Could basically boil this down to 'how EA ruin everything '

Is it just me or does Falcon going on a rant become hilarious for the simple fact that he remains so calm and collected about it🤣

Andromeda really pissed me of for other reasons, too. In the original trilogy I loved throwing around my biotic abilities like a crazy person and then...Andromeda only lets me equip 3...

I appreciate you quickly listing the games from the previous video. I did indeed watch it back then but forgot the list. Would love to see this anytime you do a part 2 video.

I am amazed at how frequent you are with uploading great videos, keep up the amazing work

Dead Space 3 wasn't THAT bad on its own - I had some HILARIOUS moments playing with my friends - but yeah when you compare it to DS 1 and 2 it's just not the same. A big reason I didn't play it for a while after it came out was because I watched my room mate spend hours and hours staring at the weapon customization menu. He'd make a change, go shoot at some enemies for a few mins, then run back to the bench and spend another few hours collecting resources and making changes. At the very least, you don't HAVE to spend a lot of time at the bench.

My dirty little secret is that I quite enjoyed Duke Nukem Forever.

As a child I had such a blast playing goblet of fire looking back now I'd probably hate it but it makes me remember how fun gaming was before I had STANDARDS 😐

Wow. You opened up my memory for Goblet of Fire. I remember that game being way more fun than it looks on GameCube 😂

Your channel is the kind of content to where that person is always anxious for the next video and that in itself is what makes your channel the root of what youtube is all about thanks for coming up with a genius channel I love you for that

I remember when Dead Space 3 came out, the demo was all you needed. You could continue the campaign by joining a friend who is already playing, so me and my friend just swapped host position for the whole game, finished it in an afternoon.

As a huge fan of the first two Harry Potter games and to a lesser extent the third Harry Potter game. I was really excited to play the Goblet of Fire as a kid. You have no idea how disappointed I was when I tried to play that mess… The other games in the series were pretty good except the last few. But I would take those boring shoot ‘em ups over the fourth game any day lol

Currently playing Andromeda again after Legendary Edition. I hope they continue it. The combat was fun! Hope to see more Milky way species coming to Andromeda plus new Andromeda species to encounter

I played Andromeda earlier this year, so it was not as bad as it was on launch from what I hear, but I loved it and had a lot of fun. I went in knowing it wouldn’t be anything like the OG trilogy, and had a great time. I loved it for what it was. Nothing can ever top the original games, I didn’t expect that, and at the time I needed something easy and relatively low-stakes, which probably helped.

Geez that still of the headstones at 13:16 really hits you in the heart doesn’t it

Mass Effect Andromeda…after they fixed everything…was amazing! The open world concepts and combat was the best in the series. The story wasn’t “life in the galaxy is threatened, oh no!” Like in the trilogy, but it was still really solid space opera/adventure! Sounds like you didn’t give it a chance after all the patches were released, you just wanted to take a nap. 😉 - anyone reading this: highly recommend giving Andromeda a chance! It’s a fantastic Mass Effect experience. (plus it’s like alway on sale)

Having just completed Andromeda this year, I ended up really liking it. My gripes are mainly around the tedious back and forth fetch missions. It was also difficult to get into the swing of things, as the game does a really bad job of explaining all you can do. Once you get into it though, I found the gameplay fun, the story interesting, and your team as endearing as in the original trilogy (for their own reasons). It really could have grown into something great if given the chance with DLC or sequels.

We all know its overwatch 2

I actually enjoyed playing Duke Nukem Forever. It had awoken some sweet memories and my expectations weren't high so I had a really good time playing it.

When you have been in this channel for so long you remember every part 1 or 2 that came before the videos you see now 😅 I love gameranx 😂

I liked the mass effect andromeda. It was actually pretty good after much of the fixes were set in place. I actually wouldn’t mind a sequel to it as long as the game actually functions at launch. Dead Space 3 was also awesome! It was fun to play.

Command and conquer 4, only once. I was excited when EA announced it, but when I played it, ooof. I played it enough to get max rank for both factions, helped a couple people through the campaign, but after that I haven’t touched it since, I still go back and play the other C&C titles for that nostalgia once in a while

When I think of bad sequels the very first game that pops into my head is DMC 2 for sure.

