Fable 3. They "stream-lined" the interface by hacking off extra fun features (many clothes, emotes, ect.), leaving the game feeling shallow. The playable menus were uninteresting and didn't add anything. More often then not, they were almost annoying, tagging on extra time to the simple task of saving my game or selecting a new weapon. I felt like a three-year-old; the game just never stops holding your hand.
The story is dull and cliche, I didn't latch on to or care about the fate of my companions (which I absolutely expect RPGs to make me do) or those I had lent my "promises" too throughout the story. This time around, the dog feels tacked-on. You never notice him and he never adds a single thing to the game (besides jabbering non-stop when near treasure or dig sites).
Oh, and I glitched through the ground two missions from the end of the game and had to restart, but by that point, I didn't even care anymore. It had stopped being fun.

Sorry, I'm going to have to say Alpha Protocol.zombiejoe said:
I remember seeing it in a Game Informer premiere and thinking, "That looks pretty cool. Can't wait to get that."
Then it got delayed... several times. Still had some hope.
Then the actual game came out and shattered my distant hopes for a decent game.
I've never been so disapointed about a game before until Final Fantasy XIII. I'm not the first to say this and probably not the last in this thread, but it was just not as good as we expected. Good thing Final Fantasy XIV came out to soften the blo....oh wait...
I quite enjoyed finding the random boobies actually, distracted me from the shitty gameplay.Vie said:
I missed all the customisation from Fable 2 as well. The menus were pure sucky too, there's nothing wrong with a menu interface as long as it's easy to navigate and makes sense (Resi 4 being a great example). Running to and fro in those bloody rooms just made me not want to ever equip anything.Clueless Hero said:
The book also includes the mutants, though, so the game would have been departing from the original source more than it already has had they taken out the mutants. Though I think they could have made them feral humans instead and they'd have had largely the same effect.Casimir_Effect said:
Though the game itself wasn't a letdown in my opinion, I think Mafia II could have done a lot more than it did.
FFXIII. It wasn't so much a bad game for me, it was just way too linear, and had almost no challenge.
Wouldn't want to play it again, that's for sure.

I quite enjoyed it, but I never played any of the others. I'm presuming the reason people weren't into it was that it didn't live up to the earlier games?binvjoh said:
Bioshock 2. Single player just wasn't captivating, and the multiplayer had extremely limited replay value.
Yep. This. Lag and stuttering killed this game. Fucking console ports all over the place. Do any developers make games exclusively for PC anymore? Apart from indie games like minecraft etc, most games are just being ported especially from the Xbox360 on to the PC and PS3.Pirate Kitty said:
dude i have no idea what your smokeing lol i mean how can you cay halo reach multipleyer is worst then halo 3? i mean of all the stuff to rant about you choose that? lol crazy boychemicalreaper said:
Console version aren't much better tbh. Laggiest 360 game I've ever played, and the PS3 version is completely unplayable, people can't even get into games.Nexoram said:
Yeah I know. But I really want a nice, semi-scripted, modern-setting, corridor shooter which is set in a unique environment and doesn't involve some kind of dick-sucking alien/monster. I love Far Cry 2 but wish there was a linear contempory to it.theSovietConnection said:
The CoD games don't come anywhere near due to them being scripted up the asshole. You're led through the entire level and have no chance of doing aything different. Crysis has one absolutely glorious level where it dumps you at the edge of a massive square map and tells you to take out something on an island and something on a bridge. Then it just leaves you to do it as you want. Sneak about on foot, steal a jeep, hijack a boat, carve a path of destruction towards the objective - it's entirely your choice. Far Cry 2 was the same for me just the battles felt a bit less cinematic due to their entirely unscripted nature.
But Crysis had so much potential, before fucking itself up the ass with that alien mission and everything after.
