In a game, have you ever anticipated a weapon or item for a long time only to get it and find that it sucks hairy testicle?

A prime example for me was the M14 in BC2 (though the G3 more than makes up for the M14's lacking ability).

So.. Stories plox!

Imo, I really missed the instant hit of the Sniper Rifle when I unlocked the Huntsman, it took away a large part of the Sniper's appeal to me.

Final Fantasy XIII. I'm a FF fanboy, I am. I starved myself for a week to be able to afford this game, and when I saw what it was... I died a little inside.

Thirteen is just an unlucky number, I guess

Fable 2.

I have never been more disappointed in a game than that. The fact that I loved the first one so much is probably one of the reasons why I thought the sequel was such a downer.

I let myself get over-hyped, bought it on launch day, and beat it in a good 4 hours.

That, was sad.

Most of the guns in MW2. (with a few exceptions)

Mainly because they all equally can kill a person in 2-3 hits.

In Team Fortress 2 I managed to scrape enough scrap metal together in order craft a random hat and I ended up with a Tough Guy's Toque. Now it's a nice enough hat but it seems to be extremely common...which makes me sad. :(

Next time I may have to save up a little longer and craft a hat I want...which may take awhile seeing as I'm only half way there and I last crafted a hat at least six months ago!

Ah Hope, the first step on the road to dissapointment.

Dead Space, I thought that seeing as all you start with is some sort of laser welding tool that the assault rifle you can get your hands on later in the game would be the "unstoppable juggernaut of death" TM. one unusually quick firefight and a reload later I was rather annoyed and just went back to the toolkit.

Just MW2. Mainly the snipers though. I was hoping it would be a bit more realistic but then again I should have never have borded that hype train. sigh.

Hm... really? Took me about 30 hours to beat the thing.

OT: FEAR2. You took the scares that were great in the first game, and made them god damn PUSH TO NOT DIE quick time events for the second. Never before have I felt such a great sadness.

Oddly enough, the Spartan Laser. It's great in multiplayer, but absolutely useless in the campaign (doesn't do anything the altogether more common Plasma Cannon and Rocket Launchers don't do, and only available for a select few points in the game...).

Yes. I'm not sure how anyone could think QTE develop tension. Once you know you can thwart evil with the press of a button the scares dissipate.

Alien vs Predator - the new one. Had it on pre-order for three months, got it on day of release, four days later lent it to a mate, not bothered asking for it back.

The Harbinger a.k.a The Sword in the Stone in Fable.The only way to get it is by maxing out your strength stats but by the time you do that you have several weapons more powerful than it already

In recent memory: Final Fantasy 13 and the collector's set for Batman - Arkham Asylum (the game was great, but the 'extras' were a complete rip-off).

Final Fantasy XIII. I was so let down.

Fortunately I hadn't played Batman Arkham Asylum yet at that point, and I picked it up as well. Things got better after I switched to AA.

too-human was a game I was looking forward to, But it had rubbish reviews so I rented it. It was the (perhaps) the most awful game I ever played.
