Fable 2 and 3 I fucking loved Fable and everything it felt it could achieve. And then Fable 2 and 3 totally failed to achieve anything, the stories were just terrible and they decided to focus on the random crap we accepted as a novelty in the first game like the painful humor and focus on random npcs. WHY MOLYNEUX WHY
Worst game sequel

Manhunt 2 has been disappointing (I've yet to complete the story though), maybe it's because brutally killing people in a Video Game isn't as entertaining as it once was?
ill give you #1... i tried playing the game again like a year ago and couldnt remember how to leave the first ROOM. and i recall just how insanely difficult it is to leave that ship.devildog1170 said:
but i liked the rest of the game. still wasnt nearly as good as the first one, though
Yeah ill have to agree with the silent hill franchise. The room's gameplay was different because it was originally meant to be a different game but I think they did alright, especially elaborating on the plot from SH2.
Homecoming however was just another shoot em up survival horror piece of crap like resident evil (which also started out good). And no offense to the americans on the forum but the audience are bored with the same old crap that their familiar with which is why they look overseas for new ideas but due to the mainstream public not willing to venture into unfamiliar territory & making up most of the profit contributors the big bosses have it watered down to the same old crap the american audience (& eventually the global audience) are sick of, defeating the purpose of looking abroard in the first place.
This was evident in the (Now regarded unofficial)sequel to the original metal gear on the NES where the first revolutionised the idea of stealth its sequel, snakes revenge, was just another shoot em like everything else on the shelves at that time. F*** I hate mainstream!

Why are we using quotes stolen from an old early 80's foreign movie called "Rage War"?Irridium said:
And as for it... Skyrim.
It hasn't come out yet.. and from screenshots, their bragging points, etc.. I can tell Bethesda has fully given up, said "Fudge it! Lets just rape our own lore and bring the dragons back AND make them bad guys" genirced out the world, and made Gothic 6: Skyrim.
Honestly, what was worse, those Fallout 1 and 2 losers-er... I mean Obsidian, made that AND NWN2, two games where they both pull "All your friends died, enjoy!" in KoToR II they effin kill ALL your favorite characters OFF SCREEN. OFF BLOODY SCREEN. in NWN 2 (Yet another bioware game Obsidian ruined... Realizing a pattern here with them and ruining other companies franchise's/games ?) you end the game with "Rocks fall on your party and you all are buried and killed. THE END!Vykrel said:
Modern Warfare 2, in my opinion, it was horrifically handled for several reasons;
1) Campaign lacks the same immersion; sure it looks pretty, but I really disliked the plot; it lacked the plot twists of CoD4 (come on, Shepard was way too obvious; he looks and sounds evil) and skipped around too much.
2) Multiplayer was as unbalanced.
3) Spec Ops was really badly handled; there was a lot of potential in it, but they copy-pasted far too many maps. Plus it could have easily been 4-player.
4) Most of my other reasons can be found here, in this rather humorous video -

Edit: Also every Pokemon game since the series moved onto the DS: I don't know why, but they just don't feel right anymore, plus I hate the DS's shape because it makes my hands stiff.

Final Fantasy 12- This game is basically an MMO that decided at the last minute that it wanted to be an offline RPG: The two lead characters are so bad they make me wish i was playing as Tidus (And he's on my list of most Despised characters ever, so that's pretty damned bad) with neither of them having absolutely no fucking motivation for sticking around with the party to fulfill the main quest (Every other party member had a reason or motivation for carrying through with the main quest, Vaan and panello just seemed to tag along for no reason other then the fact they got bored), the setting is completely uninspiring and bland, the plot is...dull to say the least as is the lead antagonist, the combat seems more like a fucking MMO then a Final Fantasy game.
Overall: It had some positive points, but the negatives let it down to the point i couldn't even finish it.

I really enjoyed the room, it provided a what most sequels need, a change from the previous game. I'd probably view it as 'meh' if I was playing through another game like 2 or 3 just because it showed they were afraid of new ideas.EmperorSubcutaneous said:
The backtracking is bad sure, but The Room itself was a genious concept. It gives you a place that acts as a safe haven for you when you're scared, albeit a claustrophobic and creepily silent one, then the game turns it on its head as the game worlds bleed into the apartment via the hauntings.

On topic: The worst sequel I have played was probably Far Cry 2. I didn't know about crysis at this point (mainly a console gamer until recently), so when I bought it I was expecting an actual sequel to the first game. I was expecting another action packed adventure against mutants and stuff, instead I found myself playing a very dull, very brown fps with added malaria.

I've heard a lot of people saying its the shift in gameplay that is DA2's deal breaker, but to be honest, the lack of character development and the godawful plot ruined it for me.
A Grand Theft Auto styled RPG could work (set in one city, building your reputation and funds etc) but this was simply not how to go about it. There's little overhanging story- in fact, the main conflict at the end of the game is little more than a footnote through the early parts and is tied to the earlier part of the game so clumsily, I nearly stopped right at the final battle.
As for Anders.... well... how absurd do you think that fucking plot element would've been if Hawke had been in a relationship with him for 3 years, and was living with him?
It all hinges on the game banning you from asking what the fuck he doing.
You just might be the only person in the world who cares about Pre-Morrowind Elder Scrolls lore.WhiteTiger225 said:
On topic: I was going to say Mass Effect 2, and something about how dumb the Collectors were, but some of these other candidates made me put things in perspective...
