Uh, I can't think of any. If there's any, I haven't played them.
| Paperboy_J said: I've been thinking a lot lately about games that were technically good, but still got slammed by fans because they weren't exactly what they wanted. Final Fantasy X-2 and Metroid: Other M come to mind for me. X-2 was technically a good game, but it still got slammed by fans because of the whole "Magical Girl" theme and cheesy story. Yuna went from being a nun in the first game to a scantily clad pop princess in the second, and fans weren't too thrilled. |
X-2 was horrible. Gameplay was pretty good, but all the main characters were extremely annoying. It was especially obvious with Yuna, who acted like a responsible adult in X, and then regressed to the level of a teenager in X-2. The characters and the ridiculous story ruined the whole game for me. I wouldn't even have minded the stupid setting that much if it weren't for the characters and the story. X-2 is basically a prime example of what to not do when creating a sequel to an excellent game (or any game, for that matter). I think I didn't even want to be reminded of the existence of X-2... I could probably write a lot more about that game but it's probably better I don't write a huge rant.
