I totally agree on this pick. Actraiser 2 is a great example of a game with beautiful graphics that has absolutely nothing else to offer except pain. They should’ve just left it alone at one game.
Chrono Cross...in my opinion here,this game was an awful follow up to the great Chrono Trigger on SNES. TOO many party members,most of which were useless,terrible storyline and a dumb spellcasting system. What a total disappointment.
I’ll disagree. While the spellcasting takes some getting used to, the game was good if you ignored the masterpiece it followed. And character bloat hasn’t bothered me since I discovered the Suikoden series.
I have to disagree here. While I agree the game has too many party members, there’s an easy solution to that. Just focus on 7 to 8 characters you like and just ignore the rest. That’s pretty much what I do on most playthroughs. I mean to each their own, but I personally think Chrono Cross has a great storyline, one of the best soundtracks of all time, and great gameplay once you understand the element system. By the way, Chrono Trigger is my all-time favorite video game (no pun intended!), but I have Chrono Criss in my top 25 easily.
Metroid Prime 2. A game that simply took what was good about the first game and threw the baby out with the bath water. The ammo system of your beams and the requirement to hop from light bubble to light bubble drove me nuts, it was a game I dropped about halfway in because I hated the mechanics. The story was okay, but felt tacked on.
I liked a few of these games. The funny thing about the 80s and 90s was that video game sequels were typically better where movie sequels were typically worse, allowing for exceptions of course. Ninja Gaiden 2, Super Mario 3, TMNT 2, and Double Dragon 2 were some of the best sequels I recall from that time.
As much as I like Chrono Cross, I feel that it isn't as good as Chrono Trigger. However Chrono Cross is a decent game that still hits me in the feels often enough. Though I'm still pissed that they killed off or butchered some of my favorite characters from CT to move forward with the plot.
SSX On Tour: The first three games in the series are fantastic; SSX 3 might be my most played PS2 game. The fourth game adds skis to a snowboarding game, the races were retreads at best, and the "punk" aesthetic they were going for completely fails. The series, heck the entire snowboarding genre, was never able to truly recover.
Your Bioware list addendum: True that Baldur's Gate had 2 main games, but each got expansions, and the expansion pack to BG2: Shadows of Amn, Throne of Bhaal, was the final chapter of the same story and continued the Bhaalspawn saga, so together they were already known as a "Bladur's Gate Trilogy..." Also, Second KOTOR wasn't done by Bioware, but by Obsidian, same people who made Neverwinter Nights 2. Back then they were THE "clunky best RPG sequel on crunch" dev. Speaking of NWN, original game had two full-sized expansions, which are, IMO, better campaigns that OC... Second NWN had also two: a direct story sequel Mask of the Betrayer, and an unrelated expansion Storm of Zehir, which made you create a separate team... they absolutely wanted to milk franchises OG BG series alone is more than 10 discs! Also for franchising BG2, Bioware licensed the Infinity engine out and published Icewind Dale 1 & 2 and also Planescape Torment, all developed by Black Isle (Fallout 2 devs) and a lesser known series, Konung, by some orks. I'm sure they wanted to do the same with later games as their engine was showing up right there with brand logos, and some of them had a toolset bundled, Aurora engine from NWN1 was actually licensed to a small Polish firm that distributed discs, they adapted some a book by a local writer, Andrzej Sapkowski... not like they gonna adapt Witcher on Netlix right? But Odyssey engine for KOTOR was only used for its sequel, and whatever they used for NWN2 (Electron, I had to Google) was an unfinished buggy mess. No wonder they switched to heavily modified thirp party engines like Unreal and now Frostbite.
NWN2 wasn't made by Bioware. It was made by Obsidian. It's kind of weird how Atari just handed the title to a different company and told them to hurry up and make a sequel.
My picks for this category are Dead Space 3 and Resident Evil 6. But at least with DS3 I wanted to finish it. RE6 was a painful slog that felt like a chore to get through.
I was so hyped for Mass Effect 3 played Demo over and over even the multiplayer in it, but on release? The first dream sequence I understood something gone wrong... I dropped the game before getting to Priority: Earth, and spared myself the ending until years later, when it had tons of updates and Citadel DLC (which is easily the best part of ME3) and MODS. In fact, third game remains my least fav Mass Effect, with 2 on top, then 1, followed by Andromeda and only then 3. It's still a good game, just so disappointing.
