Couldn't agree more. Not only the memory leak though, the new races were horrible in comparison to the others. Dark Eldar were so terrible, and the AI was just as bad. Aaaaand the "spells" that the new races could cast after gaining souls or faith was such a bad idea.Strategia said:
And yeah i also think Spore blew chunks. Massive chunks.
Halo 3, not necessarily because it disappointed me but mostly because of all the hype that surrounded it.
Halo. God i hate that game and the two games to follow to. people was all hype about them then i play it i almost threw up it was that bad.
Hellgate London.
OH the potential that game had! I had merry visions of watching my guardian friends run out in front to start squashing masses of bad things supported by cabalists and sniper fire from the roof tops.
But the game just kind of rolled over and died. Not with a bang but a whimper.
The even larger disappointment is that no one is going to try to make this kind of mmo again. Or atleast has not tried yet.

I disagree completely, but it appears that I'm in the minority. Especially since Brawl has, so far, lived up to the hype for me.TheNoog said:
Letdowns for me? Hmm... Probably Twilight Princess. Not to say it's not an awesome game, but it could have been more. Pathetically easy, too.
Fallout 3. I'm trudging through it to see if it gets better but so far my unreasonable expectations beg to differ.
Though Black & White 2 has been mentioned, I'm going to toss Black & White 1 into the ring. The first hour was amazing. Meeting your creature, moving him around. Awesome. And then, the game itself starts. Talk about a nosedive. All of the glowing reviews must have come from people who only played that first bit.
I think Doom 3 was a big let down. I loved Doom 1 and Doom 2 was pretty good. All the press I read about Doom 3 kept saying it would be better than Doom 1 with awesome graphics to boot. When I played it, I was less than impressed. I still like Doom 1 better than Doom 3, even with its old-school sprites instead of the fancy 3-D monsters.
Brawl is easily the worst out of all the games on this thread, not one of them comes even close. I wouldn't call it a let me down, it is more of a demonic entity. They fucked everything in it, they even added new things in it and still fucked it up. I find it incredible how they could not see the adventure mode as a terrible idea, it's probably why we were waiting for 2 years for it to be released!Graustein said:
I will never be the same because of this game!
I love the implication here, that if a game doesn't please ME ME ME it's a fuck up. It's one I find all too often.Nazulu said:
Don't use my posts as a flimsy excuse to flame one of my favourite games. You don't like the changes they made, good for you, go back to Melee.
spore all hands down. ive reached the age now where i dont actualy get alot of 'thrill' out of many new games. ive played so long and so many that most of them are just rehashing of older games ive allready played but spore looked like it was gunna break the mold and start something new. i followed the game for years and seriously looked forward to it since ive enjoyed almost every game maxis ever made.
then its finaly out, i hit amazon to buy it and see the reviews of 1 star. what the hell i think and start reading the reviews, didnt take long to see that it had securom having had past experiance with it i wasted no time NOT ordering the game.
it really ticked me off too. its hard enough finding good/fun games now days, now it seems that when i finaly CAN find a game that catches my eye its ruined before i can even try it by shit like the DRM.
as for games ive played that were a let down, id say MOO 3. ive played worse crap over the years. i can certianly list alot of games that were over-hyped the thing that made MOO 3 the worst for me is that you could see what a great game it COULD have been. things ALMOST work right, the ideas and concepts are there to see but how it was actualy built ...... sad , just sad.
its like finaly landing adate with a really Hot chick only to find out at show time shes just a badly made japanese robot.
