Most Unnecessary Games

[powercall]

dragonball raging bone- I mean ass- I mean blast - I mean game that focuses on rehashing a story thats been beaten to death more than mario and should've ended with Z! I mean the entire gameplay for most of the trophies has a redundancy theme to them. I only liked the what if scenarios and to put the cherry on top I enjoyed reading the text logs and listining to (most)of the character intros. Thats right i enjoyed reading the game intead of playing the buggy mess.

Oh and the game title is Dragonball: Raging Blast
whoa.. better calm down before I have a heart attack.

Pokemon Battle Revolution.

I thought it'd be cool to see my Pokemon in 3D with cool looking fights, but the moves look cheap and interchangable. There was just no effort put into it. It was more entertaining to watch them in 2D on the DS. At least that has some charm to it.

I would say most of the GTA Games after 3.

You're kidding. Every GTA game after 3 was a huge success.

I've never played it but there's a little bucketload of failure called "Desert Bus".

I'd have to disagree. Look how much money it's raised for charity!

Who the hell thought this was a good idea?

Any DS game based off of a tv show. Even worse than movie games.

I don't think I understand the question. Don't we all play games for fun, making them unnecessary by definition (well, except from maybe relaxing and preventing burn-out)? And as such, isn't the most important metric that a games is either fun or interesting, regardless of whether it's completely similar to another game you have already played (or a straight port in the case of chrono trigger there)? I could understand some of the mentions above, of games that are simply bad or no fun for the one playing them, but then, why play them at all?

Fable. No achievements makes me sad.

I'm going to say this piece of crap:

i bought one of those things for 7 pounds about 11 years back... memories...

all the lego games

Gaspards no! I had all sorts of good times with Chewbacca ripping Lego men's arm off.

Far Cry 2 HANDS DOWN. 90% percent of game time was driving, and enemies in the same cars could go faster than you, so you would have to stop and kill them, fix your car, the go and do it again 10 times before you reached your objective...horrible horrible game

The title of this thread is the Most Unnecessary Games, where the bad ones likely didn't even need to exist, and the better ones may even have been really good if they hadn't been sequels or expansions and the like.

Additional, any game that are rereleased more than once or rereleased after only a few years.

all the lego games

-GASP!- I beg to differ.

I'd have to say the Pokemon game where you make them run and race.

As in not needed? then im going with the DS zelda games, windwaker ended really well and we dont need that jack sparrow wanabe.

As in should not exist? then the burger king games.

 

[DarkDain]

Shadow the hedgehog.

 

[Zeromaeus]

Who the hell thought this was a good idea?

But you could get Jirachi.
IF YOU OWNED THE MOTHER-FUCKING PAL VERSION!!!
...
Sorry. I played through that entire game expecting a Jirachi and got shit in return.

Oh, and Shadow the Hedgehog.