Hot Take - for me, MK dropped off after the 3rd game until MK9 brought it back with a vengeance. also i've not had too much experience with Point and Clickers, but the ones that i have played were excellent. Broken Sword II, Blazing Dragons, PANIC for SEGA CD, Telltale's Sam and Max Series and The Walking Dead to boot. while they stopped being a common game archetype, they still existed in gaming since their golden age with quality titles.
Pronounced "Ray-gen," kind of like what they renamed Raiden on the home versions of Mortal Kombat. And I can't get rid of those numbers at the end. Yeah, Shenmue III... did not deserve a sequel. Yakuza deserves all those sequels, but Shenmue III should have been the finale for that franchise. We were waiting twenty years for this, and now you're telling us "to be continued?" No! End it now! Ryo was a teenager in the 1980s... he's got to be sixty now! How is he supposed to get revenge for his dead father, while living in a retirement home?
Double Dragon 3 for the NES is a sequel I was extremely disappointed with. After playing the second one which I thought was cool, I was pumped for the third one but ended up stunned and annoyed. Track and Field part 2 was a letdown for me as well. It had more events which was cool but I still enjoyed the original game way much more.
@@NateTheGnatthat’s a great point! I actually love the third Double Dragon game but then again I grew up playing that one almost as much as the others. The key with DD3 is getting over the hump and beating the second stage of the game. Overtime, you accumulate more characters and therefore you have more lives than the initial one. It’s a really great game once you understand the nuances of it. It’s probably my favorite game in the Double Dragon series too.
I’m glad to see a lot of people agree that Chrono Cross is a shitty sequel. Ironically, it’s one of the games I’ve played the most just because ive wanted to find the good in it. But there is very little to enjoy in that dud.
Tears of the Kingdom was that game for me. I didn't need to play the same game a second time with even more tedium. Should have been a dlc. I probably wouldn't have finished the game if the infinite master sword glitch wasn't found. Not to mention the horrendous companion design... The first game was just fine for using companion abilities why make it so they are basically worthless the second time around?
I agree with KH2. I was so looking forward to playing it the day it came out. Was in middle school, beat the first and was hyped! Then I realized while playing, man this is way to easy. I loved the worlds and strange stuff going on but like you said it was far to hand holdy. I never finished the game cuz I felt it was going to be a shalow victory
Yeah you could tell that KH2 was just....pure plot, it existed to attempt to justify the bullshit they would do for the 3 games that came out on different platforms simultaneously.
I am (and was) a huge sports fan and loved playing sports game. The sequel that chapped my ascot was Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball 2 on the SNES. The first one was, and probably still is, the best baseball game ever. So when Ken Griffey Baseball 2 came out and was hot garbage, I was soooo disappointed.
A great sequel to a terrible franchise was Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. Fun game play and a great story told in a totally unique way. By the time it released the franchise already had a bad reputation so nobody bought this and that was the end of it.
Jak 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. Yeah there is a lot that is very frustrating with the game but as a kid this was gta for me when I couldn’t play gta. Jak 3 was more of a let down for me with how bad the driving mechanics are.
Overwatch 2 hands down for me. Oh you took away all my characters and cosmetics that I accumulated over hours of pure joy in the only online shooter I’ve ever loved? Cool cool. You’re dead to me.
Kingdom Hearts 2 is my favorite game in the franchise. WCW Nitro was a terrible game after the respectable WCW/NWO World Tour had released. The gameplay was awful, the constantly moving camera made me nauseous and overall it was a strong effort with poor execution from a new developer compared to the polish of the AKI-developed WCW games at the time.
Here's a two extremely disappointing sequels (in no order)...I have a bunch more, but theses are just two off of the top of my head and something I vividly remember being disappointed by as a kid. 1) Toejam and Earl 2: Panic on Funkotron Here's a sequel to not just one of my favorite Genesis games but one of my favorite games of all-time, and something I played for what seem like forever, mainly because just how unique, fun and the truly amazing multiplayer experience...I got SO hyped up the sequel on to find out it they took basically all the elements that made the first game so special and unique, and turned it into an generic action platformer with the only thing it does really good is the style and graphics. Don't get me wrong, it's not horrible or a "bad" game, in and of itself, but as an actual sequel it totally and completely fails in a quite epic fashion IMO. It was a game that burned into my head the lesson that just because