Varia mentioning buying Star Ocean: Till the End of Time made me think about all the other games that were just vastly and ruinously different from thier predicessors. Star Ocean: The Second Story was fast-paced and FUN, whereas TtEoT was really boring, and completely changed the feel of the combat for the worse, as well as having a really bogus story.
I for one think that Devil May Cry 2 is one of the biggest shames of all time. (Thankfully, Capcom made up for it with DMC3, which was really fun.) It was just... I don't even know how to describe how terrible it was.
I think Warcraft 3 is up there. Warcraft 2 was pretty good. Starcraft was amazing. Warcraft 3 changed it up to be more of an RPG than a Real-Time Strategy. Wasn't a big fan of multiplayer, although the single player was pretty cool.
Final Fantasy 7. (I know I'm going to get some hate for this, but oh well.) No longer are we dealing with a majority fantasy world. We also have to put up with a terrible translation job and bland characters (in combat, in combat. Materia made your guy, so the particulars of who was fighting became largely unimportant unlike previous FF games). I don't know of a whole lot of people that started with previous FF installments that particularly care for this installment. If it was my first exposure to the series, I might have liked it, I admit.
Knights of the Old Republic 2. Way to finish your ****ing game. It's like it was only 50% finished before they put it out, hoping the modding community would finish building it for them. My friend who's in the NWN2 beta says that NWN2 is largely the same way and to avoid buying it for awhile.
