Aliens: Colonial Marines
BIGGEST disappointment I had in gaming history.

Actually, they wanted it to be a sequel I believe.
Oh well
Shrug

Borderlands 2, Skyrim, Assassin's Creed 3, and Bioshock 2
(I didn't play through much of AC3 but it was hella worse than Brotherhood+Revelations)
EDIT: OOH also a very obscure one- Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly, and everything Spyro-related after that.

Everything after Year of the Dragon was awful, mate

It's just my opinion. Yours doesn't have to match mine.

Don't hide behind the "opinion" thing. You told that the first is a hell of a lot better and it's wrong for dozens of objective reasons. Tastes are a completely different thing.

I'm very sorry that we have clashing opinions.
Unless you have base fact that you can literally prove me wrong, and say with all truth that "Borderlands 2 is better than Borderlands 1", neither of us are wrong or right.
We just have different opinions.

You really can't see why someone would prefer 1 over 2? Seriously? Loot system alone would come to mind.
The stories better in 2, but come on many of us didn't play it for story.
Both have positives and negatives.

Not really. I played both till I gotten bored of them and think Borderlands 2 is actually better.
Fyi, I don't have the season pass. I only have two story dlcs, namely Torgue's and Captain Scarlett's. For characters wise, I only have the additional pre-order bonuses.

I've played both for 40+ hours and Borderlands 1 is the only one I could reinstall at any time and replay all the way through while it still being fun.
Opinions, opinions.

Like I said above, I just think it's a hell of a lot worse than the first one.
I've beaten both and Borderlands 1 offers me more actually fun content and replayability.

I actually liked borderlands 2 more.They experimented a bit more with the story telling, it's funnier ,the playability is the same ( which I hate in both ) and the characters are pretty good.I LOVE gaige,I love her and I love playing her,so maybe that's why I've enjoyed b2 more.Also I have the season pass and all the dlcs, and I must say "tiny tina's assault on dragon keep" is the best DLC ever made.The humour,the setting,EVERYTHING was fun and intriguing.
One thing i think they should've done better in both games is the weapon and damage physics.I mean you can always have the best weapons but still you don't feel powerful or like you're really doing damage.Maybe it has to do with the strange animations..Dunno..

Dragon Age II. After the Origin, which featured customizable character with 6 different backgrounds, epic & grand storyline, various environments and foes to face, Dragon Age II was a mess. Re-hash of maps, no exploration, very very limited environment, meh story. Also making friendly-fire impossible for mages got rid of strategic placing of characters. While I pause every time I get rid of an enemy in Origin, I paused around 5 times in the entire Dragon Age II playthrough.

I hate you, a lot. Jak II it's an awesome game. You made me cry. I beat it tons of times on my Ps2, and I'm replaying it again on my Ps3. I know it was a drastic change from the first game, but it's an awesome game, and with a lot of variety for its time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah I agree, Jak 2 and 3 are pretty cool.
Maybe somewhat flawed by todays standards in some areas (I dunno if wandering around the city so much was the games fault or mine for being a stupid kid at the time), but still pretty neat.

You mean 3 right???OK....I know OP said preferrably immediate sequel but...Dead Space 3 shouldn't even have Dead Space in it in my humble opinion!
Comment has been collapsed.
I have stayed away from playing it due to what people have said.. do not want my experience with the series so far to be ruined.. one day I will play it though..

No way, the game is awesome, just the ending could be better.

I really haven't played ArcaniA myself, but I think it shouldn't be considered a proper sequel... Is not developed by the same guys and much important it doesn't have anymore the tag Gothic 4 in it (I think because Piranha Bytes kept back the rights to do the proper sequel).
Comment has been collapsed.
Some times after Nordic have acquired JoWood, Arcania:Gothic IV was and actually is listed as only Arcania on the steam store. You can also see the new logo that doesn't have anymore the subtitle Gothic IV in there, here.
Also the collection is now listed as Gothic + Arcania Bundle, and not anymore Gothic Franchise.
To that, add that Piranha Bytes was heavily thinking about developing a new chapter of Gothic, and is currently in development of a game but cannot release any information (maybe, I guess, for legal reason due to the name of the franchise being contested).
Searching on the internet I only find things listed as Arcania: Gothic IV but they are all old commercial pages and you can see by yourself that they don't receive an update from a lot of time. Steam store seems the more reliable actually changing it at some point in time.
To be fair, I know it's developed as a sequel... the point is, think if someone starting writing Harry Potter 8 just because it have the right to do so... is a sequel, but only in the name.

Final Fantasy 13. Glad I rented it instead of bought it, if I bought it I would have broken my copy and burned the remains. Filming it and sending a copy of the film to Square Enix.
As is I was not that happy with Final Fantasy 12. The combat is boring as hell. All you do is walk around while your characters kill things with no input from you. Not only that the only way to obtain the most powerful weapon in the game, the Zodiac Spear, was to have a guide book.
It involved NOT opening a large amount of chests in the game. Specific ones too. Not to mention the room that you get the spear, tons of chests in there, only one has it. If you open any of the wrong chests in the game. You get nothing when opening the correct chest. No way of knowing what chests not to open if you did not have a guide book..
EDIT
Another really bad sequel that deserves a mention. Masters of Orion 3. Terrible, just terrible.
X-COM: Apocalypse also deserves a mention.
I would say Masters of Monsters Disciples of Gaia but its hard to tell if its a sequel or just the PS1 version of the game. The Sega Genesis and the countless PC versions of the game where soo much better.

