Horribly wrong?

Soul Calibur 3. I wasn't horribly wrong to want it, but the console version was severely disappointing.

Games are fun when the CPU perfect guards every goddamn blow!

I could forgive the game's every other flaw if not for that one, yes.

I heard Mirror's Edge was totally hard.
Horribly wrong.

I had heard so much about Galactic Civilisations II, that when I played it my reaction was "...is that it?" It's not bad, but I think the hype killed it for me.

Well, when Ocarina of Time came out, I had never played a Zelda game before, so I didn't really think it was so great when I heard about it. I distinctly remember my friends were talking about it, and they mentioned the fishing. I, being a big jerk, jumped into the conversation going "Oohhhhh, fishing. Woah, that's awesome. That sounds like fun. Fishing!!!"

They weren't too amused. One of my friends told me that I should just give the game a try then. I was like "Psh, fine. I'm not about to turn down a free game." since he was lending me his copy.

Two weeks later, I returned to him a very thoroughly played game, as a very humbled gamer.

Ironically enough, I had a lot of fun fishing too....

I remember reading reams of rave reviews for Yoshi's Story on the N64. I bought it, and I have never before been so appalled at my use of $100AUS. I was so certain it'd be great, but it turned out to be a kiddy game which took all of three hours to beat, unless you count getting all the melons, which no one in their right mind would waste time collecting.

I bought Civilization Revolution.... i have no idea why, it looked cool.

It sucked. Hard.

I know how you feel. The demo was so good, I couldn't stop myself! And now look, I'm stuck with a stupid game I hate.

Wtf was with the turn limit! After i nuked Ghandi to hell, i couldnt make another nuke, and then eventually the game ended. What the hell, i dont know if there was a way to fix this, but i didnt care, and i threw the game to the far corner of the shelf and havent opened it since.

I thought Spore was going to be really good.

Mistake.

 

[ae86gamer]

I thought Too Human was gonna be good. In my opinion it was a terrible game.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Two worlds, I though it was gonna be good

 

[Nmil-ek]

Bioshock biggest dissapointment I had at the time.

 

[Davey Woo]

I thought CoD WaW was going to be terrible, and refused to play it.
However having played it I see it's actually not bad, even though it's pretty much the same as CoD4 but with different guns/maps.

The same with Rainbow Six Vegas. I just couldn't be bothered with it, but it's actually pretty good. Even if the so called "realistic" difficulty is bullshit-o-matic.

 

[jboking]

GTA4 and Far Cry 2 were the biggest gaming disappointments I've ever had.

 

[Fightbulb]

The Phantom Hourglass. One of the most disappointing, annoying and confusing games I've ever played.

 

[Sir Ollie]

Two worlds, I though it was gonna be good

You and me both my friend, that game truly sucked

 

[zacaron]

I was so unbelievably pumped for Hellgate:London. Fate is truly a cruel mistress.

ya same here It could have been good but there were so many loading screens in so many places

Actually, "Fate" looked childish and easy, but it turned fun fast. [/deliberate misunderstanding]