Alone in the dark was supposed to run parallel to the Christian slater film

Honestly in my opinion DS 3 is a cool game. Isaac Clark is awesome in this game. The weapon crafting system is so similar to fallout 4. I have only two problems: 1. They really changed Ellies character. Especially with the whole love triangle nonsense. 2. The game ends on a huge cliffhanger with the DLC and they just let the game sleep for 9 years? Awful man. I really wanna know how earth is gonna survive the necromorph moons!

Really happy to hear you mention Sacred, and you're absolutely right about 3. Didn't even need to play it to see it had nothing to do with the previous games.

Andromeda was a great game. It wasn't perfect, but the combat and exploration was fantastic.

This is seriously my favorite channel. I never get tired of your videos. I can watch this catalog of videos all day. Starting to run out of one's i haven't seen yet

I loved Duke Nukem Forever. Was it as good as the older ones? No, but I still really enjoyed it. What bugged me most on release was that everyone I came across who was trashing it never even played it. If they tried it and didn't like it, fair enough, but they were endlessly trashing it because [insert random internet guy here] didn't like it.

I absolutely love Andromeda, I’ve put over 200 hours in that game, and honestly just planet hopping and exploring as all I wanted. Once your a full level biotic, the game becomes quite fun

The thing with Sacred 3 is that Ascaron the previous developer, has been liquidated since 2009. Some of its Ips have been bought by Kalypso media (not Sacred though) and they took some of their developers (15) to create gaming Minds Studio (still in Gütersloh germany). The rights for Sacred are with DeepSilver and has been developed by Keen Games (from Frankfurt am Main). Deep Silver is now part of the Embracer Group. Long story short. The Ip went a totally different way than the Developers. Unlike with Timesplitters, where now both the Developer and the rights are part of Embracer. But Sacred 1 was awesome. Sacred 2 not so much, because it fried my windows 7 when i installed it from the disk, so i had to use a crack to get rid of Securom. Also the studio is about 28min away by car from my home :D

Surprised that how tf legendary Saints Row 5 did not got mentioned in this video.

I don't remember if they were mentioned in the previous video, but a couple bad sequels I can think of would have to be Dino Crisis 3 and The Third Birthday (the third game in the Parasite Eve series). Those two games completely changed from the previous games in their respective series.

I just like to think of Andromeda as a Big DLC to the original trilogy. "Look what these guys were doing while Shepard was fighting reapers". There's nothing in me whatsoever that sees it as, 'mass effect 4' it's just not the next game 😅

Sacred 3... sounds similar to what happened with Dungeon Siege III... Dungeon Siege was a dungeon crawl hack and slash, made to showcase a game engine based on the premise "are we able to make a game that takes hours to complete which doesn't use any loading screens?" It was a success. In addition to the hack and slash, they introduced a leveling system, limited character customization, and party mechanics (up to 8 heroes and/or pack mules). The plot was the most basic bare bones plot only existing to explain why the character we're playing as is going through all the dungeons; although they did have a few NPCs to talk with who provided some background lore. Multiplayer: Each person can import their own character to play with friends, up to 8 players (I think, never used it). Dungeon Siege II built upon the basics of the previous game, they added character customization (instead of a human, a player could play as a half-giant, dryad, elf, or human each with their own benefits), the introduction of over a dozen pets (which can be customized and leveled), RPG elements (lots of quests and each party member has their own individual quest), along with the previous leveling system, they added a skill tree to unlock powers around character concept (powers of a sword and shield fighter is different than a greatsword wielding fighter etc.), finally, they added a crafting system. Multiplayer: Each person can import their own character to play with friends, up to 6 players (I think, never used it). Dungeon Siege II Broken World "the last chapter", fixed a lot of bugs, while adding dwarves as a playable race (although dwarves don't make sense for the narrative, but added due to fan service), they added several more pets, 2 more party members to showcase the newly introduced hybrid classes (Blood Assassin is combat magic + range, Warden is nature magic + melee) with their own spells and powers, and they expanded the crafting system to include the ability to make equipment sets. It's clear that this was the Dungeon Siege II port to console, as there are things you can get in the console version which can be used, via code, to get the duplicates in the PC version, and vice versa. Then we get to Dungeon Siege III. This is a Diablo clone. Instead of a party, you get to choose to play 1 of 4 pregenerated characters (archer, mage, wizard, Angel-Elemental Hybrid) -- only one is a plot important, the other three can be removed from the game for all they affect it -- and you can only have 1 active companion (1 of the 3 pregenerated characters you didn't select). The previous games' leveling system was entirely scrapped for a Diablo-esque version, in which you get to choose a skill/power from a very limited list of skills/powers, and if you choose poorly, that greatly affects the game (my first play through, I had to ditch half-way through as my characters I have used couldn't actually defeat a boss). As for gear, it's character locked preventing you from giving a very useful ring/amulet to character X because it is meant to be used by character Y. Then... the lack of quests really made the game feel devoid of content/empty. Multiplayer: You and a single friend are able to play... as different characters. TL;DR Everything which made the previous games great, were scrapped because Diablo was the game the console players would be most familiar with so they made the game to be played exactly like Diablo... pissing off nearly all the long time fans. Thus, the huge number of negative reviews are "this isn't Dungeon Siege... it freaking sucks!"