it's based on a great franchise, Does NOT mean it'll be good as the first game or even be like the first in any way, in this case. 2.) Ghoul Patrol (for SNES) Another game that I absolutely love the original (Zombies Ate My Neighbors!) and similarly to TJ&E2 I went into thinking "YES! Finally ZAMN is geting a legit sequel, I've been waiting for this for SO long!", but unlike TJ&E II, Ghoul Patrol kept the same basic game-play but messed with the mechanics and controls just enough that it actually felt like a step back instead of a sequel. Combine that with the overall lack of polish, really bad level design, and bad hit detection, especially when you compared to the first game, which just felt so well made and almost like a passion project. GP ultimately just felt like rushed or low-effort cash-grab that was made just to cash in on the success of the first game. It was only till I later when I found out that it wasn't made by the original team at LucasArts that made the first game, but instead by some outside studio, and on top of that, it wasn't even originally going to be a ZAMN sequel but a completely different game that just used the SNES ZAMN game engine but since they didn't like how that game turned out, at the last second decided to turn it into a quick & dirty ZAMN sequel. Which makes just how such a great & popular game got such a bad sequel from a studio that generally has an otherwise great track record make a LOT much more sense
I want to put Final Fantasy 16 on this list. Decent game, terrible mainline Final Fantasy sequel. If you took the chocobos and ifrit out then there would be nothing that ties it to final fantasy left.
Startropics 2. You have this amazing game, and then the sequel was as generic as could be. Metroid prime 2. Too much backtracking. Super mario world. The follow up to the best Mario 2d game. And it is somehow worse. With only yoshi redeeming it a bit. Monkey island 4. Crappy story and bad graphics.
Would Mega Man X7 count here? I’ve played every MM game in the classic series along with the X series and I can safely say that X7 is easily the worst game in either series by a wide margin. I’m not going to completely bash the game and say it’s the worst game ever made but being a MM game it was incredibly disappointing in every aspect. I think I prefer the voice acting in MM8 over this bomb. 😂
Kingdom Hearts 2 may have held your hand a lot but at least it kept the spirit of its predecessor. Chrono Cross on the other hand.... absolute dog water. The only thing that game accomplished was giving me a chance to troll you and then shooting beer out my nose at your reply.
Dragon Age 2. DAO was amazing. 2 was hot garbage and even its developers don't try to claim otherwise and just whine about EA not giving them enough time (even though at the time they claimed it was exactly what they envisioned and they wouldn't change anything even with another year). Sarcastic Hawke is funny as hell. That's it. That's the game's ONLY redeeming feature. The gameplay is awful, the story makes no sense, and BW's biggest selling point for its games, the meaningful (well, as meaningful as design allows) choices was non-existent. The game only gives you choices to be polite, it will slap your hand away if you pick the wrong one. You can oppose the evil religious fantatics at EVERY step and the resistance will still think you're their puppet because that's what the plot says. You can be siding with the fanatics against the insane blood mages but you're still forced to keep a blood mage and an abomination in your group the whole game. My favorite part is early on when this priestess tries to get you killed. You can ask why you shouldn't kill her. They make a whole big point about how no one knows where she is or who she's consorting with, so there's no way the crime can be connected to you, and she sure as hell wouldn't win a fight. She basically says "because I have plot armor, now piss off" and Hawke makes a sad face and pisses off. This pile of shit is the Daikatana of western RPGs.
I had forgotten about Actraiser 2. Curse you.
I totally agree on this pick. Actraiser 2 is a great example of a game with beautiful graphics that has absolutely nothing else to offer except pain. They should’ve just left it alone at one game.
I'm SORRY LMAO
Chrono Cross...in my opinion here,this game was an awful follow up to the great Chrono Trigger on SNES. TOO many party members,most of which were useless,terrible storyline and a dumb spellcasting system. What a total disappointment.
I agree. The spellcasting color affinity nonsense really turned me off from it.
I’ll disagree. While the spellcasting takes some getting used to, the game was good if you ignored the masterpiece it followed. And character bloat hasn’t bothered me since I discovered the Suikoden series.
Chrono Cross is terrible. Gamespot game that trash a 10 i think
I have to disagree here. While I agree the game has too many party members, there’s an easy solution to that. Just focus on 7 to 8 characters you like and just ignore the rest. That’s pretty much what I do on most playthroughs.

