The Top 11 Most Disappointing Sequels Ever

As games become more expensive to make, the big publishers are more likely to play it safe; they’ll stick to what they know will sell and usually that means sequels. Now, most don’t mind a lot of sequels, even annualized releases, if they manage to maintain a certain level of quality. Outside of the usual fanboy complaints from people who weren’t going to play these games anyway...

Well you know what they say, good things come to those who wait! lol

MK 3 was legit man. Other than that I agree.

acemonkey4899d ago

MvC3 should be in there and im going to get alot of trolls and hate and disagree with this next game, that im going to say.......Saints Row2 yes the co-op made the game good....but i missed the MP the first one had...i loved running around pimp slapping fools lol....i miss the Clan turn into Gangs....but they drop the ball with only two MP modes...even fans of Saints Row could agree or disagree just my opinion...but deep down they know Saints row was overall better....but adding co op in the 2sec game was a good idea but i miss the MP modes

MvC3 was very disappointing. (and im a big fan which makes it worse for me)

Try Tatsunoko vs Capcom on wii. Its very very good

Def Jam Icon! Fight for New York is still one of my favorite games. I remember when Icon was about to release. I thought the graphics were too good to be true. The only thing holding me back was that I was waiting for a video about "blazing moves" I remember I had did some extra chores to convince my mom that I really wanted that game.

So pop the game in. Wait, it's only two player.. Alright. Wait, you fight with the sticks? Hmm....There's no blazin moves?! Weak!....No slamming each other into environments?! Awww.. After I beat the game and played more of it, within a month, I gave it back to game crazy when they were in business.

Very disappointed and anxious to see their next move.

They have a trailer to a Def Jam fighting game so I'm hoping for the best

Did anyone actually expect Duke Nukem Forever to be good? I guess when i think of the word "disappointing" i think of something that people expected to be good and just wasn't.

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds881d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Starman69881d ago

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3881d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese881d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits880d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.

Well it almost killed Metroid so…

PhillyDillyDee1126d ago

Yeah we all loved how you took a stoic badass and turned her into a whiny shrew. All those writers should be sacked.

H91126d ago

I mean it was a killer

Terry_B1126d ago

Sometimes, I doubt that Reggie was that great for Nintendo after all.

2D Metroid Retrospective: Bring on the Remakes

VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "The early-mid 2000s saw something of a golden age for Metroid games. After an eight year hiatus, Metroid burst back onto the scene in dramatic fashion. Largely buoyed by the critical and financial success of Metroid Prime (at least, relative to other Metroid releases), Metroid saw a whopping six new titles between 2002 and 2007, as well as one rather bizarre pinball spin-off that wound up being much better than it had any right to be. Metroid had never been this popular before."

Never though the day would come where I say this but I’d be fine with having every 2D Metroid remade the way Dread plays.

INMATEofARKHAM1345d ago

I just want them all in the Switch.