The sad thing about Andromeda is that the combat was very fun imo. But it was missing one of the things that made ME 1-3 so great...likeable characters.

in regards to 2042 you gotta give em credit for admitting they done fucked up and are actually atleast trying to fix it like apparenty they are reworking the specialist system to be more similar to the class system

Devil May Cry 2 was actually my introduction to the series. And everything you said is absolutely correct. It is literally the only one I've never gone back to replay. Dmc I've replayed several times in fact! The trick to playing that one is skip every cutscene and bit of dialog. The gameplay is loads of fun, and the level design is a cut above some other games from that franchise.

DMC2 "hate" is spot-on! I completely agree everything you said. Dull and boring all around: dull graphics, dull levels, dull combat, dull enemies, dull everything. And I even agree that "reboot-DMC" is a good game. Not on par with "real" Devil May Cry games but a good action game nonetheless. I've heard people sometimes say that "DMC2 is a bad DMC but a good action game"... no, it's not. It's dull and boring.

That Tiberian Twilight still stings is an understatement

Most of the time, when the Sequel Sucks, it's because it was passed off to another team to complete it quickly while the original teams works on a higher profile project or something of the like

Sacred 3 was so much of a letdown. Great list!

Red Faction: Armageddon removed one of the greatest aspects of Guerilla, a wide open world, and replaced it with an oppressive, claustrophobic set of tunnels and caverns, and a linear play style. This made the destruction less dramatic, muting the coolness of the new cool weapons, and trapped the player in all kinds of unpleasant situations.

I actually really enjoyed Goldeneye Rogue agent, it’s not as good as other shooters but I thought it was an interesting take on things. I can see why it could be considered disappointing though. Keep it up with the cool vids!

3:18 "...It's actually WORSE! It's WORSE than I remembered it!" 😆 I damn near spit up my beer!

Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare, is still one of my favourite survival horror games, love the music and atmosphere in that game.

Haven’t played them all but here’s my all time list 1. Fallout 76 2. Elder Scrolls Online 3. Halo ODST 4. Zelda 2 5. Street Fighter 5

i miss C&C so much, red alert 2 and 3 and general zero hour were my favorite games

I honestly loved the Goblet of Fire game 😅 had so many hours of fun with it on PS2 and PSP.

I swear I played a different Amdromeda than everyone else. I've played through that game several times and I've enjoyed it every time.

I’m surprised red faction Armageddon didn’t make the list. They changed the open world mayhem where you could destroy any and everything to a linear style game that had a story which made no sense at all.

#1: The Last of Us 2.

I actually loved crackdown 2 when it launched. Though I only bought because my best friend was playing it a lot. Never played crackdown 1 until like 2020. I have some fantastic memories from playing with my best friend on crackdown 2. Went back in 2020 to revisit it and Yeah, it's not that good lol. Only played it for like 2 hours and by the 30 minute point I was forcing myself to play it lol. To this day, Mass Effect Andromeda I haven't played. Despite me loving the mass effect games. It just has such a negative reputation that to this day pushes me away from even giving it a chance. Dead Space 3 I got in 2014 and I was really excited for it. Loved D1 and D2. But God was it mediocre. I did get that same best friend from earlier to play co op campaign with me. He hates HATES horror games. I love them. It was pure humor. Whenever he'd get scared by a jump scare or necromorphs, he'd run away and just say "I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!" He was saying that to me lol. He did push himself to finish the game with me and his final words on the game once the credits started to roll was simply, "I am NEVER playing that again." Imagine how he'd feel if he played D1 and D2 MUCH more scarier games. To this day I occasionally mention it and he just starts laughing about it. And repeating "I am never doing that again" as he starts laughing again.

