Most disappointed sequel?

Mass Effect 3: I loved ME2 to bits and had very high expectations for ME3, but it just had to many flaws (auto dialog, drive by quests, making cerberus the main villain) and then the ending mess happened. Additionally the game failed to tie the trilogy together for me.
Gothic 3: The game was just broken and disappointed me so hard after the awesome and super immersive Gothic 1+2
Dragon Age 2 just took a major step back from its predecessor in every conceivable way.
Out of curiosity whats the "Aveline exploit"? And how do you exploit Healers? I found all the Healing spells utterly useless with their insanely long cooldowns compared to how fast damage is dealt in that game.

You are right that the combat needs quite a bit of tactic (right skills on your chars, using CCC's etc.) and at times even seems slightly harder that Origins, but its just so ridiculously unbalanced (Assassin's, damage beats everything, Arishok duel) that I can't call it good.Feylynn said:

X-2 wasn't so bad*, I just feel like they went a little too far down the girly route, it didn't make much sense to me because you cut that out and it's a solid FF game yet they decided to alienate a portion of their audience in a misguided attempt to win over young girls.Miss G. said:

Mafia 2.
It wasn't a bad game, but it was a terrible sequel. And you could see how much content was cut from a mile away. It was so obvious. They had all that time and it still felt like a rushed job. And the saddest part is that while you're playing it you can feel all the missed potential. It was heartbreaking.

Yep. I actually did a gameplay survey for RA3 about 3 months before it came out. I ripped it a new one so much that I ended up talking to one of the EA reps after the survey for about 20min. Out of the 25 people in the room who played about 10min of game play only myself and 2 other guys were what they called Hardcore RTS players. All 3 of us were brutal in our responses and attitude toward the game. So after all the newbies and novices left they came around from the one way glass and we all talked about what we disliked and the few things we liked. When the game came out I wasn't touching it until I saw reviews and determined if they fixed anything, they did but really minute things. So I got $100 out of it and saved the money I would have spent on it because I had been looking forward to it.llagrok said:
It's still an amazing game. Obviously a lot of gameplay mechanics are outdated and it's 2 generations behind graphically. But it's not ugly or boring. And the story is just incredible. It's set in the prohibition era. To this day I can safely say that I've never experienced a better crime drama in a video game. Even the stories in GTA don't have that level of maturity and character development.SpunkeyMonkey said:
One awesome gameplay mechanic is the way ammo works. If you reload your weapon before you empty the magazine, you'll lose the ammo that remained in that magazine. The game forces you to treat weapons as real things. So they feel more real. And also weapons feel different from each other. Which is exactly how guns in real life work. You can't just pick up any weapon and expect it to feel the same way as the one you just used. Each has it's own advantages and disadvantages.
Now I want to play it again.
Far cry 2. Oh it was fun at times and pretty all round. Until you realised that you spent 3/4 of the game driving around and sprinting around. There was no autosave ( For the 360 version anyway )and you could easily lose up to an hour's progress by not finding a save station.
Thank goodness they removed the excessive travelling and put in a quick travel feature for Far Cry 3, which is extremely fun.

Dragon Age 2: When i think of disappointing sequels, this immediately comes to mind.
Dbz Budokai Tenkaichi: Coming after the still to this day awesome Budokai 3, I remember me and others in boarding school being all excited for this game...Then we played it and everyone walked out after 10 mins, we were all so disgusted with this game.
Masters of Orion 3: Spreadsheet space empire simulator. Way to suck the fun out of an awesome premise.

Oh in the Escapist, you have to give detailed answers or explanations to your points to FACILITATE DISCUSSION. Thus Single sentence answers are punishable it seems. Basically Explain all your things and you'll be finellagrok said:
I really enjoyed Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3 and Fable 3... So my opinions here will probably count for shit, but I've seen Destroy All Humans 2 mentioned and I'll have to go with that. The first one was so much fun, I can't even describe the fun. But the second one sucked, especially when it came to the disguises. The comedy wasn't so great, either.
I found Splinter Cell Conviction to be a let down, too. Not just due to gameplay but Ironside's voice wasn't up to scratch, either. I enjoyed the gameplay, up to a point.

Mass Effect 2,3. I wanted more RPG elements instead i got dude-bro shooter with terrible story and ending.
Fable 3 one of the worst games i played in a LONG time. It has NO redeeming qualities, just boring shitfest with poorly designed characters, world and pacing.

GTA IV.
Always loved GTA, but IV was just boring. The missions were boring, the world was boring, the cars were boring, the weapons were boring.

I didn't like that you couldn't kill people anymore with PK. My favorite method was bashing humans against stuff (repeteadly) and that stopped dealing damage. Hell you can't even kill them by dropping stuff on them. They robbed the PK and the game of the stuff I really liked, which was messing around with the Havok engine. The sequel isn't a bad game, just a bit disappointing.Syzygy23 said:
