Sequels that Squandered Potential

I have to admit, as much as I love Diablo III, I had to laugh at Azmodan the "master tactician" telling me his plans all through Act III. I get that he was trying to scare us, but after the first couple times he tells you his plans and then you stop them, he probably should have learned it would be better for him to just keep his trap shut.DioWallachia said:
Both Deus Ex: Invisible War and Human Revolution. Granted, all three Deus Ex games rate a solid 8/10 in my book, but all for different reasons.
Thief: Deadly Shadows. Not bad by any stretch (and being able to flatten against walls was great), but Thief II's HOOJ levels made it feel much more sprawly and explory, while Deadly Shadows was claustrophobic and kept using that goddamned eyesore teal to highlight things.
Gettin' me all excited. :c

Dude, I liked a very different XIII from the one you're talking about and thought I had just discovered a sequel I hadn't heard about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XIII_(video_game)SmarterThanYou said:

If only Movie Bob could hear the noble words that come from your post about Other M. There is still logic in this world and these manly tears are for you.NameIsRobertPaulson said:

Just trying to help. It is just the lack of proper communication that makes any negative seems like entitlement bitching. Remember how the fans complained that the game was "too sugary" or "too colorful" when the screenshots came? that was because they feared that the dark atmosphere that made the first 2 games great would be lost, its integral in the greater whole rather than just something complaining about cosmetics.Hammeroj said:
So, when you tried to argue with that other guy over there, i just put the videos to facilitate the process, because believe that people are just too indoctrinated into listening to a video rather than seeing the same thing in text form.
Is not THAT bad compared to Adam from Metroid Other M.Kungfu_Teddybear said:
THAT PERFECT MILITARY MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (shakes fist in the air and cries tears of admiration)
I am seriously telling you that people just REFUSE to hear you if it isnt in video form. I am still not sure if these is really a signal of something worse for the future to come, but i got the feeling that, for example, if the Red Letter Media guy (Mr.Plinket) did a .pdf or a text based analizis of The Phantom Menace instead of a video, the people wont even know he actually exist nor care to read the whole thing.Hammeroj said:
I really wish to know some psychology right now on this subject because i dont really want to jump to the conclusion that its just "fanboism"
Mismanaged scheduling, taking 3 years and still ending up with a product that felt rushed. Plus, and I know I'm in the minority on this pet peeve, but they cared sod-all about the campaign and spent the majority of the assets and schedule focusing on the multiplayer. Which would be fine if it were in addition to a good story mode rather than at the expense of it.bigfatcarp93 said:
I love Halo, but more for the story and sci-fi setting than anything else. And Halo 2 remains the series low point for me. And I didn't even mind the cliffhanger ending. They nailed the multiplayer stuff and good on them for doing that at least. But yeah, it let me down in the area I most cared about.
I know your pain buddy. I do love Halo and it's fiction. Hell I spent a year making Halo webcomics for free, just because it was a fun way to be a part of the community surrounding Halo. But 2 will always stick in my craw.-Drifter- said:
It was mechanically fine and that's why it worked on the levels that it did. But the campaign always feels like a throwaway component rather than the next grand piece of the epic story that the second act of a space opera trilogy should be.
And don't even get me started on the annoying graphical hiccups that the game suffered from. We'll be here all day. Grrrr *seethe*
Your avatar has made me less angry today. Did you draw it? It's adorable!ThriKreen said:
On topic, I'd say I was a bit let down by Saint's Row The Third- I did have fun, but it just wasn't the same experience for me as SR2. I was also hoping for multiplayer improvements.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R Clear Sky was an experiment that, although possessing some cool elements, felt like it missed the mark considerably.
Oh boy I can bang my Dragon Age 2 Hate drum
So yeah Dragon Age 2 has destroyed the series for me especially since that they have said that they are not going back to the DO:A style and are showing shit that the first game already had as major features for Dragon Age 3

I agree with this so much. They removed the open world elements in exchange for a hub world with not much in it and made the player through the clouds by tapping A and tilting the Wii Remote. It was so gimmicky it broke all immersion, as the remote wouldn't register a lot of the time, and Fi is the most irritating character in gaming in my opinion.WhiteTigerShiro said:
However, the boss fights looked awesome and played awesome. Apart from fighting Ghirahim, but that would have been quite cool if it weren't for the controls...no, wait, the controls were what was supposed to make the fight cool, and it failed.
