The biggest let-down you've ever had about a new title

Eh...the first game was such a big disappointment that I didn't even bother with the second game. It had good ideas, but in the end it was a clunkier Populous.SomeBritishDude said:
But yes, GTAIV definitely. I was suckered by the hype. All I really got was GTA3 HD. Even Halo 3 wasn't as big a disappointment (got it cheap, actually liked the game and Bungie is doing a good job updating it).
Oblivion, since I am claustrophobic and I was really fucked over by the godamn stupid "generic dungeon with baddies" syndrome. I mean seriously - you talk to someone in the street and they want you to help an old lady over the road, and it turns out she miraculously wants to cross a road 1000 feet under the earth, surrounded by zombies!
Mater of Orion 3 - The first and second games were simple and fun, moo3 was a mess, almost every part of the game was broken or unfinished. The single thing it did better than the previous two titles was the ground combat.
Black & White 2 - The original was a massive let-down, but in my mind the entertaining creature AI, good looks, and nice ambient track saved it from being a total failure. B&W2 pretty well removed the creature from the game, was pathetically short and easy, as well as being repetitive and mind-numbingly dull. Graphical glitches caused severe issues on many NVidia 6 series cards (probably the most common graphics card at the time).
Hellgate London - Was just an awful game. It felt like an grind-fest MMORPG, except I was the only guy playing. LAN play did nothing to resolve the issue.
Spore - Was just way too simple. The programmer in me is very impressed with how the game works, the way it works seamlessly online, but the gamer in me cries. I would have been far more entertained with a massively fleshed-out cell stage game. The creature stage was fun for a bit, but tribe, city, and space were all just a drag after the initial newness wore off.

I disagree.Galaxialconda said:
Anyway, on track to the thread, my biggest let down was Halo 3. Normally I don't like the hype, but I enjoyed Halo 1 and 2 so much, plus it was coming out on my Birthday! How was I supposed to resist that? Sigh.
Assassins Creed, game looked like it had so much going for it and then when you actually played it, it was all repetition with the game being fun during the killing if you repeated the process to get there enough times.
to add ones that havent been listed:
Boiling Point: Road to Hell. much promise, such a buggy mess. A prime example of why publishers rushing to release a game before another can ruin everything...Infact put down every game published by Atari in the last 5-6years & say dissapointing coz of rushed development to beat a nonexistant rival to realease.
