A lot of video game franchises have that "bad sheep" or "bad omen."
That one game that basically brought the series down, and either made it so they stopped making those games, or made it so the other games after it didn't sell as well.
For me I can think of two of them.
Suikoden IV
and
Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter
Suikoden IV
it wasn't that it was a bad story line... cause story line was actually quite good. What killed it was that it lost a lot of the "Suikoden" feel to it. Most of the 108 stars were just Thrown into the game and didn't make a lot of sense. The gameplay of travelling by ship to go to... 9 places or something, was just so boring... Overall this game almost killed Suikoden series, to the point where Konami doesn't even wanna think about releasing anymore games over seas... so sad
I really loved this series....
Breath Of Fire: Dragon Quarter
I don't even know where to begin with this game.... Breath of Fire's 1-4 were all fantasy RPG's with a classic feel RPG... And Dragon Quarter became... like a dungeon crawler type of game. This upset so many fans, and get some pretty bad reviews on it, after this game, there was not another Breath Of Fire ever made.... again another good RPG series that died from one game.
So what are some games of bad Omens you know about? Did you actually like the game or hate it?
