At least Square Enix was giving us Kingdom Hearts games, although they did get a little cheeky with Recoded.
As for Half Life, I dunno, if Meet the Medic taught me anything, is that they do eventually get round to doing things, just on Valve time...

And here's a real broken promise: Dungeon Keeper 3.
There was even a trailer for it in Dungeon Keeper 2.

While I agree with both of you, I have to lead towards Kingdom Hearts 3. SE needs to cash in on KH3 (andmaybeFF7Remakecoughcough) just to get that cash flow going. I don't want to hear about SE being in trouble.

For me, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. One of the nastiest trolling a video game company has done to it's consumers.
Episode 3 isn't really a broken promise, just a very scarred over, dehydrated cocktease of a promise.
... But not broken, ohohoho no.

Congrats guys. You've taken a show that was borderline not worth watching and managed to make it funny. I'll definitely be back for next week's episode.
Extra points in your favor (and there were several this time):
1) the argument was actually interesting. I may not play either Kingdom Hearts or Half-Life 2 (got bored halfway through 1 and I hate not getting through series from the beginning), but I could definitely see real arguments for both sides as to which was the biggest broken promise. (Also, it was Oni 2).
2) NO JONES SODA! Yay, you guys seemed slightly less like shills! I have no problem with the idea of the soda itself, but it simply does not fit in with the concept of the show. How about milk or juice next time? It's a little harder to drink but it will look awesomely gross whenever either of the guys coughs it up.
3) Funny! The jokes actually worked this time. And yes, you have magically made Italian and Japanese the same accent. Weirdest plausibly racist combination I have ever seen.
Keep it up and I'll keep watchin'.

I think Kingdom Hearts would be more forgivable if they didnt keep releasing all these games on different platforms. It feels like when it comes out, I'm not even going to know what the story means because I can't own all the different handhelds
Was placing FFX-2 and Firefly in the background deliberate? Because they both represent broken promises in many ways
(Even if Firefly isn't a game)
I loved that game, but then I've never taken offence to emotional protagonists with long hair (ie every Japanese protagonist ever, and most of the antagonists)Negatempest said:

I'm with ya, Chris. But yes, we, the public, are all the losers here.
And hey, this show is my #1 go-to on Thursdays now. Keep being fun, fellas.

What about beyond good and evil 2? They made a teaser a few years ago but since then there's been no news.
I couldn't agree more with both games.
Since I've played Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 with a friend, I've been waiting for any decent information for that but nothing so far.
As for Half-Life 2 Episode 3, well Half-Life 2 is in my opinion the best game ever made and since that damn cliffhanger ending in ep2 I've been waiting for the next one, it's the thing I'm most looking forward to, it's the one thing I really want at the moment. I know it will be released some day, Valve won't just abandon the Half-Life series and its fans and I know that they don't talk about it for a reason(probably because it's Half-Life 3 by now and not episode 3) but the wait is killing me.
