Aliens: Colonial Marines
Good job
It's sequel to be more presise.
It is not, in fact, a Final Fantasy game.
Extremely wrong, and wrong.

Arrogant Smirk
A game so overrated that every subsequent game tries to copy its design. The game has the most unbalanced multiplayer of any game last gen with a specific setup being a absolute juggernaut to stop. The campaign barely makes sense and it's only held highly because it was new and different.
Is the zelda you are talking about A link between worlds?

Mine:
A man responsible for thousands of deaths due to his refusal to bend his ridiculous moral code repeatedly engages the exact same foes via leaping in circles like an idiot and apparently striking with all the force of a wet noodle. Enjoy dividing your time between this tedious exercise in futility and collecting an obscene amount of pointless collectibles.
A cult classic JRPG series filled with way too many words. Aside from an overly simplistic battle system that you'll master within the first three hours of the game, the gameplay never evolves and might as well be non-existent. After trudging through forty hours of trite story and mindless combat, you're hit with the world's most predictable plot twist and then asked to play its sequel where you get to endure the exact same combat system for another 70+ hours.

Aw, close enough!
When you say "copies its design" do you mean every other game in the series tries to copy this one? Or that other games try and copy it?
Most people aren't even aware that game got a sequel.

Mine is a game in a long running series where a tall man impersonates Jesus in front of thousands of people and it is the only thing anybody remembers about the game

Arkham City/Origins/Knight
Every game last gen
Reposted with new hints
This licensed franchise had 3 entries, which, while divisive, were DRAMATICALLY different from the 4th and last.
The last game went through a dramatic change because someone in charge thought the previous titles soiled the license's image.
So they dropped the name, ripped off the game that the original set out NOT to be, shortened it, and added fireworks.
-------
Another one with a similar story.
Third game in a series. So different from the previous two that most laughed it off.
Reduced the player count and added a very strange core mechanic involving the levels (essentially put magic into a somewhat realistic game). Took itself way too seriously and went straight into the bargain bin.

Hint
both ps360 gen EA games that were sequels to ps2/gcn/xbox games. One is sports. The other is fighting
Yep. Can't stand how's it's being propped up as one of the best games in its genre when it doesn't even hold a candle to mediocre jrpgs like Tales.

Yep, take your pick. And yet for some reason I still bought Knight... I have no idea why.
Is it the original modern warfare then? Because thats a game that people aped a lot last gen, and it fits most of your criteria.

Let's beat this mentally deficient woman up, then sequentially beat other three women just like her.

We could name Zelda games all day here and never get it right. Requires more thinking outside the box and more finger quotes.
Honest to goodness FMV, I believe. If it isn't, I don't know what else they were storing on those discs...
Yep cod 4
I was originally going to put cod 4 as my original answer, but MW2 just did everything you listed so much worse with a even more nonsensical plot, horridly unbalanced mp, that I figured that would be the one.
Also, was I right about your first post?

FPS with a worse community than Call of Duty.
K, last guess from me for the Zelda game. Is it Phantom Hourglass?

Wow, that was quick. Now I'm out of games I actually hate.
The Legend of Dragoon?
Counter strike

Nobody guessed mine. Not even a stab. Hmm.
I'll repost it, just in case:
Now, time to guess one for myself:
I'll repost it, just in case:
You're a very young child, and your goal is to collect a quota of glowing toys before reaching the goal. If you get hit, you lose all your toys in lieu of dying, Sonic-style, forcing you to collect them all over again. You can die instantly if you fall too far. Jump is on the B button; the A button does nothing. One of the first games I played that made me realize that licensed games kind of are garbage on average (the ones I'd played to that point weren't half bad).
This is probably obscure enough that I can be as specific as this yet it'll still take a while to answer correctly, but we'll see.

I was gonna say Phantom Hourglass, but your last post implied it wasn't actually a Zelda game in name, so... Darksiders 2?
Much further outside the box.

It's dark as shit. There are monsters everywhere. It looks like there are a few ghosts running around. No one is talking to me or advising me. I'm lost and I don't know what to do.There are monsters here! I got killed, but I'm back and my character looks like he's been through hell.
Going to repost my last one, and honestly it shouldn't be hard to figure out.
I just had 2 PR disasters. Now I'm melting. No wait, I just fell through the world. Oh, the game is working now? Please enjoy a game with piss poor frame rate, poor combat and movement, a protagonist with some of the worst reasoning for what he is doing, all of these pretty much destroy almost any credibility and good will this series had.

Sonic 06.
Batman: Arkham City?
Still stumped on the non-FF linear RPG with lots of FMVs and a conceptually interesting but actually dull battle system except for one fight with multiple discs...
Is Japanese or Western developed too telling?
AC Unity?
1.We follow a poor caricature of a once-beloved video game icon through sleep-inducing levels on a terribly told journey to find a dear relative only to shoot them in the face a second after we've found them.
2.A game whose main gameplay should consist of jumping from rooftop to rooftop but whose cities have streets most of which are too wide to jump over. Featuring a terrible story, dumb missions and an incredibly boring protagonist.
