^ this.

Another one that went from fantastic game to barely something playable and enjoyable.

This one is even worse than diablo III lmao.

Whats sad is both games actually sold well enough considdering the mess they made.

Halo 2 - Its multiplayer portion was revolutionary, but the campaign butchered everything that was great about the original: No sense of isolation, little to no room for exploration, no immersion as the covenant absurdly started speaking English, the story was tailored to fans of generic sci-fi action movies, the violin was replaced by an electric guitar, vehicles were seemingly made of plastic, and the list goes on.

Dead Space 3 - The transition from horror to action had already started in the second game, but Dead Space 3 got rid of the final elements that made the original so great.

Fire Emblem: Awakening - "Pair up" ruining the gameplay, horrible difficulty balance, pre-pubescent characters wearing close to nothing, atrocious character design in general. This game supposedly saved the Fire Emblem series from extinction, but as far as I'm concerned an honorable death would have been better.

Star Wars: Battlefront (2015) - Does not even remotely compare to its prequel. Saying that the game lacks content would be extremely generous.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl - The presence of hitstun-cancel, hitstun being ridiculously low to begin with, by far the worst balance present in any smash game, tripping, infinite air-dodges. Smash 4 took some steps in the right direction trying to rectify some of these issues, but as of right now the series beyond the first two entries is unplayable with items off due to Brawl's legacy. Creative combos and general exciting gameplay is reserved for Smash 64, Melee and the Brawl-mod Project M.

Dragon age 2. It's for bitches.

Ditto.

I personally love Smash 4, but Brawl made a lot of changes in the wrong direction that pretty much put the gameplay in an awkward position for competitive players.

Even as a casual player, I thought the lack of hitstun and tripping were super dumb.

Other M wasnt that bad xD It was okay metroid game. Bosses were cool and inside the bottle ship was kinda cool location, cool enemies, and the boss fights were awsome. I think the dissapointing part for me, was the lack of variety, the style of gameplay and music. Also story, but i never care about the story in Metroid games that much even though they are fun.

are you kidding? Dragon Age 2 took away all of the atmosphere, intelligent battle mechanics, story, deep characters, beautiful world- its one of the worst sequels ever made. Inquisition was slightly better but still garbage comparing to Origins

companies dumbing down games and putting less effort in, that's what we're seeing. and people with no insight see a big blank world with copied trees over and over and dumb AI (Dragon Age Inquisition) and are fooled into thinking it has quality

FFX-2 ruined the story of FFX for me

The N64 ruined Nintendo as far as 3rd party goes and it's a terrible sequel to arugably the best console of all time with 6 month game doughts, no RPGs, lacking 3rd party, 1 relevant fighter (Smash) coming from (FFVI, Chrono Trigger, ALTTP, Secret of Mana, Super Metroid, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter ect) and regulated Nintendo to a secondary console or a casual console. Other than that the Xenosagas games were very bad compared to Xenogears.

Sequels to FF games ruin all the stories of the main series. Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus for FF7, X-2 for X. They try and add story to what is and was a complete story already, taking away any sacrifices and character progression of the characters before. FF games should all be one offs.

Dark Souls 2. I didn't play Demon's Souls, and won't unless they remaster it. So Dark Souls 2 was the second game in the series to me and I thought it was worse in every way but the graphics. I just had no interest in it at all compared to the first, which I think is a masterpiece.
