We get lots and lots of video game sequels these days – some good, some bad – but there are some really terrible ones out there that nobody asked for. Here are 10 that come to mind.
Saad from eXputer: "After suffering from massive financial hits, Square Enix & Bandai Namco appear to be turning over a new leaf but I'm still unconvinced."
I was talking about games with some Japanese guys here in Japan, and it seems like around here Bandai Namco has a fame of making low-quality games, with the occasional gem.
About Square Enix, I believe they lack the capacity to improve. They should learn with Capcom (although even Capcom still makes some bad mistakes), but I don't think they ever will. They keep chasing whatever is new at the time (blockchain, AI...) to say "we innovate", without considering the public perception and if these things actually improve the games or not. Them releasing too many small games with no advertising also shows a lack of trust in its own products. Even with their biggest games, like turning FF into an action game with XVI and the very divisive plot changes regarding whispers and timelines in VII Remake, shows them trying to attract a new generation of gamers without understanding what made the series so big in the first place.
I don’t know why NOW they decide on this, but I guess later is better than never.
Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected
Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.
Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.
Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?
Trading scams are a common occurrence in Fallout 76. Be on the lookout for certain camp elements that make them stand out and never respond to someone telling you to come back.
I’m sure nobody was asking for Mega Man 2, Street Fighter 2, Assassin’s Creed 2, Red Dead Redemption, TimeSplitters 2, Dynasty Warriors 3, Grand Theft Auto 3, Tomb Raider: Legend, Killzone 2, Red Steel 2, Just Cause 2, Borderlands 2, Watch Dogs 2, Titanfall 2, Twisted Metal 2, or Saints Row 2 because the first game or the game prior proved to be either divisive or unmemorable. Yet the world is better for all these sequels that nobody would’ve initially wanted existing.
Several of the listed games aren't sequels, but fans wanted more entries of their favorite series. However, the majority of the games listed in the article didn't live up to fan and critic expectations.
I loved FFXIII but imo it didn't need a sequel & it definitely didn't need a trilogy.
FF13-2 was actually great, but we didnt need another one after it