Woo hoo bro I'm like 100!!! Another awesome video keep them coming. Have a great day and peace!!!
Badass!
Great video as always. My number one choice for this is The Force Unleashed 2. That was so beyond disappointing for several reasons.
I remember playing a demo and thinking...wow, this is what we are doing?
Metroid Prime 2. A game that simply took what was good about the first game and threw the baby out with the bath water. The ammo system of your beams and the requirement to hop from light bubble to light bubble drove me nuts, it was a game I dropped about halfway in because I hated the mechanics. The story was okay, but felt tacked on.
I remember checking out Metroid Prime 3 as a kid lol

Ninja Gaiden 2, Super Mario 3, TMNT 2, and Double Dragon 2 were some of the best sequels I recall from that time.
Absolutely!
I'd say Chrono Cross even though I beat it and still kind of enjoyed it, it's NOWHERE near as good as Chrono Trigger
100%
As much as I like Chrono Cross, I feel that it isn't as good as Chrono Trigger. However Chrono Cross is a decent game that still hits me in the feels often enough. Though I'm still pissed that they killed off or butchered some of my favorite characters from CT to move forward with the plot.
Mass Effect 3 ending was bad because of EA rushed the game, not because Bioware couldn't do a trilogy.
Yeah yeah :P
SSX On Tour: The first three games in the series are fantastic; SSX 3 might be my most played PS2 game. The fourth game adds skis to a snowboarding game, the races were retreads at best, and the "punk" aesthetic they were going for completely fails.

