Worst game sequel

[GeeksUtopia]

star wars the force unleashed 2. too much hype for such a short and simple game

I've never played any of the other Elder Scrolls games, but I really didn't enjoy Oblivion. My experience with it was dreary and monotonous, and the characters had such an uncanny valley vibe that I couldn't even begin to care about the story.

I'm glad that only one person mention Dragon Age 2, because Dragon Age 2 was a fantastic sequel and game. Maybe this means that the unreasonable hate for DA2 is dying down.

As for worst game sequel, it has been said, but still, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2, oh and the DLC makes it worse, just to let people know. The only good thing to come from it is the ability to punt Ewoks like footballs.

Almost forgot: Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a game that doesn't deserve even a small fraction of its praise.

Supreme Commander 2. Good Bye strategy.

This thread gets my Far Cry 2 stamp.

Seriously. I'm still in shock over how poor that game was. Great graphics. But NO fun. Gamplay wasn't even vanilla, its like if there was a water flavored ice cream.

Also. Fable 3. I didn't play the first two. But DAMN. It was so far from a great game.

Somebody please tell me the first two were better.

Perfect Dark Zero. Simple as that. Not the worst game ever made but it doesn't compare to it's predecessor in the extreme. Perfect Dark (N64) was an amazing game, hopefully no one really wants to disagree with me there. When I got my 360 and got Perfect Dark Zero I was actually near ashamed to have it among my game collection. The change of mechanics ruined the game for me. It played nothing like the original and therefore became a terrible sequel among it's older better kin.

I honestly thought that Halo: Reach was a complete disappointment, and absolutely horrendous as a sequel.

 

[ToAsTy McBuTTeR]

any sequel to a final fantasy game specifically. by that i mean advent children, dirge of cerberus, crisis core, and X-2 (although i liked how hilarious was for Tidus to come back at the end of the GOOD ending and notice his little summoner GF was now more bad ass than he was).

i also hate the Tactics remake. sure the gameplay is as solid as ever but did anyone actually enjoy the cameos they so shamefully inserted? i for one did not.

Devil May Cry 4. i guess i am the only person who thought this was the most righteous piece of shit ever... in fairness i didn't play 2 as i was warned away from it. but seriously? nero is a raging ****. he is boring, has enough angst to drown a starship, and is just plain fucking STUPID.

Fable 2. the story is SHIT... if you think otherwise, ask yourself how many times you have a fair chance, during the plot, to outright KILL the asshole who is going to kill hundreds of thousands of people, and you DON'T kill him just because your annoying blind aunt (sorry spoilers and not truly "FACTUAL" but hell i don't care) wants to control the spire for what exactly? the ability to see the future? doesn't she do that already? and hell i am so glad that she told my sister to waste what could have been a week's worth of food so that she could get shot in the face... which theresa KNEW was going to happen! what a *****.

TL;DR version
FF sequels
DMC4
Fable 2

Metroid Fusion. It's a good game, sure, but adding in a crappy story is what led the Metroid series to it's down fall. Lets face it, Miyamoto isn't a very good story writer.

Please elaborate for me.
I haven't played the game in a year or two, but I liked that Fusion told some of Samus' past.

I never liked the sad story about Samus, I always found it so lame.

I get some people like the story and want Samus to have her own personality and stuff, but I never did. I reckon Miyamoto should have just focused on explaining bits n' pieces through game play and triggered actions. That's what made Super Metroid and Metroid Prime so great.

The only sequel for me that could fall into this category is Mega Man X7. Some franchises just can't survive the transition into 3D.

Dragon Age II springs to mind, I haven't played either but apparently people won't stop going on about it.

In all seriousness Alundra 2 was awful compared to the first.

Dragon Age 2 is a bit of a disappointment, but some of the people foaming at the mouth about the game are just ridiculous.

The only complaints I really have about Dragon Age 2 is the lack of imagination with level design, and some pretty screwed up glitches. It isn't horrible, but it could have been a lot better had it not been rushed.

 

[godfist88]

sonic unleashed it looked promising at first, but the developers had to royally screw it up by adding the werehog. I mean WTF man?

 

[Chase Yojimbo]

Final Fantasy 8, and all after and including 10-2.
All Spyro Games after number 3.
All Crash Bandicoot's after they switched to PS2
Fable 2 was horrible, Fable 3 at least was a lot better than 2 so I forgive it for existing.

And whats all this hate on Dragon Age 2? I rather liked it.

Thanks, I get it now. Personally I loved the chozo lore idea that Prime used. The lack of information makes what little you find more important.

I'll go with Resistance 2. I bought my PS3 on Allegro (Polish equivalent of Ebay) from a guy who also send me all of his games he had on it, including Resistance: Fall of Men. At the time, I was completely green in terms of console gaming, so I didn't even know what to expect. And then, R: FoM turned out to be a decent, pretty fun shooter (although since it was my first console FPS, I almost ate my controller at first). Then we discovered with friends that - HEY! This game has a split-screen co-op! We made at least 4 playthroughs since then, and each one was a great fun.

Fast-forward to the moment I saw Resistance 2. I invited my friend to play it, and then... Why the split-screen co-op works only on some crappy missions outside of the plot? Bah, maybe at least the single player will be fu- oh wait, no. After a first few missions it became so boring and repetitive, I didn't manage to finish it. Shame...

command and conquer 4 *crys* that was such a bad game

 

[The Apothecarry]

Dead or Alive Xtreme 2.

...do I really need an explanation?

 

[Korten12]

And while I haven't played it myself, I hear Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World is considered a war crime in some parts of the world.

I haven't played it either but I also agree with this. The first game was awesome, great characters, combat, environments, story, etc... But then I heard they butchered the story with the second...

 

[HapexIndustries]

I had a bunch of ideas but in the end I agree with the first comment:

Other M

If the Metroid games carry on from this sequel they are totally done. As it is, Other M basically ruined the character of Samus Aran and was a pretty poor game overall.

I was personally offended by Homeworld 2, but I'm guessing no one else really got down with the Homeworld.

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World is considered a war crime in some parts of the world.

oh god yes yes it is worst sequel ever made might be the worst rpg ever made and i played too human. that one game distroyed the Symphonia lore then added bad gameplay.......
