Ok so we all know that some games are just awful. Whether it maybe because of the story or gameplay some games fall short of the developers intentions. So what i ask you is what games old or new deserve sequels even though the first game is considers by the majority trash.
Bad games that deserve better sequels
Hm, Jedi Academy. While it isn't a REALLY bad game, it's still bad if you compare it to Jedi Outcast. The single player levels were no where near as good, making the player control Jaden Korr instead of Kyle was a terrible idea because Kyle basically is the Jed Knight series. He's been in Dark Forces, Dark Forces II, DFII mysteries of the Sith and Jedi Outcast, why the heck would they randomly change the main character? Ugh.
Assassin's Creed.
They've got a damn good engine, and they have great controls... now they just need to give us some actual content.

Granted the gameplay was awful, but the concept for the story had potential."
good concept?
not really, It's been done
but just saw big rigs and agree

Not that I thought it was bad per se, but WET deserves a second chance and a much better sequel. It has a whole lot of charm and great ideas behind it, but its clear that A2M simply ran out of time. The entire final level was a long series of quick-time events and the audio track doesn't even seem complete throughout the whole thing :(
" Red Steel. "This, and while I have full faith the sequel will be great it is a new setting, new characters, new guns, new moves. Everything. Despite the game play flaws I thought the style and story of Red Steel was damn cool and wanted to see a sequel to that.
The Man In The High Castle

I know it's not a bad game by any means (in fact, it's one of my favorites). but I'd like to see a sequel to The Darkness. Preferably with the Angelus and Witchblade.
" Yoshi's Story. "I just recently played this game.. Never understood the hate it recieved before, I assumed it was just like the SNES version.
After playing it, I honestly can't believe how bad it was and how much it deviated from the original..
It's probably the only game I've ever played that I really wish I hadn't.
I'd love another proper Mega Man X sequel. While I actually loved MegaMan X8, many people think the series totally went downhill after X4, never fully redeeming itself. I think the 3D perspective/2D gameplay worked great with the formula. I don't think Capcom is interested in doing another one though, they might do another MegaMan ZX type game on the DS but I'd actually love a next-gen X game...provided they could pull it off well. It's a tired formula, maybe... but it would be cool if they could mess with it to come up with something fresh, yet familiar.
Kane and Lynch. The game was developed by an otherwise trustworthy studio and there are some brilliant concepts there, specifically the idea behind the multiplayer. However the execution was terrible, the game was buggy, rushed and looked really uneven. The story could have been good, but ended up wrapping up in a really weird way hurting the chance of a good story in a sequel. I feel like if they spent more time working on making the game playable, then it would have been good, maybe even possible to overlook how awful the story ended.
However the idea of sequels is just annoying to me. People or at least the suits in the production companies invest way too much in the "name" of a franchise. I understand that it is fun to rob banks, but do we really need to call it Kane and Lynch? I get that war is a good topic for a video game, but seriously Spec Ops? What are they really going to lose by calling them something else, starting a new story and not having real gamers draw comparisons from a totally under par product?
EDIT: Let me add that I think a far more interesting topic would be: "Great Games That Don't Need Sequels"
Bioshock and Dead Space both pop out at me.

"They should Make JK5 follow up after the dark side ending where you play as Kyle and have to hunt down Jaden. Of course they could just follow up the light side ending and make you play as Kyle in a totally unrelated story. Still, that dark side ending sets up what could be a pretty interesting scenario.

Yeah, another Mega Man X would be awesome.