It is atari after all. lol
My picks for this category are Dead Space 3 and Resident Evil 6. But at least with DS3 I wanted to finish it. RE6 was a painful slog that felt like a chore to get through.
Both great choices!
I only ever played RE 1 (for about 10 minutes) and 6. So I guess 6 is my favorite by default?
I was so hyped for Mass Effect 3 played Demo over and over even the multiplayer in it, but on release? The first dream sequence I understood something gone wrong... I dropped the game before getting to Priority: Earth, and spared myself the ending until years later, when it had tons of updates and Citadel DLC (which is easily the best part of ME3) and MODS.

I haven't played the DLCs. I'll definitely hit them when I play it again on stream.
Hot Take - for me, MK dropped off after the 3rd game until MK9 brought it back with a vengeance.

I was afraid after that horrible DC vs MK game that MK was truly screwed, I did enjoy Injustice 1 though.
Pronounced "Ray-gen," kind of like what they renamed Raiden on the home versions of Mortal Kombat. And I can't get rid of those numbers at the end.

I hope you still enjoyed the video even though I slaughtered your name LMFAO.
Twisted Metal 3 is my top disappointment in a sequel. 2 was legendary, in 3 I did a barrel roll in a car and got hammered for it. 😡
Yeah I heard the series was VERY much up and down.
cmon you cant criticize a game with a zombie chopper.
FINE lmao.
Double Dragon 3 for the NES is a sequel I was extremely disappointed with. After playing the second one which I thought was cool, I was pumped for the third one but ended up stunned and annoyed. Track and Field part 2 was a letdown for me as well. It had more events which was cool but I still enjoyed the original game way much more.
Double Dragon 3 is a good game if you want a challenge. But its not much fun for casual play.

Gotta say, while I like Devil May Cry 2, it is one game that is forgetable... Have to agree with you with the Mass Effect 3 ending... Sucks
Unfortunately that's how it is.
Unity! Duuuuude I completely quit the franchise because of that game.
I did for a long time for the same reason.
I still prefer Shenmue 2, but the original has a better sense of intimacy. Strangely I've not played the third game.
Pretend it doesn't exist lol

Love Mass Effect 3, my favorite of the trilogy. Needed a better ending though.
I agree! I do prefer 2 more though.
@ haha, to be fair, most people prefer 2. And it is a close call between them for me.
Jak 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. Yeah there is a lot that is very frustrating with the game but as a kid this was gta for me when I couldn’t play gta. Jak 3 was more of a let down for me with how bad the driving mechanics are.
I just couldn't get into it lol.
Chrono Chross...always Chrono Chross.
I can agree with that!
Overwatch 2 hands down for me. Oh you took away all my characters and cosmetics that I accumulated over hours of pure joy in the only online shooter I’ve ever loved? Cool cool. You’re dead to me.
I still think that Blizzards choice to just override the files and stuff with Overwatch 2 was such a failure.
Kingdom Hearts 2 is my favorite game in the franchise. WCW Nitro was a terrible game after the respectable WCW/NWO World Tour had released. The gameplay was awful, the constantly moving camera made me nauseous and overall it was a strong effort with poor execution from a new developer compared to the polish of the AKI-developed WCW games at the time.
I do have some nostalgic charm for KH2 lol

Ooh, interesting!
Legend of Mana was nothing compared to Secret of Mana. Legend of Mana was a one off. Very forgettable.
oh no!
Kingdom Hearts 2 is a fantastic game, just not as good as the first. If you want a disappointing sequel I would have chosen 3 over 2.
I actually haven't played 3 yet. It's still sealed lol.
I want to put Final Fantasy 16 on this list. Decent game, terrible mainline Final Fantasy sequel. If you took the chocobos and ifrit out then there would be nothing that ties it to final fantasy left.
I haven't played anything past 9 :P
@@Fortefyre Sad that you never played 10, that one is definitive Final Fantasy and one of my favourites.
Startropics 2. You have this amazing game, and then the sequel was as generic as could be.
Metroid prime 2. Too much backtracking.
Super mario world. The follow up to the best Mario 2d game. And it is somehow worse. With only yoshi redeeming it a bit.
Monkey island 4. Crappy story and bad graphics.
I've heard bad things about Prime 2, so I'm glad to hear it's not just a few people lol
StarCraft 2 was so weak compared to the original, also Diablo 3 both did not improve the brand
Honestly so far, I'm kind of digging it. Granted I'm only like 2 hours into it.
Keep talking about Assassin's Creed.
I wish, I need to play more lol
Final Fight 2, while its a decent game, is just pretty mid compared to the first one.
I've never played anything past arcade Final Fight 1, just wasn't for me.
Would Mega Man X7 count here? I’ve played every MM game in the classic series along with the X series and I can safely say that X7 is easily the worst game in either series by a wide margin. I’m not going to completely bash the game and say it’s the worst game ever made but being a MM game it was incredibly disappointing in every aspect. I think I prefer the voice acting in MM8 over this bomb. 😂
Oh absolutely!
I loved Duke Nukem Forever sorry
And that's ok :)
