Here is a fun example:
Suikoden I and II were incredible games, while III was decent. However...we all can recall the devastation of Suikoden IV. That was a big example for me since I loved the suikoden serie, yet had confidence that IV could still be a decent game (as III was pretty decent). Unfortunately that was not the case and I was hesitant in trying out V due to the poor quality of IV.

I agree entirely with what you said. I practically didn't even consider V since after what I had experienced in IV, it made me feel like Suikoden was sorta like the Sonic games where it just hadn't managed to make the transition from 2d to 3d very well. I've never been more happy to have been wrong than I was after I started playing V and how it brought back that special Suikoden "feeling" that the other games had.
Another game that left me disappointed was La Pucelle Tactics. After having enjoyed Disgaea's gameplay as much as I had, I was looking forward to playing something similar, but more serious in tone. Maybe I didn't pay attention to the previews enough or what, but La Pucelle's same "goofiness" in things like its music made the game lose its appeal with me very quickly, and I've never picked it back up since the second day or so after I bought it. It was actually due to that, that I haven't purchased anymore of NIS's games since they've all seemed so similar to Disgaea and I figure I'd rather try to finish Disgaea than buy more games like it that I won't be able to finish.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
