'M tired of it at this point. But that won't stop me from linking to Spoony's review of it, which covers MOST of my gripes with the game:

It's pretty hilarious, and worth the watch, just for entertainment value. But, to be honest, I feel like he was actually TOO NICE to the game. Yes, I hate this game more than HIM.

In all honesty, I hated XIII-2 more than I ever could XIII. I thought XIII was fine- a weak Final Fantasy game, perhaps, but still an enjoyable game with a few very noticeable problems. Instead of taking a solid foundation and improving where necessary, XIII-2 throws everything XIII did well out the window.
Honestly don't mind X-2 that much. At least that game KNEW it was silly, and it was a ton of fun to play. So many optional quests.

The assassin's creed sequels have all continually disappointed me, not because they are bad, but because they are way too easy. Other than that I can't really think of any.
I would think that you would be okay with ACII, due to the expansion of gameplay and a much more interesting protagonist.Revnak said:
Comparatively yes, but it was still boringly easy. Just not as boringly easy as the next game, or the one after that. I suppose ACII is in some ways the best of the series for me, but in other ways I still prefer the first.sextus the crazy said:
I liked the first one the best simply because dicking about the cities was the best part and the novelty grew thin by the next games.Revnak said:
Tekken 6. I liked the arcade games (first three anyway) and rented the 6th. What I got was what seemed like it wanted to be a brawler only with crappy hit detection and no character selection. I didn't really give it much more of a chance than that.
Dragon Age 2: a hack-n-slash too ashamed of itself to come out of the closet...well... never mind.
Final Fantasy XIII.

Are you being honest here? Because if you are then wow.Karutomaru said:
I woudl throw up good ole Dragon Age 2 as an example of a bad sequel which gutted what made the original great. I like it but it is nowhere near as good as the original and if I'm being honest is a bargain bin buy.
Hmmm lets see:
GRAW1 & 2
SC: Double Agent
Madden (I can't remember, but one year I really hated, '07 maybe since I liked '06)
C&C4
Farcry 2
Bioshock 2 (though not bad it just isn't as gooD)
Joint first place goes to Modern Warfare 2 & Modern Warfare 3 as I really can't decide between the two.
One managed to tare down everything that CoD was to me, ruining what the first 5 games had built up; and the other one managed to destroy that little hope I had recuperated after playing Black Ops, putting the series into an dissuading and utterly irreversible state of reputation to me.
I will NEVER spend another penny on anything CoD, ever again. It has exactly 0 appeal to me. If I've managed to keep my wallet closed to CoD for the past year then I can manage it for another hundred more.

I would ignore Karutomaru, according to them, the NES didn't have real games on it.370999 said:
Always? I'm sorry but I struggle to believe that lightning can strike twicce, it is often intensely difficult to recreate what made the original game so good.Karutomaru said:
DA 2 was mentioned but I would say that here is a whole host of games that have been detrimentally dumbed down, or not given the necessary amount of time to become great or even the development time just lost the love of it and treated it solely as an exercise of money.
