    Most of them lol, but specifically:

    • Fallout: This hurts the most. It was my gateway into CRPGs when I was too young to be playing them. My favorite part was the atmosphere. The world felt hopeless and like the survivors' hanging on was futile. Fast forward to Bethesda and everything now is quirky and funny and retro!! It sucks the mood right out of the game. 76 dialed that up to 11.

    • Mass Effect 3: That was the last time I was really excited for a game. I loved BioWare's work at the time and was ready for the end of the trilogy which turned out like ass.

    • Diablo 3: I spent a lot of time in Diablo 2 and was very hyped for the sequel. Visuals aside, what I disliked the most was the writing. IMO once they got into WoW where they had to write more than an RTS cutscene's worth of dialogue, they fall into this campy way of writing that just kills it for me.

    Aside from video games, the new Star Trek stuff is awful. The sequel trilogy for Star Wars was a disaster. I could probably think of a lot more shit, but it's getting depressing enough lol.

    EDIT: I'll fucking say it, Chrono Cross. Trigger was another extremely formative game for me and Cross should've been called anything but a sequel to it.
