Did you try the online free-roaming? I could see someone getting bored by the single player, but it would suck if you missed out on a taste of the multi-player. It wouldn't have made up for the single-player or the unresponsive controls, but wreaking havok with other GTA players was the best part.Adam Jensen said:
Why are all of these threads always contemporary? The most disappointing sequel EVER was FFX-2, followed closely by Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.
And I just want to add, in contemporary fashion, I thought the Killzon sequels were craptastic. Then again, I hated the entire series. However, like an idiot, I listened to the reviewers here and bought them, then realized, again, these games suck. I really need to rent more, and not just trust reviews.

Resident evil 5, considering how gd 4 was, how did they mess that up? (ok it wasnt bad, but it was a bit of a mess)
any silent hill after 3, but considering how highly regarded they r its not surprising
dow 2, mostly cause it was just an entirely different game (it is a personal bug bear of mine when a game changes genre and gameplay so it bares no likenss to the original yet claims its a sequel)
mercenaries 2
gta4
and most unplanned sequels that were only made cause the first one did well and they like money despite the story been so full of bs its stupid
oh and ff x-2 as my number one most hated sequel

I didn't like the story either, but the game itself wasn't a disappointing sequel.Psychotic-ishSOB said:
The characters acted like they were written by someone who had read the character synopsis in the game manuals of the first two games. But at least the plot wrapped up nicely, and the game itself was awesome.
My Captcha was "calling eedbol". If there is anyone here named Eedbol, Captcha was looking for you, didn't say why or anything.
KOTOR Might be my favorite game ever. Then I played KOTOR 2 and was more disappointed by it than any other game. I even played through twice to make sure it wasn't me. I know it sounds odd to play through a 50-something hour game a second time after not liking it the first(and not getting achievements for it), but I REALLY wanted to like it.Blindrooster said:
The gameplay was good(I think it ran on the same engine as the first), and there were even some improvements to it. But the real kicker was the writing. WORST WRITING EVER. I mean side-stories, characters, and the entire plot. Each conversation seemed to go nowhere. I have never heard to much being spoken with so little substance.
I thought dow 2 was good, but it irks me too when a game completely changes its shit for the "sequel". If your going to go in a different direction, make it a spin-off, not a sequel.dickywebster said:
Also forgot to mention that another of my favorite game is...............Deus Ex:Invisible War.
I never played the first one so I don't have any reason to hate the second one. I'd like to find a copy of the first, because my logic is: If I loved Invisible War so much, and everyone thinks it's garbage compared to the first, then the original will probably blow my mind.

Or at least change the name perhaps?dead.juice said:
And yeah dow 2 wasnt a bad game, but i was looking forwards to swarming the place with tyranid hordes like i did with orks and guard in the older ones, but then they cut the numbers and added this cover based stuff which kinda annoyed me.
The story and campaign were vastly imporved and interesting compared to the last ones, but i just didnt enjoy it as much, maybe cause it felt almost cut down, less races, less manpower you could deploy and while the campaign as good, it was still a lot smaller.
but then i do like rts games where i can build large armie so im probably biased there
This may as well be called the Kane & Lynch 2 thread.
I was a big, BIG fan of the first game. The story was solid and the characterization was perfect. The sequel had a flimsy story and next to zero character development. I'm not sure they even mention Lynch's condition and medication, the thing that made him such a lovable psychopath the first time around.

The original WH40k tabletop game was based on battle scenarios. When they made dow, they were taking a game more like dow 2 and making it an RTS. It's a great achievement to have successfully turned WH40k into a RTS, and I can see the disappointment in taking that series ideal, and stepping backwards with it.dickywebster said:
All the Final Fantasy Tactics sequels. By no means bad games but c'mon... How hard would it be to go back to the original Ivalice and have badass classes and a cool storyline again? I don't want my Summoner to have to some stupid bunny thing. Where's my samurai?
super disappointed.
super disappointed.
"Gangsters 2"
I was a HUGE fan of the first game, "Gangsters: Organised Crime" and became a big part of the game's forums, co-founding a clan (my handle? The_Godfather of course!) in preparation of the sequel that was clearly going to blow our minds. It didn't. It was abominable. In utter disappointment and with some shame I never returned to the forums.

Don't laugh at me, but Fable 3 is one of my most disappointing sequels. I enjoyed Fable 2 (so sue me) and for a split second there I actually believed what Peter Molyneux was saying, I glimpsed what could have been a very good game, but that was dashed when I played it. Damn you Molyneux, you just made the list!
Oblivion - Although I still like Oblivion for some things that it did right, it is clearly a lesser game when compared to the glory that is Morrowind.
Civilization 5 - Ridiculous business practices showing a lot of greed, there.
Ultima Pagan - God almighty, how I cursed this game when it was released. The series never managed to bounce back after this one.
Might and Magic 9 - Strange, strange title. Wasn't charmingly tacky as 6 , 7 and 8, wasn't truly a new experience... Lost in time and space.
All Final Fantasy titles after 7 (yes, even 10) - Sad decline of a fantastic franchise. One of the reasons I cannot stand JRPG anymore.
