Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Bad:

Nobody asked for a dumbed down consolized version of Deus Ex

Good:

Nobody was really asking for a new turn based X-Com either, but one appeared out of nowhere and it is great.

 

[DoublePayje]

Battlefield: Bad Company and Bad Company 2. No one ever asked for a Battlefield spinoff, many people thing it's the best parts of the series.

 

[Rodney McKay]

Pokemon Black 2/White2. You'd think after the first games were so horrible they'd try to pretend that B/W never existed and quickly move on to the next generation.

What in the...

I agree that the games getting direct sequels (a first for Pokemon I think) was definitely unexpected and I don't think anyone specifically asked for them, but B/W are some of the best Pokemon games out there. The first (and pretty much only) games with a somewhat decent story and they had fantastic post-game content.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Literally no one asked for MK:SF

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Good game. Not the best musou though.

What is the best?

 

[EBE]

Bad:

50 Cent Bulletproof

GOAT:

50 Cent Blood on the Sand

 

[Tenebrous]

Final Fantasy XIV.

"Online?!?"

 

[Lijik]

today i learned a knack-style beatemup/platformer Invizimals game came out for the PS3. Certainly a contender

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Star Wars: TOR.

Never getting over no KOTOR 3. Never. >:-(

 

[daebo]

BMX XXX

 

[TheSpoiler]

What is the best?

Samurai Warriors 4 is definitely better than Zelda from a mechanics standpoint, in my opinion. And as for musou type games, Sengoku Basara is probably the best, but that's kind of unfair in the first place.

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

They saved it, but I'm not sure saved is the right word.

 

[KenOD]

The Goonies II.

I just can't imagine there was any gamers who looked at the original The Goonies on Famicom or NES PCs and thought there was a need for a sequel to it.

 

[Jarnet87]

Every triple A Ubisoft title for the past 10 years. Just stop guys, please. Go back to just making Rayman games for the sake of us all. Oh and more small stuff like Child of Light and Valiant Hearts.

Final Fantasy 13 side games.

 

[Killer Queen]

Kardashian/Kanye the mobile game.
Sonic 06/Boom

 

[Hikami]

Persona 4 spin offs
I'd classify them as "meh"

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Hey! Who wants a game your parents and grandparents will enjoy? Anyone?

 

[timmyp53]

Knack, a first party PS4 $60 launch title. Really though.



Lets hear some opinions!

Boy does Mark Cerny have a surprise for you.

 

[gelf]

Good: Katamari Damacy

Who in the world was asking for that? If we only had games designed by committee and focus grouping we would never have got a joyful game like Katamari.

 

[disappeared]

 

[MilesTeg]

Boy does Mark Cerny have a surprise for you.

I hope not.

 

[Piers]

Facade
And I am STILL asking for a spiritual successor.

 

[Sora the Cat]

I think it will be pretty good.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

Final Fantasy X-2

FF X-2, the first game was great and it ended perfectly. It's a shame X-2 had to come and ruin everything.

Didn't this game actually happen because many fans were clamoring for it after the ending to the original game?

In any case, I think Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is a double-serving of people never anticipating the initial concept (SMT x FE) and people never expecting what it actually ended up like.

 

[MilesTeg]

Hey! Who wants a game your parents and grandparents will enjoy? Anyone?

I actually heard someone IRL recently say they were gonna rebuy a Wii just for Wii Sports lol. Nintendo really messed up with that IP.

 

[Krappadizzle]

I'm so glad they made it though.

 

[DragonOfWisdom]

Paper Mario Color Splash

 

[MilesTeg]

I'm so glad they made it though.

And now everyone expects a sequel like yesterday. Hope a reveal is coming soon. This generation needs a new Rockstar game.

 

[Pokemaniac]

Every Paper Mario game after TTYD. Super Paper Mario turned out good, but Sticker Star was awful. The jury is still out on Color Splash, but that game has an uphill battle to prove itself after its reveal trailer.

 

[Chanser]

Spoiler

I love it.

 

[FireBeaver]

Spoiler

I actually liked it quite a bit

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Journey? It kind of came from nowhere to me and quickly became one of my all time favorites.

 

[Caronte]

Darkspore. Instead of improving Spore to make it more like it was meant to be they decided to make an Action RPG with that franchise for some reason.

 

[IronicSonic]

Sonic Boom (all of them)

 

[RecRoulette]

Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare (love both of those games though)

 

[NinjamicWZ]

Knack, a first party PS4 $60 launch title.

Everyone's asked for Knack at least once.

 

[Guardian Monkey]

The Goonies II.

I just can't imagine there was any gamers who looked at the original The Goonies on Famicom or NES PCs and thought there was a need for a sequel to it.

The goonies wasnt on nes just goonies 2. Also it was a pretty decent game at that time around the same as festers quest playstyle.

Going back neogaf to old person cave now.

 

[High Fry Frow]

Internet indifference to this was so clear that it was almost physically palpable.

 

[Guardian Monkey]

I was going to say actually MGS5. The story was completely complete after MGS4. Thats why there is nothing left for five.

 

[ST2K]

Darkspore. Instead of improving Spore to make it more like it was meant to be they decided to make an Action RPG with that franchise for some reason.

Ooo, good call. I remember wondering what they were thinking with that.

 

[Aters]

Lightning Return
Why does it exist?

 

[shotgunbob04]

Good - Rocket League

Never would have thought to ask for soccer with rocket-powered cars. But once I saw the beta thread about a year ago, I thought, "that sounds fucking awesome". Played it and fell in love.

Bad - Secret Ponchos

A small, view-from-above, team-based, multiplayer game where you play as one of a few types of gunslingers in a wild-west setting. Was a PS Plus game in 2014, had loads of issues especially with matchmaking. Idea was cool, but execution was poor.

 

[daTRUballin]

Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.

Obviously bad as it killed the franchise.

I'm sure we'll see a new Banjo game at some point in this generation. Not all hope is lost.

I mean, it's arguably Rare's most well known IP. They have to revive it at some point, right? :/

 

[gafneo]

Tropical Freeze, even though its not too bad. I just had my DK fix with DKCR.

 

[Two Words]

 

[daTRUballin]

Tropical Freeze, even though its not too bad. I just had my DK fix with DKCR.

Translation: I was bitter they didn't make a Metroid Prime 4.

Spoiler

Am I right?

 

[Wowfunhappy]

Red Steel 2!

Turned out to be a pretty good game--one of the better uses of Motion+

 

[nitekrawlwer]

Oh Dragon's Dogma. I did not ask for thee, and yet you graced me with your presence.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Tropical Freeze, even though its not too bad. I just had my DK fix with DKCR.

Tropical Freeze is one of the greatest games of all time.

 

[diaspora]

Tropical Freeze is one of the greatest games of all time.

DK games aren't the best of anything. TF specifically isn't even the best game on Wii U. I'll second Tropical Freeze and throw #FE in there.
