Top 5 Worst Game Sequels of All Time

When a new game comes out that thrills and excites the focus immediately shifts to a sequel. Some game sequels are rushed, unplayable disasters which are a blatant attempt on cashing in off the reputation of the original. Here I list my top 5 biggest disappointments, would any of these be in your top 5?

I really liked super mario 2...

and I don't know why Zelda II isn't on there...

MadLad4158d ago

Zelda II wasn't a bad game, but I would definitely call it the weakest of the series.

Stringerbell4158d ago

Bro those Phillips Cdi games. Never forget!

abzdine4157d ago

EyePet an Friends should be number one! that sequel is garbage the first one was amazing.

Prime1574157d ago (Edited 4157d ago )

Maio was still finding it's image and gameplay back then. I agree, I loved super Mario 2.

What a lot of people, probably even this author, don't realize is that this was doki doki panic that wasn't even originally supposed to come out on NES, but on famicom system.

deafdani4158d ago

Lol, Mario 2 is actually a damn good game, no matter if it was a reskin of another game. It's actually my favorite Mario game of the NES / SNES eras.

Not to mention that the author posted a Mario 1 picture, not a Mario 2 pic... and that "boss" that throws eggs isn't a boss, and it's Birdo (fun fact: it was incorrectly called "Ostro" in the end credits, if I remember correctly).

Anyway, the game it was "ripped off" from (Doki Doki Panic) was a Miyamoto game, and he had much more input on that game than the actual Mario 2 released in Japan (which we came to know as The Lost Levels). Because of this, it could be argued that the "rip off" was more of a Mario game than the true sequel. :P

Yodagamer4158d ago

Heck Doki Doki was actually started as a prototype of mario bros 2 and was canceled until they were instructed to use the characters they had in doki doki. So like you said it's more of a sequel. Mario Lost Levels was just an expansion pack imo.

Dasteru4158d ago

The Doki Doki version of Mario bros 2 is more a pre-release spin off, Lost levels is the true Mario bros 2 as was released in Japan. They only released the Doki doki one in NA because they thought Americans couldn't handle the difficulty of the actual Mario bros 2.

pkb794158d ago

yeah I cant believe people can make a living writing that dribble. And how could he be a Xbox fan who bought a ps2 for 'devil my cry' when that game was released in Aug 2001 and Xbox came out in Nov 2001? I smell bull shit.

Krimmson4158d ago

Not only that but also shows bad grammar.
"Duke Nukem should of made the list too."

Seriously, why do so many people mix should have and should of? Should of doesn't even make any sense.

SuicidalTendencies4157d ago

Agreed. The most hilarious part of the garbage article is that he considers Super Mario 2 a bad sequel only because he was a wuss and afraid of the game when he was younger. I played it when I was kid and loved it.

Mikefizzled4158d ago

God Hudson Soft brought out some dire games for the 360 early on. Bomberman Act Zero being the worst of the bunch.

MadLad4158d ago

Act Zero is an abomination to gaming.

LKHGFDSA4158d ago

leave it to an Xbox exclusive to be an abomination to gaming.

MadLad4158d ago

There are a many, many terrible games and Microsoft has nothing to do with it.

CrossingEden4158d ago

ffs, Some people just can't go two minutes without making a fanboy remark. -_-

DMC2 ranked 2nd and also DmC ranked 3rd?
What a load of BS!

ABizzel175d ago

IMO

6. DMC2 6/10
5. DMC4 7.5/10 (Hated Nero, repeat bosses, Dante was the saving grace but only about half the game)
4. DmC 7.5/10 (solid overall, some great ideas, meh story, dialog sucked, and the director almost killed DMC)
3. DMC1 8.5/10 (all around solid)
2. DMC5 9/10 (carried by Dante & Nero gameplay, I didn’t like V’s, Nero’s better but still not a fan)
1. DCM3 10/10 (chef’s kiss)

Vits75d ago

Well, it worked.

This nothingburger of a opinion article got a lot of views and comments.

Pyrofire9575d ago

WHAT!? who in their right mind would put 2 near the top (not at the bottom) unironically?
I think all of them are worth playing in their own right honestly, except 2 unless you REALLY want to experience the whole series.

FinalFantasyFanatic74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

I honestly don't know what the author was smoking, personally I'd rank DMC3 as no.1, maybe DMC5 as second, DMC1 as third, DMC4 as fourth, and DMC as fifth and DMC2 last. such a bizarre list, mybe the author just has strange taste.

DMC2 anywhere but last is crazy. Awful list overall.

BlaqMagiq175d ago

"Devil May Cry 2 isn’t trash. It’s just misunderstood by a fanbase that doesn’t like change."

This and putting DMC 2 number 2 is all I need to ignore this ranking. DMC2 is absolute trash and it's clear this person doesn't understand exactly why.

Flenter75d ago

For me: 3,1,5,4,2 and then .....Dmc

fsfsxii75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

Why is DmC last? Genuinely curious.

lellkay75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

Dmc is far superior to DMC2 come on

generic-user-name75d ago

"almost 20-year-old series"

It's 24 years old.

Devil May Cry Games Sales Surge After Netflix Success

Sales of games in the Devil May Cry franchise have surged as a result of the new anime adaptation's success. DMC 4, DMC 5, and the DMC HD Collection have all reentered Steam's Global Top Sellers. Devil May Cry 5's player count jumped from around 2,000 concurrent players to just over 13,500 players in the span of a few days. Devil May Cry 4 and the Devil May Cry HD Collection have also seen similar sales boosts in the past week.

The success of the Devil May Cry anime adaptation—and to a lesser extent, the Onimusha TV series—serves as early proof the company's multimedia expansion strategy in action, showcasing how Capcom is leveraging its game IPs beyond consoles and into streaming platforms.

Lol, well... Better late than never, I suppose. It's a wonderful series. Devil May Cry V was truly something special (despite my small nitpick on the overuse of one particular level.) I still think it's probably the best action game ever made. Not sure if I'll check out the anime but I've been rocking with the games since the start of the series.

isarai80d ago

Deserved, DMC is peak hack and slash, and despite it's awareness, the sales numbers should be higher imo for what it does.

CrimsonWing6980d ago

I really was expecting to hate this show with Nero voicing Dante and all the changes they made, but cringe forced cussing aside, I really enjoyed the hell out of it.

Lexreborn280d ago

I am guilty as of yesterday lol I bought the HD collection on Playstation and the definitive edition of DmC for 20 bucks yesterday. Granted, I already own them on PC and Physically and just wanted a convenient spot because I was planning on doing a sit down at the TV playthrough with my son.

Then I realized I could just use my Asus rog(offline mode) and Steamdeck we play our own games at the same time. And I give him tips as we play through them. I will likely do DmC on the PS4 though because that doesn't play the best on steamdeck. Otherwise we would play in my office on my ps5 pro or gaming desktop. That is to cluttered though....

Anyways, I'm super excited to go home and play DMC1 with my son tonight!

He just misspoke and said 6 instead of 5 when talking about the game after the failed reboot.

The real leak/tease is the vergil voice actor saying he voiced Vergil recently and had to voice him younger.

Levii_9285d ago

Holy shit i haven't heard of this.. DMC3 Remake?? Oh god yes please.
