The Most Disappointing Video Game Sequels - Part Two

Phil writes, "After coming up with six disappointing sequels in the inaugural edition of this series at the beginning of the year, it's time to take a look at six more. These are sequels to game franchises big, small, and everything in between. These might not be totally terrible games at all, but they were disappointments following up their predecessors. Once you've taken a look at the six games in this part of The Most Disappointing Video Game Sequels, tell the community your thoughts on the game sequels you were most burned by in the comments."

I didn't like where the the dead space series went with part 3. As part of the story, it stunk. However, if it were to be a standalone action game as a new IP, it would not have been all that bad.

Mass effect 2, Bayo 2, mario galaxy 2, bioshock 2, fallout 4.

Phil322637d ago

Bayonetta 2 and Mario Galaxy 2 weren't to your liking, mikeslemonade? Galaxy 2 is a big surprise to me, as I consider that my favorite 3D Mario. Then again, all of this is subjective anyway! :)

What Happened To The Dead Rising Series?

Over the last week, Jake has been going back to the Dead Rising 2 Off The Record remaster and has been an absolute blast. When he was 15 he first got his Xbox 360 and Dead Rising with it, it was unlike any other experience. It made him wonder though, what happened to the Dead Rising series.

Interesting timing. This retrospective was released just a few days ago: https://youtu.be/Et-cKSrWuc...

Darksonic221393d ago

Ah no, I just felt like writing it as I started playing the game again and wanted to offer up my opinions 😁

InklingGirl1392d ago

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the title.

Complacency and new teams who didn't understand what made the series special.

Darksonic221392d ago

Seems like there was just a ton of infighting aswell and so many more issues. Honestly sadly Dead Rising 5 before it was cancelled sounded nothing like dead rising, nothing learnt from. Dr4 at all.

ColdSin1392d ago

DR4 should have not been made anyways. DR3 closed everything nicely.

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad1392d ago

They're a solid channel. I always click on their vids, unless it's a series/game I simply have no interest in.

RamRod881392d ago

They took away the depth and charm of the game that made it fun and interesting, and made it into a generic zombie killing game.

DeadManMMX1392d ago

This was the series the got me to buy an Xbox 360. The first one was so good. It still had horror elements. As it went on it became kind of a parody. Never forget getting Zombie Genecider achievement and then restarting the game to get the Mega Buster. That thing was monstrous against enemies.

Gamerking821392d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .
