Biggest game-related disappointment of the year?

[Bluntknife]

I'd have to say spore was the biggest dissapointment for me, the game wasn't as intuative as I was hoping
there wasn't any flow to the game at all.
What you did in the creature stage had no effect on how you did in the tribal stage.
But other than that this year has proberly been one of the best in gaming.
Massive list of amazing titles that I dont have nearly enough time to play them.

gosh, so many disappointments...
strange that my other thread, "the best suprises of the year" has so little replies compared to this one lol
a rather pesimistic year then i presume
or its just gamers being gamers lol

i don't think it's so much "pessimism" as it is there were very few genuine surprises this year. Fallout kicks ass, yes, but we've known it was coming for four years now. Starcraft and Diablo were a huge deal when they were announced, but apparently Blizzard's trying to dick the fanbase on price, which tempers that. after Nintendo's Falcon-Punch-to-the-fanboy-nuts E3 showing, Too Human being utter garbage(and it's resulting flop endangering the hope of Eternal Darkness 2) Spore being crap and the LBP debacle, there's been more than plenty to be disappointed about.

I was really dissapointed with Too Human. Nintendo's E3 outing didn't make me too happy either.

THERE DISSOLVING ENSEMBLE STUDIOS! I SWEAR TO GOD SOMEONE AT MICROSOFT IS GOING TO DIE

 

[Xesumie]

I didnt like Spore.
It was just crap and was not what anyone wanted.

Experiencing my first Red Ring of Death.

Still no announcement of Half Life 2 Episode 3. I know it's only been a year, but I NEED it.

this is true acutaly, still no word on it...
is it comming to the consoles as well as PC again?

Well I just discovered from reading this thread that ensemble studios is on the way out
That means no more awesome Age of... games and the servers for AoM will be shut down
Thats the game I play most online and now they're taking it away from me!

 

[hypothetical fact]

Buying Castle Crashers and finding that online didn't work, which was the whole selling point for the bloody game!

 

[Syphonz]

hmmm...possibly buying Heavenly sword, playing it, 3 hrs later i beat it ..

I don't understand why everyone's sooooo bothered by the LBP delay. It was only two weeks. It's still coming out.

How can that be more disappointing than:
FreeRadical releasing HAZE. eurgh.
or a console (probably a 360) dying on you.

It's all relative I guess.

Actually although they've shut down most of the people who work there have set up another cmpany so that they can produce other games.
