Tekken Tag 2 vs 7 is also a good one. Even better is 5DR vs 6.

Dragon Age: Origins - I played it mostly from a top-down perspective in combat and was a huge Fan of game. Back when I played this game I would of thought you crazy if you said that this would be the final Bioware game I would love.

Dragon Age II - not only did they remove the option for top-down perspective but the third-person perspective they force you to play in felt very zoomed in to me compare to last game with no way to zoom out further. I can't think of a single thing that was not way way worse in this game then the original. I hated this game. In my entire life no game have ever disappointed me more then the disappointment I felt playing this game after having such high expeditation after first. You also got to remember back in 2011 Bioware have not yet released a game I disliked. In many ways this games mark the beginning of Bioware down fall for me.

Nah Crysis 2 is a good game. I replay it often. It's just different from 1. Three is awful. 

It's one of the most disappointing games I've ever played, and I didn't exactly have high expectations to start with. Personally I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It's not terrible, it's just a very bland and generic shooter with a bit of a twist. I see some people like it more and to each their own for sure, but there's nothing in the game that would make me want to return to it ever.

Surprised I'm not seeing Devil May Cry 2 and Dark Souls 2 since those games are hated by the fans.

DMC2 sucks but it gave us the best Dante design. Rebellion & Bloody Palace. A DMC game I despise and I mean truly hate. is DmC. What a pile of shit. Everything surrounding the game more so than the mid game itself. It's a so so game on it's own and a rotten DMC game and how everything was handled leading up to it and why it was even in existence made me hate it. Homophobic images at GDC made me forever despise that studio and I didn't like them from the racist Kung Fu Chaos. Their games in general are not good but good tech.

I did mention DMC2. Capcom made quite a few trash sequels, and it might be the worst of them. It's definitely the worst sequel that I actually beat.

God of War Ragnarök was a disappointment after the 2018 outing: pacing was aweful. Story was meandering at best and nonsense at worst. Acting for some characters was just dismal. Character motivation was illogical for many decisions. The main conflict between Atreus and Kratos resting on them not talking about both of them seeing the prophecy is just lazy writing. And even though the combat system and enemy variety was a step up, the action/bossfights/set-pieces was a deceisive step down. I'll never understand this gigantic fumble of a sequel, that should have been a lay up.

The Last of Us 2 was disappointing compared to 1: the gameplay was a step up. But everything else, just pure horror and cringe. With part 1 ending like it did, this was a difficult sequel to make, for sure. And they failed in spectacular fashion. Boring, pretentious, selfimportant and at the same time treating its audience like children with their messages. This one failure, despite it being a daunting task, was so extreme and downright baffling, that it completely erased my trust in the studio.

As others mentioned:

Devil May Cry 2. 1 is still my favourite in the series. And I truly want them to implement more horror stuff into any coming sequels. Dante can quip around and have it lighthearted. Nero can be a punker hothead with a heart of gold saving Kyrie and the day. And Vergil/V can have the horror elements.

Kingdom Hearts 2 compared to 1: the first game is still my favourite and the only game in the series I'd regard as really good. 2 marked the beginning of overexplaining and at the same time underexplaining the convoluted mess the plot became. The first game was the only one that was "simple and clean".

Mario64 > Mario Sunshine. (played on original N64 vs GameCube)

The intro in Sunshine takes way to long. Than I got Flush and hate it. Played it for an hour and quit. I expected an innovative masterpiece, but it was just to annoying to persist with it.
