Another Top 10 Amazing Games That Never Got a Sequel


[Music]
it’s a travesty but the only thing
getting a sequel around here is the list
about things that never got a sequel
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for another
top 10 amazing video games that never
got a sequel strike two reading over an
elderly person without a license for
this list we’re looking at a variety
video games that despite receiving
critical acclaim never had a follow-up
games released after 2012 will not be
included as there’s still a chance that
they’ll get a sequel additionally if
there is a game you think we missed
check out our first video regarding the
subject as it may be shown there so now
you’re gonna tell me you loved her
ah the DA goes all gooey over remorse
shit number 10 vampire the masquerade
bloodlines my faux kindred my apologies
for disrupting any business or
interfering with prior engagements you
may have had this evening inspired by
the tabletop role-playing game of the
same name bloodlines has the players
controlling either a male or female
character who has been resurrected into
a vampire after their grisly murder much
of the game’s praise was in regard to
the vast amount of choice that had
offered the players I’ve suddenly got ya
walk down that dark and foreboding alley
over there good Johnny with an expansive
group of clans to interact with
branching choices and characters
reacting to you based on your actions
and clan loyalty bloodlines provided a
deep gaming world that was definitely
ahead of its time and a pleasure for you
to sink your teeth into bugs in the
initial release
sadly prevented this title from getting
the recognition it deserved heck if only
day one patches were a thing back in
2004 allowing you to live makes me
directly responsible for your subsequent
behavior so what I’m offering is not
generosity but the opportunity to
transcend the fate woven by your sire
number nine The Simpsons hit and run be
more you write you write a good licensed
video game isn’t exactly an easy thing
to come across so whenever halfway
decent one comes around it’s something
to be appreciated the simpsons hit and
run was much more than just decent
however with several members of the
creative team behind the show helping to
craft the story and dialogue 40
helping to provide enough then take
Simpsons experience for fans of
franchise I destroyed the limo and
killed Bart
hahaha no murderer EB he wasn’t in the
limo he got out and he boarded that ship
can you take me there nah I hate the
sheep players adored being able to step
into the shoes of all their favorite
characters and live out Grand Theft Auto
style antics and mayhem in a fully
realized Springfield sandbox with such a
positive reception and the show still
going strong it’s a mystery why Fox
didn’t take advantage of this hit and
run with it
look at these space ratings for foolish
earthlings
what happened King foolish earthlings
used to be the number one reality show
in the galaxy number 8 Sleeping Dogs
your job was to get close to Winston now
that’s not much of a strategy get close
to open your eyes Raymond I am Winston
now with him gone I’ll be taking this
place you want the Chairman I report to
him do you want the red poles I’m one of
them originally planned as another entry
in the true crime series Sleeping Dogs
had a fairly lengthy and troubled
production cycle despite all the hurdles
the dev team faced they still managed to
create an addictive open-world action
game with a fun combat system and they
even throw in some RPG elements for good
measure
if this is what the developers were able
to produce from a troubled production
just imagine what they could do if a
sequel had a smooth progress all the way
through it could take advantage of newer
hardware to create a larger environment
with even more to do unfortunately with
developer united front games closing
down the chances that this sleeping dog
will ever wake up are not very high way
and look like shit hey you number-7
enslaved odyssey to the west
I come from uniform community it’s about
300 miles from here never make it on my
own made by the same team behind
Heavenly Sword and the Devil May Cry
reboot this third-person action game was
truly a fresh gameplay experience if a
game served as a reimagining of the
classic Chinese novel Journey to the
West swapping the source materials
fantasy based elements for a
post-apocalyptic sci-fi approach
slaveship 9:09
enroute to pyramid you have been
assessed and any injuries sustained
during your capture has been designated
the experience was just the right
balance of fun and challenge the
graphics were full of lush colors and
the motion capture talents of Andy
Serkis featured within were widely
praised enslaved also featured plenty of
emotional and funny moments which all
added to its thrills for a complete
gaming package another entry was planned
but the game unfortunately sold very
poorly crushing any chance of seeing
this Odyssey continue
number six spec ops the line evacuation
by failure deaths coal
here we find yet another video game
inspired by a classic novel this one set
in a sort of quasi post-apocalyptic
setting in this instance developer
Jaeger development drew from Joseph
Conrad’s Heart of Darkness to come up
