Dragon Ball Z:Burst Limit, it felt like I was playing DBZ:Budokai all over again with some different scenes
Excuse me asshole but you did make a thread that has the title "The biggest let-down you've ever had about a new title". I answered saying everything is terrible and it clearly was, I find it sad that you say that is one of your favourite games because you obviously don't like good gameplay!Graustein said:
Really? I thought I was the only one. Honestly, I haven't met a single person who agrees with me when I say HL2 was overrated.DirkGently said:
Other than that, DoW: Soulstorm and Spore were massive dissapointments.
Calling me an asshole because I disagree with you. Good start.Nazulu said:
Mistaking me for the thread maker. Great job.
Calling Brawl "clearly terrible" without even saying what's wrong with it beyond a vague reference to the adventure mode being a terrible idea. Wonderful.
Belittling my opinion because yours is obviously so much more valid. If you don't like a game anybody who does like it is stupid, an asshole and worthy of pity and contempt. Because the world revolves around you.
News flash. Your opinion is not objective fact. Pretending otherwise makes you look like a narrow-minded, ignorant bigot.
Here's a couple that haven't been mentioned yet;
Viking. I saw screens of that in a GameInformer and thought, "brilliant!" It looked amazing, the idea sounded fun, and then I played it. Yuck. I did enjoy it a little more when I added in my own sound track that was all viking metal from The Sword.
Also, Mass Effect. I thought this game was going to be an amazing open world (Oblivion style, no loading screens) with tons of places to explore. Instead I get a few uninhabited worlds where I have to drive my clunky vehicle across miles of barren wastelands in search for..... nothing. Not saying I hated the game, I actually quite enjoyed it (great ending) but the whole time I played I felt quite distant from it. There was never a huge breakthrough moment for me in either story or gameplay.

Alone in the Dark...I had a really naive hope with it, and it certainly has it's moments (The TV-Serial Style and Pacing is something i really like to see in other games).
But the Controls, the need to burn your enemies (sounds good in theory, is horrible in execution) and the unneeded open endedness that does not really add anything to the game makes this one a great disappointment.
Well, at least it has the best dialogue in any game ever:
"Give me the stone!"
"I don't have your stone, and fuck you anyway!"

Infinite Undiscovery, Condemned 2, and Alone in The Dark top this year out.
Vampire Rain holds a special space in my heart for extreme letdown...

No I called you an asshole because I thought you made the thread, but hey that was my mistake. Also I didn't need to post everything wrong with it because I know it is not going to change your opinion. I sum it as gameplay because randomly tripping over is sooo much fun! Theres a million other things but I can't be stuffed wasting it on you.Graustein said:
News Flash, I don't care what you think, I used your comment because I completely disagree with your reply. Also it is because assholes like you that games are getting worse!
Lets see here. The largest dissapointment in my gaming lifetime would have to be Half Life 2. I was told it was an amazingly awsome game by just about everyone and their dog, but when i played it i couldnt help but think ehh. It wasnt bad, but it wasnt good either. I had barely any fun with it, and it was way too easy. Another let down of mie was Ninja Gaiden 2. It hurt me when i played this game, hurt me so very much. i was looking forward to it because the first x-box version is my favorite game in history, but the second was not all that good to me. First off, it was too easy. They turned the difficulty down a notch because people found the first too hard. I rather like it when a game is difficult, it adds to the fun, and enjoy a challenge, but they gave that a royal screwing right from the start. Secondly, most of the weapons were complete crap, i was dissapointed by a lot of the moves and combos, which brings me to my next point, the fact that it was repetative. i didnt like the nature of how it gave the same enemies over and over with little to no variation.
Anywho, another letdown of mine would have to be GTA4. It wasnt horrible, i just think they could have done a better job of it. Although i do like the fact that they took out the respect and muscles and hunger crap from San Andreas.
There are a few things i disagree with in this topic, like the guys who said Fallout 3 was a dissapointment. I enjoyed the game, it was fun and an overall good game to me. I also disagree with the guys that said Gears 2. I enjoyed it, new enemies and weapons, and of coarse there is always Cole, who, if he was in any game, it should instantly get 2 gold stars.
Oh, last minute thought, another dissapointment, Guitar Hero. Any of them, I dont care, i dont like them. The guitar controller has those buttons that just really hurt, which compared to the Rock Band controllers, which are actually really comfortable, just really suck.
Well, thats my post, and sorry for making it so long, this is my first one and i wanted to make it good.

So you have an opinion. Why do you feel the need to bash mine? Is it because I'm oh so wrong? So please enlighten me and explain why I'm oh so wrong.Nazulu said:
I wouldn't consider it a waste for you to explain what you dislike about Brawl. It won't change my opinion on it, but it'd make you look like less of an idiot. If you go out of your way to insult someone for having a different opinion and then refuse to elaborate on why their opinion is so wrong, well, that's a much bigger waste of both our times, don't you think?
So why did you feel the need to flame me if you don't care about what I think? Especially considering that I didn't call you a narrow-minded, ignorant bigot, merely that the way you're acting makes you look like one. Try not to use the word asshole so much too, it's unimaginative and adds nothing to the discussion. Especially since I'm not the one flaming others for daring to disagree.
Now I'm curious. How exactly are people like me responsible for games getting worse?
I have to agree with you on B&W2. Sure, the game mechanics had been refined, but it just failed to capture the charm of the original. Gaining people's worship now involves checking off lists on buildings designed to impress them, or just conquering the shit out of everything, self defence is an act of evil, and the creature reward system now just seems like tailoring the personality of your creature, rather than seeing how he behaves. Hell, I hardly noticed my new creature until it was time to fight.SomeBritishDude said:
Dead Space... It bored the HELL out of me, and I couldn't put my finger on why. I thought it was because it's a Silent Hero game... But honestly... After watching Yahtzee's review, I agree with him completely. It's bland.
It was a good game, i was just disappointed with the difference between what was said was going to be in it, and what actually was in it.Iaspis said:
Sorta like Fable. It's an entertaining game, but doesn't really come close to what molyneux said about it.
You were.smokeraven said:
My answer really depends on how you want to do this. Sometimes I'm expecting decency and I get shit and sometimes I'm expecting greatness and I get mediocrity, both provide a similar ammount of disapointment.
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within still stands out a sore spot for me. It's not terrible, but as a sequel to one of my favourite games it really dropped the ball in terms of story and asthetics.
Assasins' creed had lots of promise and was disapointed me greatly.
Army of Two. I was one of the few people who loved the concept and the design, found the masks awesome and the whole 'blinged out merc' thing quite refreshing. It's a shame the underlying game was so... well... shitty.
Deus Ex 2, obviously.
MGS4 just... didn't do it for me. After the fucking masterpiece that was MGS3 (seriously one of the best in the ps2 games ever made and the only game in the series even close to MGS in terms of quality) I was expecting genius. What I got was stupidity.
