Duke Nukem Forever, with all that hype, and all that effort, how did they fuck it up!?
*sigh*
Out of context here but...1994 posts, my birth year, LETS PARTY LIKE 1994!!!
EDIT: WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, DNF is NOT THE WORST GAME THIS YEAR, its *Shudders* Dungeon Siege 3, Im sorry but how did they make a copy of Diablo 3, and its by a damn good company, I played it with my best friend and we hated it so much I retuned it that same day, I didnt want to waste that much money on that horrible game, it was almost as bad as Two Worlds...ugh, I need to wash my mouth now.

Marvel Vs Capcom 3, no spectator mode no story mode and then they announce Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 is coming out in November....for $20 less then the original game...One Huge dissapointment
I'd get into a debate over Dragon Age 2 being a decent game, but there's not much point when you're fighting dumb anger and hatred. Not sure why so many people hate a game because it wasn't it's predecessor.Guillermo Gonzalez said:

I don't necessarily agree with Metacritic, but it's certainly not what I consider a 5 or 6.
Dragon Age 2:
Some things I liked, such as the friendship/rivalry meters and Varric (he was pretty much the only reason I finished the game).
The disappointments for me were the rectcons for the darkspawn, which went from from freaky slasher smile inhabitants of uncanny valley, to generic looking mooks who waddle into combat looking just like my brother running with a full diaper.
The single reused cave system, holding pattern plot, spawning in re-enforcements from nowhere, I could go on...

I'm saying Brink too.They tried to do a futuristic Left for Dead, but without the fun & tension of the two L4D Games.
Ghostbusters Sanctum of Slime & L.A. Noire were disappointing too.

Im going to jump on the DA2 disappointment wagon. I was so pumped for that game, I watched the trailers, read the news, the whole deal. I even downloaded the demo just so I could get a look at it before release. Thank god I did, that 20 minutes of gameplay singlehandedly convinced me not to buy that game. The look and feel of that demo was so bad that despite already owning origins, I went back and bought the ulimate edition just so that I could play the expansion and the dlc. So yeah, pretty disappointed on that one.

Probably LA Noire, it was a good concept, but it just didn't work in the way it was supposed to.
Games that disappointed me this year:
* Alice: Madness Returns - Lots of cool stuff in that game. Just a lot of problems, and a lot of potential gone to waste. Could have been so much better.
* From Dust - It was ok. Just waaayy to short, and to much like a tech demo. Ok, they've got the base stuff down. Now time to turn it into an epic Populous tribe vs. tribe god war thing. Also Ubisofts handling of the situation didn't help none on PC.
* Bodycount - Yeah, you could pretty much tell it was going to be god awful. But as the "spiritual successor" of Black I still had hope. That was crushed within the first level of the game. Do not, under any circumstances, ever buy or play this game. Ever.
* LA Noire - Much as I hate to say it, this game didn't offer much beyond the awesome face capture. I was over it by Vice, and had to force myself to play any further. It just lost the plot near the end and got so boring.
Games I was planning to play but changed my mind due to complaints:
Dragon Age 2, Brink and Call of Juarez 3 (i loved the previous ones). I did play Duke Nukem, but i knew that was going to be a steaming pile of shit, so i don't count that as a disappointment. Crysis 2 was also pretty meh but i wasn't expecting anything from it.
Even though those games dissappointed me, there's been a lot that didn't. Games like Bastion, Driver: San Fransico, Witcher 2, Terraria, Portal 2, Fear 3, and a few others i've forgotten but enjoyed at the time have made it a fairly decent year for me.

Dragon Age 2 beyond the shadow of a doubt. The only "awesome buttons" I want are the menu buttons from BG2 that made a weird clunk sound when you clicked them that I suppose was meant to sound like wood but always made me think of a pig snorting. Great characters, lousy story, lousy combat. Does anyone seriously have a problem with turn based combat hidden behind animations?
While I have never played Trinity Universe and I probably never will considering the most I've ever known about Disgaea comes from partly reading a friend's manga, I am thankful that someone actually said this. It had such great potential and Idea Factory just botched it for fanservice like most anime. Why does no one ever ask me to write these things?Sylveria said:
Hunted, The Demon's Forge, Brink, Two Worlds 2, Dynasty Warriors 7. Just to name a few. Those were all huge let downs. DA2, should have been better than what it was. I never bothered with Duke Nukem, as that was an almost gaurenteed to be terrible.
