10 Video Games So Bad They KILLED OTHER GAMES

10. Dino Crisis 3

The crash and burn of the Dino Crisis franchise is infamous among Capcom fans by this point. One of the all-time great self-destructions of a once-great cult classic game series, and it's all thanks to the broken slog that was Dino Crisis 3.

The Dino Crisis series was Capcom's other survival horror series that ran concurrently with Resident Evil. While it had, and still has, its fans, it always struggled to establish its own identity besides "Resident Evil but now the pretty woman is shooting at dinosaurs". If it had worked, Dino Crisis 3's more sci-fi/action-heavy approach would have been the shot in the arm it needed to get mainstream attention. 

But that's not what happened, is it? 

Instead, Dino Crisis 3 was an unmitigated disaster. A clunky, janky example of ambition exceeding talent. Useless weapons, overpowered enemies, environments that are way too damn large, topped with easily one of the worst cameras in gaming history. 

Naturally, Dino Crisis 3 killed the franchise dead. We know very little about Dino Crisis 4, but we do know that it was in development around the time that 3 was released, only to be swiftly canceled thanks to the critical and financial thrashing that 3 received.
