disappointing third games










I'm playing through Crysis 3 right now, and I'm thinking of other well known series with not necessarily bad third games (although some might think they are) but those that just didn't hold up to the first and second ones. Also, I'm aware AC and FO aren't technically the third installment.

AC, Doom, Mass Effect, Fable, and Fallout don't belong there. AC 3 was good, Doom was good with duct tape mod, ME ending sucked but was solid up until then, Fable tried a new thing and the loading screens sucked but was interesting, and Fallout 3 was good. And better than Fallout 4.

Kingdom Hearts 3 was nowhere near as good as 2. Though I suppose it isn't really the third instalment.

The only third installment I was disappointed in off the top of my head was Luigi's Mansion 3. It was alright, but didn't do anything better than either of the prior two games.

Spyro 3, Ratchet and Clank 3, Dark Soul 3, Sly Cooper 3

I mean none of them are really that bad, but my brain has not compartmentalized this question in a way where I can pull something out as being a bad third installment, so this is what I got.

Dammit, would have selected Other: This, but I keep forgetting there's a third Lunar.

I picked Ninja Gaiden 3 because OG NG3 is absolute trash. Razor's Edge is at least decent, but the original 3.... no.

I can't decide between ME3 and Dead Space 3. ACIII also killed the series for me but I'm sure there are worse titles in AC.

This is a good one. They went from arguably one the best fighting games of all time to something boring after the first couple matches

I've seen a lot of people say that the third Spyro and Ratchet games are their favorite and I just don't get it. Spyro has all of those levels where you play as the godawful secondary characters and Ratchet has levels which are literally just multiplayer maps they threw enemies into.

For some reason platformers tend to run out of ideas by the third installment and they try to make up for it with a bunch of weird quirks to switch up the gameplay. It feels like half the game in Sly 3 is just minigames.

Ninja Gaiden 3, but the NES version. It took so many steps backwards after how great 1 and 2 were. Slower, floaty gameplay, no checkpoints, limited continues.

Of those listed, AC3. To make it worse, the game is at it's best during the prologue (before you play at the main character) and the prolgoue ends with one of the best plot twists in any form of media ever. The game is downhill after that, and the conclusion of the modern day story is a huge fucking joke.

Doom 3 was great, despite the fact that it really isnt a Doom game. Loved fallout 3, but Im one of those filthy casuals that never played the 2d ones. Never played the other options. Bio shock:Infinite should have been an option.

Mass Effect 3 ending is so bad , it made people forget how bad the main plot was. Mass Effect was just so bad. I am playing the first one now , and I am so sad that by the end I will get that damn star child.

Ninja Garden 3 (the newer ones, never played the older ones).

I played Ninja Gaiden Black and it was excellent.
I played Ninja Gaiden II and I must be one of few people who liked it more than NGB.
I played Ninja Gaiden Sigma II and some areas were an improvement but the took steps back in other areas.

Ninja Gaiden 3 comes out as the first game without the previous designer...what is this? One weapon and completely different play style.
I played Razor's Edge and although an improvement, it's still a steaming pile of rubbish in comparison to what we had before. It's the different play style and mechanics that I can't get on with. NGII actually felt like you were a Ninja taking out armies. This had less enemies and they just became awkward to deal with.

Dead Space 3 really screwed things up and it shows through out the game. They just werent allowed to complete the story. It totally got EAed.

Im psyched for Callisto Protocol though

Right, so all these games are slightly worse than the previous two, but Dungeon Keeper.... Dungeon Keeper is in a different league.
The Third installment of Dungeon Keeper that was released (Dungeon Keeper 3 was cancelled before release) is called Dungeon Keeper (2014 video game), and it's terrible, there's nothing redeeming about it, at all and it has mountains of In-app purchases.

Like Lunar:Dragon Song is an average game after two great games, but Dungeon Keeper is an Abysmal game that has multiple in-app purchases on top of being terrible.... Not even in the same ballpark.

AC 3 for me. Connor just sucked. He just sucked. Plus the gameplay wasn't as fun as 2 and brotherhood, the wilderness sucked, and the optional objectives were out of control in that game.
"BuT tHeY aRe OpTiOnAl!!!!"

Yeah, but it feels like you are completing the mission, but not completing it the "right" way.

Also the modern day story conclusion was embarrassing.