"I think we put you through enough at this point" is one of your single best lines I've heard in your videos. Thanks, it made me laugh

the early Harry Potter games are some of my favourite games ever - and i would not be mad if they remastered it. They are probably what got me into story rich, action/adventure games. i lost interest at goblet of fire onwards though. Philosophers (Sorcerers) Stone and Chamber are my faves though.

Alone in the Dark 2 ~ In its defense, having lived in NYC since 1979 (no, not a typo), with the exception of the 1990s; NYC is a great setting for a horror game. Dark, depressing, corrupt, violent, and at times genuinely horrifying. The setting in AITD2 was not the issue.

this guy's sarcasm is just awesome, i love it

You sound different from your older videos. Can’t put my finger on it though. Great content as always.

I wouldn't say it sucked, but a sequel I was severely disappointed by was Dying Light 2. What a goddamn shame... Even with the significantly expanded narrative, to say it was a massive stepdown from the original in so many ways would be an understatement.

ME Andromeda is, after various fixes and patches, pretty good now. It's no Trilogy, but a heck of a lot better than it launched as. Some technical glitches and bugs are probably unfixable, but I've only encountered them very sparingly. Gameplay mechanics is top-notch, while the story (and that ending) itself is interesting enough to deserve a sequel (which won't happen now sadly).

The original Alone in the Dark game was polygonal awesomeness!! I played it on my 3DO over and over again.

I never comment on KZfaq videos for a multitude of reasons but I wanted to thank you for pointing out the abomination that was Sacred 3. My wife and myself spent an inordinate amount of time on Sacred 1 and 2 before we had children whom I am now, in turn, introducing to the first 2 games. The treatment of the series for the 3rd entry, which we preordered despite the warning signs (last time I made that error in judgment), was insipid and repulsive. I loathe Sacred 3 at least it did force us to search out alternatives like Path of exile, Grim dawn and Titan quest where we had hundreds of hours of indulgence and enjoyment.

Didn't find your video of great games that didn't get a sequel... Just in case, here a few suggestions: LA Noire - Bully - Jade Empire - Bloodborne - Sleeping Dogs - Alpha Protocol - Spec Ops The Line - Okami - Bulletstorm - Vanquish - Enslaved - The Order: 1886 - Sekiro - Freedom Fighters - Tyranny - Viking: Battle for Asgard... Some franchise stand-alones: Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, Prey, MGS: Revengeance, The Simpsons Hit and Run, Star Wars: Republic Commando. And older games: Grim Fandango, Vagrant Story, Arcanum, Eternal Darkness, Arx Fatalis, The Nomad Soul (different universe than others QD's games).

I played ME Andromeda a few years after it came out and I found that I actually like the characters introduced, particularly feel in love with Peebee, and the freedom it gave you in terms of building your Ryder with its power tree. But I was really annoyed with how often quests would bug out and something I needed to progress a side quest would glitch out and I was stuck with a quest I could never finish since a vital piece to progress was quite literally non existent. Story was boring at best and it felt like despite the studio having a decent concept for the game, they dropped the ball with the potential they had. Overall was kinda let down story wise

I might have had a different opinion at full price but at $2.99 Andromeda was a great bargain bin purchase.

Ideas for part 3 : Project Cars 3, Outlast 2 , Far Cry New Dawn.

Has Red Alert 3 been on the list? Two words: Forced Co-op. I could not get past that. I wanted to build up my base, do my scouting, produce my blob and enjoy the story shenanigans. But instead I was saddled with an AI player that was either really dumb and hoovered up all the resources, or aggressively good, hoovered up all the resources, and played the mission for me. Remove the AI co-op player and I am down.

Basically most games nowadays,its like people stopped putting in effort and it makes me sad

Crackdown was such a fun game, for how simple and somewhat generic it was. Crackdown 2 definitely deserves to be on this list. Same with RedFaction, the first was great, Red Faction Guerilla, not so much. And Mercenaries, same deal there.

You missed the part where Tiberium Twilight was named after the Twilight books. They polled fans for the name and the fans decided to troll EA.

The subtle amount of dislikes always remind me how honest you guys are when it comes to reviewing and taking a look back at games. I greatly appreciate that and find myself to agree more with you guys than not. Keep being real!

Y’all deserve 10 mil. Through everything Gameranx does, this is a 20 mil channel MINIMUM.

