Amazing games that absolutely SHOULDN'T get/have got sequels

[Kenko]

The Godfather. I really liked the first one, it was relativley close to the movies and stuck to the setting pretty good and was fun to play.

The Godfather 2 however was like number 1's retarded ugly cartoon cousin. It's just plain f***ing awful, theres no describing how angry I got when I played it, so dissapointed.

Its been said to death, but Bioshock. Didnt care for the sequel.

InFamous, Dragon Age, XCOM/UFO shouldn't have got/get a sequel, or at least, they deserved better.
The InFamous and Dragon Age sequels actually are not quite bad, but for me, both of it ruined their predecessors with uninteresting storyline and/or unnecessary innovations.
Ugh, and speaking of unnecessary "innovations", the new XCOM not even out, but literally destroyed the old XCOM franchise. I hate to judge something I didn't even try, but to alter this horrible, like the XCOM: Enemy Unknown, it's nothing, just a betrayal of the fans.

command and conquer. I love the franchise, but tiberian sun was soo terrible. i would like a nice remake of the first one though. and a good version of renegade

Games that shouldn't get a sequel:

MW3 (For the love of Science, please no more)

Nice fantasy world you got there. It would be a shame if something happened to it.

Anyway, you're missing the point. The topic is amazing games that shouldn't have gotten a sequel, and I seriously doubt that anybody would honestly profess their love for COD on this forum.

I realize you said "various reasons" but I guess I'm just nitpicking. Perhaps Yahtzee is getting to me...

More OT: If people are suggesting that Red Dead Redemption should not have a direct sequel, I agree wholeheartedly. Otherwise, wtf...

EDIT:

command and conquer. I love the franchise, but tiberian sun was soo terrible...

NOOO, I loved tiberian sun!!! What was wrong with it?? In fact, it's tied with Stronghold: Crusader as my favorite RTS! (I haven't played many)

Which brings me to: the Stronghold series. Several shoddy updates to that IP, indeed.

I'm going with Prototype. That game was just boring and bland beyond imagination and it had so much potential. I know plenty will disagree with me, but that's my vote.

 

[Phorkias]

I believe that Dragon Age Origins and NWN 1 shouldnt have gotten their awful sequels, they deserved better. I would have included Kotor 1 with it's sequel but it wasn't actually that bad, just needed a bit of fixing up =/

But NWN2 was absolutely great :| (I actually force myself to play the first one, as it was nothing like the games Bioware was doing since then).

LittleBigPlanet.
Seriously, why did they need to make a second one?
They seemed utterly content with updating via DLC before hand.
So why couldn't they just have done that instead?
Besides i liked LBP 1 and didn't like LBP 2.

The changes made upon LBP1 were pretty massive, in such a way that absolutely every element in the game got a revamp right down to the basics. If you look at the finer details in the new create mode you'd see that it would have been a pretty momentous task to change all of it through mere updates.

The dislike for LBP2 is probably due to all the gimmicky levels. I only started playing LBP2 very recently because we're finally starting to see some decent levels that aren't just silly retro-clones of things. If you still own the game keep an eye out because some of the levels that are starting to pop up are absolutely amazing.

Oh and yeah LBP2's story mode sucks It's mostly just as showcase for new things ~

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

oh god prepare for a list of every game ever..there are so many people who are close to having "phobia's" for sequels/add ons, so prepare to see every game listed ever.


OT: If i was to really really really not want a second game..

objectively from TFU2, as the story had ended and they twisted its arm in such a bad way that star wars now has a permanent indian burn from it.

 

[crop52]

Assassin's creed.

lolololololol get it?

Everybody needed to find just one reason to hate AC1. The repetitiveness.
We all thought that the assassin's creed franchise would never work itself out of that mess, that it would just float away and be forgotten.

Then Ubisoft hit the gaming industry like a fucking asteroid.


Edit: I apologize if this post seemed at all pretentious or douchey too you. I've been awake for over 20 hours, and I guess it's effecting my ability to stop myself from being a douche.

Yeah, that's probably where my hatred of LBP2 came from, i mean, i liked the changes, but it didn't capture the spark that the first game had.
But i might see what new levels have popped up.
Haven't been on it in a while.
And what is it with the PS3 and user-generated content?
Infamous 2 has it now.

 

[spartandude]

Portal, dont get me wrong portal 2 was good but i just think portal was and should have been a stand alone thing

im not sure about Bioshock, its a game where i dont care too much about having seaquals or not, i mean Bioshock 2 was good but not amazing however that doesnt mean that bioshock shouldnt havnt gotten a seaqual and tbh Infinite looks amazing

Dunno but I have no complaints

It is a bit dude, go to sleep

OT:

I honestly think that Crysis should have stayed stand alone.

 

[Rathands]

I would say any Kingdom Hearts game after the first sequel. I love that franchise so much, it breaks my heart to see Square Enix whore it out continually. Oh, and Portal. Not a joke, the first game was damn near perfect in all aspects but the second just felt unnecessary and bloated. I suppose it doesn't help that Wheatley rather spoiled it for me.

 

[PickledMonkey]

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time needed no sequel.
Anyone else remember The Warrior Within?

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

Although I'm glad that It did at first.
I don't think Halo should have got sequels.
Halo 2 and 3 drew the series to a logical conclusion.

But now with Reach, ODST, Wars and another 3 on the way.
It doesnt need this. It should have ended with at the least 1 and at the most 3 and gone down in history.

Duke Nukem 3D

I think I just won

Oh ya you defiantly just won.

 

[sonic500]

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.
Ive got a funny felling if they made a sequl to this they mess it up.
they probly turn it into a resi clone.

 

[Aphantas]

I am going to have to say Bioshock 2 as well. Bioshock 2 was definitely made for the money seeing as Bioshock 1 had no sequel hook, and your character was what was considered to be the coolest character in the game at the time, but at least it was a good game.
God of War, Prince of Persia, Halo, in fact many beloved franchises are like Bioshock 2, good games but wholly unnecessary to the story at the time.
