Sequels that aged worse than their predecessors

[majorsoccer]

What Sequels that aged worse than their predecessors ? here some in my opinion:

Quake 2 - aged awful

Morrowind - Morrowind aged slightly worse than daggerfall

KOTOR - not a sequel but aged awful compared to KOTOR 2

Might and Magic 6 - awful combat system compared to M&M 4

Heroes of Might and Magic 3 - not from a gameplay perspective.Soundtrack,art-style and story in HOMM2 are way better than HOMM3

Master of Orion 2 - terrible micromanagement late game

Civilization 3 - i have no idea why but CIV3 is just boring

C&C Tiberian Sun

Diablo 2 - too long and repetitive

 

[Falksi]

Dragon Age 2 - Felt 3 years older than Origins on release

 

[Sranchammer]

Wasteland 2

Dawn of War 3. What a painful disappointment that was.

Everything X-COM related.

Not only they were worse but they didn't age as well as their predecessors.

 

[majorsoccer]

also, despite alot of people hating FF12,in my opinion,FF12 is the only final fantasy that aged well

I don't know how but NwN2's mechanics managed to feel even worse than NwN's.

[Neanderthal]

Blood Omen 2.

 

[majorsoccer]

also,all mortal kombat games after MK3 aged poorly and all street fighter games after SF2 aged poorly too

Half-Life 2

The 2 sequels for Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

 

[Mustawd]

Half-Life 2

I think this is definitely true. HL1 I can still replay today and it feels fun. HL2 is a slog. Absolute zero replayability.

Pretty much any sequel that made the jump from 2D to 3D in the mid-to-late 90s.

Was just about to say that

 

[DraQ]

Does nobody remember Unreal 2 and Deus Ex: IW, or were they so awful that nobody considers them true sequels?

Anyway:

• Homeworld 2
• Quake 2
• MDK 2
• TES IV: Oblivion (pretty striking example as no matter how you look at it, it's driven into the ground by one or more of its prequels, Skyrim OR both - it truly has no redeeming qualities).

Lands of Lore 2.

Pretty much any sequel that made the jump from 2D to 3D in the mid-to-late 90s.

Mario 64.....uuuggghhhhh...........

 

[DalekFlay]

KotOR was always a much different game story, quest design and pacing wise. I don't think it aged any differently, it was just always different. I love both.

 

[Sordid MCA/Prosper Hybryd]

Dark Sun: Wake of the Ravager

 

[Jvegi]

Pretty much any sequel that made the jump from 2D to 3D in the mid-to-late 90s.

Except for Rayman 2 of course.

Fable 2? Never played it but it had good reviews on release., if I remember correctly, but nowdays nobody mentions it.