I love Falcon’s digs at EA, but you know what its absolutely warranted 😂😂 Good vid again guys cant wait for a part 3 of this 🤍

I still believe that Max Payne 3 needs to make one of these lists - maybe not a "worst ever", but a "damn that was bad" list. Distinct lack of ammo, the EXTREME linearity, and the removal of all the humor. It really really wasn't good. Max Payne 1 and (especially) Max Payne 2 were someof my favorite games of that era. 3 just.... no. And do NOT get me started on the loading times. 25GB+ game and they installed 6GB of data to the hard-disc?!!?!?!?? Gimme a break.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts was a FANTASTIC game. It wasn't the Banjo-Kazooie sequel people wanted or expected, but it was very good for what it was.

I had no idea of Duke Nukem development until the game came out and I loved it. I still replay it from time to time. The expansion was great as well.

I love your channel! Thank you for making such great videos every day! 👍

I played Andromeda about 2yrs after release. Plays the OT for years before it. Andromeda is not a bad game.

I liked Dead Space 3! It wasn't as scary as the first two, but I liked the weapon crafting because it made Isaac flex his engineering degree and the weapon possibilities were cool, and the final boss and the lore around it were quite the reveal. Yes, EA mucked it up, but I had a lot of fun it regardless. I hope we get Dead Space 4, and it features a refined crafting system and Isaac, Ellie and Carver scrambling to find a way to defeat the (redacted)

The first few harry potter games were such good games as a kid, it really hurts what they did to the series after 3

I played Mass Effect Andromeda at launch on PC and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. I also didn't have the issues that most people had with it. I just really like the Mass Effect world and lore as a whole.

Me and my dad used to love playing command and conquer, sad to see one of its sequels on the list

I jjust finish ME Andromeda and is pretty good, really once you get the game mechanics its actually good game, with much better ending than ME3

I enjoyed Crackdown 2 once I unlocked the Quackers grenade. That thing made the final boss area an absolute breeze. And it was satisfying to clear out hordes of enemies by throwing a rubber ducky at them. Wish it had more of what made the first game fun, but oh well

You should do a list of the best card games in video games.

The worst part about Dead Space 3 is that you could still find glimpses of some quality horror in those optional side missions. But it just seems like the gutted out the horror in general. It's similar to what happened with the F.E.A.R. series.

"But whenever I turn on the game to reevaluate, I end up just wanting to take a nap." 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely amazing that you quickly covered the list for part 1

Amazing list! Resi 6 and Dino crisis 3 should be in one these lists soon!

I so loved the Alone in the dark remake. Was so disappointed the PC port was broken to unplayable.

I just played the Dead Space trilogy for the first time in October this year. LOVED 1 & 2, but 3 felt off right from the jump. I can't really explain it, but just from a game sense standpoint, it didn't feel like the previous 2. There wasn't really a feeling of seclusion and terror right off to put you on edge right at the start, and even the controls felt awkward, despite being the same from DS2. Add in the mandatory co-op to participate in some parts of the story, and it's just off-putting.

Andromeda was good. I can't change my mind. yes it had some down but I still think its worth playing and I enjoyed it

I think I'm one of the few that actually liked every single Devil May Cry game. Devil May Cry 2 was not a bad game and DMC wasn't either.

Def Jam Icon killed one of the best fighting game franchises of all time. It deserves a proper comeback

I know it’s not the kind of game that you normally cover but, FIFA, they bring a new game out, year after year and they just get worse. Every year they only put money into the ultimate team side because they obviously make all the extra money from the micro transactions, then ignore the rest of the game. I want to play it but it’s not worth it at all anymore

Andromeda was a case of awesome idea, bad execution. Bugs aside it just couldn't live up to what it was trying to do. Which sucks becaue I'd love to see the series attempt something like that again but they never will after that mess

I didn't think ME:Andromeda was taht bad. Not the best but not taht bad either. Maybe it's because I have played it years after release where all the fixes were applied already. Kinda liked the planet exploration, especially the ruins, and the characters. Combat was also fun.

sacred 3 was ....i mean what can i say? i played sacred 2 at least 4 times. 1200 hours at least. i was so pumped and jazzed for part 3....i remember seeing early concept art and clips. my friend and myself preordered it. i went bright and early to pick my copy up. i got home and threw that bad boy into the system. 2 hours later i was on the phone with my friend warning him not to buy it. that we had been swindled. i returned the game that morning and got my money back at ebgames. lucky for me, my edge card had a 9 day satisfaction guarantee i could use.

DMC was so bad, only managed 3.5 hour before uninstalling it for good.

I loved Alone in the Dark and Crackdown 2 was fun.
