Bad Gaming Sequels

[Leemaster777]

I'm surprised Final Fantasy X-2 hasn't been mentioned more than once already. I hate that game with a burning, unrelenting passion.

It's like Nomura went into the game saying, "Hey, you know all that good stuff about 10? The interesting turn-based battles and the complex, thought-provoking story? Yeah, lets just piss on that, and put all the girls in skimpy outfits. Cause that sells, right?".

I mean, yeah, a good sequel SHOULD change a few things, but this game just feels completely at odds with the original. Plus, it just feels cheap. Almost all the areas from the first game are re-used shamelessly, a good chunk of the enemies are also re-used (including the unforgiveable sin of re-using bosses), and the final boss was not only a let-down, but AGAIN, it was a re-used character model.

But the most annoying thing about it is that it's completely and totally pointless. I LOVED 10's ambiguous, non-fairy tale ending. It let you fill in the blanks yourself. But this one just throws all that away, in favor of telling a crappy, disjointed story.

...damn, it felt good to get that rant out of my system.

Final Fantasy Barbie Dress up...I mean X-2 is hands down the worst sequel ever made when you compare it to the original but the problem with mentioning it in this forum means that we are acknowledging its existence.

Square-enix doesnt make FF sequels therefore by standard logic X-2 does not exist. Not the best logic in the world but it helps me sleep at night.

Not the best logic in the world? I say it's the BEST logic. That game DESERVES to be forgotten. That way, I can still pretend that FFX's ending was still ambiguous.

No More Heroes 2 was way worse than the first imo.

I'll agree. Sure, I love both, but No More Heroes 1 actually had an ending. So that one wins.

Dirge of Cerberus, if that counts. It didn't really have shit to do with FF7, but whatever.

If it doesn't, Godfather 2, the game. The only issue was that there was more shit to do in Godfather 1.