with the narrative and scenarios for
this action-packed shooter the
interesting twist that they went for is
how the game was designed to be
purposely upsetting and overly graphic
making the players question their
actions as well as calling to attention
to many horrors that war can bring about
are those civilians
where they come from there’s no camp
here they took them from the nest this
unconventional perspective for a
military themed video game earned the
studio several nominations for their
storytelling the same can’t be said on
the financial side of things though as
SpecOps tanked sales wise that’s
impressive oh well you know you said it
not me
number five vagrant story
[Music]
Sony’s original PlayStation was the home
to many of gaming’s finest RPGs
including parasite eve persona
Xenogears and a little thing called
Final Fantasy despite all of those heavy
hitters already on the system vagrant
story was somehow able to avoid being
overshadowed thanks to its intelligent
and creative design the combat system
was innovative and deep and its story
was highly compelling it also deviated
from RPG norms with no towns or shops
instead the player was given a robust
weapon customization system at their
disposal the icing on the cake was the
breathtaking character models and
backgrounds which pushed the graphical
capabilities of the console to their
limits it’s a shame that the story
didn’t really get to continue
number four Bulletstorm
you feel that first-person shooters are
kind of a dime a dozen these days well
there’s no shame in agreeing as the
gaming landscape is practically littered
with military based shooters with not so
much to differentiate them epic games
the people behind gear of war looked to
change the norms of the genre with this
fast paced shooter that was bursting at
the seams with stylish action and crass
fewer bullets storm is so special
because it encouraged the player to get
creative with their kills rewarding them
with points based on what kind of zany
violent tendencies they’ve pulled off
this allowed players to play the game
their way
propelling it into a category of
shooters that aren’t just your standard
move from point A to point B affairs
attacks my pet play race to the freaks
number 3 LA noire come on we have a
cloak captain thanks ray
be careful Phelps this is his game
you’re playing now we’re all used to
playing characters on the opposite side
of the law in Grand Theft Auto but
switching up the open-world crime
formula LA noire tasks us with playing
the cops instead of the robbers and
delivered an experience like no other
the game was noteworthy for its stunning
motion capture technology in how it was
able to simulate realistic facial
animations this went hand in hand with
the interrogation sections helping to
make you feel like a real detective on
the case along Jacob it was falling
apart and things got violent I’m not
lying I’m telling you how it was the
really sad part is not only did this
game not receive a sequel but it was
developer team bond eyes only release
before they were shut down just a few
months after LA noire launched brutality
on a scale such as this deserves
retribution the people and the press of
this city demand number 213 in your
deposition you even added that you don’t
feel like a killer
how touching but the law doesn’t operate
on feelings now does it here we have
another standout first-person shooter
that emphasizes a lot more than just bam
pow boo boo boo taking full advantage of
its Belgian graphic novel roots 13
rocked a cel-shaded visual art style
long before Borderlands was ever even a
concept there is not a single moment in
the entire game that doesn’t make you
feel like you’re moving through the
pages of a comic book with sound effects
appearing and big onomatopoeia letters
on screen as well as panels popping up
to show objectives and other in-game
defense perhaps the most annoying part
though is that the game engine on a
cliffhanger to set up an intended sequel
so where’s that sequel Ubisoft the
fireworks not to your liking mr. fly
before we reveal our number one pick
here if you want herbal mentions
number one Jade Empire nice little town
you have here not a lot of guards are
there
how are your stocks of food before
developer Bioware launched Twitter smash
hit RPGs Mass Effect and Dragon Age they
put together a little game called Jade
Empire which was unanimously met with
overwhelming critical praise from
critics and gamers alike it’s very clear
that tons of love went into crafting
this experience as it boasted an
incredibly epic and moving storyline set
in a fictional Kingdom inspired by
ancient China nearly every aspect that
makes a great game was finely tuned here
the gameplay was hard-hitting and
addictive the music was exciting the
graphics were stunning and as icing on
the cake Jade Empire introduced the
romance system before the aforementioned
Mass Effect this one just screamed
franchise all over it so where the heck
are the other installments what happened
do you agree with our list which video
game do you feel deserves a sequel I
trust that my men went too rough on you
officer you might ask them the same
question sir those guys are out of shape
for more top 10s that we promise will
keep coming every day be sure to
