Resistance 2. The first game had a very outer limits aliens invading feel to it but at the same time felt very world war 2ish. A lot of stages had a D-day feel and others had believable city areas and countryside with pauses breaking up the games combat as you explore the aliens bases. The chimera were a bit mysterious. It wasn't the best game ever but I found it very atmospheric. The second game was the complete opposite. everything was high-tec and you were part of some elite squad instead of just another soldier trying to survive. There was little to remind you it was suppose to take place in the 50's and from what I remember it really felt like year 2020 or something. The entire atmosphere created by the first game was gone. To make it worse time fastforwards a few times to destroy your sense of whats going on and leaves you feeling disconnected. The gameplay itself was also a lot more generic but I won't go into that because I'm sure everyone knows by now how Insomniac messed that up. Basically Resistance was a series with potential that was crushed by the second game. No one really wants a third game now.

Yup I agree with you on Resistance 2 the first game was so good its a shame.

Desperados 2, Red Alert 3, Gothic 3, hmm, there seems to be a pattern

 

[StoneHeart]

So it seems we pretty much agree.
Sequels tend to be the biggest source of let downs

 

[Paragon Fury]

Recently? Alpha Protocol.

 

[Grey_Focks]

Crackdown 2. The first game was great...how could they fuck it up so badly!?!?

 

[StoneHeart]

Recently? Alpha Protocol.

Any game you ever played

 

[DragoonX13]

Recently? Alpha Protocol.

This.

 

[StoneHeart]

I got to say I'm not too surprised about Alpha Protocol.
It seemed to be selling itself a little too much

Fable 2. Every part of it. ESPECIALLY the finall boss and sh*t-awful story.

MW2 with all the hackers and whatnot. Campaign didn't explain anything about the end of MW either.

Yeah I didn't follow the MW2 story. I didn't even try. I got it for the MP

I gotta go with spore, the early game build looked so cool, I with they had released it like that.


Seriously, if you have half an hour to kill, watch this video, this is what Spore was shaping up to be in 2005.

Compare that to what we got.

 

[StoneHeart]

That was Spore before it was released?
Wow
