    Default What game was the biggest disappointment?

    Pretty straightforward thread. What game were you excited for, but when it was released turned out to be total crap? For me, I gotta say Mercenaries 2. I played the original one and had a blast and couldn't wait for the new and improved sequel to hit the shelves so I can start blowing things up.

    Mercenaries 2 was god awful in my opinion. From graphics to game play to the plot, I thought Mercenaries 2 failed to deliver....yo.

    Ditto on Mercs 2. I was so hyped up about a next gen free for all, and this shit hit the fan. Played the demo and left it at that.

    Just picked up Too Human for the 360. Got it for $9 off of the now defunct ("redesigned") Microsoft Expertzone. Haven't played it yet, but I have a feeling it still won't be worth my money. Seeing past reviews doesn't help much either. Should be a decent timewaster, but nothing more.

    Assassin's Creed, way too repetitive for me. The game doesn't change at all from the first level. Also many people will debate this but... Kingdom Hearts 2, it was just so much easier, different, and required no skill compared to the first that I had to force myself to play it.

    I don't really have a big disappointment because I rarely anticipate games.

    If I went based off reviewer hype and general buzz, Spore would have to do it for recent memory.

    I would also say that Heroes of Might and Magic IV was a pretty big letdown because Heroes 2 and 3 were both so great.

    On that note, Final Fantasy 8 probably qualifies because FF7 was a good game and FF8 was just terrible.

    The first Killzone was a big disappointment. It was okay, but did not live up to hype.

    I wouldn't say a game, but the Wii was a big disappointment. I was expecting a large slew of awesome titles that really took advantage of the Wii's motion sensing and pointer controller. Instead we got a stick wagging games.

    Spore definitely. Maybe Little Big Planet, I had massive expectations but it's still an awesome game. I suppose I kind of expected to be able to make amazing levels with no effort.

    Bioshock.
    by the reviews and the way people where throwing perfect scores at it like panties at a celebrity i was expecting something like.
    as soon as you put it in your system, god himself got down on his knees and gave you head.
    I put it in my xbox, and of course: No blowjob.

    Spore. This game wasn't revolutionary as promised. It was delayed like five years. I would have waited another two if that meant the game play improved.

    Age of Conan. I was in beta for months and it seemed like it was going to be bad as fuck when they worked out the bugs. Then they released, and all of the bugs were still there.

    I didn't anticipate it too much but Starcraft Ghost was pretty disappointing. All that hype only to get canceled.

    In recent memory...probably Far Cry 2 and GTA4. Otherwise, I'm going to agree with Atmosfear and say FF8.

    I like how it's set in Africa but FC2 was just not that amazing of the game.

    Overall, Spore made me very sad.

    Uh, after playing for 10 minutes I'm pretty sure I'm qualified to say that it's game of the year, hands down.

    HOMM 4 was relatively terrible, but only because it was ugly and limited in scope. HOMM 5 made it pretty, and smoothed out the bugs. The real problem is that 3D0 went under.

    I foolishly decided to buy Dirge of Cerebus. I only expected it to be good because I thought it would be a devil may cry-esque third person shooter, but it was just a shitty t/fps with annoying cutscenes and shit extras.

    Maddens for the current gens are crap when it comes to it being just a simulation game which for some reason I liked doing. It worked out well in 2006 for PS2 but they changed the way players progress.

    Assasins Creed was really repetitive and the controls were too simple. I remember how they hyped that the fighting would be hard.

    Far Cry 2 was also kind of dissapointing. It had too much driving and checkpoints on the roads. The invisible walls were also really annoying.

    Fallout 3 dissapointed me too. I just had too high expectations for it. After leaving it alone for three weeks I tried it again and it felt a lot better than before.

    I agree with the Wii and pretty much any game for it. My 2 best friends have one and they're all about it, they don't even play their PS anymore. Just about any time I come over, there's a game in the Wii that I get roped into playing. They're all the same damn thing, or you have to buy some other expensive controller just to play the game, and on half of them, the controls SUCK. Or the game is completely impossible to win.

    Mass Effect would have been really good if they replaced the vehicle missions (aka 90% of the game) with something fun.

    It's not my fault that I've played FarCry 2 for just a little over 11 minutes now and I think it might just be game of the decade.

    Also, The Club is one of the greatest games ever created. I played the fifteen minute demo that only had the jail level and one character, but I can tell that it is a mastership of game creation. It might also win game of the decade.
