10 Worst Video Game Sequels Of ALL TIME

10. Mega Man X7

When Mega Man X6 was met with scathing reviews, Capcom was eager to go in a new and bold direction for the next instalment. Although the X series always followed a standard 2D platform set-up, the developers revised Mega Man X7 into a cel-shaded third-person shooter which blended 2D and 3D graphics.

But because Capcom put so much focus on making X7 different, they forgot to make it... y'know... good. The weapons are unbalanced, the level design is lazy, the music is forgettable, and the gameplay is tedious.

The game also has a nasty habit of skipping dialogue during crucial moments. If a characters’ dialogue jumps to the next line before the previous line finishes, players can miss vital information, making it difficult to follow instructions or complete objectives.

Also, you can't play as Mega Man for the first-half of the game, despite being the title character! So... that's just false advertising!

Even though the franchise has always been strong in the boss department, the Reploids in this entry are uncreative and generic.

However, there's one boss who deserves special mention - Flame Hyneard. Because this guy keeps yelling "Burn to the ground!" for the whole battle, he's often regarded as one of the most annoying bosses in gaming. Although this sounds like a nitpick, Flame Hyenard's dialogue skipping, janky animations, and badly programmed fighting pattern perfectly demonstrates everything wrong with this dire sequel.
