Biggest gaming disappointments?

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts gave me a pessimistic view on all future games.

I'm trying to remember the last time I actually got hyped for a game. I can't be disappointed if I'm realistic about my expectations.

Thrasher · November 04, 2015, 11:27:17 PM

Halo Reach
Borderlands: TPS
GTA 4

Remember that trailer they showed a long time ago? It was foreshadowing our disappointment.. •-•

The signs were there this whole time.

I'm a bit disappointed with the RB4 launch songs

Fable 3 (where was the promised all seeing eye map feature?!)

And the myraid of games I rented at blockbuster as a kid that were often utter poop.

Resident Evil 5 was a big disappointment for me. Only game I have ever taken back to the store.

Really? I mean, it wasn't scary but it was fun.

Resident Evil 6 was just fuck awful, both in controls and in story. The camera kept constantly getting jerked away from you too for some in game set piece moment and I hated it.

I've conditioned myself never to be disappointed--things are usually exactly how I expect them to be, or a little bit better.

This.

I grew up with the games and was really looking forward to...more. The controls were sub-par and the story just didn't do it for me. I never played any of the games after 5.

5 is alright
6 is a good game, just a terrible RE

Any game I overhype tends to be disappointing at least a little (Skyrim or TP, though neither are bad).

🍁 Aria 🔮 · November 06, 2015, 10:32:31 AM

Mass Effect 3
White Knight Chronicles
Destiny
Metal Gear Solid V
MAG
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn
Dark Souls II
Bloodbourne

True Turquoise · November 06, 2015, 10:57:51 AM

Same, it's also why I enjoy almost every game.

Sprungli · November 06, 2015, 12:57:10 PM

Sniper Elite 3

V2 remain one of my favourite Xbox 360 and whilst 3 is solid, in comparison to what it could have been and should have been it was just underwhelming and short.

Doctor Doom · November 06, 2015, 05:06:18 PM

BioShock Infinite.

It isn't bad by any means, in fact I really enjoyed it. It just isn't the amazing gift from God I'd been told it is. Probably didn't help that the guy I borrowed it from wouldn't shut up about how awesome it is immediately before I started playing.

Bright Wind Eternal Stars · November 09, 2015, 01:39:18 AM

Halo 5's story. Destiny until I realized what it was and came to accept it.

A Cheese Potato · November 09, 2015, 02:45:20 AM

I stopped hyping up games after Reach hah

The most recent TF2 update...

Dietrich Six · November 10, 2015, 01:01:19 PM

The phantom pain hurt a lot, although I didn't really expect much from it.
Final fantasy XIII probably takes the cake for me.

Off the top of my head:

Crackdown 2 (very repetitive, was bored to tears)
Mercenaries 2 (to add insult to injury, my 360 RRoD'd while giving the demo a second chance)
Modern Warfare 3 (where do I even begin?)
Battlefields 3 & 4 (never quite reached the heights of BC2)
MAG (I really, really wanted to like this game but never could)

And as others have mentioned, Red Faction: Armageddon and Frontlines: Fuel of War

No battlefield game ever will.

Super Irish · November 10, 2015, 04:32:29 PM

Destroy All Humans 3: Path of the Furon. I was super fucking hyped for that game.

...was the shittest most bug infested game I've ever played and somehow had worse graphics than its predecessors which were on older gen. consoles. I forced myself to finish it because I paid for it, then sold it as soon as possible. To put that in perspective, I've only ever sold... 3? games I've bought.

Also, Halo 4 was a tad disappointing, but not as much. It was mostly that I'd gotten the Limited Edition and it just wasn't worth it, rather would've just had the normal version.
