Biggest Disapointment of 2010

[Ciartan]

Mafia 2 and pretty much all MMOs released this year.

Crackdown 2. While fun, just isn't as good as it should have been. Some of the things I liked from the first game (handguns, boss gang members) are gone, and the hardest enemy in the game to kill doesn't even attack you and only shows up at beacons.

God of War 3

It was still a great game, but that ending... My God, that horribly convoluted piece of crap ending.

My biggest disappointment for 2010? Probably that it was yet another year spent in the wastelands of unemployment.

The rise of Facebook games, and Zynga in general, has crippled my faith in humanity.

 

[Shameless]

Enslaved and FF13

 

[GamemasterAnthony]

Nthing Final Fantasy XIII.

Since WHEN is something linear where all the combat is pretty much done for you considered a ROLE PLAYING GAME?!? I thought RPGs were supposed to have some modicum of choice?

You anticipated a FF game based on the fact you like open ended RPGs with loads of freedom of choice? Small wonder it disappointed.

FF XII was more open ended than this...and it wasn't suckage.

Fable III. Hopefully Molyneux will cancel his plans to continue the fable series forever and ever , and instead just re-release fable for the new consoles and be done with it.

 

[SaintMorose]

Final Fantasy either XIII/XIV both were very disappointing

Fallout: New Vegas. Why don't you just let Bethesda handle the fallout world from now on Obsidian? You created the franchise and that's fine, but Bethesda made that series interesting. Don't muck it up with mediocre, thinned out quests and stupid bugs that can easily be fixed. Also, dont coast off of Bethesda's accomplishments by taking it for your own and not adding anything new. Shame on you...

See, I'm going to say Final Fantasy XIII but, A)It's because there's not much that I can say personally dissapointed me all that much, and B) It's not really that terrible a game. It's an interesting experiment to see if the Final Fantasy formula (Batlles then cutscenes) works when you boil it down to it's most basic elements, and when the game is doing it's best, it shows that it really does, but the problem is a basic game has to fire on all cylinders at all times for it to work (See: First-Person Shooter Design 101), and XIII is painfully slow at times, and reveals the full depth of it's battle system WAY too slowly.

I'd say Conviction. While it by no means was a BAD game, it wasn't really a Splinter cell game. I miss the old styles. I still had fun with it, just not the fun I wanted.

This.

At this point, they should just release level packs for Chaos Theory or update Pandora Tomorrow. Those were stealth games.

For me, most definitely Final Fantasy 13 i don't even have to add anything else to that any sane person would agree, it was hyped up TO THE MAX and then that abomination of a game came out

 

[seraphy]

FF 13 I have always liked final fantasy games some more and some less, but I have liked them.

FF 13 was just pure garbage, I hate combat system with passion and there is nothing interesting in the game at all. No towns, no side quest, nothing that would make that game an final fantasy game.

When you play game for 20 hours and wonder is this game ever going to get interesting there is something wrong with it.

*facepalm*

Right, I'm probably getting trolled here, but fuck it, I have to respond. By creating the franchise, and making two of the most loved cult classic wRPGs yet designed, Obsidian Entertainment does have a greater claim to the whole "making the Fallout series interesting" thing. "Mediocre, thinned-out quests" is exactly how I'd describe Fallout 3 - Junktown in Fallout has more moral flexibility than the entire main quest in Fallout 3, and that's not even getting into the whole Vault City/Redding/NCR/New Reno angle in Fallout 2. By criticising Obsidian for bugs and not Bethesda, it makes you seem like you're afflicted with an awful case of bad memory. Fallout 3 was far from a perfect game in the respect of bugs - in fact, on the PC, it was barely tolerable until a few patches in.

Soz have you played both the games???
The only thing better in NV was the iron sites really put that into fallout 3 and you made perfection in my eyes.
Have you seen NV's story line also? You get shot in the head so you must get revenge on the guy who shot you for you are a courier which means you must be determined and apparently everyone wants to be your friend for an unexplained reason.
In fallout 3 you grow up in a vault with a tight community held by an evil dictator, your father escapes and you must find him, now tell me how the NV story line makes any sense compared to fallout 3.

Flaming over

Took the words right out of my mouth. Agree with every letter and puncuation mark in the post.

....2 x Facepalm

Speaking of storylines, have you played 1&2?
OT: Plants Vs. Zombies 2 Announcement...yeah

Epic Mickey. Definitely not very epic...
