Most disappointing game you have ever reserved/preordered

Crackdown 2 D:

 

[Ranorak]

Spore.
The idea was great, the mere possibilities were endless.
The concept was tugging my heart strings like Jimmy Hendrix.

The execution was shit.

 

[putowtin]

Fable III
&
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

and to make matters worse they both came out on the same day,
and to make it even worse I preordered the Ltd Ed's of both!

Uh... Halo 3 ODST? But even that wasn't bad, I beat it about four times (in the amount of time that it should take to beat one game, but I was having enough fun to beat it a bunch of times.)

I don't preorder many games. I preordered ODST and Reach, and I believe those are the only two games I have ever preordered.

Fallout: New Vegas. I could have cried at least i didn't go for the collector's edition like i planned

For what system? I recently picked up the 360 version and those infamous bugs are nowhere to be found for me. Maybe you should try updating it if you still have it? Or did you just not like the game?

I got it on PS3. The game is horrifically bad and doesn't live up to ANY of its previous titles.
Story is terrible, it gliched like hell, the systems always hit dead ends or don't contribute to the game at all. I was considering getting the collectors like i did Fallout 3 and i'm so glad i didn't. was so disappointed.


I got it on release day and ended up trading it in a week later :/

star wars force unleashed 2, WOW that game made the world a worse place.

 

[EHKOS]

I only preordered one game, and I didn't pick it up because all I wanted was the secret agent Clank promo figure. take that Gamestop!

 

[viking97]

never reserved a game

 

[teutonicman]

I didn't reserve it but I bought it on it's release, The Force Unleashed.....

I've raged about this game before and I really, REALLY don't want to remember all the annoyances it caused me. The short of it is that I think it is a terrible game.

 

[Giantpanda602]

Probably Medal of Honor. I actually enjoyed it, but it definitely had flaws and the multiplayer was disappointing.

 

[diggy140892]

Dragon age 2... I once thought Bioware wasn't capable of failure (that sonic game being somewhat arguable, but ok fo the youngsters) then I bought this fancy box of disappointment... how will I ever be able to trust again?

So because Bioware made 1 disappointing game you can never trust them again. I'm hoping you were being sarcastic there.

My most disappointing game I reserved has to be Modern Warfare 2. Man that game sucked.

 

[Ambient2100]

Mass Effect 1 ... I'm not kidding

 

[ThePirateMan]

Spore, Dragon Age 2, Gothic 4, Black Ops.

I can't pick a single one but just.. Fucking hell. So much disappointment.

Edit: Oh and an (dis)honourable mention.

Mass Effect 1 ... I'm not kidding

 

[commiedic]

FFXIV and Homefront are definitely my two most disappointing. Thanks to these games I will never pre-order another game. Especially in todays game market. It seems all too common that games are being released half ass and you have to wait 6+ months for patches to bring them up to par.

 

[Ozzythecat]

Fable 2... Fable Lost Chapters was so good and I thought "Hey Lionhead hasn't let me down yet!" I was young and stupid... now I'm older still stupid and scarred for life by the betrayal...

Another horrible reservation was Magna Carta 1... My god why was I such a stupid child...

To go against the general flow I pre-ordered FFXII and quite enjoyed it. Thankfully I avoided that apparent monstrosity that is DA2.

Side note: Does buying Minecraft in Beta count as reserving?(actually wondering)I feel like it's just semantics.

 

[geezah91]

The Black Edition of Assassin's Creed 2. It's not that the gam ewas disappointing, it's more the fact that it wasn't worth the NINETY F%$KING EURO I paid for an ezio figurine and 3 extra puzzles. I haven't pre-ordered a game since

 

[Edavies696]

bullet storm...that game was horrible *shudder*

 

[gh0ti]

Red Alert 3. I wasn't expecting it to be particularly good, which tells you just how bad I think it is to have actually disappointed me.

 

[Lt. Vinciti]

Two Worlds (yes the original)

There I was but a mere teen.....Oblivion had seen almost all of its DLC added and I waited for something like it...

TWO WORLDS

It will be like Oblivion many said!
It is a sandbox rpg deal!
It will have Multiplayer!

So I a bright eyed "child" preordered it

Delay

Release

OH MY SWEET GODS WHY DOES THIS GAME HURT SO MUCH

[Forlorn Guardian]

Suikoden IV.

I loved the other games in the series, so I figured it would be at least as good as them if not better.

I could not have been more wrong...

 

[Thumper17]

Prototype.

Expected a little bit more then what I got.
