Biggest game-related disappointment of the year?

[Simalacrum]

please note that this doesn't have to be a game that flopped, it can be some kind of event, (like E3), or anything which was a disappointment so long as its to do with games

my biggest disappointment has to be Spore... it had so much potential and isn't actually a bad game, its just that it was killed by its own hype i think

Yeah E3 was crap. Microsoft's was okay, but Nintendo's was painfully bad.

 

[[Gavo]]

I agree, E3.
Nintendo's place in my heart was ripped out and replaced with Valve.
The Wii Music demo seriously made me tear up because of its patheticness.

Well for me it was star wars: the force unleashed it was the most disappointed game of all this year for me. Ok at first it was ok but 5 min while playing and the bug land begin. How in hell they couldn't fixed most of the bugs, ow and better that I don't go down the road because of the difficult level let say that for my taste even on the hardest it was like playing super mario. And the whole thing about dmm fuzz it is really bad engine ok in tech demo it was great but in-game is was worth like a pile of sh*t.

Ok enough hate for star wars:tfu (for now).

The Bungie announcement at E3 being canceled, but it's been announced now so it's all good.

Finding out that they are going to disband Ensemble Studio.

Finding out CoD: WaW is going to be back in WW2.

I will think of more later.

I have a Nintendo-shaped tear in my sanity now.

My disapointment: Argos was selling fable 2 on the 15th as they got the stock early. I waited till the 16th to go get it by then they had stopped after realising their mistake

 

[Simalacrum]

wow, quite a lot of disappointment at Ninetendo lol, though to be honest, im not really suprised... did they have ANY decent games released this year impart from De Blob, which is only "kinda good" at best?

 

[Eldritch Warlord]

Finding out that they are going to disband Ensemble Studio.

Yeah, also confusing. Why would they disband the best and most profitable internal studio they own?

E3 was a huge let down.
So was(at least for me) KOTOR 3 becoming an MMO and star wars the force unleashed..being what it is.

That Little Big Planet was delayed once again on the eve of launch, and not because the network servers weren't ready, or there was some freaky error somewhere, but because someone thought that a fleeting quotation from the Qu'ran in one of the music tracks might offend every one in a hundred-thousand Muslims. I don't blame the company, but rather society as a whole for being so insanely over-twitchy about "racism", or "pickyness", as I call it. This reminds me of the Resi 5 trailer all over again. Where do these easily-offended people live? They must all hide in a bunker somewhere, constantly scanning the media for things to get annoyed about and delay people's fun for weeks. I was all ready to rent LBP and everything...*fume*.

 

[implodingMan]

The closing of Ensemble Studios. I've been playing AOE3 a lot lately. Sad stuff.

 

[gibboss28]

Spore.

 

[pieeater911]

Too Human being a big bowl of shit.

Force Unleashed being so terribly buggy.

Nintendo and its laughably bad E3 showcase.

KOTOR 3 being an MMO...that one cut deep.

Fallout 3 being pushed back until October 28 (Nine more days, woohoo!).

The disappointing lack of good games for my Wii (Replaying Twilight Princess for the fifth time right now).

The new 360 Fall update. I want my 360s dashboard to look like a 360s dashboard, not a damn Wii that has more clothing options for its Miis!

E3 was boring as all hell. It seemed that only Microsoft where the only ones trying to put up a decent show. It had nothing interesting and primarily consisted of each company boasting their painfully underwhelming ideas and products. I was watching it during work and i was even MORE bored while watching it than waiting for my boss to lead me to my next job.

 

[xitel]

I never expected anything great out of E3, what with all the changes they've been making. But I would say my biggest dissapointment was Spore. I was expecting an expansive game with huge customization, not a gathering of sub-par versions of popular games.

 

[Laughing Man]

my biggest disappointment has to be Spore... it had so much potential and isn't actually a bad game, its just that it was killed by its own hype i think

Yup Spore as well here but I'll go a little further by saying that it IS a bad game.

 

[axia777]

I will tell you my opinion when the year is up.....

 

[OuroborosChoked]

As a PS3 owner, I can't say I'm all that disappointed this year.

I wish Home was out... but that's about it.
