Most Unnecessary Games

[Alakaizer]

What is/are the most unnecessary game(s) you've played? They might not be bad games per se, just more than what was needed. First ones I can think of are Chrono Trigger DS and No More Heroes 2. They're not bad at all, but we didn't need another port of Chrono Trigger, and No MOre Heroes ended so perfectly that a sequel was pointless.

All opinions welcome, feel free to jump in!

More or less ANY movie-based games. And most super-hero games, and to be clear I am NOT including Batman: Arkham Asylum in this :>

It annoys the hell out of me that the big bosses have to push for a release at the same time (more or less) as the latest popcorn flick to earn some quick bucks instead of spending the time and resources necessary and actually making a good game. There is TONS of potential in movie-games but its almost never realized.

I would say most of the GTA Games after 3.

I found FFX-2 unnecessary. Final Fantasy 10 should end where it ends. But, this didn't stop me from spending 120 hours on the game to get 100 percent. Why the hell I did this I don't know why.

It was still a fun game. It was unnecessary, but I had a lot of fun with it.

OT: All of the Wii-Shovelware. It's all there just for a quick cash grab with minimum effort. As one of my favorite people once said in regards to them, "By if you hate your family"

Bioshock 2. Lots of the Guitar Heroes. I also don't think we need new sports games every year.

Sneak King. Look it up.

Sneak King. Look it up.

Ugh. Don't need to. Had a roommate at the time who got all three of those things.

Add in the old 7up game and any game where the product placement is the game itself.

Bioshock 2.

Sneak King.

Grrr...ninja'd

However, one that does come to mind is FEAR 2. Not only did it not introduce anything new to franchise (aside from an utterly useless cover system and incredibly underwellming mech sections) the story was dumber, the characters were more cliched and unbareable, the gameplay was more repeditive, and the horror aspects were cheesier and more "BOO!" oriented than ever. Pretty much the only incentive of developing the game was "Hey! People'll buy it!".

I'm going to say this piece of crap:

 

[GnomeThief]

Left 4 Dead 2. Sure it added some new zombies, melee weapons, and so on, but the rest was just about the same.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

I'm going to say this piece of crap:

LAWL! I just called that number!! hahahaha!!

Also I'd have to say Halo ODST

every single movie-based game....they're all dreadfully bad. with the king of them being superman returns.

Most mario games after 64 = remakes with little to add.

 

[Superior Mind]

From what I've seen of the F.E.A.R 3 trailer, F.E.A.R 2. What I gather is that all that game added to the story was how whatsername got knocked up. Do you really need a whole goddamn game to show how some ghost tart got knocked up?

dragonball raging bone- I mean ass- I mean blast - I mean game that focuses on rehashing a story thats been beaten to death more than mario and should've ended with Z! I mean the entire gameplay for most of the trophies has a redundancy theme to them. I only liked the what if scenarios and to put the cherry on top I enjoyed reading the text logs and listining to (most)of the character intros. Thats right i enjoyed reading the game intead of playing the buggy mess.

Oh and the game title is Dragonball: Raging Blast
whoa.. better calm down before I have a heart attack.

Pokemon Battle Revolution.

I thought it'd be cool to see my Pokemon in 3D with cool looking fights, but the moves look cheap and interchangable. There was just no effort put into it. It was more entertaining to watch them in 2D on the DS. At least that has some charm to it.

I would say most of the GTA Games after 3.

You're kidding. Every GTA game after 3 was a huge success.

I've never played it but there's a little bucketload of failure called "Desert Bus".

I'd have to disagree. Look how much money it's raised for charity!
