Guitar Hero: Metallica
After World Tour, I should have known better than to get this, but unfortunately, I did..... sure, some of the songs are fun, but this game is painfully ugly, the online support is god-awful (it doesn't even work anymore), the singing is fucking BROKEN, and overall, the setlist is sub-par. Just a huge freaking disappointment.

I keep feeling like I should love this game, metal up your ass 'n' all that, but I've never felt compelled to return to it after a few hours play on release day.Sigel said:Brutal Legend. I was so excited to play that game and took time off of work to play it. I was not expecting a real time strategy game and the driving ingame sucked.The whole thing made me very sad.

Agreed except I also hate the story and don't even get me started with the characters.Batsamaritan said:
And so many many many more like Resident Evil(1-5 and some sin-offs haven't liked any and it still perplexes me how so many people can love that much a series I found so awful), Dead Space (which is officially my MOST HATED game of all time), Fable, Star Wars the force unleashed, etc.
I don't think it's that the storyline was particularly complex, it's that it revolved around vague, ethereal concepts that I had trouble relating to the game's established universe. Hearts as a kind of "soul" was an easy enough concept to grasp, but when darkness, light, realms that are referenced but never actually seen, Nobodies and Heartless that pretend to be human get involved, the whole thing gets needlessly messy.RanD00M said:
Take the idea of Kingdom Hearts as a place, for example. I've played the first and second games countless times, and I still don't quite get what it's supposed to be. The first game has me believe it's the door to all worlds, and possibly a source of great darkness, hence Ansem/Xehanort's Heartless's interest in it. Sora points out that Kingdom Hearts is "light", but if that's the case, why do we see that it's filled with Heartless, and in need of being sealed shut "for good"?
It's stuff like that, see? I don't think KHII was a bad game, I just think I would have enjoyed it more if they were talking in terms that weren't so meta-physical. The first game was much lighter in that respect. There's still a lot of talk about light, darkness and hearts, but it usually manifested in ways that were tangible, and had noticeable effects on the game's world.
The most recent Prince of Persia. Nonexistent story, incredibly irritating main characters. A handful of levels, two enemies, three barely distinguishable bosses, all thrown into a mixing bowl a copy-pasted a few times. Instant game!
Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer.

Seriously. After The Sims and Will Wright's breathless hype-a-thon I was expecting SOMETHING original. Instead we get five games we've all played before, dumbed down. Even the creature builder kinda blew. He said you could make tripods. YOU CAN'T MAKE TRIPODS.Kollega said:Well yeah. What can i say? This, oh-so-very-fucking-much. I expected somewhat intresting and coherent life simulator, what i got just didn't live up to my expectations.Internet Kraken said:

Killer 7....it's just not fun to play. The rail-shooting just makes it feel restricted and the whole thing with having to scan the area to see the enemies just get's tiresome after a while. The concept seemed cool, with the character switching and the graphical style, but in the end: FAIL.
