Biggest Dissapointment of 2009

[goodman528]

Jagged Alliance 3 (Although it's unfair to count it as 2009, 'cos this is possibly the biggest dissapointment of all time, if it ever get released)

Diablo 3 Because not everyone has the time to play MMORPG.

.. And of course 90% of the games that gets ported from consoles to the PC, with crappy controls that jerks about, cameras that point at a wall while the horsemen of doom are riding towards you, and not to mention not being about to save untill you've reached a checkpoint or safe house. (But then again, I'm quite used to these games, so it's not really a dissapiointment when a port I expected to be rubbish turns out to be actually rubbish)

GTA chinatown wars and borderlands. GTACW will be basically GTA IV on DS and borderlands might turn out like too human, all generic and basic.And boring.

Starcraft 2 because no matter what, I still don't think it will actually come out. lol

Headline: 'Relic and Valve bought out by EA'

Oh...oh...oh God.

I will weep at a such a report.

I will sit down and weep.

I fear that were that to happen, my life would have no meaning....

Whatever Peter Molyneux thinks is another one of his God-like gifts to man.

 

[darrinwright]

That Superman game that Factor 5's supposedly working on. Then again, everyone would see that failure coming, so I'll predict White Knight Chronicles falling flat, despite my hopes and dreams.

 

[Canebrake]

The next NFS game.
Not like anyone expects anything from it anyways,and it'll sell fine...ish
It'll just be rubbish.

FF13 is pushed back to 2010 OR

FF13 is as big a cock up as Last Remnant, failure to utilize the Unreal 3 Engine properly combined with poor play issues makes FF13 a maligned failure,

I'll jump in with the obvious 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, which I think is slated for 2009. I could be wrong, and if so I'll just tuck that away for the 'Big disappointments of 2010' thread.

How can one be disappointed by something that one never believed was going to be good?

 

[Axolotl]

Judging by their more recent project , Bayonetta, it looks very very bad.

Bayonetta hasn't been released yet. How can you possibly judge it?

 

[SimpleReally]

Biggest disappointment of '09 would probably be FF13. The series has been slowly dying since it went 3d with 7 (a good game) and 12 was just piss easy. Bring back the challenge of the SNES games.

Come back when you beat Yiazmat

 

[Woe Is You]

FF13 is as big a cock up as Last Remnant, failure to utilize the Unreal 3 Engine properly combined with poor play issues makes FF13 a maligned failure,

They aren't using the Unreal Engine with FF13, though. They're using an engine of their own.

And The Last Remnant really did have an interesting battle system, but the failure to use tech properly and the sordid storyline made the game a chore. Such wasted potential.

 

[scatmanfan]

Why must Starcraft milk us for our money? And my predict for fail? Hmmmmmm....Prototype. Or maybe...maybe the new No More Heroes. Hyped, yes. Ensured greatness? No. Anyone remember Too Human? 10 FREAKING YEARS!!!

 

[Reqium]

The amazing horror survival game, that Surprise Surprise, makes you trip over ammo and med kits from the start. *glares at Dead Space and RE*

Bayonetta will probably be a dissapointment to some, not to me, I'm expecting very little from that one.

Starcraft 2 will amaze everybody by doing nothing new and we'll all eat it up. Really, all they need to do is put a graphics updated 'classic mode' (same as SC1 except with a resolution going up to the 1600s and redone sprites) in there as a bonus and they're set.

I'll call down my wrath upon Resident Evil 5, that thing is not going to live up to its hype or predecessor. It's a decided amount of 'hey, T&A!' and 'look, 2 player splitscreen!' and all the while you're playing the same game as 3 years ago. (To put a finer point on this one, yes, I've played one of the show-builds.)

But really, guys, the worst thing that could happen to 2009 already happened and its called Timesplitters 4.

Aside:
Wasn't Halo: Recon renamed to Halo: ODST in the weirdest PR move ever last year? I see everybody still calling it Recon here.

I'm guessing if Deus Ex 3 comes out in 09 a lot of people or gonna be disappointed in it as from what I heard the developer of it said Deus Ex 1 was boring and slow. I got a feeling people are not gonna like it and it's gonna puss off a lot of fans. I have yet to play or beat the first one but yea...that has huge potential to bomb.

Aside from that I always reserve my judgment for games until they come out and I see clear cut evidence that it's crap. I'v seen games that have looked like complete garbage before they came out but turned out quite good after release so yea.....DE3 is just a throw out there.
