Games that should have never existed.

-Every Call of Duty,after 3: Dead horse cash cow franchise. Let it STAY DEAD.

Modern Warfare (1) kicked off an entire subgenre, and while admittedly that might not be a good thing, it was still a pretty good game, I thought. World at War was a step backwards, in that case, and everything after that has no real reason to exist, yeah.

OT: Uh...Never really played anything like that. Except maybe every multiplayer-focused game, once nobody is playing it anymore, should be pulled off shelves and digital distribution so nobody, consumer or developer, has to waste money on a multiplayer game nobody else plays. Case in point: Bad Company 2.

I'd have to bgo with Oblivion, it's just such a bland, badly written and poorly made game. It's a massive step down from what could have been one of the greatest RPG series ever but instead they just cut out everything that was unique and interesting from the series.

 

[Voulan]

Anyway, every single spyro after Year of the Dragon.
WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU SPYRO!?
*sobs*

I know! Especially Skylanders - just what the hell is that thing?

That is not a dragon. That is a purple, scaly toad. And don't even get me started on the stupid gameplay mechanic of buying toys to play it. It's a costly and ugly game.

Call of Duty 4 was amazing, its sequels were abominations. Bioshock 2 was fun and improved on Bioshock's combat, but should have been an add-on. Silent Hill Homecoming was another prime example of a game developer not understanding that Pyramid Head was purely a part of James Sunderland's psychosis and no one else should have been able to see him. Quake 2-4 (I know I'm gonna get some rage for this) sucked because it lost its theme which made Quake so harrowing. Left 4 Dead 2 should have been a series of updates for Left 4 Dead because L4D had better characters. The Force Unleashed 2 was fun, but should have been a $10 add on.

That's all I got.

Yeah yeah, we get it. It's the cool thing to hate on Call Of Duty. Think you people could just give it a fucking rest already?

I need to understand this. Do you really just not find it possible that there's a large demographic that hates Call of Duty, and instead think that it's just people trying to be "cool"?

Doom.

If it wasn't for this tid-bit of Shaitan spawn we would be living in a glorious paradise without legions of samey brown shooters draining the soul and creativity out of the gaming industry.

I think WoW also shouldn't have been made, not only because that it's completly ensures that no more Warcraft game will be made, ever. But also because of the huge amount of lost man-hours (yes, there are a lot of people who play way, waaaaayyyyy too much WoW), and also because now every MMORPG tries to copy it to ride on it's cashwave.

So in short short, WoW has destroyed Warcraft, several lifes of real people, and the entire MMORPG-genre. Yes, it shouldn't have been made.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Why was Riouchan suspended for giving his opinion?
Anyways, for me, it's gotta be Killer Instinct. Combos that finish themselves is kind of depressing

Every Spyro game released after Insomniac sold the rights in 2001.

They were some of the best games released on PS1 and pretty much my childhood, but Activision thought it would be okay to whore him around to every new developer it purchased to see what worked. Enter the Dragon fly, the first activision sequel, was made by a developer that had ONLY DONE PC CASINO GAMES. A hero's tail was made by a developer that only made Nickelodeon titles. Then they developed that lord of the rings knockoff deal with Elijah fucking wood. Now they sold it some toy company that is using it as the main draw to that SKYLANDERS system that seems to be in every Target in America. I dont even want to make games, but I am tempted solely out of the desire to make a game called

SPYRO 4: ALL THAT OTHER SHIT WAS JUST A CRAZY DREAM LETS GET BACK TO FLAMING GNORCS AND SHIT

 

[Bling1907]

Fallout: New Vegas. It looks like a re-release with little new elements. Simply could made as a DLC.

*raises eyebrow*
No... it really couldn't of been.
The game is huge, and great fun in my opinion.

Anyway, every single spyro after Year of the Dragon.
WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU SPYRO!?
*sobs*

I miss Spyro, it was my first PSOne game :/

Fallout: New Vegas. It looks like a re-release with little new elements. Simply could made as a DLC.

try it it makes FO3 look like a beta.
I would say any COD after WAW I liked WAW the campaign felt long and I had fun playing through it never played MW2 but did play BLOPS which felt short in comparison and from what I gathered it,s just the MW2 MP but with different maps.

I stopped CoD after 5, only because I liked the Nazi Zombies and nothing else.


Also damn, I'm still getting replies.

