Forums - Gaming - What are franchises that you gave a second chance to, and regretted it?

For example.

I remember trying out GTA1 on the PC, my friends were going crazy over the prospect of buring random people on the street, but I personally thought that the game got old quick and went back to playing Diablo.

Then, by the time I found out about GTA3, everyone was playing it and it was getting rave reviews. My friend also showed me a trick where the main character went to get laid by a hooker, killed her afterwards and took the money back. I thought it was pretty funny, but when I tried the game for myself, I found it to be pretty boring and baseless.

Finally, when GTA4 hit. Rockstar promised major character development, a good story, and fun combat. I got caught up in the hype and gave GTA yet another chance by buying the game. Long story short, I found the game to be somewhat of a nuisance. The missions were very much alike and the whole relationship idea was tedious. Needless to say, I won't be giving GTA4(part2) or GTA5 another chance.

Top spin.

Played top spin 2 and was bored within 30 minutes.

The gameplay was slow and the rallys were either way too short or dragged on for too long (A.I. was either dumb or a genius)

Saw reviews of top spin 3 and thought i would give this poor mans Virtua tennis wannabe franchise another chance, it turned out to be even worse than top spin 2............. pure garbage.

Top spin 3.............. all i can say is..... sloooooooooooooooooooow, boringggggggggggggggggggg and dull.

Safe to say that i will never buy a top snip game ever again.

Thank god Virtua tennis 2009 is coming out, top spin STILL leaves a bad taste

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

I gave GTA a slight chance... And it failed me. IV was no better than the previous ones. Actually they had made the camera worse and, it seems, the shooting system as well. Luckily I never bought the game - my brother did so I didn't have to.



Sonic - never liked the early games and don't like the newer ones, still don't know why I got Unleashed...
Conflict - Desert Storm was okay, but hell Denied Ops is even more boring. Not even the co-op mode can save it.



World of Warcraft. Bought it release day, played for 2 months. Got bored quickly. Last year I tried again, still boring.
