Decline What's the worst non-RPG sequel ever?

[samuraigaiden]

Painkiller: Overdose comes to mind, although it's considered a stand-alone expansion so maybe it doesn't count. Still, it was the next big release in the series and it just sucked beyond repair.

 

[Alienman]

Rome II. Killed my enthusiasm for Creative forever.

 

[DraQ]

Unreal 2.

Also the obvious answer:

Spoiler

Oblivion.

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

Diablo 3.

 

[Darkforge]

Another thread inspired me....
The answer is Devil May Cry 2.

 

[Wunderbar]

Deus ex invisible war
HOMM6
Quake 2
Serious Sam 2

 

[Jason Liang]

Ouch. Hard to say "worst."

Star Control 3 comes to mind. But I'm sure there are worse.

 

[curds]

Never played it but Duke Nukem Forever's reputation precedes it.
I don't hate Quake II as much as some but it was an obvious decline from the first game and fairly shit IMO.

 

[Dodo1610]

Probably Flatout 3 or Dreamfall chapters

 

[newtmonkey]

Strider Returns [Megadrive]

 

[Robespierre]

Blood 2. Blood 2. Blood 2. etc. etc.

Clear Contenders:

Duke Nukem Forever
Unreal 2
Turok (reboot)
Resident Evil 6
Ninja Gaiden 3
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5
Tomb Raider: Legend
Thief 4

I wouldn't include DMC2 because while it's pretty damn bad at least it's bad in a lazy way and still plays like a game somewhere in there, rather than a "this game is made for retards, by retards and/or sellouts" way. All of the above meet that criteria.
Same with Blood 2. The devs ran into financial issues and the publisher forced it out the door which caused its downfall so I don't count it. It wasn't insultingly and soullessly designed and released as a retard game. But this is just my criteria.

Personal Contenders:

GTA 5. I hate everything about it. I consider it a brainless game with zero substance, try-hard and pandering. Would be hard to argue it's the "worst sequel of all time" though.
Hitman Absolution

I could keep going but am bored now. Also people saying Quake 2 lol.

My nominations would be:

• Actraiser 2
• Mass Effect 3
• Dead Space 2 & 3
• Rise of the Tomb Raider + Shadow of the Tomb Raider
• Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite
• Final Fight 2
• Metal Gear Solid 2

Strider Returns [Megadrive]

This is also an excellent shout.

 

[80s Stallone]

Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness

 

[Siveon]

Another thread inspired me....
The answer is Devil May Cry 2.

Devil May Cry 2 is pretty goddamn terrible. Although it's almost peculiar how it's terrible just from design/gameplay alone - even when it functions and the story/graphics are fine.

Edit:
Crash Mind over Mutant..
Fear 3
I guess Sonic 06
Mega Man X7

Edit x2: lol Marvel Infinite. That game plays fine and that's the most important thing.

 

[Kalin]

SMAX of course.

Although if you don't count expansions:

Civilization III
Gangsters 2

 

[Siveon]

Resident Evil 6

Sue me but RE6 is an amazing co-op game, and as a sequel to 5 it delivers.

 

[octavius]

In before DraQ and Unreal 2...damn, too late...

Personally I rather enjoyed Unreal 2, Invisible War (but then I liked any FPS back then) and even (modded) Oblivion.

So my nomination would be The Citadel, the real time unplayable clusterfuck sequel to Lords of Midnight and Doomdark's Revenge that was relased instead of the never finished turn based Eye of the Moon.

 

[Corvinus]

Painkiller: Overdose comes to mind...

It was terrible, but the worst of all time? There are lots of good answers here and I think it is difficult to pick a specific one.

I'll go with Fallout3, though! Wait you say, that is still an RPG. To which I reply - IS IT?

 

[Kalin]

Fallout 3 is a way of life.

 

[Luckmann]

Desu Sex: Invisible Whore

 

[Farewell into the night]

I don't know which one is the worst, but personally I didn't liked Max Payne 3 and The Sims 4 games.

 

[Zariusz]

Anything after Dragon Age Awakening

 

[samuraigaiden]

Painkiller: Overdose comes to mind...

It was terrible, but the worst of all time?

Maybe I like the original Painkiller too much.
