Sequels worse than their predecessors

Dragon Age 2 - Crap story and awful combat. Very disappointing when you consider the first Dragon Age game.

Mass Effect 3 - I'd say neither ME2 or ME3 were as good (as an RPG) as ME1, but ME2 is definitely better than ME3 imo.

MW2 - Obvious inclusion is obvious.

What sequels do you think were worse than the predecessor?

Definitely Deus Ex: The Invisible War. The first game is one of PC Gaming's finest moments and the sequel is simply horrible.

human revolution, was a fairly enjoyable follow up I think.

Man, if we were talking movies this list would go on for pages.

I'm going to suggest that any duke nukem game produced after duke3d does not match its predecessor. I'll also add quake 4 and viva piñata 2

Personally Fallout new Vegas disappointed me. KOTOR2 was not as good as the first but it was alright, and oh Every fable game after the first.

Bioshock 2 was pretty poor, even Ken Levine knows that & said that it isn't even a true sequel & that Infinite is the true successor to the franchise.

Both of those first ones share something in common.
Made by Obsidian!
The sequel gurus who just can't make a good game.

New Vegas was just a big expansion. More of the same, which seeing as I enjoyed Fallout 3 was still fun to play.

Was never going to have the same awe moments as the first one.

Such as stepping out of the vault and destroying the town

ME2 was better than the first one by miles, much more refined. Mass Effect 3 didn't feel as good as the ME2 though.

That too, but it was the shear huge amount of talking as far as i know playing as good, and why did they pick the desert as the location, Vegas itself was a very small part of the game.

Street fighter 4? :P

I'm tempted to add in all Capcom 'sequels' like Dead Rising 2 Off the Record and stuff but i'd be wrong in the sense of worse, just more of the same.

I know you all wont agree with me..
BUT, Uncharted 2.

I seriously thought the first one was PERFECT.
Yeah, there were a few glitches and problems..
but the game was nice, not too short or long, and sweet.
And made it not INSANELY hard to platinum.

Uncharted 2 was a bit too long and dragged on abit, dont get me wrong i love the game. Infact i love the whole trilogy..
But Uncharted 2 really wasnt perfect in Story.

Halo 3 ODST, all of the Final Fantasy VII sequels besides Crisis Core, Final Fantasy X-2 was a dispointment and most sport games because they are basically the same game besides different rosters and minor tweeks

I liked Street Fighter 4, maybe I'm just used to Capcom releasing half Street Fighter games.

GTAIV. Compared to San Andreas and Vice City.

Not a direct sequel, But Rugby League LIVE was worse than the PS2 games... :S

Although, I'll admit, GTAIV did take the direction in a new innovative direction, I still prefer the crazy gang street always-found-something-fun-to-do style that was San Andreas ^_^

Agreed, GTA IV was definitely worse than the PS2/Xbox trilogy.

Although, "worse" implies that it was bad. It was inferior.

Heaps that are. Infamous 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Resistance 2, just to name a few.

Merchandise - Stuff for consumers you can actually purchase this time!

Further to my previous blog with the promo marketing stuff (i.e. crap I give away to help promote the name but didn't really expect people to buy) I've now started selling shirts/clothes.
