ITT: Great games that deserves a sequel but never got one.

It was doomed from the start.
The reason that console shooters moved away from the arena roots of the genre and toward cover-heavy level design and slow movement is that the limits of controller-based aiming more or less mandate it. Doubly so since the game struggled to maintain 30FPS.
When comparing Vanquish to, say, Gears of War, the success of Gears as a TPS is because the game was designed such that sitting around for a second lining up a shot was an integral mechanic.
If Vanquish had been a PC release it maybe could have tapped into the Twitch/Arena playerbase that was (at the time) hungry for a high-speed shooter and been a much bigger financial success.
C'est la vie
Mass Effect, Mirror's Edge.
Talos Principle? That's still out in the open, right?

what?

Talos is new enough that it's not fair to say it "never got" a sequel.
Mirror's Edge is literally getting a sequel.
Mass Effect got 2 sequels.
Are you sure you read the OP?
i dont know what i expected when i bought vanquish, probably something more in line with bayonetta or some shit im not entirely sure, but man this game let me down
way less sliding and crazy shit happening than i thought there would be based on gameplay videos and trailers and man if the final boss/ending wasnt the most anti-climatic garbage fucking imaginable

Your assessment is fair IMO.
But if you want to play Bayonetta: Fast Third Person Shooter Elements Edition, grab Transformers Devastation

Fuck you, Vanquish was the shit and the final boss was incredible.

Fuck off.
Victor Zaitsev was the perfect villain.

Why can't we have more Antagonists like him?

>final boss is literally just 2 of a boss you've already fought before and it played no differently
It's different if you actually played it
>its not even the actual main villain
And what does that change?
>you end it with a quicktime event
I see no problem with that, since a final battle is present. Unlike shadow of mordor

>It's different if you actually played it
I did play it and all you had to do was dash around while taking potshots at them because the AI was atrocious.
>And what does that change?
The fact that that the whole fight was set up for the big reveal of "wow that wasnt even the actual main villain!" and you think surely now I will fight the TRUE main boss because that fight was pretty shit, then the game just fucking ends. Anti-climatic and lame as fuck.

Fucking love this game. The energy management mechanics are fantastic. The story was meh but the gameplay is fantastic.
