Paracite Eve. The first one was great the second one was awful. Not storywise but the controles made that game impossible for me to play. Looking forward to the third one though. Hopefully the controls won't suck on that one.
Favourite game with a crummy sequel

That gravity gun was a novelty. I got bored of it after the game made me play a game of bloody catch with it.psivamp said:
There was one bit towards the end where you have to kill 2 big sisters and I turned it off for about a week. Came back and played it through just to get an even worse ending than the bad ending of the original Bioshock.JBGigas said:

OT: Dungeon Siege to Dungeon Siege 2 plus its expansion...
WHY DID YOU DO THAT! dungeon siege was a AWESOME hack&slash party RPG,everything about it was perfect,music graphics (for its time),gameplay all 100% on the money spot on awesome!
...then number 2 comes along,not only do they dumb it down.they add a poorly implemented talent tree system,stupid forgettable characters/party members,and make part of the game only accessible IF YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC CHARACTER THAT YOU PROBABLY DUMPED BACK AT THE BLOODY START!
why would you DO THAT!?!? the dungeon siege series was supposed to be about dungeon crawling and exploring the areas you were in. they cant even get that right seeing as you spend barely and time DUNGEON CRAWLING which is the POINT of the GAME! the story isnt even that interesting,oh NOW im some sort of descendant from this group or something...there is the sword and shield and they are so powerful they made the word explode if the tap each other...now you got to stop someone from making them explode...again...yay? how is this a good story again,when its not even executed properly? and now 3 is coming out...have you seen the "trailer" its the same stupid story line about the useless sword and board,and all they show is a tree...a bloody tree,not even some action in there or anything...its just a tree...failure >.>
Finally someone who mentions the gothic series! "Gothic 2: the Night of the Raven" was imho the best part of the series. It all went downhill from there...stormtrooper9091 said:
Definitely one of the most underrated game series, in my opinion.
Yes, I immediately thought of Gothic 3 as I saw the thread, the game was nothing more than a big disappointment.
Brave Fencer Musashi ----> Musashi: Samurai Legend
The first was fun through its quirky nature of things (a kingdom named after food?). The story wasn't all that bad either, and had some funny and epic moments ("Hey, you forgot something!" if you know what I mean).
The sequel...eh...was it really Musashi? Sure, it had some interesting parts, but it took a totally different route than the original. Not to mention some of the voice actors and music were...ugh...I don't want to talk about that.

To me, X is the bad sequel in itself. Same with XIII, but I didn't have high hopes for it anyway.theginger said:
OT: Deus Ex: IW wasn't really that great. I haven't finished it yet, but I don't really think I want to.
COD 4: Modern Warfare was a step in the right direction for the series; a bit of stealth, a story with more than an ounce of intellect, and memorable design. And then the sequel came out. Ohhh...
pretty much... just can't wait for Avatar 2 and 3. Oh boy! -_-kromify said:
Bioshock. The first game was astoundingly good. Great writing, gameplay, and environment. The second one? there were just sooooo many immersion breakers in that game that brought it out of the realm of sci-fi and just made ridiculous in some cases. They just wanted to (sadly) profit off the first one popularity. It seemed just so sloppy...
Also, Sly Cooper 3. 1 and 2? just great. Amazing if you will. 3? really great beginning and end, but all the extra characters just didn't do it for me. I did love being a pirate tho...
Would have to be resistance 1, as resistance 2 was a bit of a disapointment. Maybe ratchet and clank as well, but i cant quite put my finger on when the series started to fail,
You're the first person I've seen compliment Homecoming. I've been hesitant to check it out because the reviews I've read have been so uniformly awful. I haven't played a SH since the numbered entries, but the numbered entries (except maybe 4) rank #1 in my favorite series of all time. Your post is the excuse I've been looking for to seek it out in a bargain bin.ABLb0y said:
I'll call it bad. For several reasons.Stammer said:
A) The team who made the first one (which was genius) wasn't involved.
B) The premise of the game (grown up little sisters, etc.) destroys continuity. You literally have to ignore the first game in order to accept the events of the second.
C) Adam collecting missions. Stupid, repetitive Adam collecting missions. I know you don't have to do them, but I play good, okay? All these stupid missions did was artificially lengthen the game. And at least in the first one, doing the "bad" thing netted you more Adam. In this one, the only reason to be "bad" was to shorten the game. If the developers know that the player will see playing less of their game as an incentive, that's a pretty good sign it's bad.
C) Cut scenes. They were almost nonexistent in the first game, but they were all over the place in this one. Don't take control away from me unless there's a good reason.
E) The existence of this game is aggressively unnecessary. Bioshock was fine without people coming and poking Andrew Ryan's corpse with a stick.
F) There is NO sense of mystery, and it has nothing interesting to say. It's not Bioshock. It's just a random story set in the same setting. It's fan fiction, and I hate fan fiction.
Sorry, that's not what this thread is about.
OT: Dino Crisis. The first game was a lot like the old Resident Evil games, except in a Jurassic Park-y setting. Campy killer dinosaur "horror" fun. The second was a weird top-down action game. The tone of the games couldn't have possibly been more different.
Twisted Metal 3. Good lord, this game. Twisted Metal 2 was amazing. My friends and I stayed up all night passing the controller around playing its co-op. We got it down to an art, where we could beat it without losing a single life. We heard about TM 3, and we were psyched. I went to get it... and it was absolutely terrible. Unplayable. Ugly character models, blocky isometric view, wonky driving mechanics. I'm still mad to this day.
Resident Evil 5. I liked the old RE games. I liked the reboot in 4. This game is just a generic action game. I felt like I was playing Gears of Evil.
Pretty much any Tomb Raider after 2. You know why.
Any Call of Duty after COD4. I got fooled twice, but BlOps is the first COD I haven't purchased, and I'll never purchase another one again. WaW and MW2 broke my heart.
Dungeon Keeper and DK2. The first one was a far better game than the second, despite the additional rooms and better graphics of the second. Dungeon Keeper 2 was an enjoyable game, but nowhere near as good as DK 1.
UFO: Enemy Unknown was also so much better than any of the XCOM games that followed it. In fact, the rest of the XCOM series just got worse and worse, with the nadir being the awful XCOM Interceptor. The was a slight uptick in quality after that, but it just wasn't enough. It would have been better had they just released the first and quit while they were ahead.
Bioshock 1 & 2 show this too. Bioshock 2 wasn't a bad game as such, it just couldn't hope to measure up to the first. Rapture really isn't as immersive the second time around, and being a Big Daddy just didn't work as well as being a soft, squishy normal human in the first one. In fact, being a Big Daddy doing Big Daddy things was what really killed the game for me. Despite owning the collector's edition, I still haven't finished it because it just hasn't been very engaging. It doesn't help that I hate escort and defense roles in any type of game, and that seems to be the main thing you're doing in Bioshock 2.
Oh, and I like Mass Effect 2, but Mass Effect 1 was definitely the better game in most repects.

I think most of that was because they felt they had to shoehorn in the wretched "Civil War" storyline from the 616 Universe. That story killed the last bit of love I had for Marvel and then "One More Day" pissed on the ashes of said love.Steve Butts said:
OT: I'd say Mike Tyson's Punchout!!!/Punchout Featuring Mr. Dream
It didn't have a sequel you say? Not officially, but Power Punch II was made to be the sequel to the classic boxing game until Nintendo saw how horrible it was and disowned it. Here's the Wiki article on it for those interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Punch_II