 

[lionsprey]

Patapon 3
okey actually a decent game but they should have made it a spin off and called it patapon Hero squad or something.

 

[mikey7339]

Every Final Fantasy after 7

8: So 7 had a little love triangle and tear-jerk moment in it so Square thought it would be good to go all-in and emo this game to the Nth degree.

9: Ok...Square saw their mistake with 8 and seemed to try to go backwards a step but again, went completely overboard and ended up with something that could not be taken seriously.

10: Completely re-writes the leveling system, making it disjointed and gimmicky, does away with the open world aspect and removes the damage cap...

10-2: Just, no...

11: WTF, an MMORPG?! So Square wanted to cash in on the EQ/WoW craze and decided to whore the series out.

12: Made somewhat of a redemption but went in a bad direction. Not being turn based is not Final Fantasy.

13: And the franchise is now completely dead...lauded as the worst in the game series for many good reasons.

Doom.

If it wasn't for this tid-bit of Shaitan spawn we would be living in a glorious paradise without legions of samey brown shooters draining the soul and creativity out of the gaming industry.

We wouldn't have shooters period if it wasn't for Id making Doom and Wolfenstein. We damn sure wouldn't have Half-life or Half-life 2 or Portal because their would have been no engine for Valve to work with to make Half-Life and no Half-Life=No Valve. Lay the blame where it belongs with Unreal and the engines they make.

 

[putowtin]

Fable II and III,
The Force Unleashed II,
these games made me weep

Fable: The Jorney is spin-off just wait for the Fable 4

why is it gonna be worse?

 

[Fourspaces]

A sequel to Sonic Rush should exist, but it should be better than it is.

 

[razor343]

Since I'm not seeing it on the first page, I guess it's safe to call it now.

ArcaniA: A Gothic Tale

After the argument between Jowood and Piranha Bytes over Gothic 3, the series should've just stopped. No new studio could capture the magic created by G1, 2, NOTR. And that tiny shred of magic retained by Gothic 3, which in my opinion was an experiment gone wrong, and Jowood/PB could be forgiven for that, but then to allow a new studio to rape the series completely is unforgivable.

 

[Wamble]

Assassins Creed shouldn't exist, and Assassins Creed 2 should become Assassins Creed 1 and Brotherhood become 2.

Prince of Persia the 2008 game. it felt stiff in comparison to all the other pop games out there.

 

[RachaelIsaacHill]

Command & Conquer 4, the game that singlehandedly killed one of my most beloved gameseries. "Let's improve the gameplay by getting out all the fun parts like basebuilding and gathering resources and limit the amount of units you can have in a mission!" Yeah that worked like a charm... NOT!

I bought that game before I realized they'd done that. Also, I had the black screen bug on opening. I never bothered fixing it. Thanks, C&C 4, for being nothing but a pure waste of 25 bucks. I had such fond memories of that series from my childhood too...

 

[LordXel]

TOO HUMAN! NUFF SAID!

Duke Nukem Forever. That game should never have been released so it can go down in gaming history as this incredible myth.

Sonic 06. However I am sort of glad they made so many bad Sonic games so they can learn from their mistakes. Without Sonic 06 we properly wouldn't have the fantastic Sonic Generations. (buyitbuyitbuyitbuyitbuyit)

Bioshock 2 and Force Unleashed 2. Unnecessary sequels are unnecessary, however Bioshock Infinite looks promising. I think I just contradicted the unnecessary sequel line. Oops

Soul Calibur Legends. A sad way of saying: "Sorry we can't make a Wii port of Soul Calibur 4, but heres a spin-off with that guy from Tales of Symphonia in it."

MadWorld. Soooooooooooooooooo repetitive.

Red Steel. Abyssmal! You can get the second game and ignore this one, of course the second game was just mediorce at best to me. Still at least the second Red Steel was slightly fun.

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

Worst games in history:
Call of Juarez: The Cartel
E.T. for the Atari
Limbo of the Lost
Duke Nukem Forever
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
Mario's Time Machine

 

[fenrizz]

I'm gong to have to say GTA IV.

Not that it is a bad game, it's actually pretty good.
But for me it marks the end of an era, the end of fun GTA and the entrance to a new kind of darker, grittier GTA.

I still have hopes for GTA V, but with the success of GTA IV I doubt it.


Also, Leisure Suit Larry Magne Cum Laude and Box Office Bust.
Just why? Why did they do such a thing?