Would Pokemon Diamond count? I'm a sucker for the older games, I LOVED the second gen, it added some stuff without making it ridiculous.
Comment has been collapsed.
I loved the second gen too, but I'm wondering whether you say Diamond is the worst sequel just because you're blinded by nostalgia or because there's actual features of the game (no not Pokemon designs/names) that you didn't like.

Well, I found that whole underground mining thing to be rather pointless, I found it a bit hard to find out where to go in some places, and I really don't care for that whole double battle thing...
Edit: OH RIGHT I forgot about this thing, but that whole "abilities" thing they added I suspect the gen before is so annoying, I just want my Pokemon to be the same dang it, I don't want your -10% Attack +5% Speed, if I did I'd just make them carry an item!
Comment has been collapsed.
Hah forgot about that one.. yea.. do not know why they made that one.. Was probably a good thing I forgotten it ><

This, just cause they wanted to try something different and you don't liked it dosn't mean it is bad

o_O The Adventures of Link is one of my all time favorite games!
It's a shame that you don't like it. :(

Mega Man 6 seems to be a bit of a disappointment for me compared to MM2 through 5. (Haven't tried MM 9 or 10 yet.)

Far Cry 2 dam repetitive and boring SP, Postal III buggy as hell, Zombie Driver HD that looks like a dlc to the original one, Unreal 2 wasnt much cool as Unreal Gold, Sonic the hedgehog 4 Episode I f*ck physics, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands wasnt even close epic as trilogy, All Painkillers after Painkiller: Black Edition, GTA IV worst crap port ever, Flatout 3 (no comment about this one), Call of Juarez: The Cartel the biggest joke ever, RIDGE RACER™ Driftopia an insult to the Ridge Racer franchise plus super abusive f2p system, Unreal Tournament 3 the worst unreal tournament ever, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows if point out something good about this game you are my hero, All Assassins Creed after AC2 thanks to the popularity they will extend story much as they can and probably they will reboot it when sales start going down, and finally Half Life 3 because the waiting... thanks Gabe

Idk Doom 3 was unplayable for me and I LOVED the older ones.
Comment has been collapsed.
for me doom3 was too much of a departure . i completed it on the xbox well i say completed got stuck on last boss would be more accurate, ive got it on steam now too but never felt the urge to play it, otoh i have fired up source ports to play 1/2/final and i bought what was at the time the full ID pack solely to get the iwads in a handy place thats steam, part of me wants the doom 3 rerelease purerly to complete the set but i cant imagine any amount of tweaking will make me like doom 3

Didn't like it at all, tried the remake, didn't improve, actually worse somehow :-/...

Megaman X7 it was a complete dissaster, the 3D perpective sucked so bad, and the level that with the screen flipping, didn't help.
Megaman X8 was awesome, the 2.5D perspective was perfect...
Crysis 2, what the fuck was that!?
Age of Empires III... a magic fountain?... A FUCKING MAGIC FOUNTAIN!?... where all the history goes?

There are lots of really mediocre ones, but to list the worst... I'd probably have to give first place to The Force Unleashed II. Also, I really didn't like ACIII. Felt like they should have left it at Ezio instead of substituting a boring dude who doesn't relate well with anyone.

Unreal Tournament 3 (just a better looking version of UT2k4 with all the good things removed and replaced with...nothing), Mercenaries 2 (loved the 1st part on Xbox, the 2nd part was so messed up gameplay wise I couldn't believe it), and, to a degree, every Elder Scrolls game after Morrowind (MW was a huge promise, but instead of fixing its flaws they added even more flaws with every game, story and setting became more boring each time as well).
Comment has been collapsed.
Mass Effect 3, Command and Conquer 4, Dragon Age 2.
Red Alert 3 / Uprising did not have aliens ( just replay those if you don't believe me ) and Command and Conquer main series always had the premise that someday the aliens might come ( the tiberium was spread when an alien spacecraft crashed on Earth - see the second Command and Conquer and C&C Renegade ).
All the NFS after the original Most Wanted ( exception is Carbon ), Diablo 3, Assasin's Creed 3 ( most uninspired main character in the series - the native american comes out as a self-righteous pri.k ), anything Call of Duty after MW, any Medal of Honor after Pacific Assault. Hell i could go on. Bottom line is that most of the sequels in a series are usually worse than the original or are getting worse soemwhere down the road

Mine would be Jak 2. I'm actually playing it now on the PS3, because I hate myself (and I already finished it many years ago on the PS2).
What's yours?
PLEASE NOTE! For the game to qualify, it must be a proper sequel - not a spinoff, spiritual sequel or something. I'd also appreciate if it's the first sequel in a series, though that's not entirely necessary.
